NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (NVIS) The Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System (NVIS) will not allow the engine to start without the use of the registered NVIS key. If the engine fails to start using the registered NVIS key, it may be due to interference caused by another NVIS 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.


墌 04.5.17/Z33-D/V5.0 墍

쐌 The life of xenon headlights will be shortened by frequent on-off operation. It is generally desirable not to turn off the headlights for short intervals (for example, when the vehicle stops at a traffic signal). Even when the daytime running lights are active (Canada only), the xenon headlights do not turn on. This way the life of the xenon headlights is not reduced.


쐌 If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burning out, the brightness will drasti- cally decrease, the light will start blink- ing, or the color of the light will become reddish. If one or more of the above signs appear, contact a NISSAN dealer.


HEADLIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so equipped)


WARNING


HIGH VOLTAGE


쐌 When xenon headlights are on, they produce a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock, never attempt to modify or disassemble. Always have your xenon headlights replaced at a NISSAN dealer.


쐌 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, immediately take your ve- hicle to a NISSAN dealer and have the headlights adjusted correctly.


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

WARNING


쐌 Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by fed- eral safety standards. (These stan- dards became effective for opener models manufactured after April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot detect an object in the path of a closing garage door and then auto- matically stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety stan- dards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.


쐌 During programming, your garage door or gate may open or close. Make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or gate that you are programming.


쐌 Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink Universal Transceiver.

KEYS


DOORS


NISSAN does not record any key numbers so it is very important to keep track of your key number plate. A key number is only necessary when you have lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate from. If you still have a key, this key can be duplicated by your NISSAN dealer. Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System (NVIS) KEY - Master and Valet keys: As many as 5 keys can be used with one vehicle. New keys must be registered to the NVIS com- ponents in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer. At this time, you should bring all NVIS keys that you have to your NISSAN dealer for registration. This is because the registration process will erase all memory of the NVIS components.


CAUTION


Do not allow the NVIS key, which con- tains an electrical transponder, to come in contact with salt water. This could cause the system to malfunction.


WARNING


쐌 Always have the doors locked while driving. Along with the use of seat belts, this provides greater safety in the event of an accident by helping to prevent persons from being thrown from the vehicle. This also helps keep children and others from uninten- tionally opening the doors, and will help keep out intruders.


쐌 Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic. 쐌 Do not leave children unattended in- side the vehicle. They could unknow- ingly activate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.
