WARNING
. Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufacturer
for the possible influences before use.
. The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pushed.
The FAA advises that the radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate the
Intelligent Key while on an airplane.
Make sure the buttons are not operated
unintentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the door and the trunk lid lock using the
remote controller function or pushing the
request switch on the vehicle without
taking the key out from a pocket or purse.
The operating environment and/or condi-
tions may affect the Intelligent Key system
operation.
Be sure to read the following before using
the Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
.Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicat-
ing with the vehicle as it receives radio
waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-
mits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere with the operation
of the Intelligent Key system under the
following operating conditions.
.When operating near a location where
strong radio waves are transmitted,
such as a TV tower, power station and
broadcasting station.
. When in possession of wireless equip-
ment, such as a cellular telephone,
transceiver, and CB radio.
. When the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by metallic materials.
. When any type of radio wave remote
control is used nearby.
. When the Intelligent Key is placed near
an electric appliance such as a perso-

nal computer.
. When the vehicle is parked near a
parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key
function or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies
depending on the operating conditions,
the battery’s life is approximately 2 years.
If the battery is discharged, replace it with
a new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost
discharged, insert the Intelligent Key into
the Intelligent Key port to start the engine.
For more details, see “Push-button ignition
switch” (P.5-9). Replace the discharged
battery with a new one as soon as
possible.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously
receiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment 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 “Intelligent Key battery repla-
cement” (P.8-24).
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered and used with one vehicle. For
information about the purchase and use of
additional Intelligent Keys, contact an
INFINITI retailer.

contains electrical components, to come
into contact with water or salt water.
This could affect the system function.
. Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
. Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply
against another object.
. Do not change or modify the Intelligent
Key.
. Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key.
If the Intelligent Key gets wet, immedi-
ately wipe until it is completely dry.
. If the outside temperature is below 148F
(−108C) degrees, the battery of the
Intelligent Key may not function prop-
erly.
. Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in an area where
temperatures exceed 1408F (608C). .
Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a
key holder that contains a magnet.
. Do not place the Intelligent Key near
equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment
and personal computers.If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen,
INFINITI recommends erasing the ID code
of that Intelligent Key from the vehicle. This
may prevent the unauthorized use of the
Intelligent Key to operate the vehicle. For
information regarding the erasing proce-
dure, contact an INFINITI retailer.
