If the security alarm on your 2000 Nissan Xterra is triggered, start by unlocking the driver's side door using the key. If it's already unlocked, lock and then unlock it again. Once inside the vehicle, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the "on" position for 10 minutes before starting the engine. If you're still having trouble with the alarm, it could be due to an aftermarket third-party system installed in your vehicle, so you'll need to identify the type of alarm before attempting to reset it.
