light stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-armed.
The vehicle security system will automati-
cally shift into the armed phase. The
security light begins to flash once every
three seconds. If during the pre-armed
phase one of the following occurs, the
system will not arm:
• Any door is unlocked with the Intelligent Key or door request switch.
• Ignition switch is placed in AUTO ACC or ON position.
• Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all the doors, hood and liftgate locked
with the ignition switch placed in the
LOCK position. When placing the ignition
switch in the AUTO 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 reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm can be shut off by pressing the
button on the Intelligent Key.
The alarm is activated by:
• Opening the door or liftgate without using the Intelligent Key (even if the door is un-
locked by releasing the door inside lock
switch).
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm stops only by unlocking the driver’s
door or the liftgate by pressing the
button on the Intelligent Key or pushing the
request switch on the driver's or passenger's
door with the Intelligent Key in range of the

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will
not allow the engine to start without the use
of a registered INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System key. If the engine fails to start using a registered
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System key (for
example, when interference is caused by an-
other INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
key, an automated toll road device or auto-
matic payment device on the key ring), restart
the engine using the following procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON posi-
tion for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately
10 seconds.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Restart the engine while holding the de- vice (which may have caused the interfer-
ence) separate from the registered
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, INFINITI
recommends placing the registered INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System key on a separate
key ring to avoid interference from other
devices.

If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the LED DRL system does
not illuminate. The LED DRL system illumi-
nates when the parking brake is released. The
LED DRL system will remain on until the
ignition switch is placed in the OFF position.
It is necessary at dusk to turn the headlight
switch on for interior controls and switches
to illuminate, as those remain off while the
switch is in the OFF position.
WARNING

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
AND GATE OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) af-
ter several seconds of transmission – which
may not be long enough for HomeLink® to
pick up the signal during training. Similar to
this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators
are designed to “timeout” in the same
manner. If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-
culties training a gate operator

NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible damage to the
garage door opener components.

Laws in some local communities may restrict
or prohibit the use of Remote Engine Start, or
the amount of time a parked vehicle engine
may idle. For example, some laws require a
person using Remote Engine Start to have
the vehicle in view or may restrict idling time
except in freezing temperatures. Check local
regulations for any requirements.
Other conditions may affect the function of
the Remote Engine Start feature. For addi-
tional information, see “Conditions the Re-
mote Engine Start will not work” (P. 3-20).

OPERATING RANGE
WARNING
• To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended in your ve-
hicle. Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to cause a
significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
• Do not use Remote Engine Start in closed
spaces such as a garage. Do not breathe
exhaust gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause un-
consciousness or death.
CAUTION
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating lo-
cation, the Intelligent Key operating range
becomes narrower, and the Intelligent Key
may not function properly.
The Remote Engine Start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the vehicle.
The Remote Engine Start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.

TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator
When adding air to an under-inflated tire, the
TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator provides
visual and audible signals outside the vehicle
to help you inflate the tires to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure.
Vehicle set-up:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and press thepark button to engage the P (Park)
position.
3. Place the ignition switch in the ON posi- tion. Do not start the engine.
Operation:
1. Add air to the tire.
2. After a few seconds, the hazard indicators will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the hazard indi-
cators stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire. • If the tire is over-inflated more than ap-proximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators flash
three times. To correct the pressure,
push the core of the valve stem on the tire briefly to release pressure. When the
pressure reaches the designated pres-
sure, the horn beeps once.
• If the hazard indicator does not flash within approximately 15 seconds after
starting to inflate the tire, it indicates
that the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indi-
cator is not operating.
• The TPMS will not activate the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator under the
following conditions:– If there is interference from an exter- nal device or transmitter.
– The air pressure from the inflation de- vice is not sufficient to inflate the tire.
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard indicators.
– The identification code of the tire pressure sensor is not registered to
the system.
– The battery of the tire pressure sensor is low.
• If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator does not operate due to TPMS interfer-
ence, move the vehicle about1m(3ft)
backward or forward and try again.
If the TPMS with Tire Inflation Indicator is
not working, use a tire pressure gauge.
ON-PAVEMENT AND OFF-ROAD
DRIVING PRECAUTIONS
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than pas-
senger cars to make them capable of per-
forming in a variety of on-pavement and off-
road applications. This gives them a higher
center of gravity than ordinary vehicles. An
advantage of higher ground clearance is a
better view of the road, allowing you to an-
ticipate problems. However, they are not de-
signed for cornering at the same speeds as
conventional 2-Wheel Drive vehicles any
more than low-slung sports cars are de-
signed to perform satisfactorily under off-
road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp
turns at high speeds. As with other vehicles of
this type, failure to operate this vehicle cor-
rectly may result in loss of control or vehicle
rollover.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is sig-
nificantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt.
For additional information, see “Driving
safety precautions” (P. 5-10).
5-8Starting and driving
•Do not use the LDW system under the
following conditions as it may not func-
tion properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.).
– When driving on slippery roads, such
as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or uneven
roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift or tem-
porary lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane
width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire
conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, nonstandard
wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with
non-original brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or
other vehicle. The system may not function properly under
the following conditions:
• On roads where there are multiple parallel
lane markers; lane markers that are faded
or not painted clearly; yellow painted lane
markers; non-standard lane markers; or
lane markers covered with water, dirt,
snow, etc.
• On roads where the discontinued lane markers are still detectable.
• On roads where there are sharp curves.
• On roads where there are sharply contrast- ing objects, such as shadows, snow, water,
wheel ruts, seams or lines remaining after
road repairs. (The LDW system could de-
tect these items as lane markers.)
• On roads where the traveling lane merges or separates.
• When the vehicle’s traveling direction does not align with the lane marker.
• When traveling close to the vehicle in front of you, which obstructs the lane camera
unit detection range.
• When rain, snow, dirt or an object adheres to the windshield in front of the lane cam-
era unit.
• When the headlights are not bright due to dirt on the lens or if the aiming is not ad-
justed properly. • When strong light enters the lane camera
unit. (For example, the light directly shines
on the front of the vehicle at sunrise or
sunset.)
• When a sudden change in brightness oc- curs. (For example, when the vehicle enters
or exits a tunnel or under a bridge.)
SYSTEM TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE
If the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight under
high temperature conditions (over approxi-
mately 104°F [40°C]) and then started, the
LDW system may be deactivated automati-
cally and the following message will appear in
the vehicle information display: “Not avail-
able: High Camera Temp.”
When the interior temperature is reduced, the
LDW system will resume operating
automatically.
The LDW system is not designed to warn
under the following conditions:
• When you operate the lane change signaland change traveling lanes in the direction
of the signal. (The LDW system will become
operable again approximately 2 seconds
after the lane change signal is turned off.)
• When the vehicle speed lowers to less than approximately 37 mph (60 km/h).

LDP SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Listed below are the system limitations for
the LDP system. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions for proper use of
the LDP system could result in serious in-
jury or death.
• The LDP system may activate if you
change lanes without first activating
your turn signal or, for example, if a con-
struction zone directs traffic to cross an
existing lane marker. If this occurs you
may need to apply corrective steering to
complete your lane change.
• Because the LDP may not activate under
the road, weather, and lane marker con-
ditions described in this section, it may
not activate every time your vehicle be-
gins to leave its lane and you will need to
apply corrective steering.
• The LDP system will not operate at
speeds below approximately 37 mph (60
km/h) or if it cannot detect lane markers.
• Do not use the LDP system under the
following conditions as it may not func-
tion properly:
– During bad weather (rain, fog, snow,
etc.). –
When driving on slippery roads, such
as on ice or snow.
– When driving on winding or uneven
roads.
– When there is a lane closure due to
road repairs.
– When driving in a makeshift or tem-
porary lane.
– When driving on roads where the lane
width is too narrow.
– When driving without normal tire
conditions (for example, tire wear,
low tire pressure, installation of
spare tire, tire chains, non-standard
wheels).
– When the vehicle is equipped with
nonoriginal brake parts or suspen-
sion parts.
– When you are towing a trailer or
other vehicle.
The system may not function properly un-
der the following conditions:
• On roads where there are multiple paral-
lel lane markers; lane markers that are
faded or not painted clearly; yellow
painted lane markers; non-standard lane
markers; or lane markers covered with

ers are still detectable.
• On roads where there are sharp curves.
• On roads where there are sharply con-
trasting objects, such as shadows, snow,
water, wheel ruts, seams or lines remain-
ing after road repairs. (The LDP system
could detect these items as lane
markers.)
• On roads where the traveling lane
merges or separates.
• When the vehicle’s traveling direction
does not align with the lane marker.
• When traveling close to the vehicle in
front of you, which obstructs the lane
camera unit detection range.
