vehicle.

the headlights or parking lights are on.

ing the vehicle.

of the following improper operations is found.
cThe Intelligent Key is left inside the vehicle
when locking the doors.
cAny doors are not closed securely when

cVehicle security system
cNISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the doors
or trunk lid when the system is armed. It is not,
however, a motion detection type system that
activates when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or
exterior vehicle components in all situations. Al-
