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

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:
∙ the power door lock switch (if the door 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 theindicator 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 driver’s
door is unlocked by the key, a request
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 locking
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 indicator 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.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of a registered key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered
key (for example, when interference is
caused by another registered key, an auto-
mated toll road device or automatic pay-
ment device on the key ring), restart the
engine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON po- sition for approximately 5 seconds.
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. FCC Notice:

CAUTION
Do not leave the ignition key inside the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
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, it is recom-
mended that you visit a 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, it can
be duplicated without knowing the key
number.

TIRE EQUIPMENT
1. SUMMER tires have a tread designed to
provide superior performance on dry
pavement. However, the performance
of these tires will be substantially re-
duced in snowy and icy conditions. If
you operate your vehicle on snowy or
icy roads, NISSAN recommends the use
of MUD & SNOW or ALL SEASON TIRES
on all four wheels. It is recommended
that you visit a NISSAN dealer for the tire
type, size, speed rating and availability
information.
2. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tires may be used. However,
some U.S. states and Canadian prov-
inces prohibit their use. Check local,
state and provincial laws before install-
ing studded tires.
