SECURITY SYSTEMS (if so equipped)
LIC0644
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 alarm signals if someone opens the doors 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 keys in the ignition, 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. 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 1. Close all windows. (The system can be armed even if the windows are open.)
2. Remove the from the ignition switch. 3. Close all doors. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with the key, power door lock switch (if the door is opened, locked and then closed), or with the keyfob.
Instruments and controls 2-25
Keyfob operation:
● Push the
button on the keyfob. All doors lock. The hazard lights flash twice and the horn beeps once to indicate all doors are locked.
● When the
button is pushed with all doors locked, the hazard lights flash twice and the horn beeps once as a re- 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, audio and phone sys- tems” section.
4. Confirm that the
indicator light comes

light stays on for about 30
seconds. The vehicle security system is now

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.
2-26 Instruments and controls
● If the key is turned slowly when locking the door, the system may not arm. Fur- thermore, if the key is turned beyond the vertical position toward the unlock position to remove the key, the system may be disarmed when the key is re- moved. If the indicator light fails to glow for 30 seconds, unlock the door once and lock it again.
● Even when the driver and/or passengers are in the vehicle, the system will arm with all doors closed and locked with the ignition switch in the OFF position.
● The lockable bedside storage com- partment (if so equipped) is not pro- tected by the vehicle security system.
Vehicle security system activation The vehicle security system will give the following alarm: ● The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.
● The alarm automatically turns off after ap- proximately 50 seconds. However, the alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with again. The alarm can be shut off by unlocking the driver’s door with the key or by pressing the
button on the keyfob.
The alarm is activated by: ● opening a door without using the key or keyfob (even if the door is unlocked by using the inside lock knob or the power door lock switch).
How to stop an activated alarm The alarm stops only by unlocking the driver’s button door with the key or by pressing the on the keyfob. NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM (if so equipped) The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System will not allow the engine to start without the use of a registered key.
If the engine fails to start using a registered key (for example, when interference is caused by another registered key, an automated toll road device or automatic payment device on the key ring), restart the engine using the following pro- cedures:
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 steps 1 and 2. 4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the interference) separate from the registered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN rec- ommends placing the registered key on a sepa- rate key ring to avoid interference from other devices. Statement related to Section 15 of FCC Rules for NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer Sys- tem (CONT ASSY — IMMOBILIZER, ANT ASSY — IMMOBILIZER) This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the follow- ing two conditions; (1) This device may not cause harmful in- terference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including inter- ference that may cause undesired opera- tion of the device. CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EX- PRESSLY APPROVED BY THE PARTY RE- SPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE COULD VOID THE USER’S AUTHORITY TO OPER- ATE THE EQUIPMENT.

HOMELINK姞 UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped)
The HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver provides a convenient way to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into one built-in device. HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver: ● Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) devices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks and se- curity systems.
● 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姞 will retain all program- ming.
Once the HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver is programmed, retain the original trans- mitter for future programming procedures (Example: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the programmed HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver buttons should be erased for security purposes. For additional information, refer to “Program- ming HomeLink姞” later in this section.
the vehicle,
WARNING
● Do not use the HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and re- verse features as required by federal safety standards. (These standards be- came effective for opener models manufactured after April 1, 1982). A ga- rage door opener which cannot detect an object in the path of a closing garage door and then automatically stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features in- creases the risk of serious injury or death.
● During the programming procedure your garage door or security gate will open and close (if the transmitter is within range). Make sure that people or objects are clear of the garage door, gate, etc. that you are programming.
● Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK姞
1. To begin, press and hold the two outer
HomeLink姞 buttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light 䊊1 blinks (after 20
seconds). Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter 1 - 3 inches (26 - 76 mm) away from the HomeLink姞 surface.
WIC0987
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and
hold both the HomeLink姞 button you want to
program and the hand-held transmitter but-
ton.
DO NOT release the buttons until step 4 has been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on the HomeLink姞 flashes, changing from a “slow blink” to a “rapidly flashing blink”. This could take up to 90 seconds. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. The rapidly flash- ing light indicates successful programming. To activate the garage door or other pro-
5.
grammed device, press and hold the pro- grammed HomeLink姞 button — releasing when the device begins to activate. If the indicator light on the HomeLink姞 blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns solid, HomeLink姞 has picked up a “rolling code” garage door opener signal. You will need to proceed with the next steps to train the HomeLink姞 to complete the programming which may require a ladder and another per- son for convenience.
6. Press and release the “smart” or “learn” pro- gram 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 conve- nience to assist when performing this step.
Instruments and controls 2-57
7. Within 30 seconds of pressing and releas- ing the garage door opener’s program but- ton, quickly and firmly press and release the HomeLink姞 button you’ve just programmed. Press and release the HomeLink姞 button up to 3 times to complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink姞 button should now be pro- grammed. (To program the remaining HomeLink姞 buttons for additional door or gate openers, follow steps 2-4 only.)

NOTE: Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to “clear” programmed HomeLink姞 buttons. If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink姞 buttons, refer to the HomeLink姞 web site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515. PROGRAMMING HOMELINK姞 FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required hand- held transmitters to stop transmitting after 2 sec- onds. To program your hand-held transmitter to HomeLink姞, continue to press and hold the HomeLink姞 button (see steps 2 - 4under “Pro- gramming HomeLink姞”) while you press and re- press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitters every 2-58 Instruments and controls
2 seconds until the indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating successful programming).
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener, etc., it is advised to unplug the device dur- ing the “cycling” process to prevent pos- sible damage to the garage door opener components. OPERATING THE HOMELINK姞 UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER The HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver (once pro- grammed) may now be used to activate the ga- rage door, etc. To operate, simply press the ap- propriate programmed HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver button. The amber indicator light will illuminate while the signal is being transmitted. PROGRAMMING TROUBLE- DIAGNOSIS If the HomeLink姞 does not quickly learn the hand- held transmitter information: ● replace the hand-held transmitter batteries
with new batteries.
● press and hold both the HomeLink姞 and hand-held transmitter buttons without inter- ruption.
● position the hand-held transmitter 1 - 3
inches (26 - 76 mm) away from the
HomeLink姞 surface. Hold the transmitter in
that position for up to 15 seconds.
If
HomeLink姞 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 difficulties, please contact the NISSAN Consumer Affairs Department. The phone numbers are located in the Foreword of this 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).
