Your vehicle has two types of security systems,
as follows:
. Vehicle security system
. NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

The vehicle security system provides visual and
audio alarm signals if someone opens the doors
or liftgate 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

SECURITY SYSTEMS

prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior
or exterior vehicle components in all situations.
Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your Intelligent Key(s)
in the vehicle, and always lock it when un-
attended. 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. Push the ignition switch to the OFF position.

3. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.

4. Close all doors and liftgate. Lock all doors.

The doors can be locked with the Intelligent
Key, door handle request switch, power
door lock switch or mechanical key.

5. Confirm that the security indicator light

comes on. The security indicator light stays
on for about 30 seconds. The vehicle
security system is now pre-armed. After

about 30 seconds the vehicle security
system automatically shifts into the armed
phase. The security light begins to flash
once every approximately 3 seconds. If,
during this 30-second pre-arm time period,
the door is unlocked, or the ignition switch is
pushed to ACC or ON, the system will not
arm.

Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors and liftgate locked with the
ignition switch in the LOCK position. When
pushing the ignition switch to the ACC or
ON position, the system will be released.

Vehicle security system activation

The vehicle security system will give the follow-
ing alarm:
. The headlights blink and the horn sounds

intermittently.

. The alarm automatically turns off after

approximately 1 minute. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again.

The alarm is activated by:
. Unlocking the door or opening the liftgate

without using the button on the Intelligent
Key, the door handle request switch or the
mechanical key. (Even if the door is opened

XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so equipped)

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE

. When xenon headlights are on, they

produce a high voltage. To prevent
an electric shock, never attempt to
modify or disassemble. It is recom-
mended to have your xenon head-
lights replaced at a NISSAN dealer.

. Xenon headlights provide consider-

ably more light than conventional
headlights. If they are not correctly
aimed, they might temporarily blind
an oncoming driver or the driver
ahead of you and cause a serious
accident. If headlights are not aimed
correctly, it is recommended to take
your vehicle to a NISSAN dealer and
have the headlights adjusted cor-
rectly.

When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize.
. The life of xenon headlights will be

shortened by frequent on-off opera-

tion. It is generally desirable not to turn
off the headlights for short intervals
(for example, when the vehicle stops at
a traffic signal). This way the life of the
xenon headlights is not reduced.

. If the xenon headlight bulb is close to

burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start
blinking, or the color of the light will
become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer.

Headlight aiming control (if so equipped)

Depending on the number of occupants in the
vehicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight
axis may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is
traveling on a hilly road, the headlights may
directly hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle
ahead or the windshield of the oncoming
vehicle. The light axis can be lowered with the
operation of the switch.

The larger the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.

When traveling with no heavy load or on a flat
road, select position 0.

WARNING

Xenon headlights (if so equipped) are
extremely bright compared to conven-
tional headlights. If the xenon head-
lights hit the rearview mirror of the
vehicle ahead or the windshield of
oncoming vehicle, the driver of these
vehicles may have difficulty driving
because of the brightness. Use the
headlight aiming control switch to low-
er the light axis. See “Xenon head-
l i g h t s ”
