IGNITION SWITCH

Remember, drinking and driving don’t mix!

That is true for drugs (over-the-counter,

prescription) and illegal drugs, too. Don’t

drive if your ability to operate your vehicle is

impaired by alcohol, drugs, or some other

physical condition.

DRINKING ALCOHOL/DRUGS AND

DRIVING

WARNING

∙ Never remove the ignition key or place

the ignition switch in the LOCK posi-

tion while driving. The steering wheel

will lock. This may cause the driver to

lose control of the vehicle and could

result in serious vehicle damage or

personal injury.

WARNING

Never drive under the influence of alco-

hol or drugs. Alcohol in the bloodstream

reduces coordination, delays reaction

time and impairs judgement. Driving

after drinking alcohol increases the

likelihood of being involved in an acci-

dent injuring yourself and others. Addi-

tionally, if you are injured in an accident,

alcohol can increase the severity of the

injury.

NISSAN is committed to safe driving. How-

ever, you must choose not to drive under the

influence of alcohol. Every year thousands of

people are injured or killed in alcohol-related

collisions. Although the local laws vary on

what is considered to be legally intoxicated,

the fact is that alcohol affects all people dif-

ferently and most people underestimate the

effects of alcohol.

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 auto-

mated toll road device or automatic pay-

ment device on the key ring), restart the

engine using the following procedure:

IGNITION SWITCH POSITIONS

LOCK: Normal parking position (0)

OFF: (1)

The engine can be turned off without lock-

ing the steering wheel.

1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON po-

sition for approximately 5 seconds.

ACC: (Accessories) (2)

WSD0052

This position activates electrical accesso-

ries such as the radio when the engine is

not running.

2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or

LOCK position, and wait approximately

10 seconds.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION (if so

equipped)

The ignition switch includes a device that

helps prevent accidental removal of the

key while driving.

ON: Normal operating position (3)

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.

This position turns on the ignition system

and the electrical accessories.

4. Restart the engine while holding the

device (which may have caused the in-

terference) separate from the regis-

tered key.

The key can only be removed when the

ignition switch is in the LOCK position.

START: (4)

In order for the steering wheel to be locked,

it must be turned about 1/8 of a turn clock-

wise from the straight up position.

This position starts the engine. As soon as

the engine has started, release the key. It

automatically returns to the ON position.

If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN

recommends placing the registered key on

a separate key ring to avoid interference

from other devices.
