To unlock the steering wheel, insert the key and turn it gently while rotating the steering wheel slightly right and left. This position starts the engine. It automatically returns to the ON position. NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM(if so equipped) 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 procedures: 1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately 10 seconds. 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 recommends placing the registered key on a separate key ring to avoid interference from other devices. WARNING Never remove or turn the key to the LOCK position while driving. This may cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle and could result in serious vehicle damage or personal injury.
