JVI1587X

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

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), door handle request switch
(if so equipped), power door lock
switch, or mechanical key.

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), mechanical
key, or door request switch.

.

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:

Instruments and controls

2-37

2-38

Instruments and controls

. 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).

How to stop an activated alarm

The alarm stops only by unlocking a door
or the liftgate with the mechanical key,
pressing 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.

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.
