PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH
WARNING
Do not operate the push-button igni- tion switch while driving the vehicle ex- cept in an emergency. (The engine will stop when the ignition switch is pushed three consecutive times in quick suc- cession or the ignition switch is pushed and held for more than 2 seconds.) If the engine stops while the vehicle is being driven, this could lead to a crash and serious injury.
When the ignition switch is pushed without depressing the brake pedal, the ignition switch position will illuminate as follows: Push center:
• Once to change to ACC. • Two times to change to ON. • Three times to return to OFF. The ignition switch will automatically re- turn to the LOCK position when any door is either opened or closed with the switch in the OFF position. When the ignition switch cannot be placed in the OFF position, proceed as follows:
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park) position.
2. Push the ignition switch. The ignition switch position will change to the ON position.
3. Push the ignition switch again to the OFF position.
The shift lever can be moved from the P (Park) position if the ignition switch is in the ON position and the brake pedal is depressed. If the battery of the vehicle is discharged, the ignition switch cannot be moved from the LOCK position.
Some indicators and warnings for opera- tion are displayed in the meter. For addi- tional information, see “Warning lights, indi- cator lights and audible reminders” (P. 2-10).
OPERATING RANGE
The Intelligent Key functions can only be used when the Intelligent Key is within the specified operating range. When the Intelligent Key battery is almost discharged or strong radio waves are pres- ent near the operating location, the Intelli- gent Key system’s operating range be- comes narrower and may not function properly.
If the Intelligent Key is within the operating range, it is possible for anyone, even some- one who does not carry the Intelligent Key, to push the ignition switch to start the engine. The operating range of the engine start function is inside of the vehicle O1 . • The luggage area is not included in the
operating range, but the Intelligent Key may function.
• If the Intelligent Key is placed on the in- strument panel or inside the glove box, storage bin or door pocket, the Intelligent Key may not function.
• If the Intelligent Key is placed near the door or window outside the vehicle, the Intelligent Key may function.
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH POSITIONS
LOCK (Normal parking position) The ignition switch can only be locked in this position. The ignition switch will be unlocked when it is pushed to the ON position while carrying the Intelligent Key.
Starting and driving
The ignition switch will lock when any door is opened or closed with the ignition switched off.
ACC (Accessories) This position activates electrical accesso- ries, such as the radio, when the engine is not running. ACC has a battery saver feature that will place the ignition switch in the OFF position after a period of time under the following conditions: • All doors are closed. • The shift lever is in P (Park). • The hazard lamps are off. • The turn signals are off. The battery saver feature will be canceled if any of the following occur: • Any door is opened. • The shift lever is moved out of the P (Park)
position. • The ignition switch changes position. • The hazard lamps are turned on.
ON (Normal operating position) This position turns on the ignition system and electrical accessories. ON has a battery saver feature that will place the ignition switch in the OFF posi- tion, if the vehicle is not running, after some time under the following conditions: • All doors are closed. • The shift lever is in P (Park). • The hazard lamps are off. • The turn signals are off. The battery saver feature will be canceled if any of the following occur: • Any door is opened. • The shift lever is moved out of the P (Park)
position. • The ignition switch changes position. • The hazard lamps are turned on. • The turn signals are turned on.
CAUTION Do not leave the vehicle with the igni- tion switch in the ACC or ON position when the engine is not running for an extended period. This can discharge the battery.
OFF The ignition switch is in the OFF position when the engine is turned off using the ignition switch. EMERGENCY ENGINE SHUT OFF To shut off the engine in an emergency situation while driving, perform the follow- ing procedure: • Rapidly push the ignition switch three
consecutive times in less than 1.5 sec- onds, or
• Push and hold the ignition switch for more than 2 seconds.
NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY® BATTERY DISCHARGE If the battery of the NISSAN Intelligent Key® is discharged, or environmental conditions interfere with the Intelligent Key operation, start the engine according to the following procedure: 1. Place the shift lever in the P (Park)
position. 2. Firmly apply the foot brake. 3. Touch the ignition switch with the Intel-
ligent Key as illustrated. (A chime will sound.)
After step 3 is performed, when the igni- tion switch is pushed without depress- ing the brake pedal, the ignition switch position will change to the ON position.
4. Push the ignition switch while depress- ing the brake pedal within 10 seconds after the chime sounds. The engine will start.
NOTE: • When the ignition switch is pushed to
the ON position or the engine is started by the above procedure, the Intelligent Key battery discharge indicator ap- pears in the vehicle information dis- play even when the Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. This is not a mal- function. To turn off the Intelligent Key battery discharge indicator, touch the ignition switch with the Intelligent Key again.
• If the Intelligent Key battery discharge indicator appears, replace the battery as soon as possible. For additional in- formation, see “Battery replacement” (P. 8-23).
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM 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 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 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 device (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.
