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 rear hatch/
trunk 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 com-
ponents 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
unattended. Be aware of your surround-
ings, 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 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.

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 position.
3. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.
4. Close all doors, hood and rear hatch/ trunk. Lock all doors and trunk (Road-
ster models). The doors can be locked
with the Intelligent Key, door handle
request switch, power door lock
switch or mechanical key. 5. Confirm that the security indicator
light comes 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 automati-
cally 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 passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
activate with all doors, hood and rear
hatch locked with the ignition switch in
the LOCK position. When pushing the
ignition switch to the ACC or ON posi-
tion, the system will be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
. The headlights blink and the horn
sounds intermittently.
. The alarm automatically turns off
after approximately 1 minute. How-
ever, the alarm reactivates if the
vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm is activated by: .
Unlocking the door or opening the
rear hatch without using the button
on the Intelligent Key, the door handle
request switch or the mechanical key.
(Even if the door is opened by releas-
ing 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, the door handle request
switch or using the mechanical key. The
alarm will not stop if the ignition switch is
pushed to the ACC or ON position.
If the system does not operate as
described above, it is recommended
you have it checked by a NISSAN dealer.

XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
. When xenon headlights are on,
they produce a high voltage. To
prevent an electric shock, never
attempt to modify or disassem-
ble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced by a certified
service technician.
. Xenon headlights provide consid-
erably more light than conven-
tional headlights. If they are not
correctly aimed, they might tem-
porarily blind an oncoming driver
or the driver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. If head-
lights are not aimed correctly, it is
recommended you immediately
take your vehicle to a NISSAN
dealer and have the headlights
adjusted correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially
turned on, its brightness or color varies
slightly. However, the color and bright-
ness will soon stabilize. .
The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off opera-
tion. It is generally desirable not to
turn off the headlights for short
intervals (for example, when the
vehicle stops at a traffic signal).
. If the xenon headlight bulb is close
to burning out, the brightness will
drastically decrease, the light will
start blinking, or the color of the
light will become reddish. If one or
more of the above signs appear, it is
recommended you visit a NISSAN
dealer.
