ways secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your keys in the ignition,
and always lock the vehicle when unattended. Be
aware of your surroundings, and park in secure,
well-lit areas whenever possible.

as component locks, identification markers, and
tracking systems, are available at auto supply
stores and specialty shops. Your NISSAN dealer
may also offer such equipment. Check with your

2. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK posi-
tion and remove the key.
3. Close the trunk lid and all doors. Lock all
doors. The doors can be locked with:
cthe power door lock switch (if the door is

all doors locked, the hazard lights flash
twice and the horn beeps once as a re-
minder that the doors are already locked.

tem is now pre-armed. After about 30 sec-
onds the vehicle security system automati-
cally shifts into the armed phase. The

the driver’s door, the system may not
arm. Furthermore, if the key is turned
beyond the vertical position toward the
unlock position to remove the key, the
system may be disarmed when the key
is removed. If the indicator light fails to
glow for 30 seconds, unlock the door
once and lock it again.

gers are in the vehicle, the system will
arm with all doors and trunk lid closed
and locked with the ignition key in the
