OPERATION WITH INTELLIGENT
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM It is possible to lock/unlock all doors,
fuel-filler door, activate the panic alarm
and open the windows by pushing the
buttons on the Intelligent Key from out-
side the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The LOCK /UNLOCK button on
the Intelligent Key can operate at a dis-
tance of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from
the vehicle. (The effective distance de-
pends upon the conditions around the ve-
hicle.)
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be used
with one vehicle. For information concern-
ing the purchase and use of additional In-
telligent Key, contact an INFINITI dealer. The lock and unlock buttons on the Intel-
ligent Key will not operate when:
O the Intelligent Key is too far away from
the vehicle
O the Intelligent Key battery runs down
After locking with the Intelligent remote
keyless entry function, pull the door
handle to make sure the doors are se-
curely locked.
The operating range varies depending on
the environment. To securely operate the
lock and unlock buttons, approach the ve-
hicle to about 3 ft (1 m) from the door.
The panic alarm will not activate when the
mechanical key or the valet key is in the ig-
nition switch.

Foldable outside mirrors Fold the outside mirror by pushing it to-
ward the rear of the vehicle. AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
OPERATION The automatic drive positioner system
has two features:
O Entry/exit function (only available on
models equipped with automatic
transmission)
O Memory storage function
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION (if so
equipped) This system is designed so that the driv-
er's seat and steering column will auto-
matically move when the automatic trans-
mission selector lever is in the P (Park)
position. This allows the driver to get into
and out of the driver's seat more easily.
(This feature is not available on models
equipped with manual transmission.)
The driver's seat will slide backward and
the steering wheel will move up when the
driver's door is opened with the key or ig-
nition switch in the LOCK position.
The driver's seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous positions:
O When the key is inserted into the igni-
tion switch after closing the driver's door, or when the driver's door is
closed after inserting the key into the
ignition switch.
O When the ignition switch is pushed
with the driver's door closed.
O When the key or ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
Initializing entry/exit function The entry/exit function can be activated
or cancelled by pushing and holding the
SET switch for more than 10 seconds
while the ignition switch is in the LOCK
position. The indicator light will blink
once when the function is cancelled, and
the indicator light will blink twice when
the function is activated. If the battery
cable is disconnected, or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will be can-
celled. In such a case, after connecting
the battery or replacing with a new fuse,
open and close the driver's door more
than two times with the ignition switch or
ignition switch in the LOCK position. The
entry/exit function will be activated.SPA1829

Confirming memory storage O Turn the ignition ON and push the SET
switch. If the main memory has not
been stored, the indicator light will
come on for approximately 0.5 sec-
onds. When the memory has stored in
position, the indicator light will stay
on for approximately 5 seconds.
O If the battery cable is disconnected, or
if the fuse opens, the memory will be
canceled.
Reset the desired position using the
previous procedure.
Selecting the memorized position 1. For vehicles equipped with automatic
transmission, move the selector lever
to the P (Park) position.
For vehicles equipped with manual
transmission, move the shift lever in
the N (Neutral) position and apply the
parking brake.
2. Use one of the following methods to
move the driver's seat and the
steering wheel.
O Turn the ignition switch to the ªONº
position and push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully for at least 1
second.
O Within 45 seconds of opening the
driver's door, push the memory
switch (1 or 2) fully for at least 1
second.
The driver's seat and steering column
will move to the memorized position
with the indicator light flashing, and
then the light will stay on for approxi-
mately 5 seconds.
SYSTEM OPERATION The automatic drive positioner system will
not work or will stop operating under the
following conditions:
O when the vehicle speed is above 4
MPH (7 km/h).
O when the adjusting switch for the driv-
er's seat and steering column is
turned on while the automatic drive
positioner is operating.
O when the cancel switch (if so
equipped) is pushed to the CANCEL
side. (However, it will not be cancelled
if the switch is pushed while the seat
and steering column are returning to the previous positions (entry/exit
function).)
O when the memory switch 1 or 2 is not
pushed and held for at least 1 second.
O when the seat has already been
moved to the memorized position.
O when no seat position is stored in the
memory switch.
O when the parking brake is not applied.
Ð MT models
O when the speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h) while the parking brake is ap-
plied. Ð MT models
To restart the drive positioner system,
move the parking brake to off and on.
O when the front seat is folded for oper-
ating the walk-in mechanism (if so
equipped).
O when the engine is started while the
automatic drive positioner is operating.
O when the AT selector lever is moved
from the P position to any other posi-
tion. (However, it will not be cancelled
if the switch is pushed while the seat
and steering column are returning to
the previous positions (entry/exit

FM RADIO RECEPTION Range: FM range is normally limited to 25
to 30 miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural
(single channel) FM having slightly more
range than stereo FM. External influences
may sometimes interfere with FM station
reception even if the FM station is within
25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM
signal is directly related to the distance
between the transmitter and receiver. FM
signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhib-
iting many of the same characteristics as
light. For example they will reflect off ob-
jects. Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves
away from a station transmitter, the sig-
nals will tend to fade and/or drift.
Static and flutter: During signal interfer-
ence from buildings, large hills or due to
antenna position, usually in conjunction
with increased distance from the station
transmitter, static or flutter can be heard.
This can be reduced by adjusting the
treble control counterclockwise to reduce
treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the re-
flective characteristics of FM signals, di-
rect and reflected signals reach the re-
ceiver at the same time. The signals may
cancel each other, resulting in momentary
flutter or loss of sound.
AM RADIO RECEPTION AM signals, because of their low fre-
quency, can bend around objects and
skip along the ground. In addition, the
signals can be bounced off the iono-
sphere and bent back to earth. Because
of these characteristics. AM signals are
also subject to interference as they travel
from transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is
passing through freeway underpasses or in areas with many tall buildings. It can
also occur for several seconds during
ionospheric turbulence even in areas
where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, elec-
trical power lines, electric signs and even
traffic lights.
SATELLITE RADIO RECEPTION (if so
equipped) When the satellite radio is first installed
or the battery has been replaced, the sat-
ellite radio may not work properly. This is
not a malfunction. Wait more than 10 min-
utes with satellite radio ON for satellite
radio to receive all of the necessary data.
No satellite radio reception is available
unless optional satellite receiver and an-
tenna are installed and an XM or
SIRIUS TM
satellite radio service subscrip-
tion is active.
Satellite radio is not available in Alaska
and Hawaii.
Satellite radio performance may be af-
fected if cargo carried on the roof blocks
the satellite radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo over the sat-
ellite antenna.SAA0306
