Precaution For NVIS (Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System-NATS)

NVIS (NATS) will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without the registered NVIS (NATS) key.
Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs are NVIS (NATS) registered.
If requested by the vehicle owner, a maximum of five key IDs can be registered into the NVIS (NATS) components. All other existing keys will need to be re-registered if any additional keys are added.
The security indicator is located on the instrument panel. The indicator blinks when the ignition switch is in "OFF" or "ACC" position. Therefore, NVIS (NATS) warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped with the system.

- When NVIS (NATS) detects a malfunction, the security indicator lamp will illuminate continuously while ignition switch is in "ON" position.
This indicates that the system is not functioning, and prompt service is required.
- When servicing NVIS (NATS) (trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other NVIS (NATS) ignition key IDs), CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II NVIS (NATS) software is necessary.
When NVIS (NATS) initialization has been completed, the ID of the inserted ignition key is automatically NVIS (NATS) registered. Then, if necessary, additional registration of other NVIS (NATS) ignition key IDs can be carried out.

Therefore, CONSULT-II NVIS (NATS) software must be kept strictly confidential to maintain the integrity of the anti-theft function.

- When servicing NVIS (NATS) (trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other NVIS (NATS) ignition key IDs), it is necessary to re-register all original key identifications. Therefore, be sure to receive ALL KEYS from vehicle owner. A maximum of five key IDs can be registered into NVIS (NATS).
- If the engine fails to start the first time using the NVIS (NATS) key, start as follows.
a. Leave the ignition key in "ON" position for approximately 5 seconds.
b. Turn ignition key to "OFF" or "LOCK" position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
c. Repeat step a and b again.
d. Restart the engine while keeping the key separate from any others on key-chain.
