Intelligent Key Battery ReplacementNIS001Y6
DISASSEMBLY AND ASSEMBLY OF INTELLIGENT KEY
1. Release the lock knob at the back of the Intelligent Key and remove the machanical key.
2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver (A) wrapped with a close into the
slit of the corner and twist it to separate the upper part from the
lower part.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to touch the circuit board or battery termi-
nal.
The key fob is water-resistant. However, if it does get wet,
immediately wipe it dry.
3. Replace the battery with new one.
4. Align the tips of the upper and lower parts, and then push them
together until it is securely closed.
CAUTION:
When replacing battery, be sure to keep dirt, grease, and
other foreign materials off the electrode contact area.
After replacing the battery, check to make sure all Intelli-
gent Key functions work normally.
INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY INSPECTION
Check by connecting a resistance (approximately 300) so that the
current value becomes about 10 mA.

INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM/ENGINE START FUNCTION
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
System DescriptionNIS001Y8
The engine start function of Intelligent Key system is a system that makes it possible to start and stop the
engine without removing the key. It verifies the electronic ID using two-way communications when press-
ing the push-button ignition switch while carrying the Intelligent Key, which operates based on the results
of electronic ID verification for Intelligent Key using two-way communications between the Intelligent Key
and the vehicle (Intelligent Key unit).
NOTE:
The driver should always carry the intelligent key at all times.
Intelligent Key has 2 IDs (for Intelligent Key and for immobilizer). It can perform the door lock/unlock oper-
ation and the push-button ignition switch operation when carrying the registered Intelligent Key.
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, it can be used as emergency by inserting the Intelligent
Key to the key slot. At that time, perform the immobilizer ID verification. If it is used when carrying the
Intelligent Key, perform the Intelligent Key ID verification.
If the ID is successfully verified, and when push-button ignition switch is pressed, steering lock will be
released and initiating the engine will be possible.
If the door lock/unlock operation is performed when the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, all doors
lock/unlock can be performed by operating the driver door key cylinder using the mechanical key set into
the Intelligent Key.
Intelligent Key can be registered up to 4 keys (Including the standard Intelligent Key) on request from the
owner.
NOTE:
Refer to BL-44, "INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM" for any functions other than engine start function of
Intelligent Key system.

starter motor relay. (If the engine initiating has failed, the cranking will stop automatically within 5 sec-
onds.)
CAUTION:
When the Intelligent Key is carried outside of the vehicle (inside key antenna detection area) with
the power supply in ACC or ON position, even if the engine start condition* is satisfied, the engine
cannot be started.
*: For the engine start condition, refer to BL-130, "
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION PROCE-
DURE" .
Operation Range
Engine can be started when Intelligent Key is inside the vehicle. However, sometimes engine might not start
when Intelligent Key is on instrument panel or in glove box.
OPERATION WHEN KEY SLOT IS USED
When the Intelligent Key battery is discharged, it performs the immobilizer ID verification between the inte-
grated transponder and BCM by inserting the Intelligent Key into the key slot, and then the engine can be
started.
For details relating to starting the engine using key slot, refer to BL-248, "
IVIS (INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBI-
LIZER SYSTEM-NATS)" .
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION PROCEDURE
The power supply position changing operation can be performed with the following operation.
NOTE:
When an Intelligent Key is within the detection area of inside key antenna and when it is inserted to the
key slot, it is equivalent to the operations below.
When starting the engine, the Intelligent Key unit monitors the engine start conditions (brake pedal operat-
ing condition, A/T selector lever position, and vehicle speed).
Unless each start condition is fulfilled, the engine will not respond regardless of how many times the
engine switch is pushed. At that time, illumination repeats the position in the order of LOCK
