sure checks could result in tire failure.
Serious vehicle damage could occur
and may lead to a collision, which could
result in serious personal injury or

ing the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion, the system will be released.

The NISSAN Anti-Thef t System will not al-
low the engine to start without the use of a
registered NATS key.
If the engine does not start using the reg-
istered NATS key, it may be due to interfer-
ence caused by:
• Another NATS key
• Automated toll road device
• Automated payment device
•
Other devices that transmit similar signals
Instruments and controls2-39

Start the engine using the following proce-
dure:
1. Remove any items that may be causingthe interference away from the NATS key.
2. Leave the ignition switch in the ON posi- tion for approximately 5 seconds.
3. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately
10 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 again.
5. Start the engine.
6. Repeat the steps above until all possible interferences are eliminated.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the regis-
tered NATS key separate from other de-
vices to avoid interference.NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM (if so equipped)
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of a registered key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered
key (for example, when interference is
caused by another registered key, an auto-
mated toll road device or automatic pay-
ment device on the key ring), restart the
engine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON posi- tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the de- vice (which may have caused the inter-
ference) separate from the registered
key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN
recommends placing the registered key on
a separate key ring to avoid interference
from other devices. FCC Notice:
