NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM (NVIS)
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 is caused by
another NVIS key, an automated toll road device
or automatic payment device on the key ring) ,
restart the engine using the following proce-
dures:
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 5 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered NVIS key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN rec-
ommends placing the registered NVIS key on a
separate key ring to avoid interference from other
devices.Statement related to Section 15 of FCC
