cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
theft of interior or exterior vehicle com-
ponents in all situations. Always secure
your vehicle even if parking for a brief
period. Never leave your keys in the
vehicle, and always lock it when unat-
tended. Be aware of your surroundings,
and park in secure, well-lit areas when-
ever possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and speci-
alty shops. Your 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 keys from the vehicle.
3. Close all doors, hood (if so equipped) and liftgate. Lock all doors. The doors
can be locked with the key fob (if so
equipped), Intelligent Key (if so
equipped), the request switch (if so
equipped), or power door lock switch.
4. Confirm that the security indicator light stays on for about 30 seconds.
The vehicle security system is now
pre-armed. The vehicle security sys- tem will automatically 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 system will
not arm:
.Any door is unlocked with the key
fob (if so equipped), the Intelligent
Key (if so equipped), or the request
switch (if so equipped).
.Ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
Even when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
activate with all the doors, hood (if so
equipped) and liftgate locked with the
ignition switch placed in the LOCK posi-
tion. When placing the ignition switch in
the ON position, the system will be
released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
. The headlights blink and the horn
sounds intermittently.
. The alarm automatically turns off
after approximately 50 seconds. How-
ever, the alarm reactivates if the
vehicle is tampered with again.

The alarm is activated by:
.Opening any doors, the hood (if so
equipped) or liftgate without using the
key or Intelligent Key (even if the door
is unlocked by releasing the door
inside lock knob or using the mechan-
ical key).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking a door
or the liftgate by pushing the UNLOCK
button on the key fob (if so equipped)
or the Intelligent Key (if so equipped), or
pushing the request switch (if so
equipped) on the driver’s or passenger’s
door in range of the door handle.
If the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged:
If the Intelligent Key battery is discharged,
the alarm will not stop by pushing the
UNLOCK
button on the key fob (if so
equipped) or the Intelligent Key (if so
equipped), or pushing the request switch
(if so equipped) on the driver’s or passen-
ger’s door in range of the door handle. In
such a case, unlock the driver’s door
using the mechanical key and touch the
ignition switch with the Intelligent Key to
stop the alarm. (See “Intelligent Key bat-
tery discharge” (P.5-17).)
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYS-
TEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the
registered key, it may be due to inter-
ference caused by another registered key,
an automated toll road device or auto-
mated payment 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. Place the ignition switch in 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 regis-
tered key.
If this procedure allows the engine to
start, NISSAN recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring
to avoid interference from other de-
vices.

INTELLIGENT KEY (if so equipped)
Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to
your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system com-
ponents and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System components. As many as 4 In-
telligent Keys can be registered and used
with one vehicle. The new keys must be
registered by a NISSAN dealer prior to use
with the Intelligent Key system and
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System of
your vehicle. Since the registration pro-
cess requires erasing all memory in the
Intelligent Key components when regis-
tering new keys, be sure to take all
Intelligent Keys that you have to the
NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
. Be sure to carry the Intelligent
Key with you when driving. The
Intelligent Key is a precision de-
vice with a built-in transmitter. To
avoid damaging it, please note
the following.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-3

CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key
installed in the Intelligent Key.
WARNING
.Always have the doors locked
while driving. Along with the use
of seat belts, this provides great-
er 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 unin-
tentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
. Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming
traffic.
. To help avoid risk of injury or
death through unintended opera-
tion of the vehicle and or its
systems, including entrapment
in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the
assistance of others or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addi-
tionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to
cause a significant risk of injury
or death to people and pets.

SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The sonar sensors are located on the rear
bumpers. (See “Exterior rear” (P.0-4).)
.Always keep the area near the sonar
sensors clean.
. If the sonar sensors are dirty, wipe
them off with a soft cloth while being
careful to not damage them.
. The sonar sensors may be blocked by
temporary ambient conditions such
as splashing water, mist or fog. The
blocked condition may also be caused
by objects such as ice, frost or dirt
obstructing the sonar sensors. Check
for and remove objects obstructing
the area around the sonar sensors.
. Do not subject the area around the
sonar sensors to strong impact. Also,
do not remove or disassemble the
sonar sensors. If the sonar sensors
and peripheral areas are deformed in
an accident, etc., have the sonar
sensors checked by a NISSAN dealer.
. Do not attach stickers (including
transparent material), install acces-
sories or apply additional paint on
the sonar sensors and their surround- ing areas. This may cause a malfunc-
tion or improper operation.
. When washing the vehicle using a
high-pressure washer, do not apply
direct washer pressure on the sonar
sensors. This may cause a malfunction
of the sonar sensors.
FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCK
To prevent a door lock from freezing,
apply deicer through the key hole. If the
lock becomes frozen, heat the key before
inserting it into the key hole, or use the
Intelligent Key system or the remote
keyless entry key fob.
ANTI-FREEZE
In the winter when it is anticipated that
the outside temperature will drop below
32°F (0°C), check the anti-freeze to assure
proper winter protection. For additional
information, see “Engine cooling system”
(P.8-4).
BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during
extremely cold weather conditions, the
battery fluid may freeze and damage the
battery. To maintain maximum efficiency,
the battery should be checked regularly.
For additional information, see “Battery”
(P.8-11).
DRAINING OF COOLANT WATER
If the vehicle is to be left outside without
anti-freeze, drain the cooling system,
including the engine block. Refill before
operating the vehicle. For details, see
“Engine cooling system” (P.8-4).
