Your vehicle has two types of security sys-
tems:
∙ 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 can-
not prevent it nor can it prevent the theft of

interior or exterior vehicle components in all
situations. Always secure your vehicle even if
parking for a brief period. Never leave your
Intelligent Key in the vehicle, and always lock
the vehicle 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. An
INFINITI retailer may also offer such equip-
ment. Check with your insurance company to
see if you may be eligible for discounts for
various theft protection features.
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows and the moonroof.The system can be armed even if the
windows and moonroof are open.
2. Remove the Intelligent Key from the ve- hicle.
3. Close all doors, hood and liftgate. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with
the Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch, power door lock switch or me-
chanical key (if so equipped). Key fob operation:
4. Confirm that the
indicator light
comes on. The
indicator stays illu-
minated for a period of time indicating
that the system is in the pre-armed
phase.
The
indicator light will blink every
3 seconds once the security system is
armed.
If during the pre-armed phase one of the
following occurs, the system will not
arm:
∙ Any door is unlocked with the me- chanical key (if so equipped).
∙ A door is opened with the release but- ton with the Intelligent Key on your
person.
∙ The doors are unlocked using the un- lock button on the Intelligent Key.
∙ The ignition switch is placed in the ACC or ON position. ∙
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will acti-
vate when all the doors, hood and lift-
gate are locked with the ignition switch
placed in the LOCK position. When plac-
ing the ignition switch in the ACC or ON
position, the system will be released.Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the fol-
lowing alarm:
∙ The turn signals blink and the horn sounds intermittently.
∙ The alarm automatically turns off after a period of time. However, the alarm reac-
tivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again. The alarm can be shut off by un-
locking the driver’s door or liftgate with
the key or by pressing the
button
on the Intelligent Key.
The alarm is activated by:
∙ Opening the door or liftgate without us- ing the key or Intelligent Key (even if the
door is unlocked by releasing the door

XENON HEADLIGHTS
(if so equipped)
WARNING
cHIGH VOLTAGE
∙ When xenon headlights are on, they pro-
duce a high voltage. To prevent an elec-
tric shock, never attempt to modify or
disassemble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced by a certified service
technician. It is recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
∙ Xenon headlights provide considerably more light than conventional headlights.
If they are not correctly aimed, they
might temporarily blind an oncoming
driver or the driver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. If headlights are
not aimed correctly, immediately take
your vehicle to a certified service techni-
cian and have the headlights adjusted
correctly.
When the xenon headlight is initially turned
on, its brightness or color varies slightly.
However, the color and brightness will soon
stabilize.

shortened by frequent on-off operation.
It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (for ex-
ample, when the vehicle stops at a traffic
signal).
∙ If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start blink-
