on the remote keyless entry, pushing the
request switch (Intelligent Key equipped
model) or using the key.
When using the remote keyless entry system
or the request switch, the hazard indicators
will operate as shown in “Remote keyless
entry system” or “Intelligent Key system” in
the “3. Pre-driving checks and adjustments”
section.
4. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light in
the 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, the remote keyless
entry, request switch or the ignition switch 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 activate
with all doors locked and ignition switch
off. Turn the ignition switch 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.
The alarm automatically turns off after ap-
proximately 1 minute. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be stopped by unlock-
ing a door with the key, by pushing the
UNLOCK button on the remote keyless entry
or pushing the request switch.
The alarm is activated by:

Opening the door (including the back door)
without using the key, remote keyless entry or
pushing the request switch.
How to stop alarmThe alarm will stop only by unlocking a door with
the key, by pushing the UNLOCK button on
remote keyless entry, or pushing the request
switch (when carrying the Intelligent Key with
you). 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 a
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 pay-
ment device on the key ring. Restart the engine
using the following 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.

the equipment. This device complies with
Part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-210 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This de-
vice may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any inter-
ference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation of the
device.The Intelligent Key uses coded radio signals to
communicate with the vehicle. When the Intelli-
gent Key is near the vehicle, such as when
standing near the vehicle with the Intelligent Key
in your pocket or purse, it allows the vehicle to
be locked or unlocked. And, when you are inside
the vehicle while carrying the Intelligent Key with
you, it allows the engine to be started without
inserting the key to the ignition switch. It is also
possible to use the remote keyless entry func-
tion.
CAUTION

Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key
with you.

Do not leave the vehicle with the
Intelligent Key inside.

The Intelligent Key may not function
correctly depending on the environment
or operating conditions. It could also
malfunction if you do not use it cor-
rectly.

The Intelligent Key transmits faint radio
waves.
In the following situations, the Intelli-
gent Key and remote keyless entry func-tions may not operate correctly, and you
may have to use the metal key (me-
chanical key or valet key):
•when there are strong signals com-
ing from a television tower, power
station or broadcasting station.
•when you have wireless equipment
or a cellular phone with you.
•when the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by a metallic mate-
rial.
•when radio wave-type remote control
entry is used nearby.
•when the Intelligent Key is placed
near an electric appliance such as a
personal computer.

The Intelligent Key continually con-
sumes battery power as the key receives
a signal to communicate with the ve-
hicle. Battery life of the Intelligent Key is
about 2 years, although it varies de-
pending on the operating conditions.
When the battery of the Intelligent Key
is low, the green blinking key warning
light goes out about 30 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned to ON. If the
battery runs down, replace it with a new
one.INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (if so
