cvehicle ran out of fuel, which caused
the engine to misfire.
cfuel filler cap was left off or improperly
installed, allowing fuel to evaporate
into the atmosphere.
If you suspect that you experienced such a
condition, drive the vehicle to an authorized
NISSAN dealer and have the vehicle in-
spected. Avoid any unnecessary diagnosis
during the service by informing the dealer of
the condition that may have occurred.
The theft warning system provides audio
and visual alarm signals if parts of the
vehicle are disturbed.
How to activate the theft warning
system
1. Close all windows.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close all doors and the hood. Lock all
doors by pressing the
button on the
multi-remote controller. At this time, the
parking lights blink and the horn chirps to
indicate all doors are locked.The system can be activated even if the
windows are open.
4. Confirm that the SECURITY light, lo-
cated under the hazard warning switch,
illuminates. The SECURITY light illumi-
nates for about 30 seconds and then
begins to flash once every three sec-
onds. The system is now activated.
The theft warning system is NOT activated if
one of the following occurs:
cA door is unlocked or opened, the hood is
opened, or the ignition key is turned to
the ACC or ON position during the 30
seconds in which the SECURITY light
stays on.
cThe SECURITY light blinks at a steady
1/2 second on - 1/2 second off rate
because a door or the hood is open and
the key is not in the ACC or ON position.
When the ignition key is turned to the
ACC or ON position, the SECURITY light
turns off.
