Nissan 2010 Automobile User Manual


 
Your vehicle may have two types of security sys-
tems:
Vehicle security system (if so equipped)
NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System (if so
equipped)
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM (if so
equipped)
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarmsignals ifsomeone opensthe doors
when the system is armed. It is not, however, a
motion detectiontype systemthatactivates when
a vehicle is moved or when a vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent thetheft of interior or
exterior vehicle components in all situations. Al-
ways secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your keys in the ignition,
and always lockthe vehicle when unattended. Be
aware of your surroundings, and park in secure,
well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devicesoffering 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 discountsfor various theftprotection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system

armed even if the windows are open.)
2. Remove the from the ignition switch.

can be locked with the key, power door lock
switch (if the door is opened, locked and
then closed), or with the keyfob.

When the
button is pushed with
all doors locked, the hazard lights flash

minder that the doors are already locked.
The horn may or may not beep. Refer to
“Silencing the horn beep feature” (vehicles
without navigation system) in the “Pre-driving
checks and adjustments” section or “Vehicle
electronic systems” (vehicles with navigation
system) in the “Display screen, heater, air
conditioner and audio systems” section.
4. Confirm that the indicator light comes
on. The
light stays on for about 30
seconds. The vehicle security system is now
pre-armed. After about 30 seconds the ve-
hicle security system automatically shifts
into thearmed phase. The
light begins
to flash once every 3 seconds. If, during the
30-second pre-arm time period, the door is
unlocked by the key or the keyfob, or the
ignition switch is placed to ACC or ON, the
system will not arm.
