INFINITI Intelligent Key System
The INFINITI Intelligent Key System allows you to lock
or unlock your vehicle, open your liftgate and start the
engine. It is important to make sure the Intelligent Key is
with you (that is, in your pocket or purse).
LOCKING AND UNLOCKING YOUR VEHICLE

The operating range of the Intelligent Key is within
31.5 in (80 cm) from each request switch.

To lock the vehicle, push either door handle request
switch
1 or the liftgate request switch 2 or press
the
button 3 on the key fob.

To unlock the vehicle, perform one of the
following procedures:
• Push either door handle request switch
1 or the liftgate request
switch
2; the corresponding door will unlock. Push the door handle
request switch
1 or the liftgate request switch 2 again within 1
minute; all other doors will unlock, or
• Press the
button 4 on the key fob to unlock the driver’s side
door. Press the
button 4 again; all other doors will unlock.

The Intelligent Key can also be used to activate the panic alarm by
pressing and holding the
button 5 for more than 1 second. Once
activated, the panic alarm and headlights will stay on for a period
of time.
INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY DISCHARGE

If the battery in the Intelligent Key is almost
discharged, the guide light
6 of the Intelligent Key
port blinks and the Intelligent Key insertion indicator
7 is displayed in the vehicle information display.

To start the engine under these circumstances,
insert the Intelligent Key into the key port with the
key ring side facing backward until it latches into
place. Then push the ignition switch to start
the engine.

To remove the Intelligent Key from the port, push the
ignition switch to turn the engine off and then pull
the Intelligent Key out of the port.

The Intelligent Key port does not charge the
Intelligent Key battery. If you see the Intelligent
Key warning light

Intelligent Key.

Do not insert the mechanical key or other objects into
the key port because they will damage the key port.

Bluetooth® Streaming Audio with Navigation (if so equipped)
If you have a compatible Bluetooth® device with streaming audio (A2DP and AVRCP
profiles), you can set up the wireless connection between your Bluetoot\
h® device and your
vehicle’s audio system. This connection allows you to listen to audio\
from the Bluetooth®
device using your vehicle’s speakers.

A cellular telephone should not be used while driving so full attention \
may be given to
vehicle operation.*

To use your connected Bluetooth® device to
stream audio, it will need to be connected as an
audio device. The following procedure will initially
connect a Bluetooth
® device as an audio player and
allow you to switch between devices.
1. Press the SETTING button on the control panel
and touch the “Bluetooth” key on
the display.
2. Select “Connected Devices”.
3. Select “Audio Player”.
4. Select the name of the device that you are
attempting to connect as an audio player.
5. Select “Select”.
6. Verify that the system confirms that the device
has been selected as an audio player.

Once your Bluetooth® device has been connected
as an audio device, push the DISC•AUX button on
the control panel to select the Bluetooth
® Streaming
Audio player.

Bluetooth® connectivity issues can usually be
resolved with a reboot of your cellular phone if you
do not regularly turn off your cellular phone. Otherwise, try updating y\
our cellular phone
with the latest software.
For more information, refer to the “Monitor, climate, audio, phone and voice recognition systems (section 4\
) ” of your Owner’s
Manual or visit www.InfinitiUSA.com/bluetooth.
