The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior
or exterior vehicle components in all situations.
Always secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your Intelligent Key(s)
in the vehicle, and always lock it when unat-
tended. Be aware of your surroundings, and
park in secure, well-lit areas whenever pos-
sible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification mark-
ers, and tracking systems, are available at auto
supply stores and specialty shops. Your INFINITI
retailer may also offer such equipment. Check
with your insurance company to see if you may
be eligible for discounts for various theft pro-
tection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.The system can be armed even if the win-
dows are open.
2. Push the ignition switch to the OFF posi- tion.
3. Remove the Intelligent Key from the ve- hicle.
4. Close all doors, hood and lift gate. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with
the Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch, power door lock switch or me-
chanical key. 5. Confirm that the security indicator light
comes on. The security indicator light
stays on for about 30 seconds. The ve-
hicle security system is now pre-armed.
After about 30 seconds the vehicle secu-
rity system automatically shifts into the
armed phase. The security light begins to
flash once every approximately 3 sec-
onds. If, during this 30-second pre-arm
time period, the door is unlocked, or the
ignition switch is pushed to ACC or ON,
the system will not arm.
Even when the driver and/or passengers are in
the vehicle, the system will activate with all
doors, hood, and lift gate locked with the igni-
tion switch in the LOCK position. When pushing
the ignition switch to the ACC or ON position, the
system will be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the follow-
ing alarm:
● The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.
● The alarm automatically turns off after ap-
proximately 50 seconds. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again.

possible. Please bring all Intelligent Keys that
you have when visiting an INFINITI retailer for
service.WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer solution
may freeze on the window and obscure your
vision which may lead to an accident. Warm the
window with the defroster before you wash the
window.
CAUTION
●Do not operate the washer continuously for
more than 30 seconds.
● Do not operate the washer if the reservoir
tank is empty.
● Do not fill the window washer reservoir tank
with washer fluid concentrates at full
strength. Some methyl alcohol based
washer fluid concentrates may permanently
stain the grille if spilled while filling the win-
dow washer reservoir tank.
● Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with wa-
ter to the manufacturer’s recommended lev-
els before pouring the fluid into the window
washer reservoir tank. Do not use the win-
dow washer reservoir tank to mix the washer
fluid concentrate and water. If the windshield wiper operation is interrupted
by snow or ice, the wiper may stop moving to
protect its motor. If this occurs, turn the wiper
switch to the OFF position and remove the snow
or ice that is on and around the wiper arms. In
approximately 1 minute, turn the switch on again
to operate the wiper.

jury or a wiper damage.
● The rain-sensing auto wipers are intended for
use during rain. If the switch is left in the INT
position, the wipers may operate unexpect-
edly when dirt, fingerprints, oil film or insects
are stuck on or around the sensor. The wipers
may also operate when exhaust gas or mois-
ture affect the rain sensor.
● The rain-sensing auto wipers may not oper-
ate if rain does not hit the rain sensor even if
it is raining.
REAR WINDOW WIPER AND WASHER

by snow etc., the wiper may stop moving to pro-
tect its motor. If this occurs, turn the wiper

XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
● When xenon headlights are on, they produce
a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock,
never attempt to modify or disassemble. Al-
ways have your xenon headlights replaced
at an INFINITI retailer.
● Xenon headlights provide considerably
more light than conventional headlights. If
they are not correctly aimed, they might
temporarily blind an oncoming driver or the
driver ahead of you and cause a serious acci-
dent. If headlights are not aimed correctly,
immediately take your vehicle to an INFINITI
retailer and have the headlights adjusted
correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned on,
its brightness or color varies slightly. However,
the color and brightness will soon stabilize. ●
The life of xenon headlights will be shortened
by frequent on-off operation. It is generally
desirable not to turn off the headlights for
short intervals (for example, when the ve-
hicle stops at a traffic signal). Even when the
daytime running lights are active (Canada
only), the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon headlights is
not reduced.
● If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burn-
ing out, the brightness will drastically de-
crease, the light will start blinking, or the
color of the light will become reddish. If one
or more of the above signs appear, contact an
INFINITI retailer.
