Security indicator light (Theft warn-
ing)
The security indicator light is located on the
instrument panel near the windshield.
The security indicator light shows the status
of the theft warning system.
The light operates whenever the ignition
switch is in the LOCK, OFF, or ACC posi-
tion.
The theft warning system has four phases.
For each phase the operation of the security
indicator light is different.
How to arm the theft warning sys-
tem
1. Close all windows.(The system can be
armed even if the windows are open).
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close the hood, trunk lid and all doors.
Lock all doors. The doors can be locked
with the key or with the multi-remote
controller.
Multi-remote controller operation:
cPush the LOCK button on the multi-
remote controller. All doors lock. The
hazard lights flash twice and the horn
beeps once to indicate all doors are
locked.
cWhen the LOCK button is pushed with
all doors locked, the hazard lights
flash twice and the horn beeps once
as a reminder that the doors are al-
ready locked.

system is now pre-armed. After about 30
seconds the theft warning system auto-
matically shifts into the armed phase. The
SECURITY light begins to flash once ev-
ery three seconds. If, during the 30-
second pre-arm time period, the door is
unlocked by the key or the multi-remote
controller, or the ignition key is turned to
ACC or ON, the system will not arm.
cIf the key is turned slowly when lock-
ing the door, the system may not arm.
Furthermore, if the key is turned ex-
cessively to the unlock position, the
system may be disarmed when the key
is removed. If the indicator light fails to
glow for 30 seconds, unlock the door
once and lock it again.
cEven when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
arm with all doors, hood and trunk lid
closed and locked with the ignition
key in the OFF position.
Theft warning system activation
The theft warning system will give the fol-
lowing alarm:
cThe headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.cThe alarm automatically turns off after
about 50 seconds. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by
unlocking a door or trunk lid with the key,
or by pressing the UNLOCK button on
the multi-remote controller.
The alarm is activated by:
copening the door or trunk lid without
using the key or multi-remote controller
(even if the door is unlocked by releasing
the door inside lock switch) or opening
the trunk lid by operating the opener
lever.
copening the hood.

controller.
The alarm does not stop if the ignition
switch is turned to ACC or ON.

ler. The instructions are on the back of the

A key number plate is supplied with your
keys. Record the key number and keep it in
a safe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. If you lose your keys, see an autho-
rized NISSAN dealer for duplicates by using
the key number. NISSAN does not record
key numbers 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, your
authorized NISSAN dealer can duplicate it.
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem (NVIS) keys (if so equipped)
You can only start your vehicle using the
keys that are supplied by your NISSAN
dealer. Each key has a transponder chip in
the key head that is electronically registered
to your vehicle's NVIS. These keys can be
used for all of the key locks on your vehicle.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
New or duplicate keys can only be ob-
tained from your NISSAN dealer and
must be registered to the Nissan Vehicle
Immobilizer System (NVIS) components
in your vehicle by an authorized NISSAN
dealer.As many as 5 NVIS keys can be used with
one vehicle. At this time, you should bring
all NVIS keys that you have to your autho-
rized NISSAN dealer for registration. This is
because the registration process will erase
the memory of all key codes previously
registered into the Nissan Vehicle Immobi-
lizer System. After the registration process,
these components will only recognize keys
coded into the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer
System (NVIS) during registration. Any key
that is not given to your dealer at the time of
registration will no longer be able to start
your vehicle.

WARNING
cAlways 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
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
c
Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches and controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.

tem allows you to lock or unlock all doors
simultaneously.
