< SERVICE INFORMATION >
VEHICLE SECURITY (THEFT WARNING) SYSTEM
When headlamp high relay (with built-in IPDM E/R) and horn relay are energized and then power is supplied
to headlamps (LH and RH) and horns (HIGH and LOW).
The headlamps flash and the horn sounds intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off after 50 seconds, but will reactivate if the vehicle is tampered with again.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM DEACTIVATION
To deactivate the vehicle security system, a door or the back door must be unlocked with the key, key fob or
Intelligent Key.
When the key is used to unlock a door, BCM terminal 22 receives signal
 from terminal 14 of the power window ma in switch (door lock and unlock switch).
When the BCM receives either one of these signals or unl ock signal from key cylinder switch, key fob or Intel-
ligent Key, the vehicle security sy stem is deactivated. (Disarmed phase)
PANIC ALARM OPERATION
Remote keyless entry system may or may not operat e vehicle security system (horn and headlamps) as
required.
When the remote keyless entry system is triggered, ground is supplied intermittently from IPDM E/R terminals
38 and 60.
When headlamp relay (which built-in IPDM E/R) and hor n relay are energized and then power is supplied to
headlamps (LH and RH) and horns (HIGH and LOW).
The headlamp flashes and the hor n sounds intermittently.
The alarm automatically turns off after 25 seconds or when BCM receives any signal from key fob or Intelligent
Key.
CAN Communication System DescriptionINFOID:0000000001327906
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication s peed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CA N communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.

PRECAUTIONS
 To prevent serious burns:Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
 Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in an appropriate manner.
 Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
 Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent prior to inspection or assembly.
 Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
 Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
 Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
 Do not touch the terminals of electrical com ponents which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
 After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, atta ch a tag to indicate the proper connection.
 Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
 Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
 Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
 When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.
 Before servicing the vehicle: Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate covers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic tro uble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine cont rol system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected on ly when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precaution for Three Way CatalystINFOID:0000000001325655
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst , the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
 Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
 When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when nec- essary.
 Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the
catalyst.

TOW TRUCK TOWING
Tow Truck TowingINFOID:0000000001325684
CAUTION:
 All applicable state or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.
 It is necessary to use proper towi ng equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during tow-
ing operation. To wing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.
 Always attach safety chains before towing.
 When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and powertrain are in good order. If
any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.
 Never tow an automatic transmission model from the rear (that is backward) with four wheels on the
ground. This may cause serious and exp ensive damage to the transmission.
2WD MODELS
INFINITI recommends that vehicle be towed with the dr iving (rear) wheels off the ground or that a dolly be
used as illustrated.
CAUTION:
 Never tow automatic transmission models with the r ear wheels on the ground or four wheels on the
ground (forward or backward), as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmis-
sion.
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the fron t wheels raised, always use towing dollies under the
rear wheels.
 When towing rear wheel drive mo dels with the front wheels on the ground or on towing dollies:
- Turn the ignition key to the OFF position, and secure the steering wh eel in a straight ahead position
with a rope or similar device.Never secure the st eering wheel by turning the ignition key to the LOCK
position. This may damage the steering lock mechanism.
- Move the selector lever to the N (Neutral) position.
 When the battery of vehicle equipped with the Intelligent Key system is discharged, your vehicle
should be towed with the front wh eels on towing dollies or place the vehicle on a flat bed truck.
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, re move the propeller shaft before towing to prevent dam-
age to the transmission.

Vehicle Recovery (Freeing a Stuck Vehicle)INFOID:0000000001325685
Securely install the vehicle recovery hook stored with jacking tools.
Make sure that the hook is properly secured in the stored place after
use.
WARNING:
 Stand clear of a stuck vehicle.
 Do not spin your tires at high speed. This could cause them to
explode and result in serious injury. Parts of your vehicle
could also overheat and be damaged.
CAUTION:
 Tow chains or cables must be attached only to the vehicle recovery hooks or main struct ural members of the vehicle.
Otherwise, the vehicle body will be damaged.
 Do not use the vehicle tie downs to free a vehicle stuck in
sand, snow, mud, etc. Never to w the vehicle using the vehicle
tie downs or recovery hooks.
 Always pull the cable straight out from the front of the vehicle.
Never pull on the hook at an angle.
 Pulling devices should be rout ed so they do not touch any
part of the suspension, steer ing, brake or cooling systems.
 Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas straps are not rec- ommended for use in vehicle towing or recovery.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
