Vehicle ahead detection indicator (if
so equipped)
This indicator shows when the Automatic
Emergency Braking (AEB) system is en-
gaged and has detected a vehicle.
For additional information, refer to “Auto-
matic Emergency Braking (AEB)” or “Auto-
matic Emergency Braking (AEB) with Pe-
destrian Detection” in the “Starting and
driving” section of this manual.
System Fault (if so equipped)
This warning appears if there is a malfunc-
tion in the Rear Automatic Braking (RAB)
system. For additional information, refer to
“Rear Automatic Braking (RAB)” in the “Start-
ing and driving” section of this manual.
Parking Sensor (if so equipped)
This indicator illuminates when the sensor
is activated. For additional information, re-
fer to “Rear Sonar System (RSS)” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
Unavailable: High Cabin Temperature
(if so equipped)
This message appears when the camera
detects an interior temperature of more
than approximately 104°F (40°C). For addi-
tional information, refer to “Lane Departure
Warning (LDW)” in the “Starting and driving”
section of this manual.
Parking Sensor Error: See Owner’s
Manual (if so equipped)
This warning illuminates when there is an
error with the system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Rear Sonar System (RSS)”
in the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.Your vehicle may have three types of secu-
rity systems:
• Vehicle security system
• NISSAN Anti-Thef t System
• NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audible alarm signals if someone
opens the doors, hood or lif tgate when the
system is armed. It is not, however, a mo-
tion detection type system that activates
when a vehicle is moved or when a vibra-
tion occurs.

SECURITY SYSTEMS (if so equipped)

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:
For USA:
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions; (1) This device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interfer-
ence received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of
the device.
NOTE:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's author-
ity to operate the equipment.
For Canada:
This device complies with Industry
Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must ac-
cept any interference, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired opera-
tion of the device.
2-40Instruments and controls

the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System. Af-
ter the registration process, these compo-
nents will only recognize keys coded into
the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
during registration. Any key that is not
given to the dealer at the time of registra-
tion will no longer be able to start your
vehicle.

(Af ter step 3 is performed, when the ig-
nition switch is pushed without de-
pressing the brake pedal, the ignition
switch position will change to ON.)
4. Push the ignition switch while depress- ing the brake pedal within 10 seconds
af ter the chime sounds. The engine will
start.
NOTE:
• When the ignition switch is pushed tothe ON position or the engine is started
by the above procedure, the Intelligent
Key battery discharge indicator ap-
pears in the vehicle information dis-
play (if so equipped) even when the In-
telligent Key is inside the vehicle. This
is not a malfunction. To turn off the In-
telligent Key battery discharge indica-
tor, touch the ignition switch with the
Intelligent Key again.
• If the Intelligent Key battery discharge indicator appears, replace the battery
as soon as possible. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Battery replace-
ment” in the “Do-it-yourself ” section of
this manual.
NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM
(NATS) (if so equipped)
The NISSAN Anti-Thef t System (NATS) will
not allow the engine to start without the
use of the registered NATS key.
If the engine does not start by using the
registered NATS key, it may be due to inter-
ference caused by:
• Another NATS key.
• An automated toll road device.
• An automated payment device.
• Other devices that transmit similar sig-nals.
Start the engine using the following proce-
dure:
1. Remove any items that may be causing the 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.
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
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the 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.
