ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING
This vehicle will handle and maneuver differ-
ently from an ordinary passenger car because it
has a higher center of gravity for off-road use. As
with other vehicles with features of this type,
failure to operate this vehicle correctly may re-
sult in loss of control or an accident.
For additional information, refer to “On-
pavement and off-road driving precautions”,
“Avoiding collision and rollover” and “Driving
safety precautions” in the “Starting and driv-
ing” section of this manual.
MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE
This vehicle should not be modified. Modifica-
tion could affect its performance, safety or dura-
bility and may even violate governmental regu-
lations. In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from modifications may not
be covered under INFINITI warranties.
WARNING
Installing an aftermarket On-Board Diagnostic
(OBD) plug-in device that uses the port during
normal driving, for example remote insurance
company monitoring, remote vehicle diagnos-
tics, telematics or engine reprogramming, may
cause interference or damage to vehicle sys-tems. We do not recommend or endorse the
use of any aftermarket OBD plug-in devices,
unless specifically approved by INFINITI. The
vehicle warranty may not cover damage
caused by any aftermarket plug-in device.

Instruments and controls2-89
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door locks using the remote control function or
touching the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or con-
ditions 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 ve-
hicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The
Intelligent Key system transmits 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 equipment,
such as a cellular telephone, transceiver or a
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 personal com-
puter.
•When the vehicle is parked near a parking
meter.
In such cases, correct the operating conditions
before using the Intelligent Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depend-
ing on the operating conditions, the battery’s
life is approximately two years. If the battery is
discharged, replace it with a new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, an
indicator illuminates in the vehicle information
display. For additional information, refer to
Safety systemsin the2. Instruments and
controlssection.Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiv-
ing radio waves, if the key is left near equip-
ment which transmits strong radio waves, such
as signals from a TV and personal computer, the
battery life may become shorter.
For additional information, refer toIntelligent
key battery replacementin the
8. Do-it-yourselfsection.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. For informa-
tion about the purchase and use of additional
Intelligent Keys, it is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer.
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.
