A key number plate is supplied with your keys.
Record the key number and keep it in a safe
place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle. If
you lose your keys, see an INFINITI retailer for
duplicates by using the key number. INFINITI
does not record any key numbers so it is very
important to keep track of your key number
plate.
A key number is only necessary when you have
lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate
from. If you still have a key, this key can be
duplicated by an INFINITI retailer.

2. Mechanical key (inside Intelligent Key) (2)
3. Key number plate (1)
INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelli-
gent Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s
Intelligent Key system components and INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System components. As
many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
and used with one vehicle. The new keys must
be registered by an INFINITI retailer prior to use
with the Intelligent Key system and INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System of your vehicle.
Since the registration process requires erasing
all memory in the Intelligent Key componentswhen registering new keys, be sure to take all
Intelligent Keys that you have to the INFINITI
retailer.
CAUTION
●
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you
when driving. The Intelligent Key is a preci-
sion device with a built-in transmitter. To
avoid damaging it, please note the
following.
– The Intelligent Key is water resistant; however, wetting may damage the Intelli-
gent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet,
immediately wipe until it is completely
dry.
– Do not bend, drop or strike it against an- other object.
– Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in a place where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
– Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
– Do not use a magnet key holder.
– Do not place the Intelligent Key near an electric appliance such as a television set
or personal computer.

– Do not allow the Intelligent Key to comeinto contact with water or salt water, and
do not wash it in a washing machine. This
could affect the system function.
● If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, INFINITI
recommends erasing the ID code of that In-
telligent Key. This will prevent the Intelli-
gent Key from unauthorized use to unlock
the vehicle. For information regarding the
erasing procedure, please contact an
INFINITI retailer.

doors and the glove box.
See “DOORS” later in this section, “STORAGE”
in the “2. Instruments and controls” section.
CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key installed in
the Intelligent Key.
VALET HAND-OFF
When you have to leave a key with a valet, give
them the Intelligent Key itself and keep the
mechanical key with you to protect your belong-
ings.
To prevent the glove box from being opened
during valet hand-off, follow the procedures
below.
1. Remove the mechanical key from the In- telligent Key.
2. Lock the glove box with the mechanical key.
3. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet, keeping the mechanical key in your

WARNING
●Always have the doors locked while driving.
Along with the use of seat belts, this pro-
vides greater safety in the event of an acci-
dent by helping to prevent persons from be-
ing thrown from the vehicle. This also helps
keep children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help keep
out intruders.
● Before opening any door, always look for and
avoid oncoming traffic.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious accidents.
LOCKING WITH MECHANICAL KEY
The power door lock system allows you to lock
or unlock all doors simultaneously using the
mechanical key.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder to the
front of the vehicle
1will lock all doors.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder once
to the rear of the vehicle
2will unlock the
driver’s door. After returning the key to the
neutral position
3, turning it to the rear
again within 60 seconds will unlock all
doors.
● You can switch the lock system to the mode
that allows you to open all the doors when
the key is turned once. (See “HOW TO USE SETTING BUTTON” in the “4. Monitor, cli-
mate, audio, phone and voice recognition
systems” section.)
OPENING AND CLOSING WINDOWS
WITH THE MECHANICAL KEY
The driver’s door key operation also allows you
to open and close all door windows.
To open the windows, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the rear of the vehicle for
longer than
1 second . The door is unlocked and the window
keeps opening while turning the key.
This function can also be performed by pushing
and holding the door UNLOCK button of the
Intelligent Key. (See “REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM” later in this section.)
To close the windows, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the front of the vehicle for longer
than 1 second . The door is locked and the
