Push-Button Ignition Switch Operation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The power supply position changing operation can be performed with the following operations:

NOTE:

When an Intelligent Key is within the detection area of inside key antenna or when it is inserted to the key slot, it is equivalent to the operations below.
When starting the engine, the BCM monitors under the engine start conditions.
- Brake pedal operating condition
- CVT selector lever position
- Vehicle speed
- Steering lock condition
- Engine status
Unless each start condition is fulfilled, the engine will not respond regardless of how many times the engine switch is pressed. At that time, illumination repeats the position in the order of LOCK→ACC→ON→OFF.

P position

⁽¹⁾	When the CVT selector lever position is N position, the engine start condition is different according to the vehicle speed.

At vehicle speed of 4 km/h (2 MPH) or less, the engine can start only when the brake pedal is depressed.
At vehicle speed of 4 km/h (2 MPH) or more, the engine can start even if the brake pedal is not depressed. (It is the same as "Engine stall return operation while driving".)

⁽²⁾	When the CVT selector lever position is in any position other than P position and when the vehicle speed is 5 km/h (3 MPH) or more, the engine stop condition is different.

Press and hold the push-button ignition switch for 2 seconds or more. (When the push-button ignition switch is pressed for too short a time, the operation may be invalid, so properly press and hold to prevent an incorrect operation.)
Press the push-button ignition switch 3 times or more within 1.5 seconds. (Emergency stop operation)
