Security systems
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 lift gate 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.
Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a brief period. Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and always lock it 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 GUID-7CAA9A5F-E69A-457E-AC80-696BDC017C66 1. Close all windows.
The system can be armed even if the windows are open. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position and remove the key if it is inserted.
3. Close all doors. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with:
- the lock button on the keyfob or
Intelligent Key (if so equipped)
- any request switch (Intelligent Key equipped model)
- the power door lock switch
- the key — master or mechanical (Intelligent Key equipped model) 4. Confirm that
the security indicator light illuminates. 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 turned to the ACC or ON position, the system will not arm.
Even when the driver and/or passengers are in the vehicle, the system will activate with all doors locked with the ignition switch in the LOCK position. When turning the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position, the system will be released.
Vehicle security system activation GUID-E0994200-F9B0-476C-AF5D-4AFA2F5FF981
The vehicle security system will give the following alarm:
- The headlights blink and the horn sounds intermittently.
- The alarm automatically turns off after approximately 50 seconds. However, the alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm is activated by:
- Unlocking the door without using the keyfob, the Intelligent Key (if so equipped)
the request switch (if so equipped) or the key.
(Even if the door is opened by releasing the door inside lock knob, the alarm will activate.)
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm will stop by unlocking a door by pushing the unlock button on the keyfob or Intelligent Key, pushing the request switch or using the key. The alarm will not stop if the ignition switch is turned to the ACC or ON position.
If the system does not operate as described above, have it checked by a NISSAN dealer.
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 the registered key, it may be due to interference
caused by another registered key, an automated toll road device or automated payment
device on the key ring. Restart the engine using the following procedures:
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 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the interference) separate from the registered key.
If this procedure allows the engine to start, NISSAN recommends placing the registered key on a separate key ring to avoid interference from other devices.

Security indicator light
The security indicator light is located on the meter panel. It indicates the status of the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System.
The light blinks after the ignition switch was in the LOCK position. This function indicates the security systems equipped on the vehicle are operational.
If the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System is malfunctioning, this light will remain on while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
If the light still remains on and/or the engine will not start, see a NISSAN dealer for NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System service as soon as possible. Please bring all registered keys that you have when visiting a NISSAN dealer for service.
