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-

The Intelligent Key uses coded radio sig-
nals to communicate with the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key is near the ve-
hicle, such as in your pocket or purse, it
allows the vehicle to be locked, unlocked,
or started without inserting the ignition
key. It is also possible to use the remote
control entry function.
CAUTIONO Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you.
O Do not leave the vehicle with the Intelli-
gent Key inside.
O The Intelligent Key may not function
correctly depending on the environ-
ment or operating conditions. It could
also malfunction if you do not use it
correctly.
O The Intelligent Key transmits faint
radio waves.
In the following situations, the Intelli-
gent Key and remote control entry func-
tions may not operate correctly, and
you may have to use the metal key (me-
chanical key, valet key or wallet key): Ð when there are strong signals
coming from a television tower,
power station or broadcasting sta-
tion.
Ð when you have wireless equipment
or a cellular phone with you.
Ð when the Intelligent Key is in con-
tact with or covered by a metallic
material.
Ð when radio wave-type remote con-
trol entry is used nearby.
Ð when the Intelligent Key is placed
near an electric appliance such as a
personal computer.
O The Intelligent Key continually con-
sumes battery power as the key re-
ceives a signal to communicate with
the vehicle. Battery life is about 2
years, although it varies depending on
the operating conditions. When the
battery of the Intelligent Key is low, the
green blinking key warning light goes
out about 30 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. If
the battery runs down, replace it with a
new one.
O If the Intelligent Key receives strong
signal over an extended period of time, the battery could quickly run down. Do
not place the Intelligent Key near an
electric appliance such as a television
set or personal computer.
O Because the ignition switch is elec-
tronically controlled, if the battery is
completely discharged when the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK position, the
steering lock cannot be released and
the ignition switch cannot be turned
(including the mechanical key). Be
careful not to completely discharge the
battery.
O In case the battery is completely dis-
charged, make sure to recharge the
battery immediately.

of a battery, see ªKeyfob battery replace-
mentº in the ª8. Maintenance and do-it-
yourselfº section.INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (if so equipped)
