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 (if so equipped)
and 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
SECURITY SYSTEMS

cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
theft of interior or exterior vehicle com-
ponents in all situations. Always secure
your vehicle even if parking for a brief
period. Never leave your keys in the
vehicle, and always lock it when unat-
tended. Be aware of your surroundings,
and park in secure, well-lit areas when-
ever possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and speci-
alty 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.
