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-128, "
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-244, "
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→AC-
C→ON→LOCK.

NOTE:
If another Intelligent Key or foreign materials are inserted at push-button ignition switch operation, perform the
immobilizer ID verification first. When the immobilizer ID verification cannot be performed, the system
switches to the Intelligent Key ID verification. Therefore, there is the time difference in the push-button ignition
switch operation.

IVIS (INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS)
Revision: 2007 April2007 M35/M45
System DescriptionNIS0020D
DESCRIPTION

The IVIS (NATS) is an anti-theft system by registering an Intelligent Key ID in to the vehicle and prevents
the engine being started by an unregistered Intelligent Key. It has a higher protection against auto thefts
that duplicates mechanical key.

It performs the ID verification when starting the engine in the same way as the Intelligent Key system. But,
it performs the IVIS (NATS) ID verification when inserting the Intelligent Key and performs the Intelligent
Key ID verification when carrying the Intelligent Key.

The Intelligent Key system of FUGA (Y50) is not the same as the conventional models. The mechanical
key integrated in the Intelligent Key cannot start the engine. When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged, the IVIS (NATS) ID verification memorized to the transponder integrated with Intelligent Key is
performed by inserting the Intelligent Key into the key slot. If the verification results are OK, the engine
start operation can be performed by the push-button ignition switch operation.

Locate the security indicator and apply the anti-theft system equipment sticker, forewarn that the IVIS
(NATS) is onboard with the model.

The security indicator always blinks when the Intelligent Key is removed from the key slot and when the
power supply position is in LOCK position.

Intelligent Key can be registered up to 4 keys (Including the standard ignition key) on request from the
owner.

The specified registration is required when replacing ECM, BCM or Intelligent Key. The registrations pro-
cedure for IVIS (NATS) and registration procedure for Intelligent Key when installing the Intelligent Key
unit, refer to CONSULT-II Operation Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS.

Possible symptom of IVIS (NATS) malfunction is “Engine cannot start”. In FUGA (Y50), the engine can be
started with the Intelligent Key system and IVIS (NATS). Identify the possible causes according to “Work
Flow”, Refer to BL-269, "
Work Flow" .

If ECM other than Genuine NISSAN is installed, the engine cannot be started. For ECM replacement pro-
cedure, refer to BL-248, "
ECM Re-Communicating Function" .
PRECAUTIONS FOR KEY REGISTRATION

The key registration is a procedure that erases the current IVIS (NATS) ID once, and then re register a
new ID operation. Therefore the registered Intelligent Key is necessary for this procedure. Before starting
the registration operation collect all registered Intelligent Key from the customer

When registering the Intelligent Key, 2 registration procedures [IVIS (NATS) ID registration and Intelligent
Key ID registration] should be performed. The IVIS (NATS) ID registration is the procedure that registers
the ID stored into the transponder (integrated into Intelligent Key) to the BCM. The Intelligent Key ID reg-
istration is the procedure that registers the ID to the Intelligent Key unit. Each registration procedure
should be done separated.

When performing the Intelligent Key system registration only, the engine cannot be started by inserting the
key into the key slot. When performing the IVIS (NATS) registration only, the engine cannot be started by
the operation when carrying the key. The registrations of both systems should be performed.
SECURITY INDICATOR

Warn the outside that the vehicle is the model with IVIS (NATS).

The security indicator always blinks when the Intelligent Key is removed from the key slot and when the
ignition switch is in LOCK position.
NOTE:
Because security indicator is highly efficient, the battery is barely affected.

Operation DescriptionNIS0020E
SYSTEM DIAGRAM
OPERATION WHEN INSERTING TO KEY SLOT
1. When inserting the Intelligent Key (with transponder) into the key slot, the key switch in the key slot turns
ON, and then it is detected that the Intelligent Key is inserted.
2. When pressing the push-button ignition switch at that time, BCM starts the IVIS (NATS) antenna amplifier
integrated with the key slot and starts the IVIS (NATS) ID communication with the transponder integrated
with the Intelligent Key.
3. BCM sends the IVIS (NATS) ID verification result to ECM via CAN communication and performs the ID
verification.
4. If the IVIS (NATS) ID verification result is OK, BCM sends the key ID verification OK signal to Intelligent
Key unit via CAN communication line.
5. The Intelligent Key unit sends the steering unlock signal to the steering lock unit when receiving the sig-
nal. Then, it sends each power supply request signal to PDU (Power Distribution Unit) after unlocking the
steering lock.
6. If the Intelligent Key unit judges that the engine start condition is satisfied, it sends the starter request sig-
nal via CAN communication to IPDM E/R and turns the starter motor relay ON.
7. The steering lock unit unlocks the latch when receiving the signal. PDU starts the power distribution
according to the power supply position when receiving the signal.
NOTE:
If it is not in the engine start condition*, the starter motor relay is turned OFF. Therefore, the engine cannot be
started and the power distributions of ACC, ON, and LOCK are performed only according to the push-button
ignition switch operation.
*: For the engine start condition, refer to BL-247, "
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION PROCE-
DURE" .
OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CARRIED
By carrying the Intelligent Key, the engine start/stop operation can be performed only when pushing the push-
button ignition switch.
For the details of the function, refer to BL-125, "
INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM/ENGINE START FUNCTION" .
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 carried and when it is inserted to the key slot, the following operation is the
same.

When starting the engine, the Intelligent Key unit monitors the engine start conditions (brake pedal opera-
tion, A/T selector lever position, vehicle speed, and steering lock condition).
