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 detec-
tion type system that activates when a ve-
hicle is moved or when a vibration occurs. The system helps detect vehicle thef t but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
thef t of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your keys in the ignition, 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 protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and spe-
cialty shops. A NISSAN dealer may also offer
such equipment. Check with your insur-
ance company to see if you may be eligible
for discounts for various thef t 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. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK position and remove the key.
3. Close all doors. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with:

2-36Instruments and controls

∙ the power door lock switch (if thedoor is opened, locked and then
closed).
∙ the key — master or mechanical (In- telligent Key models).
∙ any request switch (Intelligent Key models).
∙ the key fob or Intelligent Key.
Key fob and Intelligent Key operation:
∙ Press the
button. All doors
lock. The hazard lights flash twice
and the horn beeps once to indicate
all doors are locked.
∙ When the
button is pressed
with all doors locked, the hazard
lights flash twice and the horn beeps
once as a reminder that the doors
are already locked.
The horn may or may not beep. For
additional information, refer to “Silenc-
ing the horn beep feature” in the “Pre-
driving checks and adjustments” sec-
tion in this manual. 4. Confirm that the
indicator light
comes on. The
light stays on for
about 30 seconds. The vehicle security
system is now pre-armed. Af ter about
30 seconds the vehicle security system
automatically shif ts into the armed
phase. The
light begins to flash
once every 3 seconds. If, during the 30-
second pre-arm time period, the driv-
er’s door is unlocked by the key, a re-
quest switch, the key fob or Intelligent
Key, or if the ignition switch is placed in
the ACC or ON position, the system will
not arm.
∙ If the key is turned slowly when lock-
ing the driver’s door, the system may
not arm. Furthermore, if the key is
turned beyond the vertical position
toward the unlock position to remove
the key, the system may be disarmed
when the key is removed. If the indi-
cator light fails to glow for a period of
time, unlock the door once and lock it
again.
∙ Even when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
arm with all doors closed and locked
with the ignition switch placed in the
OFF position.
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 af ter a period of time. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered
with again. The alarm can be shut off by
unlocking the driver’s door with the key,
a request switch, by pressing the
button on the key fob or Intelligent Key
or placing the ignition switch in the ON
or ACC position.
The alarm is activated by:
∙ opening a door without using the key, a request switch, key fob or Intelligent Key
(even if the door is unlocked by using
the inside lock knob or the power door
lock switch).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking the driv-
er’s door by pressing the
button on
the key fob or Intelligent Key, or by unlock-
ing all doors with any request switch (Intel-
ligent Key models) or placing the ignition
switch in the ON or ACC position.

2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the in-
terference) separate from the regis-
tered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN
recommends placing the registered key on
a separate key ring to avoid interference
from other devices. Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
