Nissan Pathfinder: Security systems

• Basic Information
• NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System

Basic Information

Your vehicle has two types of security systems:

• Vehicle security system
• NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System

Vehicle security system

Basic Information

The vehicle security system provides visual and audible alarm signals if someone opens the doors, hood or liftgate 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. Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a brief period.

Never leave your keys in the vehicle, 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. A 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 and the moonroof (if so equipped). The system can be armed even if the windows and moonroof are open.

2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.

3. Close all doors, hood and liftgate. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with the Intelligent Key, door capacitive touch pad (if so equipped) or power door lock switch.

4. Wait 30 seconds for the system to complete the pre-armed phase. If during the pre-armed phase one of the following occurs, the system will not arm:

• Any door is unlocked with the Intelligent Key or door capacitive touch pad (if so equipped).
• The ignition switch is placed in the ON position.

• Even when the driver and/or passengers are in the vehicle, the system will activate when all the doors, hood and liftgate are locked with the ignition switch placed in the LOCK position.

  When placing the ignition switch in the ON position, the system will be released.

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 a period of time. However, the alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with again. The alarm can be shut off by unlocking the driver's door by pressing the button on the Intelligent Key or placing the ignition switch in the ON position.

The alarm is activated by:

• opening a door without using the Intelligent Key (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 door or the liftgate by pressing the button on the Intelligent Key or pushing the capacitive touch pad (if so equipped) on the driver's or passenger's door with the Intelligent Key in range of the door handle.

NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System

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 procedures:

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.

If the no start condition reoccurs, NISSAN recommends placing the registered key on a separate key ring to avoid interference from other devices.

Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
