pre-armed. The vehicle security sys-
tem will automatically shift 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 keyfob (if so equipped), the Intelligent
Key (if so equipped), mechanical
key, or door request switch.
.Ignition switch is placed in the ONposition.
Even when the driver and/or passen-
gers are in the vehicle, the system will
activate with all the doors, hood (if so
equipped) and liftgate locked with the
ignition switch placed in the LOCK posi-
tion. When placing the ignition switch in
the 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.
. The alarm automatically turns off
after approximately 50 seconds. How-
ever, the alarm reactivates if the
vehicle is tampered with again. The alarm is activated by:
.
opening any doors, the hood (if so
equipped) or liftgate without using the
key or 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 unlocking a door
or the liftgate with the mechanical key,
pressing the UNLOCK
button on the
key fob (if so equipped) or the Intelligent
Key (if so equipped), or pushing the
request switch (if so equipped) on the

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYS-
TEM
The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the
registered key, it may be due to inter-
ference caused by another registered key,
an automated toll road device or auto-
mated payment device on the key ring.
Restart the engine using the following
procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON
position for approximately 5 seconds. 2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or
LOCK position and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the
interference) separate from the regis-
tered key.
If this procedure allows the engine to
start, NISSAN recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring
to avoid interference from other de-
vices.

The vehicle should be driven with the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (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
depressed to the floor. If maximum en-
gine 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 will
illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. (See

mately 10 minutes before the vehicle
is started. When the vehicle is started
and the system is activated, a visual
message appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display. For additional infor-
mation, see “43. Rear Door Alert is
activated” (P.2-36).
. If a rear door is opened and closed but
the vehicle is not started within ap-
proximately 10 minutes, the system
will not be activated. A rear door must
be opened and closed and the vehicle
is started within 10 minutes for the
system to activate.

so equipped) REAR DOOR ALERT

.When the driver puts the vehicle in the
P (Park) position, a message appears
in the vehicle information display for
the driver to “Dismiss Message” or
“Disable Alert” if desired.
. With the system enabled, when the
driver exits the vehicle, an audible alert
(horn sound) will occur 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 system is activated but the
liftgate is opened before opening a
rear door, the horn will be delayed
until after the liftgate is closed.
. If the audible horn alert occurs, a
message will also appear in the vehi-
cle information display that states,
“Check Back Seat for all articles”. For
additional information, see “44. Check
Back Seat For all articles” (P.2-36).
WARNING
.If the driver selects “Disable
Alert”, no audible alert will be
provided regardless 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, this may
occur if the engine is turned off
and then on again in a short
period of time during a trip, or 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, indicating
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
passengers in the rear seat(s).
