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 liftgate 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.
SIC2045
How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.
The system can be armed even if the
windows are open.
2. Push the ignition switch to the OFF position.
3. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.
4. 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.
SECURITY SYSTEMS

5. Confirm that the security indicator lightcomes on. The security indicator light
stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-
armed. After about 30 seconds the
vehicle security system automatically
shifts into the armed phase. The security
light begins to flash once every approxi-
mately 3 seconds. If, during this 30-
second pre-arm time period, the door is
unlocked, or the ignition switch is pushed
to ACC or ON, the system will not arm.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors, hood, and liftgate locked
with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position. When pushing the ignition switch
to the ACC or ON position, the system will
be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
. The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.
. The alarm automatically turns off after
approximately 50 seconds. However, the
alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tam-
pered with again. The alarm is activated by:
.
Unlocking the door or opening the lift-
gate without using the button on the
Intelligent Key, the door handle request
switch or the mechanical key. (Even if the
door is opened by releasing the door
inside lock knob, the alarm will activate.)
. Opening the hood.
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm will stop when a door is unlocked
by pushing the unlock button on the Intelli-
gent Key, the door handle request switch or
using the mechanical key, or when the
ignition switch is pushed to the ACC or ON
position.
If the system does not operate as described
above, it is recommended you have it
checked by an INFINITI retailer.

The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
will not allow the engine to start without
the use of the registered Intelligent Key.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.

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

RAIN-SENSING AUTO WIPER
SYSTEM
The rain-sensing auto wiper system can
automatically turn on the wipers and adjust
the wiper speed depending on the rainfall
and the vehicle speed by using the rain
sensor located on the upper part of the
windshield.
To set the rain-sensing auto wiper system,
push the lever down to the AUTO position
. The wiper will sweep once while the
ignition switch is in the ON position.
The rain sensor sensitivity level can be
adjusted by turning the knob toward the
front
(High) or toward the rear(Low). .
High — High sensitive operation
. Low — Low sensitive operation
To turn the rain-sensing auto wiper system
off, push up the lever to the OFF position, or
pull down the lever to the LO or HI position.
CAUTION
Do not touch the rain sensor and around
it when the wiper switch is in the AUTO
position and the ignition switch is in the
ON position. The wipers may operate
unexpectedly and cause to an injury or
may damage a wiper.
. The rain-sensing auto wipers are in-
tended for use during rain. If the switch
is left in the AUTO position, the wipers
may operate unexpectedly when dirt,
fingerprints, oil film or insects are stuck
on or around the sensor. The wipers may
also operate when exhaust gas or
moisture affect the rain sensor.
. The rain-sensing auto wipers may not
operate if rain does not hit the rain
sensor even if it is raining.
. When the windshield glass is coated
with water repellent, the speed of the
rain-sensing auto wipers may be higher
even though the amount of the rainfall is
small. .
Be sure to turn off the rain-sensing auto
wiper system when you use a car wash.
. When the ignition switch is in the ON
position and the vehicle speed is below
approximately 5 MPH (8 km/h) with
the shift lever in the N (Neutral) posi-
tion, the rain-sensing auto wipers will
not operate.
. Using genuine wiper blades is recom-
mended for proper operation of the
rain-sensing auto wiper system. (See
“Windshield wiper blades” (P.8-15) for
wiper blade replacement.)
