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 SYSTEM
The 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.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows. The system can be armed even if the
windows are open.
2. Push the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK position.
3. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.
4. Close all doors, hood and trunk. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with the
Intelligent Key, door handle request switch
or power door lock switch. The power door
lock switch should be operated while the
door is open, and then closed.

5. Confirm that the security indicator lightcomes on. The security indicator light stays
on for about 30 seconds. The vehicle
security system is now pre-armed. After
about 30 seconds the vehicle security
system automatically shifts into the armed
phase. The security light begins to flash
once every approximately 3 seconds. If,
during this 30-second pre-arm time period,
the door is unlocked, or the ignition switch is
pushed to ACC or ON, the system will not
arm.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors, hood, and trunk lid locked
with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position. When pushing the ignition switch
to the ACC or ON position, the system will
be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the follow-
ing alarm:
. The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.
. The alarm automatically turns off after
approximately 1 minute. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm is activated by:
.
Opening the door or the trunk lid without
using the button on the Intelligent Key, the
door handle request switch or the mechan-
ical key. (Even if the door is opened by
releasing the door inside lock knob, the
alarm will activate.)
. Opening the hood.
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm will stop by:
.Unlocking a door by pushing the UNLOCK
button on the Intelligent Key.
. Unlocking a door by pushing the door
handle request switch.
. Pushing the ignition switch to the ACC or
ON position.
If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, have it checked by a GT-R
certified NISSAN dealer.

lb (1 kg) on the hook.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
.Make sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc. inside the vehicle
while it is in motion and before
closing the windows. Use the win-
dow lock switch to prevent unex-
pected use of the power windows.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols and become trapped in the
window. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents.
The power windows operate when the ignition
switch is in the ON position or for about 45
seconds after the ignition switch is pushed to
the LOCK position. If the driver’s or front
passenger’s door is opened during this period
of about 45 seconds, power to the windows is
canceled.

HomeLink®Universal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver:
. Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is dis-
connected, HomeLink
®will retain all pro-
gramming.
Once HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver is
programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures
(Example: new vehicle purchases) . Upon
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
