The system helps deter vehicle thef t but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
thef t of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your Intelligent Key in the ve-
hicle, and always lock the vehicle when un-
attended. Be aware of your surroundings,
and park in secure, well-lit areas whenever
possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and spe-
cialty shops. A NISSAN dealer may also offer
such equipment. Check with your insur-
ance company to see if you may be eligible
for discounts for various thef t protection
features.

cated below the driver side instrument
panel. The hood will spring up slightly.

to the side as illustrated with your fin-
gertips and raise the hood.

avoid injury do not open the hood.

∙ Do not drive with the trunk lid open.This could allow dangerous exhaust
gases to be drawn into the vehicle. For

haust gas (carbon monoxide)” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this
