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.

The Rear Door Alert system functions un-
der certain conditions to indicate there
may be an object or passenger in the rear
seat(s). Check the seat(s) before exiting the
vehicle.
The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-
abled. The driver can enable the system
using the vehicle information display. For
additional information, refer to “Vehicle in-
formation display warnings and indicators”
in this section.
When the system is enabled:∙ The system is activated when a rear door is opened and closed within
10 minutes of the vehicle being driven.
When the driver door is closed and the
system is activated, a visual message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play. For additional information, refer to
“Rear Door Alert is activated” in this sec-
tion.
∙ If a rear door is opened and closed but the vehicle is not driven within approxi-
mately 10 minutes, the system will not
be activated. A rear door must be
opened and closed and the car driven
within 10 minutes for the system to ac-
tivate. When the Rear Door Alert system is acti-
vated:
∙ When the driver puts the vehicle in the P (Park) position, a notification message
appears in the vehicle information dis-
play with the options to “Dismiss Mes-
sage” or “Disable Alert” if desired.
∙ Select “Disable Alert” to temporarily disable for that stop.
∙ No selection or ‘Dismiss Message” will keep the alert enabled for that stop.
∙ If the alert is enabled when a driver exits the vehicle, a message will appear in the
vehicle information display that states
“Check Rear Seat for All Articles.”
If “Horn & Alert” setting is selected:
∙ An audible horn sound will occur af- ter a short time unless a rear door is
opened and closed within a short
time to deactivate the alert.
∙ If the doors are locked before the alert is deactivated by opening a rear
door, the horn will sound.
∙ If the trunk is opened before a rear door is opened, the horn will be de-
layed until af ter the trunk is closed. NOTE:
If “Alert Only ” setting is selected, the
message alert will still be shown in the
vehicle information display but the horn
will not sound.
WARNING
∙ If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no
audible alert will be provided regard-
less of rear door open/close status.
∙ There may be times when there is an object or passenger in the rear seat(s)
but the audible alert does not sound.
For example, if rear seat passengers
enter or exit the vehicle during a trip.
∙ The system does not directly detect objects or passengers in the rear
seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a
rear door is opened and closed, indi-
cating that there may be something in
the rear seat(s).
NOTE:
There may be times when the horn
sounds but there are no objects or pas-
sengers in the rear seat(s).
