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 switch to the LOCK position from the ACC or

ON position, place the ignition switch in the OFF

position, push the key in, then place the ignition

switch in LOCK position.

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.
