INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY
BATTERY DISCHARGE
If the battery of the Intelligent Key is dis-
charged, or environmental conditions inter-
fere with the Intelligent Key operation, start
the engine according to the following proce-
dure:
1. Press the park button to shift to the P(Park) position.
2. Firmly apply the foot brake.
3. Touch the ignition switch with the Intelli- gent Key as illustrated. (A chime will
sound.) 4. Push the ignition switch while depressing
the brake pedal within 10 seconds after
the chime sounds. The engine will start.
After step 3 is performed, when the ignition
switch is pushed without depressing the
brake pedal, the ignition switch position will
change to ON.
NOTE:
• When the ignition switch is pushed to the ON position or the engine is started by the
above procedures, the “Key Battery Low”
warning appears (on the vehicle informa-
tion display) even if the Intelligent Key is
inside the vehicle. This is not a malfunc-
tion. To turn off the warning, touch the
ignition switch with the Intelligent Key
again.
• If the “Key Battery Low” warning appears, replace the battery as soon as possible.
For additional information, see “Battery
replacement” (P. 8-24).
INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM
The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will
not allow the engine to start without the use
of the registered key. If the engine does not start using the regis-
tered Intelligent Key, it may be due to inter-
ference caused by:
• Another Intelligent Key.
• Automated toll road device.
• Automated payment device.
• Other devices that transmit similar signals.
Start the engine using the following
procedure:
1. Remove any items that may be causing
the interference away from the Intelligent
Key.
2. Start the engine again.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
INFINITI recommends placing the registered
Intelligent Key separate from other devices to
avoid interference.
