SIC2132
Your vehicle has two types of security
systems, as follows:
. Vehicle security system
. INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audio alarm signals if someone opens
the doors, hood, or trunk lid 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 compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your Intelligent Key(s) in the
vehicle, and always lock it 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 com-
pany to see if you may be eligible for
discounts for various theft protection fea-
tures.

Security indicator light
The security indicator light is located on the
meter panel. It indicates the status of the
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System.
The light blinks after the ignition switch was
in the LOCK, ACC or OFF position. This
function indicates the security systems
equipped on the vehicle are operational.
If the INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System is
malfunctioning, this light will remain on
while the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
If the light still remains on and/or the
engine will not start, seek service for the
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System assoon as possible. Please bring all registered
keys that you have. It is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
Instruments and controls2-31
3-2Pre-driving checks and adjustments
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 recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
duplicates by using the key number. INFINITI
does not record any 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.

INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to your
vehicle’s Intelligent Key system components
and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
components. As many as 4 Intelligent Keys
can be registered and used with one vehicle.
The new keys must be registered by an
INFINITI retailer prior to use with the
Intelligent Key system and INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System of your vehicle. 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.
It is possible that the Intelligent Key func-
tions become canceled. Contact an INFINITI
retailer.
CAUTION
.
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key
with you when driving. The Intelli-
gent Key is a precision device with a
built-in transmitter. To avoid dama-
ging it, please note the following.
— The Intelligent Key is water re- sistant; however, wetting may
damage the Intelligent Key. If the
Intelligent Key gets wet, immedi-
ately wipe until it is completely
dry.
— Do not bend, drop or strike it against another object.
— If the outside temperature is below 14°F (−10°C), the battery
of the Intelligent Key may not
function properly.
— Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in a place
