ignition NISSAN MURANO 2007 1.G Owner's Manual

Your vehicle has one or both types of security
systems, as follows:

Vehicle Security System (if so equipped)

NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light in the meter panel.VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (if so
equipped)The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the
doors when the system is armed. It is not,
however, a motion detection type system thatactivates 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.
Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your keys 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 sup-
ply 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 fea-
tures.
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audio alarm signals if parts of the vehicle are
disturbed.
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.
•Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position or remove the mechanical key
from the ignition switch (Intelligent Key
equipped model)
3. Close and lock all doors.
Lock all doors by pushing the LOCK button

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 lift gate)
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.

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.

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
