you can drive the vehicle. However in these
cases, contact an INFINITI retailer for repair as
soon as possible.Your vehicle has two types of security systems:
●Vehicle security system
●INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audible alarm signals if someone opens the
doors, liftgate or hood when the system is armed.
It is not, however, a motion detection type system
that activates when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.
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. Al-ways secure your vehicle even if parking for a
brief period. Never leave your Intelligent Key in
the vehicle, and always lock the vehicle when
unattended. Be aware of your surroundings, and
park in secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection, such
as component locks, identification markers, 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 protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows and the moonroof.The
system can be armed even if the win-
dows and moonroof are open.
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.
3. Close all doors, hood and liftgate. Lock all
doors. The doors can be locked with the
Intelligent Key, door handle request switch
or power door lock switch.

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of a
registered INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
key.If the engine fails to start using a registered
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System key (for ex-
ample, when interference is caused by another
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System key, an au-
tomated toll road device or automatic payment
device on the key ring) , restart the engine using
the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or
LOCK position, and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered INFINITI Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, INFINITI rec-
ommends placing the registered INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System key on a separate key ring to
avoid interference from other devices.

XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
cHIGH VOLTAGE
●When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to modify
or disassemble. Always have your xe-
non headlights replaced at an INFINITI
retailer.
●Xenon headlights provide considerably
more light than conventional head-
lights. If they are not correctly aimed,
they might temporarily blind an oncom-
ing driver or the driver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. 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 opera-
tion. It is generally desirable not to turn
off the headlights for short intervals
(for example, when the vehicle stops at
a traffic signal) .
●If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start blink-
ing, or the color of the light will become
reddish. If one or more of the above
signs appear, contact an INFINITI re-
tailer.

The warning systems switch is used to turn on
and off the warning systems (Forward Collision
Warning (FCW) , Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) and Blind Spot Warning (BSW) systems)
that are activated using the settings menu on the
vehicle information display (VID) .
When the warning systems switch is turned off,
the indicator
1on the switch is off. The indicator
will also be off if all of the warning systems aredeactivated using the settings menu.
The FCW system will sound a warning chime and
the vehicle ahead detection indicator light blinks
to alert the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to
the vehicle ahead. (See “Forward Collision
Warning (FCW) system” in the “Starting and
driving” section) .
The LDW system will sound a warning chime and
blink LDW/LDP indicator light (orange) to alert
the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to either
the left or the right of a traveling lane with detect-
able lane markers. (See “Lane Departure Warn-
ing (LDW) system/Lane Departure Prevention
(LDP) system” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion) .
The BSW system will turn on the BSW/Blind
Spot Intervention (BSI) indicator lights, located
next to the outside mirrors, if the radar sensors
detect a vehicle in the detection zone. If the turn
signal is activated in the direction of the detected
vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the BSW/BSI
indicator light will flash. (See “Blind Spot Warn-
ing (BSW) system/Blind Spot Intervention™

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND
GATE OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmit-
ter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission – which may not be long
enough for HomeLink® to pick up the signal
during training. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to “tim-
eout” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
training a gate operatororgarage door opener
by using the “Training” procedures,replace
“Programming HomeLink®”Step 2with the fol-
lowing:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible damage to the
garage door opener components.
1. See “Programing HomeLink®” step 1 earlier
in this section.
2. Using both hands, simultaneously press and
hold the desired HomeLink® button and the
hand-held transmitter button. During train-
ing, your hand-held transmitter may auto-
matically stop transmitting. Continue topress and hold the desired HomeLink® but-
ton while you press and re-press (“cycle”)
your hand-held transmitter every two sec-
onds until the frequency signal has been
learned. The HomeLink® indicator light will
flash slowly and then rapidly after several
seconds upon successful training. DO NOT
release until the HomeLink® indicator light
flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons
may be released. The rapid flashing indi-
cates successful training.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®”
step 3 to complete.
If the device was unplugged during the pro-
gramming procedure, remember to plug it
back in when programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HOMELINK®
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
