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.
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

XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so
equipped)
WARNINGHIGH VOLTAGE
When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to
modify or disassemble. Always have
your xenon headlights replaced at a
NISSAN dealer.
Xenon headlights provide consider-
ably more light than conventional
headlights. If they are not correctly
aimed, they might temporarily blind
an oncoming driver or the driver
ahead of you and cause a serious
accident. If headlights are not aimed
correctly, immediately take your ve-
hicle to a NISSAN dealer and have
the headlights adjusted correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize.The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off operation.
It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (for
example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal). Even when the daytime
running lights are active (Canada only),
the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon headlights
is not reduced.
If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start blink-
ing, or the color of the light will become
reddish. If one or more of the above
signs appear, contact a NISSAN dealer.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH

CAUTION
Use the headlights with the engine run-
ning to avoid discharging the vehicle
battery.
Autolight system (if so equipped)The autolight system allows the headlights to be
set so they turn on and off automatically.
To set the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO posi-
tion.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the
headlights on and off.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the switch
to the OFF,
,or
position.The autolight system can turn on the headlights
automatically when it is dark, turn off the head-
lights when it is light, and keep the headlights on
for up to 45 seconds after you turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position and open any door
then close all the doors. The headlight off time
can be adjusted on the system setting display.
See the “4. Display screen, heater, air condi-
tioner and audio system” section.
If the ignition switch is turned OFF and one of
the doors is opened and this condition is con-
tinued, the headlights remain ON for 5 minutes.

Be sure not to put anything on top of the
photo sensor
A
located on the top left-
hand side of the instrument panel. The
photo sensor controls the autolamp; if it is
covered, the photo sensor reacts as if it is
dark and the headlights will illuminate.
Headlight beam select
1To select the low beam, put the lever in the
neutral position as shown.
2To select the high beam, push the lever
forward while the switch is in the
po-
sition. Pull it back to select the low beam.
3Pulling the lever toward you will flash the
headlight high beam.
Battery saver systemWhen the headlight switch is in the
or
position while the ignition switch is in
the ON position, the lights will automatically
turn off 5 minutes after the ignition switch has
been turned to the OFF position.
When the headlight switch remains in theor
position after the lights auto-
matically turn off, the lights will turn on for 5
minutes when the headlight switch is turned
to the OFF position and then turn to the
or
position.CAUTION
Even though the battery saver feature
automatically turns off the headlights
after a period of time, you should turn
the headlight switch to the OFF position
when the engine is not running to avoid
discharging the vehicle battery.

Headlight aiming control (if so
equipped)Depending on the number of occupants in the
vehicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight
axis may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is
traveling on a hilly road, the headlights may
directly hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle
ahead or the windshield of the oncoming vehicle.
The light axis can be lowered with the operation
of the switch.
The larger the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.When traveling with no heavy load or on a flat
road, select position 0.
WARNING
Xenon headlights are extremely bright
compared to conventional headlights. If
the xenon headlights hit the rearview
mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
shield of oncoming vehicle, the driver of
these vehicles may have difficulty driv-
ing because of the brightness. Use the
headlight aiming control switch to lower
the light axis. See “Xenon headlights”
earlier in this section for additional in-
formation.DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM
(CANADA ONLY)The daytime running lights automatically illumi-
nate when the engine is started with parking
brake released. The daytime running lights op-
erate with the headlight switch in the OFF
position or in the
position.
The daytime running lights may come on after
turning the switch to the OFF position andimmediately turning it to the ON position. This is
not a malfunction.
The daytime running lights will be turned off
when the headlight switch is turned to the AUTO
(only when the headlights are lit) or
posi-
tion or when the fog light is turned on.
The daytime running lights will remain on until
the ignition switch is turned to the ACC or OFF
position.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system
is active, tail lights on your vehicle are
not on. It is necessary at dusk to turn on
your headlights. Failure to do so could
cause an accident injuring yourself and
others.
