INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelli-
gent Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s
Intelligent Key System components and INFINITI
Vehicle 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 keys
must be registered prior to use with the Intelli-
gent Key System and INFINITI Vehicle Immobi-
lizer 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 key number. 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 occurrences
which will damage the Intelligent Key:
•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.
•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, immediately
wipe until it is completely dry.
•Do not place the Intelligent Key for an ex-
tended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 140
oF (60oC).
•Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a key
holder that contains a magnet.
•Do not place the Intelligent Key near equip-
ment 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 Intelli-
gent Key. This will prevent the Intelligent Key
from unauthorized use to unlock the vehicle. For
information regarding the erasing procedure,
please contact an INFINITI retailer.

MOD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
MOD. Failure to operate the vehicle in accor-
dance with these system limitations could re-
sult in serious injury or death.
•Do not use the MOD system when towing a
trailer (if available). The system may not
function properly.
•Excessive noise (for example, audio system
volume or open vehicle window) will inter-
fere with the chime sound, and it may not be
heard.
•The MOD system performance will be lim-
ited according to environmental conditions
and surrounding objects such as:– When there is low contrast between
background and the moving objects.
– When there is blinking source of light.
– When strong light such as another vehi-
cle’s headlight or sunlight is present.
– When camera orientation is not in its
usual position, such as when mirror is
folded. –
When there is dirt, water drops or snow
on the camera lens.
– When the position of the moving objects
in the display is not changed.
•The MOD system might detect something
like flowing water droplets on the camera
lens, white smoke from the muffler, moving
shadows, etc.
•The MOD system may not function properly
depending on the speed, direction, distance
or shape of the moving objects.
•If your vehicle sustains damage to the parts
where the camera is installed, leaving it
misaligned or bent, the sensing zone may
be altered and the MOD system may not
detect objects properly.
•When the temperature is extremely high or
low, the screen may not display objects
clearly. This is not a malfunction.
MOD MALFUNCTION
If the orange MOD icon is displayed in the view,
the system is not functioning properly. This will
not hinder normal driving operation, but the
system should be inspected. It is recommended
you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
•Do not use alcohol, benzine or thinner to
clean the cameras. This will cause discolor-
ation. To clean the cameras, wipe with a
cloth dampened with diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wipe with a dry cloth.
•Do not damage the cameras as the monitor
screen may be adversely affected.
If dirt, rain or snow accumulates on any of the
cameras
1, the MOD system may not operate
properly. Clean the cameras by wiping with a
cloth dampened with a diluted mild cleaning
agent and then wiping with a dry cloth.
NAA1689
4-40Display screen, heater and air conditioner, and audio system

WARNING
•The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
•Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and in-
jure themselves. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could quickly
become high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.
•Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to
become stale and the windows to fog up.
•Do not adjust the heating and air condition-
ing controls while driving so that full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate
even if the engine is turned off and the ignition
switch is in the ON position. NOTE
•Condensation forms inside the air condition-
ing unit when the air conditioner (if
equipped) is running, and is safely dis-
charged underneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore
normal.
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the ventilators.
When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.
Observe the settings recommended on the fol-
lowing pages. The windows could otherwise
mist up. To prevent the windows from misting
up
•Switch off climate control only briefly.
•Switch on air-recirculation mode only briefly.
•Switch on the cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion function.
•Switch on the windshield demisting function
briefly, if required. The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control regulates the temperature and the hu-
midity of the vehicle interior and filters unde-
sirable substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/automatic climate
control can only be operated when the engine is
running. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows closed.
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side panelling clear. Otherwise the vehicle will
not be ventilated correctly.
NOTE
•Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period during
warm weather. This will speed up the cooling
process and the desired interior temperature
will be reached more quickly.
•The integrated filter filters out most particles
of dust and soot and completely filters out
pollen. With automatic climate control, gas-
eous pollutants and odors will also be re-
duced. A clogged filter reduces the amount
of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For this
reason, you should always observe the inter-
val for replacing the filter, which is specified
in the Service Booklet. As this depends on
environmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pol-
lution, the interval may be shorter than
stated in the Service Booklet.
HEATER AND AIR CONDITIONER

Recommendation for air distribution in sum-
mer: select theorandsettings.
•Only use theWindshield demisting function
briefly until the windshield is clear again
•Only use air-recirculation mode briefly, e. g if
there are unpleasant outside odors or when
in a tunnel. The windows could otherwise
mist up as no fresh air is drawn into the
vehicle in air-recirculation mode
•If you change the settings of the climate
control system, the climate status display
appears for approximately three seconds at
the bottom of the screen in the central
display (see separate operating instruc-
tions). You will see the current settings of the
various climate control functions.

Activating/deactivating the cooling
with air dehumidification function
If you deactivate the Cooling with air dehumidi-
fication function, the air inside the vehicle will
not be cooled. The air inside the vehicle will
also not be dehumidified. The windows can mist
up more quickly. Therefore, only deactivate the
Cooling with air dehumidification function
briefly.
The Cooling with air dehumidification function
is only available when the engine is running.
The air inside the vehicle is cooled and dehu-
midified according to the temperature selected.
Condensation may drip from the underside of
the vehicle when cooling mode is active. This is
normal and not a sign that there is a malfunc-
tion.
To activate
:
Press thebutton The indicator lamp in
thebutton lights up.
To deactivate
:
Press thebutton. The indicator lamp in
thebutton goes out. The cooling with air
dehumidification function has a delayed switch-
