IGNITION SWITCH POSITIONS B position Push in the ignition switch to the ᭺ when you turn it. A : LOCK (Normal parking 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. If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN recommends placing the registered key on a separate key ring to avoid interference from other devices. The ignition switch can only be locked in the LOCK position. The ignition switch will be unlocked when it is C pushed in, and turned to the ACC position ᭺ while carrying the Intelligent Key. C : ACC (Accessories) ᭺ NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM The NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer system will not allow the engine to start without the use of the 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 procedure: 1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds. 2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately 10 seconds. 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. This position activates electrical accessories such as the radio, when the engine is not running. D : ON (Normal operating position) ᭺ This position turns on the ignition system and the electrical accessories. E : START ᭺ This position starts the engine. As soon as the engine has started, release the ignition switch immediately. It will automatically return to the ON position. The ignition switch cannot be turned back to the LOCK position unless the shift selector is in the P B (Park) position. (It can be turned only to the ᭺ position.) 5-10 Starting and driving
