1999 NISSAN FRONTIER remote start

The theft warning system provides visual
and audio 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 the hood and both doors.
4. Push the
button on the multi-
remote controller. Both doors lock. The
hazard lights flash twice and the hornbeeps once to indicate both doors are
locked.
I
When thebutton is pushed with both
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 once. Refer to ``silencing
the horn beep feature'' later in this section.
The system can be activated even if the
windows are open.
5.
Confirm that the SECURITY indicator
light comes on. The SECURITY light
glows for about 30 seconds and then
begins to flash once every three seconds.
The system is now activated. If, during
this 30-second 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 activate.
IIf the key is turned slowly when lock-
ing the door, the system may not acti-
vate. Furthermore, if the key is turned
excessively to the unlock position, the
system may be deactivated when the
key is removed. If the indicator light
fails to glow for 30 seconds, unlock
the door once and lock it again.
IEven when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
activate with both doors, and hood
locked and ignition key off. Turn the
ignition key to ACC or ON to turn the
system off.
The theft warning system is NOT activated if
one of the following occurs:
IA door is unlocked or the ignition key is
turned to the ACC or ON position during
the 30 seconds in which the SECURITY
light stays on.
IThe SECURITY light blinks at a steady
1/2 second on - 1/2 second off rate (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.
Theft warning system operation
The theft warning system emits the follow-
ing alarm:
IThe headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently. In addition, the starter mo-
tor does not operate.
I
The alarm automatically turns off after 2 to
3 minutes. However, the alarm reactivates
