Your vehicle has two types of security systems,
as follows:
. Vehicle security system
. NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light.VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEMThe vehicle security system provides visual and
audio alarm signals if someone opens the doors,
hood, or trunk lid when the system is armed. It is
not, however, a motion detection type system
that activates 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 Intelligent Key(s)
in the vehicle, and always lock it when un-
attended. 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
supply stores and specialty shops. Your GT-R
certified 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 features.
