TRAFFIC SIGN RECOGNITION (if so
equipped)
The Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) system
provides the driver with information
about the most recently detected speed
limit. The system captures the road sign
information with the multi-sensing front
camera unit
located on the windshield
in front of the inside rearview mirror and
displays the detected signs in the vehicle
information display. For vehicles
equipped with Navigation System, the
speed limit displayed is based on a
combination of Navigation System data
and live camera recognition. TSR informa-
tion is always displayed at the top of the vehicle information display, and option-
ally in the main central area of the display
screen.
WARNING
The TSR system is only intended to
be a support device to provide the
driver with information. It is not a
replacement for the driver’s atten-
tion to traffic conditions or respon-
sibility to drive safely. It cannot
prevent accidents due to careless-
ness. It is the driver’s responsibility
to stay alert and drive safely at all
times.

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 (if so equipped)
and liftgate 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

2-46Instruments and controls
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 keys in the
vehicle, and always lock it when unat-
tended. Be aware of your surroundings,
and park in secure, well-lit areas when-
ever 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. Remove the keys from the vehicle.
3. Close all doors, hood (if so equipped) and liftgate. Lock all doors. The doors
can be locked with the key fob (if so
equipped), Intelligent Key (if so
equipped), the request switch (if so
equipped), or power door lock switch.
4. Confirm that the security indicator light stays on for about 30 seconds.
The vehicle security system is now
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 key
fob (if so equipped), the Intelligent
Key (if so equipped), or the request
switch (if so equipped).
.Ignition switch is placed in the ON
position.
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 or using the mechan-
ical key).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking a door
or the liftgate by pushing 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 driver’s or passenger’s
door in range of the door handle.
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 key fob (if so
equipped) or the Intelligent Key (if so
equipped), or pushing the request switch
(if so equipped) on the driver’s or passen-
ger’s door in range of the door handle. In
such a case, unlock the driver’s door
using the mechanical key and touch the
ignition switch with the Intelligent Key to
stop the alarm. (See “Intelligent Key bat-
tery discharge” (P.5-17).)
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.
