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 lif tgate. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with
the Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch, or mechanical key (if so
equipped).
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 mechani- cal key (if so equipped), 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
lif tgate 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 hazard lights blink (for non I-key vehicle) or the headlights (for I-key ve-
hicle) blink and the horn sounds inter-
mittently.
∙ The alarm automatically turns off af ter a period of time. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered
with again. The alarm can be shut off by
unlocking the driver’s door by pressing
the
button on the key fob or plac-
ing the ignition switch in the ON or ACC
position. The alarm is activated by:
∙ opening a door without using the key fob (even if the door is unlocked by us-
ing the inside lock knob or the power
door lock switch).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking a door
or the lif tgate with the mechanical key (if so
equipped), pressing the
button on
the Intelligent Key, or pushing the request
switch on the driver’s or passenger’s door
with the Intelligent Key in range of the door

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.
2-34Instruments and controls

2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF orLOCK 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.

to an accident. Warm the windshield
with the defroster before you wash the
windshield.
CAUTION
∙ Do not operate the washer continu-ously for more than 30 seconds.
∙ Do not operate the washer if the windshield-washer fluid reservoir is
empty.
∙ Do not fill the windshield-washer fluid reservoir with windshield-washer
fluid concentrates at full strength.

The heated steering wheel system is de-
signed to operate only when the surface
temperature of the steering wheel is below
68°F (20°C).
Press the CLIMATE button to access the
heated steering wheel key. Touch the
heated steering wheel key
1to warm the
steering wheel af ter the engine starts. The
indicator light will come on.
If the surface temperature of the steering
wheel is below 68°F (20°C), the system will
heat the steering wheel and cycle off and
on to maintain a temperature above 68°F
(20°C). The indicator light will remain on as
long as the system is on. Touch the key again to turn the heated
steering wheel system off manually. The
indicator light will go off.
NOTE:
If the surface temperature of the steer-
ing wheel is above 68°F (20°C) when the
key is touched, the system will not heat
the steering wheel. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
The vehicle should be driven with the VDC
system on for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The
indicator light and
the Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB)
system warning light will come on.

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY®
Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to
your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system com-
ponents and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System components.Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. The
new keys must be registered by a NISSAN
dealer prior to use with the Intelligent Key
system and NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer
System of your vehicle. Since the registra-
tion process requires erasing all memory in
the Intelligent Key components when reg-
istering new keys, be sure to take all Intelli-
gent Keys that you have to the NISSAN
dealer.A key number plate is supplied with your
keys. Record the key number and keep it in
a safe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. If you lose your keys, it is recom-
mended that you visit a NISSAN dealer for
duplicates by using the key number.
NISSAN does not record key numbers so it
is very important to keep track of your key
number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, it can
be duplicated without knowing the key
number.
