cNever leave the Intelligent Key in the vehicle
when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The
Intelligent Key system transmits weak radio
waves. Environmental conditions may interfere
with the operation of the Intelligent Key system
under the following operating conditions.
c When operating near a location where strong
radio waves are transmitted, such as a TV
tower, power station and broadcasting sta-
tion.
c When in possession of wireless equipment,
such as a cellular telephone, transceiver,
and CB radio.
c When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or
covered by metallic materials.
c When any type of radio wave remote control
is used nearby.
c When the Intelligent Key is placed near an
electric appliance such as a personal com-
puter.
c When the vehicle is parked near a parking
meter. In such cases, correct the operating conditions
before using the Intelligent Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depend-
ing on the operating conditions, the battery's
life is approximately 2 years. If the battery is
discharged, replace it with a new one.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiv-
ing radio waves, if the key is left near equip-
ment which transmits strong radio waves, such
as signals from a TV and personal computer, the
battery life may become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of a
battery, see ªBATTERY REPLACEMENTº in the
ª8. Maintenance and do-it-yourselfº section.
Because the steering wheel is locked electri-
cally, unlocking the steering wheel with the
ignition switch in the LOCK position is impos-
sible when the vehicle battery is completely
discharged. Pay special attention that the ve-
hicle battery is not completely discharged.
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
and used with one vehicle. For information
about the purchase and use of additional Intel-
ligent Keys, contact an INFINITI retailer.CAUTION
c
Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which con-
tains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could
affect the system function.
c Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
c Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply
against another object.
c Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
c Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If
the Intelligent Key gets wet, immediately
wipe until it is completely dry.
c Do not place the Intelligent Key for an ex-
tended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 140ÉF (60ÉC).
c Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a key
holder that contains a magnet.
c Do not place the Intelligent Key near equip-
ment that produces a magnetic field, such as
a TV, audio equipment, personal computers
or cellular phones.

WARNING
cDo not adjust the steering wheel while driv-
ing. You could lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
c Do not adjust the steering wheel any closer
to you than is necessary for proper steering
operation and comfort. The driver's air bag
inflates with great force. If you are unre-
strained, leaning forward, sitting sideways
or out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a crash. You
may also receive serious or fatal injuries
from the air bag if you are up against it when
it inflates. Always sit back against the seat-
back and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat belts.
TILT OR TELESCOPIC OPERATION
Move the lever to adjust the steering wheel up
or down, forward or rearward to the desired
position.
Entry/Exit function operation
The automatic drive positioner system will
make the steering wheel move up automatically
when the driver's door is opened with the
ignition switch in the LOCK position. This lets
the driver get into and out of the seat more
easily.
For more information, see ªAUTOMATIC DRIVE
POSITIONERº later in this section.

The automatic drive positioner system has the
following features:
cEntry/exit function
c Memory storage
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION
This system is designed so that the driver's seat
and steering column will automatically move
when the selector lever is in the P (Park)
position. This allows the driver to get into and
out of the driver's seat more easily.
The driver's seat will slide backward and the
steering wheel will move up when the driver's
door is opened with the ignition switch in the
LOCK position.
The driver's seat and steering wheel will return
to the previous positions when one of the
following is operated:
cWhen the ignition switch is pushed to the
ACC position after the driver's door is
closed.
c When the ignition switch is pushed to the
ON position.
c When the Intelligent Key is inserted into the
port after the driver's door is closed. The driver's seat will not return to the previous
positions if the seat or steering adjusting
switch is operated when the seat is at the exit
position.
Cancel or activate entry/exit function
To cancel or activate the entry/exit function, the
selector lever must be in the P (Park) position
with the ignition switch in the LOCK position.
Push and hold the SET switch for more than 10
seconds to cancel or activate the entry/exit
function.
The indicator lights on the memory switches (1
and 2) will blink once when the function is
canceled, and the indicator lights will blink
twice when the function is activated.
The entry/exit function can also be canceled or
activated if the ªLift Steering Wheel on Exitº key
or ªSlide Driver Seat Back on Exitº key is turned
to ON or OFF in the ªComfort & Conv.º settings.
(See ªVEHICLE INFORMATION AND SETTINGSº in
the ª4. Monitor, climate, audio, phone and
voice recognition systemsº section.)
Initialize entry/exit function
If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the
fuse opens, the entry/exit function will not work
though this function was set on before. In such
a case, after connecting the battery or replacing
with a new fuse, open and close the driver's
door more than two times after the ignition
switch is pushed to the ON position once, then
pushed to the LOCK position. The entry/exit
function will be activated.
