INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY

Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intel-
ligent Keys which are registered to your vehi-
cle’s Intelligent Key System components and
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents.

Never leave the keys in the vehicle.

As many as four Intelligent Keys can be reg-
istered and used with one vehicle. The new
keys must be registered prior to use with the
Intelligent Key System and INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System of your vehicle. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service. Since the registration process
requires erasing all memory in the Intelligent
Key components when registering new keys,
be sure to take all Intelligent Keys that you
have to an INFINITI retailer.

A key number plate is supplied with your keys.
Record the key number and keep it in a safe
place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle.
If you lose your keys, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for duplicates by
using the key number. INFINITI does not re-
cord key numbers so it is very important to
keep track of your key number plate.

A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, it can be
duplicated without knowing the key number.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 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.

Mechanical key

The Intelligent Key contains the mechanical
key.

To remove the mechanical key, release the
lock knob on the back of the Intelligent Key.

To install the mechanical key, firmly insert it
into the Intelligent Key until the lock knob
returns to the lock position.

Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock the
door and glove box.

CAUTION

Always carry the mechanical key installed
in the Intelligent Key slot.

For additional information, refer to “Doors” in
this section and “Storage” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.

Valet hand-off

When you have to leave a key with a valet,
give them the Intelligent Key itself and keep
the mechanical key with you to protect your
belongings.

To prevent the glove box from being opened
during valet hand-off, follow the procedure
below.

1. Remove the mechanical key from the In-

telligent Key.

2. Lock the glove box with the mechanical

key.

3. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet and

keep the mechanical key with you.

For additional information, refer to “Storage”
in the “Instruments and controls” section of
this manual.

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS

You can only drive your vehicle using the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to the
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents in your vehicle.

The mechanical key can be used for all the
locks.

Never leave the keys in the vehicle.

Additional or replacement keys:

If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra INFINITI Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System keys. Your existing
key can be duplicated without knowing the
key number. As many as four INFINITI Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System keys can be used
with one vehicle. You should bring all
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System keys
that you have to the INFINITI retailer for
registration. This is because the registration
process will erase the memory of all key
codes previously registered into the INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System. After the regis-
tration process, these components will only
recognize keys coded into the INFINITI Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System during registration.
Any key that is not given to the retailer at the
time of registration will no longer be able to
start your vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not allow the immobilizer system key,
which contains an electrical transponder,
to come into contact with water or salt wa-
ter. This could affect system function.

When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be
opened using the inside or outside door
handles. The doors must be unlocked to open
the doors.

WARNING

∙ Always have the doors locked while driv-

ing. Along with the use of seat belts, this
provides greater safety in the event of an
accident by helping to prevent persons
from being thrown from the vehicle. This
also helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors, and
will help keep out intruders.

∙ Before opening any door, always look for

and avoid oncoming traffic.

∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and or its systems, including entrap-
ment in windows or inadvertent door
lock activation, do not leave children,
people who require the assistance of oth-
ers or pets unattended in your vehicle.
Additionally, the temperature inside a
closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people and
pets.

Lockout protection

When the power door lock switch is moved to
the lock position and any door is open, all
doors will lock. With the Intelligent Key left in
the vehicle and any door open, all doors will
unlock automatically and chime will sound
after the door is closed.

These functions help prevent the Intelligent
Key from being accidentally locked inside the
vehicle.

AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS

∙ All doors lock automatically when the ve-

hicle speed reaches 15 mph (24 km/h).

NOTE:

The automatic door unlock function can be
changed using “Vehicle Settings” of the ve-
hicle information display. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Vehicle information dis-
play” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR
LOCK

Child safety locks help prevent the rear doors
from being opened accidentally, especially
when small children are in the vehicle.

The child safety lock levers are located on the
edge of the rear doors.

When the lever is in the LOCK position, the
door can be opened only from the outside.

WARNING

∙ Radio waves could adversely affect elec-

tric medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemaker should contact the electric
medical equipment manufacturer for the
possible influences before use.

∙ The Intelligent Key transmits radio

waves when the buttons are pressed. The
FAA advises the radio waves may affect
aircraft navigation and communication
systems. Do not operate the Intelligent
Key while on an airplane. Make sure the
buttons are not operated unintentionally
when the unit is stored for a flight.

The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door locks using the remote control function
or pushing the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or
conditions may affect the Intelligent Key sys-
tem operation.

Be sure to read the following before using the
Intelligent Key system.

CAUTION

∙ Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with

you when operating the vehicle.

∙ Never leave the Intelligent Key in the ve-

hicle when you leave the vehicle.

The Intelligent Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves.
The Intelligent Key system transmits weak
radio waves. Environmental conditions may
interfere with the operation of the Intelligent
Key system under the following operating
conditions:

∙ When operating near a location where

strong radio waves are transmitted, such
as a TV tower, power station and broad-
casting station.

∙ When in possession of wireless equip-

ment, such as a cellular telephone, trans-
ceiver or a CB radio.

∙ When the Intelligent Key is in contact

with or covered by metallic materials.

∙ When any type of radio wave remote

control is used nearby.

∙ When the Intelligent Key is placed near an

electric 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

the Intelligent Key may not function properly.

The operating range is within 31.5 in (80 cm)
from each request switch

䊊

If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door
glass, handle or rear bumper, the request
switches may not function.
