BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE D ON (Normal operating position) k : This position turns on the ignition system and electrical accessories. E START k: 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 an 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. 2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately 10 seconds. 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 NVIS key. If this procedure allows the engine to start, NISSAN recommends placing the registered NVIS key on a separate key ring to avoid interference from other devices. ¼ Make sure the area around the vehicle is clear. ¼ Maintenance items should be checked periodically, for example, each time you check engine oil. ¼ Check that all windows and lights are clean. ¼ Visually inspect tires for their appearance and condition. Also, check tires for proper inflation. ¼ Lock all doors. ¼ Position seat and adjust head restraints. ¼ Adjust inside and outside mirrors. ¼ Adjust the pedal position. ¼ Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to do likewise. ¼ Check the operation of warning lights when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position. This position starts the engine. As soon as the engine has started, release the knob immediately. It will automatically return to the ON position. For important safety information, see "Ignition switch" in the "Starting and driving" section. The ignition switch cannot be turned back to the LOCK position unless the shift lever is in P B position. (It can be turned only to the k position.) CAUTION Do not leave the vehicle with the ignition switch in ACC or ON positions when the engine is not running for an extended period. This can discharge the battery. Starting and driving 5-11
