Your vehicle has two types of security sys- tems, as follows: I Vehicle Security System I 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 parts of the vehicle are disturbed.

How to activate the vehicle security system 1. Close all windows. The system can be activated even if the windows are open. 2. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 3. Close and lock all doors, hood and trunk lid. Lock all doors by pressing the LOCK button on the keyfob. When using the keyfob, the hazard indicators flash twice to indicate all doors are locked.

4. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light

Z 02.7.12/A33-D/V5.0 X

2-14 Instruments and controls

comes on. The SECURITY indicator light glows for about 30 seconds and then blinks. The system is now activated. If, during this 30 second time period, the door is unlocked by the key or the keyfob, or the ignition key is turned to ACC or ON, the system will not activate.

I If the key is turned slowly toward the front of the vehicle when locking the door, the system may not activate. If the key is returned beyond the vertical po- sition toward the rear of the vehicle to remove the key, the system may be deactivated. If the indicator light fails to glow for 30 seconds, unlock the door once and lock it again.

I Even when the driver and/or passengers are in the vehicle, the system will acti- vate with all doors, hood and trunk lid locked and ignition key off. Turn the ignition key to ACC to turn the system off.

Vehicle security system operation The security system will give the following alarm: I The headlights blink and the horn sounds

intermittently.

I The alarm automatically turns off after ap-

proximately 1 minute. However, the alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with again. The alarm can be shut off by unlock- ing a door or trunk lid with the key, or by pressing the UNLOCK button on the key- fob.

The alarm is activated by: I Opening the door without using the key or

keyfob.

I Opening the trunk lid without using the key

or keyfob.

I Opening the hood. How to stop alarm The alarm will stop only by unlocking a door or trunk lid with the key, or by pressing the UNLOCK button on keyfob. The alarm will not stop if the ignition switch is turned to ACC or ON. If the system does not operate as de- scribed above, have it checked by your NISSAN dealer. NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM The Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System will not allow the engine to start without the use of

the registered Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer Sys- tem key.

If the engine fails to start using the registered Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System key, it may be due to interference caused by another Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System key, an automated toll road device or automated pay- ment device on the key ring. Restart the en- gine 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 sec- onds.

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 Nissan Ve- hicle Immobilizer System key.

If this procedure allows the engine to start, NISSAN recommends placing the regis- tered Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System key on a separate key ring to avoid inter- ference from other devices.

XENON HEADLIGHTS

WARNING

HIGH VOLTAGE

I 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 an authorized NISSAN dealer.

I Xenon headlights provide consider- than conventional ably more light 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 an authorized 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.

I 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.

I 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 SWITCH Lighting Turn the switch to the AUTO position:

When the ignition key is in the ON position, the tail light, headlight, instrument light and other lights turn on automatically, depending on the brightness of the surroundings.

HomeLink UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped) The HomeLink Universal Transceiver pro- vides a convenient way to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into one built-in device. The HomeLink Universal Transceiver power will automatically turn off 30 minutes after the ignition switch has been turned to the off position. HomeLink Universal Transceiver: I Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) devices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks and security systems.

I Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehi- cle’s battery is discharged or is discon- nected, HomeLink will retain all program- ming.

Once the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is programmed, retain the original trans- mitter for future programming procedures (i.e., new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink Universal Transceiver buttons should be erased for security purposes. For addi- tional information, refer to “Programming HomeLink ” later in this section.

WARNING

HomeLink Universal Transceiver.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink To program your HomeLink Transceiver to operate a garage door, gate, or entry door opener, home or office lighting, you need to be at the same location as the device. Note: Garage door openers (manufactured after 1996) have “rolling code protection”. To pro- gram a garage door opener equipped with “rolling code protection”; you will need to use a ladder to get up to the garage door opener motor to be able to access the “smart or learn” program button.

I 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.

I 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.

I Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the

5. If

the indicator light on the HomeLink blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns solid, HomeLink has picked up a “rolling code” garage door opener signal. You will need to proceed with the next steps to train the HomeLink to complete the programming which may require a ladder and another person for convenience.

6. Press and release the “smart” or “learn” program button located on the garage door opener’s motor to activate the “training mode”. This button is usually located near the antenna wire that hangs down from the motor. If the wire originates from under a light lens, you will need to remove the lens to access the program button.

NOTE: Once you have pressed and released the program button on the garage door open- er’s motor and the “training light” is lit, you have 30 seconds in which to perform step 7. Use the help of a second person for convenience to assist when performing this step. 7. Quickly within 30 seconds of pressing and releasing the garage door opener program

PROGRAMMING HomeLink FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS Prior regulations required hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting af- ter 2 seconds. To program your hand-held transmitter to HomeLink , continue to press and hold the HomeLink button (note steps 2
through 4 under “Programming HomeLink ”) while you press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter every 2 seconds until

to 1992, D.O.C.

the indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating successful programming). NOTE: If programming a garage door opener, etc., it is advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible damage to the garage door opener compo- nents. OPERATING THE HomeLink UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER The HomeLink Universal Transceiver (once programmed) may now be used to activate the garage door, etc. To operate, simply press the appropriate programmed HomeLink Univer- sal Transceiver button. The red indicator light will illuminate while the signal is being trans- mitted. PROGRAMMING TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS If the HomeLink does not quickly learn the hand-held transmitter information: I replace the hand-held transmitter batteries

with new batteries.

I press and hold both the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter buttons without inter- ruption.

I position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5
inches (50 to 127 mm) away from the HomeLink surface. Hold the transmitter in that position for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLink is not programmed within that time, try holding the transmitter in another position - keeping the indicator light in view at all times.

If you continue to have programming difficul- ties, please contact the NISSAN Consumer Affairs Department. The phone numbers are located in the Foreword of this Owner’s Manual. CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED INFORMATION Individual buttons cannot be cleared, however to clear all programming, press and hold the two outside buttons and release when the indicator light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds).

safe place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle. 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 KEY - Master and Valet keys: The key number is necessary when you need extra Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys. As many as 5 Nissan Vehicle Immobi- lizer System keys can be used with one ve- hicle. New keys must be registered to the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System compo- nents in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer. At this time, you should bring all Nissan Ve- hicle Immobilizer System keys that you have to your NISSAN dealer for registration. This is because the registration process will erase all memory of the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System components.

WARNING

I 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 unintention- ally opening the doors, and will help keep out intruders.

I Before opening any door, always look

for and avoid oncoming traffic.
