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 ve-
hicle security system automatically
shifts into the armed phase. The
indicator light begins to flash once ev-
ery 3 seconds. 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 lock-
ing the driver’s door, the system may
not arm. Furthermore, if the key is
turned beyond the vertical position
toward the unlock position the sys-
tem 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
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered
with again. The alarm can be shut off by
unlocking 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 (if so equipped)
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 po-
sition for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to 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 in-
terference) separate from the regis-
tered 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.
