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-

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. FCC Notice:

INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelligent
Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s Intel-
ligent Key System components and INFINITI Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System components.
Never leave the keys in the vehicle.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. The new keysmust be registered prior to use with the Intelligent
Key System and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System of your vehicle. It is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. Since
the registration process requires erasing all
memory in the Intelligent Key components when
registering new keys, be sure to take all Intelligent
Keys that you have to the INFINITI retailer.
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, it is recommended that you visit an
INFINITI retailer for duplicates by using the keynumber. INFINITI does not record 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, it can be duplicated
without knowing the key number.
CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the Intelligent
Key:
●
Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which
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, im-
mediately wipe until it is completely dry.

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS
You can only drive your vehicle using the Intelli-
gent Keys which are registered to the INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System components in your
vehicle.
The mechanical key can be used for all the locks.
Never leave the keys in the vehicle.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System keys. Your existing key can
be duplicated without knowing the key number.
As many as four INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System keys can be used with one vehicle. You
should bring all INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem keys that you have to the INFINITI retailer for
registration. This is because the registration pro-
cess will erase the memory of all key codes
previously registered into the INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System. After the registration pro-
cess, these components will only recognize keys
coded into the INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer Sys-
tem during registration. Any key that is not given
to the retailer at the time of registration will no
longer be able to start your vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not allow the immobilizer system key,
which contains an electrical transponder,
to come into contact with water or salt
water. This could affect system function.When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be opened
using the inside or outside door handles. The
doors must be unlocked to open the doors.
WARNING
●
Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
● Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in seri-
ous accidents.
● Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance
of others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should also not be left alone. They
could accidentally injure themselves or
others through inadvertent operation of
the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to
people or animals.

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the hybrid system to start without the use of
the registered key.
If the hybrid system fails to start using the regis-
tered key, it may be due to interference caused by
another registered key, an automated toll road
device or automated payment device on the key
ring. Restart the hybrid system using the follow-
ing procedures:1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
3. Repeat Step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the hybrid system while holding the device (which may have caused the interfer-
ence) separate from the registered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, INFINITI rec-
ommends placing the registered key on a sepa-
rate key ring to avoid interference from other
devices. ●
Make sure the area around the vehicle is
clear.
● Check fluid levels such as engine oil, cool-
ant, brake fluid, and windshield-washer fluid
as frequently as possible, or at least when-
ever you refuel.
● Check that all windows and lights are clean.
● Visually inspect tires for their appearance
and condition. Also check tires for proper
inflation.
● Check that all doors are closed.
● Position seat and adjust head
restraints/headrests.
● Adjust inside and outside mirrors.
● Fasten seat belts and ask all passengers to
do likewise.
● Check the operation of warning lights when
the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion. For additional information, refer to
“Warning lights, indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual. 1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Move the shift lever to P (Park) or N (Neu-
tral) . P (Park) is recommended.
The INFINITI Direct Response Hybrid
System is designed not to operate if
the shift lever is in any of the driving
positions.
3. Depress the brake pedal and push the igni- tion switch to start the hybrid system. The
READY to drive indicator will illuminate on
the meter.
When starting the hybrid system at
very low outside temperatures, the
READY to drive indicator light will flash
and it may take longer for the READY
to drive indicator light to illuminate.
When the READY to drive indicator
light is flashing, it cannot be shifted
out of P (Park) .
NOTE:
Do not start the vehicle in the N (Neutral)
position (cold conditions only) . ● The hybrid system may not start even with
the READY to drive indicator light illumi-
nated. Once the READY to drive indicator
light is illuminated you may begin driving the
vehicle.
