If you have a flat tire, replace it
with a spare tire (if so equipped)
or repair it with the tire puncture
repair kit (if so equipped) as soon
as possible. If no tire is flat and all
tires are properly inflated, it is
recommended you consult a
NISSAN dealer.
. Since the spare tire is not
equipped with the TPMS, when a
spare tire is mounted or a wheel
is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for ap-
proximately 1 minute. The light
will remain on after the 1 minute.
Have your tires replaced and/or
TPMS system reset as soon as
possible. It is recommended you
visit a NISSAN dealer for these
services.
. Replacing tires with those not
originally specified by NISSAN
could affect the proper operation
of the TPMS.
CAUTION
.The TPMS is not a substitute for
the regular tire pressure check. Be sure to check the tire pressure
regularly.
. If the vehicle is being driven at
speeds of less than 16 MPH (25
km/h), the TPMS may not operate
correctly.
. Be sure to install the specified
size of tires to the four wheels
correctly.
Master warning light

. Check tire pressure warning
. Extended storage fuse warning
See “Vehicle information display” (P.2-19).
Seat belt warning light and
chime
The light and chime remind you to fasten
the driver and front passenger seat belts.
The light illuminates whenever the igni-
tion switch is placed in the ON position,
and will remain illuminated until the front
seat belts are fastened.
When the vehicle speed exceeds 10 MPH
(15 km/h), the light will blink unless the
front seat belts are securely fastened.
When the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position, the chime will sound for
about 6 seconds unless the driver’s seat
belt is securely fastened.
When the vehicle speed exceeds 10 MPH
(15 km/h), the chime will sound unless the
front seat belts are securely fastened. The
chime will continue to sound for about 90
seconds until the front seat belts are
fastened.
For additional information, refer to “Seat
belt warning light and chime” (P.1-12).
commended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, re-
duced fuel economy, and possible
damage to the emission control sys-
tem.
Rear fog light indicator light (if
so equipped)
The rear fog light indicator light illumi-
nates when the rear fog light is on. (See
“Fog light switch” (P.2-39).)
Security indicator light
The light blinks when the ignition switch
is in the ACC, OFF or LOCK position. This
function indicates the security system
equipped on the vehicle is operational.
If the security system is malfunctioning,
this light will remain on while the ignition
switch is in the ON position. For additional
information, see “Security systems” (P.2- 30).
Soft top indicator light (Road-
ster models)
This light illuminates when the soft top is
being operated or it is stopped before
reaching a full open/close state. When the
top is fully opened or closed, the light will
turn off.
The light blinks while the soft top is not
fully opened or closed under the following
conditions:
. When the vehicle is driven.
. When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
Be sure to fully open or close the soft top
when driving the vehicle.
The soft top can be moved with the soft
top operating switch only under all of the
following conditions:
. When the vehicle is stopped.
. When the ignition switch is ON.
. When the trunk is closed.
. When the shift lever is in a position
other than the R (Reverse) position.
CAUTION
Operate the soft top with the engine
running to prevent a discharged
battery.
When the soft top is operating, if any of
the above conditions are discontinued or
any of the following conditions are met,
the top will stop operating.
. When the shift lever is in the R
(Reverse) position.
. When the vehicle moves at a speed of
3 MPH (5 km/h) or more.
. When the battery voltage is extremely
low.
. When the temperature of the soft top
system becomes extremely high.
Release the operating switch, and push it
again under the above conditions until
the top is fully opened or closed. The soft
top indicator light will turn off when the
top operation is completely finished.
If the soft top indicator light illuminates
with the ignition switch ON, it may
indicate the electric soft top control unit
is not functioning properly. Have your
vehicle checked as soon as possible. It is
recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.

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
SECURITY SYSTEMS
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 or power door lock
switch. 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:
Instruments and controls2-31
2-32Instruments and controls
.Unlocking the door or opening the
rear hatch without using the UNLOCK
button on the Intelligent Key or the
door handle request switch. (Even if
the door is opened by releasing the
door inside lock knob or using the
mechanical key, the alarm will acti-
vate.)
. 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 or the door handle request
switch. The alarm will not stop if the
ignition switch is pushed to the ACC or
ON position.
If the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged:
If the Intelligent Key battery is discharged,
the alarm will not stop by pushing the
UNLOCK button on the Intelligent Key or
the door handle request switch. In such a
case, insert the Intelligent Key into the
Intelligent Key port to stop the alarm. See
“Intelligent Key battery discharge” (P.5-10)
for details about the Intelligent Key port.
If the system does not operate as
described above, it is recommended
you have it checked by a NISSAN dealer.

Security indicator light
The security indicator light is located on
the meter panel. It indicates the status of
the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System.
The light blinks after the ignition switch is
in the LOCK, ACC or OFF position. This
function indicates the security systems
equipped on the vehicle are operational.
