NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM

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-
cedure:

1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position

for approximately 5 seconds.

2. Place the ignition switch in 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 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.
● Position seat and adjust head restraints.
● Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
● Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to

do likewise.

● Check the operation of warning lights when

the key is turned to the ON (3) position. See
“Warning/indicator lights and audible re-
minders” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.
