Your vehicle may have two types of security sys-

tems:

● Vehicle security system
● 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

or trunk lid 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 cannot

prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior or

exterior vehicle components in all situations. Al-

ways secure your vehicle even if parking for a

brief period. Never leave your keys in the ignition,

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 protection, such

as component locks, identification markers, and

tracking systems, are available at auto supply

stores and specialty 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 intelligent key from the vehicle.
3. Close all doors, hood and trunk. Lock all

doors. The doors can be locked with the

intelligent key, door handle request switch,

power door lock switch or mechanical key.
For vehicles with navigation system, see

ЉVehicle electronic systemsЉ in the ЉDisplay

screen, heater, air conditioner and audio

systems

Љ section later in this manual. For

vehicles without navigation system, see

ЉSi-

lencing the horn beep feature

Љ in the ЉPre-

driving checks and adjustments

Љ section

later in this manual.

4. Confirm that the security indicator light

comes on. The security light stays on for

about 30 seconds. The vehicle security sys-

tem is now pre-armed. After about 30 sec-

onds the vehicle security system automati-

cally shifts into the armed phase. The

security light begins to flash once every 3

seconds. If, during the 30-second pre-arm

time period, the driver’s door is unlocked by

the key or the keyfob, or the ignition switch is

pushed to ACC or ON, the system will not

arm.

Even when the driver and/or passen-

gers are in the vehicle, the system will

activate with all the doors, hood and

trunk lid locked with the ignition

switch in the LOCK position. When

pushing the ignition switch to the ACC

or ON position, the system will be re-

leased.
