SECURITY SYSTEMS
Your vehicle may have two types of security systems:
• Vehicle security system (if so equipped) • NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (if so equipped) The vehicle security system provides visual and audible alarm signals if someone opens the doors when the system is armed. It is not, however, a motion detection-type system that activates when a vehicle is moved or when a vibra- tion occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or exterior vehicle compo- nents in all situations. Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and always lock the vehicle when unattended. Be aware of your surroundings, 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 spe- cialty shops. A NISSAN dealer may also offer such equipment. Check with your insur- ance 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 Intelligent Key from the
vehicle. 3. Close all doors. Lock all doors. The doors
can be locked with the key, power door lock switch (if the door is opened, locked and then closed), or with the key fob.

Key fob operation: • Press the button on the key fob. All
doors lock. The hazard lights flash twice and the horn beeps once to indicate all doors are locked.
• When the button is pressed with all doors locked, the hazard lights flash twice and the horn beeps once as a reminder that the doors are already locked.
The horn may or may not beep. 4. Confirm that the indicator light
comes on. The indicator light stays on for about 30 seconds. The ve- hicle security system is now pre-armed. After about 30 seconds the vehicle se- curity system automatically shifts into the armed phase. The indicator light begins to flash once every 3 sec- onds. If, during the 30-second pre-arm time period, the driver's door is unlocked by the key or the key fob or the ignition switch is placed in ACC or ON position, the system will not arm.
If the key is turned slowly when locking the driver's door, the system may not arm. Furthermore, if the key is turned beyond the vertical position toward the unlock position the system may be disarmed when the key is removed. If the indicator light fails to glow for a period of time, unlock the door once and lock it again.
Even when the driver and/or passen- gers are in the vehicle, the system will arm with all doors closed and locked with the ignition switch placed in the OFF position.
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 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 with the key or by pressing the button on the key fob.
The alarm is activated by: • Opening a door without using the key or
key fob (even if the door is unlocked by using the inside lock knob or the power door lock switch).
How to stop an activated alarm The alarm stops only by unlocking the driv- er's door with the key or by pressing the
button on the key fob. 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 placed 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 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.
