section.
CAUTION
Running the engine with the oil pres-
sure warning light on could cause seri-
ous damage to the engine almost imme-
diately. Turn off the engine as soon as it
is safe to do so.
4WD warning light (4WD
models)
The 4WD warning light comes on when the key
switch is turned to ON. It turns off soon after the
engine is started.
If the 4WD system malfunctions or the revolu-
tion, or radius of the front and the rear wheel
differs, the warning light will either remain illumi-
nated or blink. See “Using four-wheel drive
(4WD)” in the “5. Starting and driving” section.
CAUTION

If the warning light comes on while
driving, 4WD mode will change to
2WD mode. Reduce the vehicle speed
and have your vehicle checked by a
NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.

Do not drive on dry hard surface
roads in the LOCK mode.

If the 4WD warning light blinks when
you are driving:
•blinks rapidly (about twice a sec-
ond):
Pull off the road in a safe area, and
idle the engine. The driving mode
will change to 2WD to prevent the
4WD system from malfunctioning.
If the warning light turns off, you
can drive again.
•blinks slowly (about once every 2
seconds):
Pull off the road in a safe area, and
idle the engine. Check that all tire

4. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light
A
comes on. The SECURITY indicator light
glows for about 30 seconds and then blinks.
The system is now activated. If, during this 30
second 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
activate.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors, hood and back door locked
and ignition key off. Turn the ignition key
to ACC to turn the system off.
Vehicle security system activationThe security system will give the following alarm:

scribed above, have it checked by a
NISSAN dealer.NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEMThe NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered key.
If the engine does not start using the registered
key (for example, when interference is caused by
another registered key, an automated toll road
device or automated payment device on the key
ring), restart the engine 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 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 key.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
NISSAN recommends placing the registered
key on a separate key ring to avoid interfer-
ence from other devices.
This device complies with RSS-210 of In-
dustry Canada. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions;
(1) This device may not cause harmful in-
terference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including inter-
ference that may cause undesired opera-
tion of the device.
CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EX-
PRESSLY APPROVED BY THE PARTY RE-
SPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE COULD

ATE THE EQUIPMENT.

Radio receptionRadio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external in-
fluences. Intermittent changes in reception qual-
ity normally are caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the ve-
hicle may influence radio reception quality.
Your radio system is equipped with state-of-the-
art electronic circuits to enhance radio recep-
tion. These circuits are designed to extend re-
ception range, and to enhance the quality of that
reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of FM and AM radio signals that can affect radio
reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when
the finest equipment is used. These character-
istics are completely normal in a given reception
area, and do not indicate any malfunction in your
radio system.
Remember that a moving vehicle is not the ideal
place to listen to a radio. Because of the move-ment, reception conditions will constantly
change. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and
interference from other vehicles can work
against ideal reception. Described below are
some of the factors that can affect your radio
reception.
FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 40 to 48
km (25 to 30 miles), with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the FM
station is within 40 km (25 miles). The strength
of the FM signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM signals
follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of the
same characteristics as light. For example they
will reflect off objects.
