AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Key reminder chime
A chime sounds if the driver's side door is
opened while the key is left in the ignition
switch. Remove the key and take it with you
when leaving the vehicle.
Light reminder chime
With the ignition switch in the OFF position,
a chime sounds when the driver's side door
is opened if the headlights or parking lights
are on.
Turn the headlight control switch off before
leaving the vehicle.
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have an audible wear
warning. When a brake pad requires re-
placement, it makes a high pitched scraping
sound when the vehicle is in motion,
whether or not the brake pedal is de-
pressed. Have the brakes checked as soon
as possible if the warning sound is heard.Your vehicle has two types of security sys-
tems:
cNissan Vehicle Immobilizer System±
NVIS (if so equipped)
cVehicle security system (if so equipped)
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM (NVIS) (if so equipped)
The Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
(NVIS) will not allow the engine to start
without the use of a registered NVIS key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered
NVIS key (for example, when interference iscaused by another NVIS key, an automated
toll road device or automated payment de-
vice on the key ring), restart the engine
using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or
LOCK position, and wait approximately 5
seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the de-
vice (which may have caused the inter-
ference) separate from the registered
NVIS key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, Nissan
recommends placing the registered NVIS
key on a separate key ring to avoid interfer-
ence from other devices.

Security indicator light (Vehicle se-
curity system)
The security indicator light is located on the
instrument panel near the windshield.
The security indicator light shows the status
of the vehicle security system.
The light operates whenever the ignition
switch is in the LOCK, OFF, or ACC posi-
tion.
The vehicle security system has four
phases. For each phase the operation of the
security indicator light is different.

system
1. Close all windows.(The system can be
armed even if the windows are open).
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close the hood, trunk lid and all doors.
Lock all doors. The doors can be locked
with the key or with the keyfob.

cPush the LOCK button on the keyfob.
All doors lock. The hazard lights flash
twice and the horn beeps once to
indicate all doors are locked.
cWhen the LOCK button is pushed with
all doors locked, the hazard lights
flash twice and the horn beeps once
as a reminder that the doors are al-
ready locked.

matically shifts into the armed phase. The
SECURITY light begins to flash once ev-
ery three seconds. If, during the 30-
second pre-arm time period, the door is
unlocked by the key or the keyfob, or the
ignition key is turned to ACC or ON, the
system will not arm.
cIf the key is turned slowly when lock-
ing the door, the system may not arm.
Furthermore, if the key is turned ex-
cessively to the unlock position, the
system may be disarmed when the key
is removed. If the indicator light fails to
glow for 30 seconds, unlock the door
once and lock it again.
cEven when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
arm with all doors, hood and trunk lid
closed and locked with the ignition
key in the OFF position.

unlocking a door or trunk lid with the key,
or by pressing the UNLOCK button on
the keyfob.
The alarm is activated by:
copening the door or trunk lid without
using the key or keyfob (even if the door
is unlocked by releasing the door inside
