How to activate the vehicle security
system 1. Close all windows.
The system can be activated even if the
windows are open.
2. Remove the key from the ignition switch.
3. Close and lock all doors, hood and trunk lid.
Lock all doors by pressing the LOCK button
on the keyfob. When using the keyfob, the
hazard indicators flash twice to indicate all
doors are locked. 4. Confirm that the SECURITY indicator light
comes on. The SECURITY indicator light
glows for about 30 seconds and then blinks.
The system is now activated. If, during this
30 second time period, the door is unlocked
by the key or the keyfob, or the ignition key
is turned to ACC or ON, the system will not
activate.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors, hood and trunk lid locked
and ignition key off. Turn the ignition key to
ACC to turn off the system.
Vehicle security system operation The security system will give the following
alarm:
O The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.
O The alarm automatically turns off after ap-
proximately 1 minute. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by unlock-
ing a door with the key, or by pressing the
UNLOCK button on the keyfob.
The alarm is activated by:
O Opening the door without using the key or
keyfob. O Opening the trunk lid without using the key
or keyfob.
O Opening the hood.
How to stop alarm The alarm will stop only by unlocking a door
with the key, or by pressing the UNLOCK
button on keyfob. The alarm will not stop if the
ignition switch is turned to ACC or ON.
If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, have it checked by your
INFINITI retailer.
INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM The Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System
key.
If the engine fails to start using the registered
Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System key, it may
be due to interference caused by another
Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System key, an
automated toll road device or automated pay-
ment device on the key ring. Restart the en-
gine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.SIC1442

To sound the horn, push on or near the horn
marks of the steering wheel.
WARNINGDo not disassemble the horn. Doing so
could affect proper operation of the
supplemental front air bag system. Tam-
pering with the supplemental front air
bag system may result in serious per-
sonal injury. The front seats are warmed by built-in heaters.
The switches located on the center console
can be operated independently of each other.
1. Start the engine.
2. Select heat range.
O For low heat, press the (Low) side
of the switch.
O For high heat, press the (High)
side of the switch.
O For no heat, the switch has a center OFF
position between low and high.
The indicator light in the switch will illumi- nate when low or high is selected.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat,
automatically turning the heater on and off.
The indicator light will remain on as long as
the switch is on.
3. When the vehicle's interior is warmed, or
before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn
the switch to the off position (center).
CAUTION O The battery could run down if the seat
heater is operated while the engine is
not running.
O Do not use the seat heater for ex-
tended periods or when no one is
using the seat.
O Do not put anything on the seat which
insulates heat, such as a blanket,
cushion, seat cover, etc. Otherwise,
the seat may become overheated.
O Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in
damage to the heater.SIC1838 SIC1839

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR
LOCK Child safety locking helps prevent doors from
being opened accidentally, especially when
small children are in the vehicle.
When the lever is in the LOCK position, the
rear door can be opened only from the
outside. It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, trunk lid
and fuel filler lid and activate the panic alarm
by using the keyfob from outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The keyfob can operate at a distance of ap-
proximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
effective distance depends upon the condi-
tions around the vehicle.)
As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the pur-
chase and use of additional keyfob, contact
your INFINITI retailer.
The keyfob will not function when:
O the battery is dead,
O the distance between the vehicle and the
keyfob is over 33 ft (10 m).
The panic alarm and the trunk lid release
will not activate when the key is in the
ignition switch.
CAUTION The following conditions or occurrences
will damage the keyfob. O Do not allow the keyfob to become
wet.
O Do not drop the keyfob.
O Do not strike the keyfob sharply
against another object.
O Do not place the keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140ÉF (60ÉC).
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, INFINITI
recommends erasing the ID code of that
keyfob. This will prevent the keyfob from
unauthorized use to unlock the vehicle.
For information regarding the erasing
procedure, please contact an authorized
INFINITI retailer.
