The system helps deter vehicle theft but cannot
prevent it, nor can it prevent the theft of interior
or exterior vehicle components 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 unat-
tended. Be aware of your surroundings, and
park in secure, well-lit areas whenever pos-
sible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification mark-
ers, and tracking systems, are available at auto
supply stores and specialty shops. Your INFINITI
retailer may also offer such equipment. Check
with your insurance company to see if you may
be eligible for discounts for various theft pro-
tection features.
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 posi-tion.
3. Remove the Intelligent Key from the ve- hicle.
4. Close all doors, hood and lift gate. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with
the Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch, power door lock switch or me-
chanical key. 5. Confirm that the security indicator light
comes on. The security indicator light
stays on for about 30 seconds. The ve-
hicle security system is now pre-armed.
After about 30 seconds the vehicle secu-
rity system automatically shifts into the
armed phase. The security light begins to
flash once every approximately 3 sec-
onds. 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 lift gate locked with the igni-
tion 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 follow-
ing alarm:
● The headlights blink and the horn sounds
intermittently.
● The alarm automatically turns off after ap-
proximately 50 seconds. However, the alarm
reactivates if the vehicle is tampered with
again.
