•Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and

INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intel-
ligent Keys which are registered to your vehi-
cle's Intelligent Key System components and
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents.
Never leave the keys in the vehicle.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be reg-
istered and used with one vehicle. The new
keys must be registered prior to use with the
Intelligent Key System and INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System of your vehicle. It is rec-
ommended 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 re-
cord 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
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.
•Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
•Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a
key holder that contains a magnet.
•Do not place the Intelligent Key near
equipment 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 In-
telligent Key. This will prevent the Intelligent
Key from unauthorized use to unlock the ve-
hicle. For information regarding the erasing
procedure, please contact an INFINITI re-
tailer.
Mechanical key
CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key installed
in the Intelligent Key.

telligent Key.

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS
You can only drive your vehicle using the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to the
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents 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 Ve-
hicle 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 System keys
that you have to the INFINITI retailer for
registration. This is because the registration
process will erase the memory of all key
codes previously registered into the INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System. After the regis-
tration process, these components will only
recognize keys coded into the INFINITI Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System 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.
