In order for the steering wheel to be
locked, it must be turned about 1/6 of a
turn clockwise from the straight up posi-
tion.
To lock the steering wheel, turn the key to
the LOCK position. Remove the key.
To unlock the steering wheel, insert the
key and turn it gently while rotating the
steering wheel slightly right and left.
WARNINGNever remove or turn the key to the LOCK po-
sition while driving. The steering wheel will
lock. This may cause the driver to lose con-
trol of the vehicle and could result in serious
vehicle damage and/or personal injury.
KEY POSITIONS The ignition switch includes an anti-theft
steering lock device.
LOCK (Normal parking position) (0)
The ignition key can only be removed
when the ignition switch is in this posi-
tion. OFF (1)
The engine can be turned off without
locking the steering wheel.
The ignition lock is designed so that the
key cannot be turned to the LOCK position
and removed until the selector lever is
moved to the P position (for automatic
transmission) or the key is pushed in
while turning the key between the ACC
and LOCK positions.
ACC (Accessories) (2)
This position activates electrical accesso-
ries when the engine is not running.
ON (Normal operating position) (3)
This position activates ignition system in
addition to electrical accessories.
START (4)
This position activates the starter motor,
starting the engine.
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 a 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) away from the registered
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 devices.

CAUTIONDo not leave the vehicle with the ignition
switch in ACC or ON position when the en-
gine is not running for an extended period.
This can discharge the battery. 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 does not start using a regis-
tered key (for example, when interference
is caused by another registered key, an
automated toll road device or an auto-
mated payment device on the key ring),
restart the engine using the following pro-
cedures:
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 devices. O Make sure the area around the vehicle
is clear.
O Maintenance items should be checked
periodically, for example, each time
you check engine oil.
O Check that all windows and lights are
clean.
O Visually inspect tires for their appear-
ance and condition. Also check tires
for proper inflation.
O Lock all doors.
O Position seat and adjust head re-
straints.
O Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
O Fasten seat belts and ask all passen-
gers to do likewise.
O Check the operation of warning lights
when the ignition key is turned to the
ON position. See ªWarning/indicator
