Your vehicle has two types of security sys-
tems:∙ Vehicle security system
∙ NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audible alarm signals if someone
opens the doors, trunk, or hood when the
system is armed. It is not, however, a mo-
tion detection type system that activates
when a vehicle is moved or when a vibra-
tion occurs. 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.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.
(The system can be
armed even if the windows are open.)
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the ve- hicle. 3. Close all doors, hood and trunk. Lock all
doors. The doors can be locked with
the Intelligent Key or door handle re-
quest switch.
4. Confirm that the
security indica-
tor light stays on for about 30 seconds.
The vehicle security system is now pre-
armed. The vehicle security system will
automatically shif t into the armed
phase. The
security light begins
to flash once every three seconds. If
during the pre-armed phase one of the
following occurs, the system will not
arm:
∙ Any door is unlocked with the Intelligent Key or door request switch.
∙ Ignition switch is placed in ACC or ON position.
∙ Even when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
activate with all the doors, hood and
trunk lid locked with the ignition
switch placed in the LOCK position.
When placing the ignition switch in
the ACC or ON position, 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 but synchro-
nously.
∙ The alarm automatically turns off af ter a period of time. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered
with again.
The alarm is activated by: ∙ opening any door or hood without us- ing the Intelligent Key (even if the door is
unlocked by releasing the door inside
lock knob).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by pushing thebutton on the Intelligent Key, or pushing the
request switch on the driver’s or passen-
ger’s door with the Intelligent Key in range
of the door handle.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of a registered key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered
key (for example, when interference is
caused by another registered key, an auto-
mated toll road device or automatic pay-
ment device on the key ring), restart the
engine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON po- sition for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the in-
terference) separate from the regis-
tered key.
If the no start condition reoccurs, NISSAN
recommends placing the registered key on
a separate key ring to avoid interference
from other devices. Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
