Light reminder chime

With the ignition switch placed in the OFF posi-
tion, a chime sounds when the driver’s door is
opened if the headlights or parking lights are on.

Turn the headlight control switch off before leav-
ing the vehicle.

NISSAN Intelligent Key™ buzzer (if so
equipped)

The Intelligent Key buzzer sounds if any one of the
following improper operations is found.

● The ignition switch is not returned to the

LOCK position when closing the doors.

● The Intelligent Key is left inside the vehicle

when locking the doors.

● The Intelligent Key is taken outside the ve-

hicle when operating the vehicle.

When the buzzer sounds, be sure to check both
the vehicle and the Intelligent Key. See “NISSAN
Intelligent Key™” in the “Pre-driving checks and
adjustments” section.

Your vehicle has two types of security systems:

● Vehicle security system
● NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the doors
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 and the glass hatch. (The

system can be armed even if the win-
dows are open. However, the glass
hatch must be closed.)

2. Place the ignition switch in the LOCK posi-

tion and remove the key.
