CHIMES
Key reminder chime
A chime sounds if the driver's side door is
opened while the key is left in the ignition
switch. Remove the key and take it with you
when leaving the vehicle.
Light reminder chime
With the ignition switch in the OFF position,
a chime sounds when the driver's side door
is opened if the headlights or parking lights
are on.
Turn the headlight control switch off before
leaving the vehicle.
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have an audible wear
warning. When a brake pad requires re-
placement, it makes a high pitched scraping
sound when the vehicle is in motion,
whether or not the brake pedal is de-
pressed. Have the brakes checked as soon
as possible if the warning sound is heard.Your vehicle has two types of security sys-
tems:
cNissan Vehicle Immobilizer System±
NVIS (if so equipped)
cVehicle security system (if so equipped)
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM (NVIS) (if so equipped)
The Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
(NVIS) will not allow the engine to start
without the use of a registered NVIS key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered
NVIS key (for example, when interference iscaused by another NVIS key, an automated
toll road device or automated payment de-
vice on the key ring), restart the engine
using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or
LOCK position, and wait approximately 5
seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the de-
vice (which may have caused the inter-
ference) separate from the registered
NVIS key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, Nissan
recommends placing the registered NVIS
key on a separate key ring to avoid interfer-
ence from other devices.

Security indicator light (Vehicle se-
curity system)
The security indicator light is located on the
instrument panel near the windshield.
The security indicator light shows the status
of the vehicle security system.
The light operates whenever the ignition
switch is in the LOCK, OFF, or ACC posi-
tion.
The vehicle security system has four
phases. For each phase the operation of the
security indicator light is different.
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 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.
The horn may or may not beep once.
Refer to ``Silencing the horn beep fea-
ture'' later in this section.

system is now pre-armed. After about 30
seconds the vehicle security 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.

The vehicle security system will give the
following 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.

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.
