position, this light comes on for about
2 seconds and then turns off. This light illu-
minates or blinks as follows:
The light blinks in yellow when the door
is closed with the Intelligent Key left out-
side the vehicle and the ignition switch
in the ON position. Make sure that the
Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle.
The light blinks in green when the Intel-
ligent Key battery is running out of
power. Replace the battery with a new
one. For additional information, refer to
“Battery in the “Do-it-yourself section
of this manual.
The light illuminates in yellow when it
warns of a malfunction with the electri-
cal steering lock system or the Intelli-
gent Key system.
If the warning light illuminates in yellow
while the engine is stopped, it may be im-
possible to free the steering lock or to start
the engine. If the light comes on while the
engine is running, you can drive the vehicle.
However, in these cases, have the vehicle
checked and repaired as soon as possible.
It is recommended that you visit a NISSAN
dealer for this service.
