MANUAL TRANSMISSION (if so

equipped)

The ignition switch includes a device that helps

prevent accidental removal of the key while driv-

ing.
The key can only be removed when the ignition

switch is in the LOCK position.
On manual transmission models, to turn the igni-

tion key to LOCK position from ACC or ON

position, turn the key to OFF, push the key in, then

turn the key to LOCK.

In order for the steering wheel to be locked, it

must be turned about 1/8 of a turn clockwise

from the straight up position.
To lock the steering wheel, turn the key to

the LOCK position. Remove the key. To

unlock the steering wheel, insert the key

and turn it gently while rotating the steer-

ing wheel slightly right and left.

KEY POSITIONS

LOCK: Normal parking position (0)
OFF: (Not used) (1)
ACC: (Accessories) (2)
This position activates electrical accessories

such as the radio when the engine is not running.
ON: Normal operating position (3)
This position turns on the ignition system and the

electrical accessories.
START: (4)
This position starts the engine. As soon as the

engine has started, release the key. It automati-

cally returns to the ON position.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER

SYSTEM (if so equipped)

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 automated toll road

device or automatic payment device on the key

ring), restart the engine using the following pro-

cedures:

1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position

for approximately 5 seconds.

2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK

position, and wait approximately 10 sec-

onds.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device

(which may have caused the interference)

separate from the registered key.

If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN rec-

ommends placing the registered key on a sepa-

rate key ring to avoid interference from other

devices.
