2006 INFINITI G35 Owners Manual

Your vehicle has two types of security
systems, as follows:
O Vehicle Security System
O INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by
the security indicator light.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM The vehicle security system provides vi-
sual and audible alarm signals if
someone opens the doors, hood, or trunk
lid when the system is armed. It is not,
however, a motion detection type system that activates when a vehicle is moved or
when a vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
theft of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your keys in the vehicle, and
always lock it when unattended. Be aware
of your surroundings, and park in secure,
well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and spe-
cialty shops. An INFINITI dealer may also
offer such equipment. Check with your in-
surance company to see if you may be eli-
gible for discounts for various theft pro-
tection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system 1. Close all windows.
The system can be armed even if the win-
dows are open.
2. O Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
O Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position or remove the mechanical
key from the ignition switch (Intelli-
gent Key equipped model).SIC2132 SIC2564

3. Close and lock all doors, hood and
trunk lid.
Lock all doors by pushing the LOCK
button on the keyfob, the Intelli-
gent Key or by pushing any front door
handle request switch or turning the
door key. When using the remote key-
less entry, the hazard indicators will
operate as shown in ªRemote keyless
entry systemº or ªIntelligent Key
systemº in the ª3. Pre-driving checks
and adjustmentsº section.
4. Confirm that the security indicator
light
q A
comes on. The security indica-
tor light glows for about 30 seconds
and then blinks. The system is now
armed. If, during this 30-second time
period, the door is unlocked by the
key, the remote keyless entry or the
front door request switch, or the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ACC or ON
position, the system will not be
armed.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will be
armed with all doors, hood and trunk lid
locked and ignition switch off. Turn the ig-
nition switch to the ACC position to turn off
the system. Vehicle security system activation The security system will give the following
alarm:
O The headlights blink and the horn
sounds intermittently.
O The alarm automatically turns off after
approximately 50 seconds. However,
the alarm reactivates if the vehicle is
tampered with again. The alarm can
be shut off by unlocking a door with
the key, by pushing any front door
handle request switch or by pushing
the UNLOCK button on the keyfob
or Intelligent Key.
The alarm is activated by:
O Opening the door without using the
key or keyfob or Intelligent Key.
O Opening the trunk lid without using
the keyfob or Intelligent Key.
O Opening the hood.
How to stop an activated alarm The alarm will stop only by unlocking a
door with the key, by pushing any door
handle request switch or by pushing the
UNLOCK button on keyfob or Intelli-
gent Key. The alarm will not stop if the ig- nition switch is turned to the ACC or ON
position.
If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, have it checked by an
INFINITI dealer.
INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the regis-
tered key (for example, when interference
is caused by another registered key, an
automated toll road device or automated
payment device on the key ring), restart
the engine using the following proce-
dures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON po-
sition for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or
LOCK position and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the
device (which may have caused the in-

terference) separate from the regis-
tered key.
If this procedure allows the engine to
start, INFINITI recommends placing the
registered key on a separate key ring
to avoid interference from other de-
vices.

XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING HIGH VOLTAGE
O When xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an elec-
tric shock, never attempt to modify or
disassemble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced at an INFINITI
dealer.
O Xenon headlights provide considerably
more light than conventional headlights.
If they are not correctly aimed, they
might temporarily blind an oncoming
driver or the driver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. If headlights
are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to an INFINITI dealer
and have the headlights adjusted
correctly. When the xenon headlight is initially
turned on, its brightness or color varies
slightly. However, the color and bright-
ness will soon stabilize.
O The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off opera-
tion. It is generally desirable not to
turn off the headlights for short inter-
vals (for example, when the vehicle
stops at a traffic signal). Even when the
daytime running lights are active
(Canada only), the xenon headlights do
not turn on. This way the life of the
xenon headlights is not reduced.
O If a xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start
blinking, or the color of the light will
become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, contact an INFINITI
dealer.

Daytime running light system
(Canada only) The headlights automatically illuminate at
a reduced intensity when the engine is
started with the parking brake released.
The daytime running lights operate with
the headlight switch in the OFF position
or in the position. Turn the headlight
switch to the position for full illumi-
nation when driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the daytime running
lights do not illuminate. The daytime run-
ning lights illuminate once the parking
brake is released. The daytime running
lights will remain on until the ignition
switch is turned off.
WARNINGWhen the daytime running light system is
active, tail lights on your vehicle are not on.
It is necessary at dusk to turn on your head-
lights. Failure to do so could cause an acci-
dent injuring yourself and others. Instrument brightness control The instrument brightness control oper-
ates when the light switch is in the AUTO
(when lighting), or position.
Turn the control to the darkening direc-
tion
q A
or the brightening direction
q B
to
adjust the brightness of the instrument
panel (except power window switch
lights).
When the control is turned to the upper
