4. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light
comes on. The SECURITY light glows for
about 30 seconds and then blink. The sys-
tem is now activated. If, during this 30
second time period, the door is unlocked by
the key or the multi-remote controller, or the

IIf the key is turned slowly toward the
front of the vehicle when locking the

sition toward the rear of the vehicle to

once and lock it again.

vate with all doors, hood and trunk lid
locked and ignition key off. Turn the

ing a door or trunk lid with the key, or by
pressing the UNLOCK button on the multi-

IOpening the door without using the key or
multi-remote controller.
IOpening the trunk lid without using the key
or multi-remote controller.
IOpening the hood.

SYSTEMThe Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System will
not allow the engine to start without the use ofthe registered Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem key.
If the engine fails to start using the registered
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System key, it may
be due to interference caused by another
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System key, an
automated toll road device or automated pay-
ment device on the key ring. Restart the en-
gine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK
position and wait approximately 10 sec-
onds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered Nissan Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System key.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the regis-
tered Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
key on a separate key ring to avoid inter-
ference from other devices.
