Instruments and controls

Your vehicle has two types of security systems:

● Vehicle security system
● NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the
doors, trunk, liftgate or the hood 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. Al-

ways secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your Intelligent Key in
the vehicle, and always lock the vehicle 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. A 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. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.

3. Close all doors, hood and trunk/liftgate.

Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with
the Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch (if so equipped), or mechanical key.

4. Confirm that the

security indicator

light stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-armed.
The vehicle security system will automati-
cally shift into the armed phase. The
security light begins to flash once every

three seconds. If during the pre-armed
phase one of the following occurs, the sys-
tem will not arm:

● Any door is unlocked with the mechanical

key, the Intelligent Key or door request
switch (if so equipped).

● Ignition switch is placed in ACC or ON

position.

● Even when the driver and/or passen-

gers are in the vehicle, the system will
activate with all the doors, hood and
trunk lid locked with the ignition switch
placed in the LOCK position. When
placing the ignition switch in the ACC
or ON position, the system will be re-
leased.

Vehicle security system activation

The vehicle security system will give the following
alarm:

● The headlights blink and the horn sounds

intermittently but synchronously.

● The alarm automatically turns off after a pe-

riod of time. However, the alarm reactivates if
the vehicle is tampered with again.

SECURITY SYSTEMS

Instruments and controls

2-33

The alarm is activated by:

● opening any door or hood without using the

key or Intelligent Key (even if the door is
unlocked by releasing the door inside lock
knob).

How to stop an activated alarm

The alarm stops only by unlocking a door or the
trunk/liftgate with the mechanical key, pressing
the

button on the Intelligent Key, or press-

ing the request switch on the driver’s or passen-
ger’s door with the Intelligent Key in range of the
door handle.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM

The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of a
registered key.

Never leave these keys in the vehicle.

Autolight system

The autolight system allows the headlights to turn
on and off automatically. The autolight system
can:

● Turn on the headlights, front parking, tail,

license plate and instrument panel lights au-
tomatically when it is dark.

● Turn off all the lights (except daylight running

lights) when it is light.

● Keep all the lights on for a period of time after

you place the ignition switch in the OFF
position and all doors are closed.

NOTE:

Autolight activation sensitivity and the time
delay for autolight shutoff can be adjusted.
For additional information, refer to “Ve-
hicle information display” in this section.
To turn on the autolight system:

1. Turn the headlight switch to the AUTO posi-

tion

䊊

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

3. The autolight system automatically turns the

headlights on and off.

Initially, if the ignition switch is turned OFF and a
door is opened and left open, the headlights
remain ON for a period of time. If another door is
opened while the headlights are on, then the
timer is reset.

To turn the autolight system off, turn the switch to

the OFF,

Instruments and controls

Be sure you do not put anything on top of
the autolight sensor located in the top side

䊊

of the instrument panel. The autolight

sensor controls the autolight; if it is cov-
ered, the autolight sensor reacts as if it is
dark out and the headlights will illuminate.
If this occurs while parked with the engine
off and the ignition switch placed in the ON
position, your vehicle’s battery could be-
come discharged.

䊊

To select the high beam function, push the
lever forward while the low beams are on.
The high beam lights come on and the
indicator light illuminates.

䊊

Pull the lever back to return to the low beam.

Pulling and releasing the lever flashes the
headlight high beams on and off. The low
beams do not need to be on for this to
function.

Battery saver system

If the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position
while the headlight switch is in the
or

position, the headlights will turn off after

a period of time.

CAUTION

Even though the battery saver feature au-
tomatically turns off the headlights after a
period of time, you should turn the head-
light switch to the OFF position when the
engine is not running to avoid discharging
the vehicle battery.

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT SYSTEM

The daytime running lights automatically illumi-
nate when the engine is started with the parking
brake released. The daytime running lights oper-

The vehicle should be driven with the VDC sys-
tem on for most driving conditions.

If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor. If
maximum engine power is needed to free a stuck
vehicle, turn the VDC system off.

To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. The

indicator will come on.

Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this manual.
