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.

● Make sure the area around the vehicle is

clear.

● Check fluid levels such as engine oil, cool-

ant, brake and clutch fluid, and window

washer fluid as frequently as possible, or at

least whenever you refuel.

● Check that all windows and lights are clean.
● Visually inspect tires for their appearance

and condition. Also check tires for proper

inflation.

● Lock all doors.

do likewise.

● Check the operation of warning lights when

the key is turned to the ON (3) position. See

minders” in the “Instruments and controls”
