comes on, have the system checked. It is
recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
Engine hot Power reduced (if so
equipped)
This engine has a high fluid temperature
protection mode. If the fluid temperature
becomes too high (for example, climbing
steep grades in high temperatures with
heavy loads, such as when towing a trailer),
engine power and, under some conditions,
vehicle speed will be decreased automati-
cally to reduce the chance of engine dam-
age. Vehicle speed can be controlled with
the accelerator pedal, but the engine and
vehicle speed may be reduced.

Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
• The headlights blink and the horn soundsintermittently.
• The alarm automatically turns off af ter a period of time. However, the alarm reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by un-
locking the driver's door or trunk lid with
the key, or by pressing the
button on
the Intelligent Key.
The alarm is activated by:
• opening the door or trunk lid without us- ing the key or Intelligent Key (even if the
door is unlocked by releasing the door
inside lock switch).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking a door
or the trunk with the mechanical key (if so
equipped), pressing the
button on the
Intelligent Key, or pushing the request
switch (if so equipped) on the driver's or

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 posi- tion 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 de- vice (which may have caused the inter-
ference) separate from the registered
key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN
recommends placing the registered key on
a separate key ring to avoid interference
from other devices.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle. FCC Notice:

Autolight system
The autolight system allows the headlights
to turn on and off automatically. The auto-
light system can:
• Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail,license plate and instrument panel lights
automatically when it is dark.
• Turn off all the lights when it is light.
• Keep all the lights on for a period of time af ter you place the ignition switch in the
OFF position and all doors are closed.
NOTE:
Autolight activation sensitivity and
the time delay for autolight shutoff
can be adjusted. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Vehicle information
display ” in this section.
To turn on the autolight system:
1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO position
O1.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. The autolight system automatically turns the headlights on and off.
Initially, if the ignition switch is placed in the
OFF position and a door is opened and lef t
open, the headlights remain on for a period
of time. If another door is opened while the
headlights are on, then the timer is reset.
To turn the autolight system off, turn the
switch to the OFF,
,orposition. Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the autolight sensor located in the top
side
O1of the instrument panel. The au-
tolight sensor controls the autolight; if it
is covered, the autolight sensor reacts as
if it is dark out and the headlights will
illuminate. If this occurs while parked
with the engine off and the ignition
switch placed in the ON position, your
vehicle's battery could become dis-
charged.

The front seats are warmed by built-in
heaters.
1. Start the engine.
2. To turn on, push the switch one time forthe LO position and one indicator light
will illuminate or twice for the HI position
and both indicators will illuminate.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat,
automatically turning the heater on and

long as the switch is on.
3. When the seat is warmed or before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the
switch off. 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).
Push the heated steering wheel switch to
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. Push the switch 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
switch is turned on, the system will not
heat the steering wheel. This is not a
malfunction.
