2020 INFINITI QX60 battery

∙ When the Intelligent Key is placed near anelectric appliance such as a personal
computer.
∙ When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key function
or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the bat-
tery’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 informa-
tion display. For additional information, refer
to “Vehicle information display” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may become
shorter.
For additional information, refer to “Battery
replacement” in the “Do-it-yourself” section
of this manual. As many as four Intelligent Keys can be reg-
istered and used with one vehicle. For infor-
mation about the purchase and use of addi-
tional 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
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, immedi-
ately 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 from the vehicle. This may pre-
vent the unauthorized use of the Intelligent
Key to operate the vehicle. For information
regarding the erasing procedure, it is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer.
