The light will blink on for a few seconds after the
VDC system stops limiting wheel spin.
The slip indicator light also comes on when you
turn the ignition switch to ON. The light will turn
off after about 2 seconds if the system is
operational. If the light does not come on or go
off, have the traction control system checked by
a NISSAN dealer.
Turn signal/hazard indicator

The light flashes when the turn signal switch
lever or hazard switch is turned on.
Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) off indicator light (if so
equipped)
After turning the ignition switch to the ON
position, the light will illuminate. The light will turn
off in about 2 seconds if the vehicle dynamic
control (VDC) system is operational.
The light comes on when the vehicle dynamic
control (VDC) off switch is pushed to OFF. This
indicates the vehicle dynamic control system
and traction control system are not operating.
When the vehicle dynamic control off indicator
light and slip indicator light come on with the
vehicle dynamic control system turned on, this
light alerts the driver to the fact that the vehicledynamic control system’s fail-safe mode is op-
erating, that is the system may not be functioning
properly. Have the system checked by a
NISSAN dealer. If a malfunction occurs in the
system, the vehicle dynamic control system
function will be canceled but the vehicle is still
driveable. For additional information, see “Ve-
hicle dynamic control (VDC) system” in the “5.
Starting and driving” section of this manual.

Your vehicle has one or both types of security
systems, as follows:

Vehicle Security System (if so equipped)

NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light in the meter panel.VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (if so
equipped)The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the
doors when the system is armed. It is not,
however, a motion detection type system thatactivates when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior
or exterior vehicle components in all situations.
Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle,
and always lock the vehicle when unattended.
Be aware of your surroundings, and park in
secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification markers,
and tracking systems, are available at auto sup-
ply stores and specialty shops. A NISSAN dealer
may also offer such equipment. Check with your
insurance company to see if you may be eligible
for discounts for various theft protection fea-
tures.
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audio alarm signals if parts of the vehicle are
disturbed.
How to activate the vehicle security
system1. Close all windows.
The system can be activated even if the
windows are open.
2.•Remove the key from the ignition switch.
•Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position or remove the mechanical key
from the ignition switch (Intelligent Key
equipped model)
3. Close and lock all doors.
Lock all doors by pushing the LOCK button

the defroster off.
It will automatically turn off in approximately 15
minutes.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inner side of the rear
window, be careful not to scratch or
damage the rear window defroster.
XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so
equipped)
WARNINGHIGH VOLTAGE

When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to
modify or disassemble. Always have
your xenon headlights replaced at a
NISSAN dealer.

Xenon headlights provide consider-
ably more light than conventional
headlights. If they are not correctly
aimed, they might temporarily blind
an oncoming driver or the driver
ahead of you and cause a serious
accident. If headlights are not aimed
correctly, immediately take your ve-
hicle to a NISSAN dealer and have
the headlights adjusted correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize.
The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off operation.
It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (for
example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal). Even when the daytime
running lights are active (Canada only),
the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon headlights
is not reduced.

If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start blink-
ing, or the color of the light will become
reddish. If one or more of the above
signs appear, contact a NISSAN dealer.

The Intelligent Key uses coded radio signals to
communicate with the vehicle. When the Intelli-
gent Key is near the vehicle, such as when
standing near the vehicle with the Intelligent Key
in your pocket or purse, it allows the vehicle to
be locked or unlocked. And, when you are inside
the vehicle while carrying the Intelligent Key with
you, it allows the engine to be started without
inserting the key to the ignition switch. It is also
possible to use the remote keyless entry func-
tion.
CAUTION

Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key
with you.

Do not leave the vehicle with the
Intelligent Key inside.

The Intelligent Key may not function
correctly depending on the environment
or operating conditions. It could also
malfunction if you do not use it cor-
rectly.

The Intelligent Key transmits faint radio
waves.
In the following situations, the Intelli-
gent Key and remote keyless entry func-tions may not operate correctly, and you
may have to use the metal key (me-
chanical key or valet key):
•when there are strong signals com-
ing from a television tower, power
station or broadcasting station.
•when you have wireless equipment
or a cellular phone with you.
•when the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by a metallic mate-
rial.
•when radio wave-type remote control
entry is used nearby.
•when the Intelligent Key is placed
near an electric appliance such as a
personal computer.

The Intelligent Key continually con-
sumes battery power as the key receives
a signal to communicate with the ve-
hicle. Battery life of the Intelligent Key is
about 2 years, although it varies de-
pending on the operating conditions.
When the battery of the Intelligent Key
is low, the green blinking key warning
light goes out about 30 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned to ON. If the
battery runs down, replace it with a new
one.
If the Intelligent Key receives strong
signal over an extended period of time,
the battery of the Intelligent Key could
quickly run down. Do not place the In-
telligent Key near an electric appliance
such as a television set or personal
computer.

Because the ignition switch is electroni-
cally controlled, if the vehicle battery is
completely discharged when the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK position, the
steering lock cannot be released or the
ignition switch cannot be turned (not by
the mechanical key either).

In case the vehicle battery is completely
discharged, make sure to recharge the
vehicle battery immediately.INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (if so
