Have the vehicle inspected by an
INFINITI dealer. You do not need to
have your vehicle towed to the re-
tailer.
CAUTIONContinued vehicle operation without having
the emission control system checked and re-
paired as necessary could lead to poor drive-
ability, reduced fuel economy, and possible
damage to the emission control system.
Slip indicator lightThe light will blink when the vehicle dy-
namic control (VDC) system is operating,
thus alerting the driver to the fact that the
road surface is slippery and the vehicle is
nearing its traction limits.
This light also comes on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position.
The light will turn off if the VDC is opera-
tional.
Snow mode indicator light
(if so equipped)When selecting SNOW mode while the en-
gine is running, this light will illuminate. See ªSNOW MODE SWITCHº in the ª2. In-
struments and controlsº section.
Turn signal/hazard indicator
lights The light flashes when the turn signal
switch lever or hazard switch is turned
on.
Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) off indicator light The light comes on when the vehicle dy-
namic control (VDC) off switch is pushed
to OFF. This indicates that the VDC system
is not operating.
This light also comes on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON position.
The light will turn off if the VDC system is
operational.
When the VDC off indicator light and slip
indicator light come on with the VDC sys-
tem turned on, this light alerts the driver
to the fact that the VDC system fail-safe
mode is operating and the system may
not be functioning properly. Have the sys-
tem checked by an INFINITI dealer. If a
malfunction occurs in the system, the VDC
system function will be canceled but the
vehicle is still driveable. For additional in- formation, see ªVehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) systemº in the ª5. Starting and
drivingº section of this manual.
AUDIBLE REMINDERS
Key reminder chime The chime will sound if the driver's side
door is opened while the key is left in the
ignition switch (ignition switch is turned
off). Remove the key and take it with you
when leaving the vehicle.
Light reminder chime The chime will sound when the front door
is opened with the headlight switch on
unless the ignition switch is in the ON po-
sition.
Make sure to turn the light switch off
when you leave the vehicle.
Brake pad wear warning The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires re-
placement, it will make a high pitched
scraping sound when the vehicle is in mo-
tion whether or not the brake pedal is de-
pressed. Have the brakes checked as
soon as possible if the warning sound is
heard.

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.
