How to activate the vehicle security
system1. Close all windows.
The system can be activated even if the
windows are open.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close and lock all doors and hood.
Lock all doors by pressing the LOCK button
on the keyfobor using the key. When using
the keyfob, the hazard indicators flash twice
to indicate all doors are locked.
4. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light inthe meter comes on. The SECURITY indica-
tor light glows for about 30 seconds and then
blinks. The system is now activated. If, during
this 30 second time period, the door is
unlocked by the key or the keyfob, or the
ignition key is turned to ACC or ON, the
system will not activate.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will acti-
vate with all doors and hood locked and
ignition key off. Turn the ignition key to
ACC to turn the system off.
Vehicle security system operationThe security system will give the following alarm:
The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.

proximately 1 minute. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by unlocking
a door with the key, or by pressing the
UNLOCK button on the keyfob.
The alarm is activated by:
Opening the door without using the key or
keyfob.
Opening the back door without using the
keyfob.Opening the hood.
How to stop alarmThe alarm will stop only by unlocking a door with
the key, or by pressing the UNLOCK button on
keyfob. The alarm will not stop if the ignition
switch is turned to ACC or ON.
If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, have it checked by your
NISSAN dealer.NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEMThe Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
key.
If the engine fails to start using the registered
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System key, it may be
due to interference caused by another Nissan
Vehicle Immobilizer System key, an automated
toll road device or automated payment device on
the key ring. Restart the engine using the follow-
ing procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK
position and wait approximately 10 seconds.

3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered Nissan Vehicle
Immobilizer System key.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the registered
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System key on a
separate key ring to avoid interference from
other devices.
Statement related to section 15 of FCC
rules for Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem (CONT ASSY-BCM, ANT ASSY-
IMMOBILIZER)
This device complies with part 15 of the
FCC Rules and RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the follow-
ing two conditions;
(1) This device may not cause harmful in-
terference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired opera-
tion of the device.
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EX-
PRESSLY APPROVED BY THE MANUFAC-
TURE FOR COMPLIANCE COULD VOID
THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPERATE
THE EQUIPMENT.
Security indicator lightThis light blinks whenever the registered Nissan
Vehicle Immobilizer System key is removed or
turned to OFF, ACC or LOCK position. This
function indicates the security systems
equipped on the vehicle are operational.
If Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System is malfunc-
tioning, this light will remain on while the regis-
tered Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System Key is
in the ON position.
If the light still remains on and/or the
engine will not start, see your NISSAN
dealer for Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-tem service as soon as possible. Please
bring all Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem keys that you have when visiting your
NISSAN dealer for service.

You can only drive your vehicle using the master
or valet keys which are registered to the Nissan
Vehicle Immobilizer System components in your
vehicle. These keys have a transponder chip in
the key head.
The master key can be used for all the locks.
The valet key cannot be used for the glove box
and console lid locks.
To protect belongings when you leave a key with
someone, give them the valet key only.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Record the key number on the key number plate
supplied with your keys and keep it in asafe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. NISSAN does not record any key num-
bers so it is very important to keep track of your
key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you have
lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate
from. If you still have a key, this key can be
duplicated by your NISSAN dealer.
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System KEY - Master
and Valet keys:
The key number is necessary when you need
extra Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys.
As many as 5 Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
keys can be used with one vehicle. New keys
must be registered to the Nissan Vehicle Immo-
bilizer System components in your vehicle by
your NISSAN dealer. At this time, you should
bring all Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys
that you have to your NISSAN dealer for regis-
tration. This is because the registration process
will erase all memory of the Nissan Vehicle
Immobilizer System components.
WARNING
Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from uninten-
tionally opening the doors, and will
help keep out intruders.
Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
