Your vehicle has two types of security systems:● Vehicle security system
● NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the
doors, trunk, or hood 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.
LIC3234LIC2930
SECURITY SYSTEMS
2-36Instruments and controls

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-
ways secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your Intelligent Key in
the vehicle, and always lock the vehicle when
unattended. Be aware of your surroundings, and
park in secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection, such
as component locks, identification markers, and
tracking systems, are available at auto supply
stores and specialty shops. A NISSAN dealer
may also offer such equipment. Check with your
insurance company to see if you may be eligible
for discounts for various theft protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.(The system can be
armed even if the windows are open.)
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.
3. Close all doors, hood and trunk. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with the
Intelligent Key, door handle request switch,
or mechanical key.
4. Confirm that the
security indicator
light stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-armed. The vehicle security system will automati-
cally shift into the armed phase. The
security light begins to flash once every
three seconds. If during the pre-armed
phase one of the following occurs, the sys-
tem will not arm:
● Any door is unlocked with the mechanical
key, the Intelligent Key or door request
switch.
● Ignition switch is placed in ACC or ON
position.
● Even when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
activate with all the doors, hood and
trunk lid locked with the ignition switch
placed in the LOCK position. When
placing the ignition switch in the ACC
or ON position, the system will be re-
leased.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the following
alarm:
● The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently but synchronously.
● The alarm automatically turns off after a pe-
riod of time. However, the alarm reactivates if
the vehicle is tampered with again. The alarm is activated by:
● opening any door or hood without using the
key or Intelligent Key (even if the door is
unlocked by releasing the door inside lock
knob) .
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking a door or the
trunk with the mechanical key, pushing the
button on the Intelligent Key, or pushing the re-
quest switch on the driver’s or passenger’s door
with the Intelligent Key in range of the door
handle.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
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 automated toll road
device or automatic payment device on the key
ring) , restart the engine using the following pro-
cedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds.
Instruments and controls2-37

2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF orLOCK position and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN rec-
ommends placing the registered key on a sepa-
rate key ring to avoid interference from other
devices.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.

placed in the LOCK position with the key re-
moved from the ignition switch.

mobilizer System is operational.

mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
this service.

CAUTION
●Do not operate the washer continuously
for more than 30 seconds.
● Do not operate the washer if the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir is
empty.
● Do not fill the windshield-washer fluid
reservoir with windshield-washer fluid
concentrates at full strength. Some
methyl alcohol based windshield-
washer fluid concentrates may perma-
nently stain the grille if spilled while
filling the windshield-washer fluid
reservoir.
● Pre-mix windshield-washer fluid con-
centrates with water to the manufactur-
er’s recommended levels before pour-
ing the fluid into the windshield-washer
fluid reservoir. Do not use the
windshield-washer fluid reservoir to
mix the windshield-washer fluid con-
centrate and water. NOTE:
If the windshield wiper operation is inter-
rupted by snow or ice, the wiper may stop
moving to protect its motor. If this occurs,
turn the wiper switch to the OFF position
and remove the snow or ice that is on and
around the wiper arms. In approximately
1 minute, turn the switch on again to oper-
ate the wiper.
RAIN-SENSING AUTO WIPER
SYSTEM (if so equipped)
The rain-sensing auto wiper system can auto-
matically turn on the wipers and adjust the wiper
speed depending on the rainfall and the vehicle
speed by using the rain sensor located on the
upper part of the windshield.
To set the rain-sensing auto wiper system, push
the lever down to the AUTO position
1. The
wiper will sweep once while the ignition switch is
in the ON position.
The rain sensor sensitivity level can be adjusted
by turning the knob toward the front
2(High) or
toward the rear
3(Low) .
LIC3233
2-40Instruments and controls

– High — High sensitive operation
– Low — Low sensitive operation
To turn the rain-sensing auto wiper system off,
push up the lever to the OFF position, or pull
down the lever to the LO or HI position.
For additional information on disabling the rain-
sensing feature, refer to “How to Use the Vehicle
Information Display” in “Vehicle Information Dis-
play” in this section.
CAUTION
●Do not touch the rain sensor and
around it when the wiper switch is in the
AUTO position and the ignition switch is
in the ON position. The wipers may op-
erate unexpectedly and cause an injury
or damage a wiper.
● The rain-sensing auto wipers are in-
tended for use during rain. If the switch
is left in the AUTO position, the wipers
may operate unexpectedly when dirt,
fingerprints, oil film or insects are stuck
on or around the sensor. The wipers
may also operate when exhaust gas or
moisture affect the rain sensor. ●
When the windshield glass is coated
with water repellent, the speed of the
rain-sensing auto wipers may be higher
even though the amount of the rainfall
is small.
● Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.
● The rain-sensing auto wipers may not
operate if rain does not hit the rain
sensor even if it is raining.
● Using Genuine NISSAN wiper blades is
recommended for proper operation of
the rain-sensing auto wiper system. For
additional information, refer to “Wind-
shield wiper blades” in the “Do-it-
yourself” section of this manual. To defrost the rear window glass and outside
mirror (if so equipped) , start the engine and push
the rear window defroster switch on. The rear
window defroster indicator light on the switch
comes on. Push the switch again to turn the
defroster off.
The rear window defroster automatically turns off
after approximately 15 minutes.

window, be careful not to scratch or dam-
age the rear window defroster.
