2017 NISSAN ARMADA alarm

2-30Instruments and controls
SIC2133
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 liftgate 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
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.

SECURITY SYSTEMS

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 liftgate 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 50 seconds. However, the
alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tampered
with again.
The alarm is activated by:
. Unlocking the door or opening the liftgate
without using the button on the Intelligent
Key, the door handle request switch or the mechanical 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 when a door is unlocked by
pushing the unlock button on the Intelligent Key,
the door handle request switch or using the
mechanical key, or when the ignition switch is
pushed to the ACC or ON position.
If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, it is recommended you have
it checked by a NISSAN dealer.

SONAR SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations
for the sonar function. Failure to oper-
ate the vehicle in accordance with these
system limitations could result in ser-
ious injury or death.
.Inclement weather or ultrasonic
sources such as an automatic car
wash, a truck’ s compressed-air
brakes or a pneumatic drill may affect the function of the system,
including reduced performance or a
false activation.
. This function is designed as an aid
to the driver in detecting large
stationary objects to help avoid
damaging the vehicle.
. The system is not designed to pre-
vent contact with small or moving
objects.
. The system will not detect small
objects below the bumper, and may
not detect objects close to the
bumper or on the ground.
. The system may not detect the
following objects:
— Fluffy objects such as snow,
cloth, cotton, grass or wool.
— Thin objects such as rope, wire or chain.
— Wedge-shaped objects.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to
the bumper fascia, leaving it mis-
aligned or bent, the sensing zone
may be altered causing inaccurate
measurement of objects or false
alarms.
CAUTION
Excessive noise (such as audio system
volume or an open vehicle window) will
interfere with the tone and it may not be
heard.
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY UNAVAIL-
ABLE
When the amber markers are displayed at the
corners of the vehicle icon and the function
cannot be activated from the Camera setting
menu (the setting items are grayed out) , the

.The sonar system is a convenience
but it is not a substitute for proper
parking. Always look around and
check that it is safe to do so before
parking. Always move slowly.
. Read and understand the limita-
tions of the sonar system as con-
tained in this section. Inclement
weather may affect the function of
the sonar system; this may include
reduced performance or a false
activation. .
This system is not designed to
prevent contact with small or mov-
ing objects.
. The system is designed as an aid to
the driver in detecting large station-
ary objects to help avoid damaging
the vehicle. The system will not
detect small objects below the
bumper, and may not detect objects
that are too close to the bumper or
on the ground.
. If your vehicle sustains damage to
the bumper fascia, leaving it mis-
aligned or bent, the sensing zone may be altered causing inaccurate
measurement of obstacles or false
alarms.
CAUTION
Keep the interior of the vehicle as quiet
as possible to hear the tone clearly.
The sonar system sounds a tone to warn the
driver of obstacles near the bumper. When the
“Sonar Display” key is ON, the sonar indicator
will also appear in the center display. (See
“Sonar indicator” (P.5-134) .) The system de-
tects front obstacles when the shift lever is in the
D (Drive) position or N (Neutral) position. The
system detects both front and rear obstacles
when the shift lever is in the R (Reverse)
position.
The system may not detect objects at speeds
above 6 MPH (10 km/h) and may not detect
certain angular or moving objects.
The sonar system detects obstacles up to 3.9 ft
(1.2 m) from the bumper with a decreased
coverage area at the outer corners of the
bumper. Refer to the illustration for approximate
zone coverage areas. As you move closer to the
obstacle, the rate of the tone increases. When
