Default warning lights.. should i be worried?

This morning when I started the car and backed out I got the below 2 warning indicator lights.. I have a 09 with around 19.5k miles.. should i be worried

The lights went out in about 30 seconds...

Intelligent Key system warning light (icon is a key in a box)+ Security indicator light (icon is a key in a car).

I am tempted to go to the garage and start the car back up to see if the lights come on again or not..

Chances are the battery is getting low in your key. If it keeps happening might want to check it out

Do you have your steering lock disabled?

Pull the damned steering lock fuse. This problem causes so much mischief for us owners. Please turn to it before your looking at a $1500 bill from Nissan!
