what security feature you talking about?

I was thinking the same thing.

[Bbill528]

If the windows are open and the car is locked and you flip the lock button manually it will set off the alarm....

[T_love]

Is that a standard feature or is it on SE or optional?

How do I use or how does teh security feature work in the car?

Just the other day I was at the gas station. I had the windows partially rolled down and the doors locked. I tried to open the gas door but the window was in the way so I reached down and manually unlocked the door from the outside reaching in. Just then, the alarm went off, the horn was honking and the high beams flashing. I didn't know what to do so I locked the car quickly and inserted my key into the hole and unlocked it from the outside. Then the alarm ceased. It was strange incident.

I believe that some 95 S14 SE's came with an option of remoteless security system. This thread reminded me about my gas station incident so tonight, I'll look into the owner's manual and read more about this function.

It also does that with the hood. I went to the street races and poped my hood and locked the doors. About 10 minutes later I wnet to show some folks my engine and the alarm thingie went off. I had to run over to the door and turn the key (only way to turn it off). It seems to work fairly well, you turn it on by locking the doors, and if the doors are opend without the door being unlocked by the key it will sound the alarm.

I'm taking this from the Nissan 240SX 1995 Owners Manual. I found it in the glove compartment when I bought my car. I wish I found a FSM in the trunk instead. Ah well.

i think mine came with a aftermarket alarm cuz mine is a 95 base model but with a wireless lock doors/disarm alarm remote. and it make all types of noises when it goes off like laser beams, multiple sirens, and honking noises. and i was never really clear on how to activate and deactivate the thing. when it goes off i just push every button i see and unlock the doors with the keys.

i assume ur talking about the security feature. basically when u lock ur doors with the key out of the ignition for 30 secs the security feature will be armed and when someone tries to pop the hood, unlock a door(with out keys), or open the trunk or gas tank, the horn will honk in an attemp to scare off a intruder.

[f8sjester]

hmm .. . i guess i don't have this security feature . . . or if i do then i've never been aware of it. . .

would there be a little blinky light on my dash?

Holistic. . .

no need to be harsh. . I was only asking whether or not this was the information that Vengeance (the originator of this thread) was asking about. . .

It came on the se package for the 95 along with a few other things the 96 se package didnt come standard with... Thats why you dont have one...
