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 win-
dows 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.

ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof
rack. Do not load more than 99 lb (45 kg) on the
roof rails. Observe the maximum load limit
shown on the crossbars or roof carriers when
you attach them on the roof rails. Contact an
INFINITI retailer for crossbar or other equipment
information.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its Gross
Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear). The
GVWR and GAWR are located on the F.M.V.S.S.
or C.V.M.S.S. certification label (located on the
driver’s door pillar). For more information re-
garding GVWR and GAWR, see “VEHICLE LOAD-ING INFORMATION” in the “9. Technical and
consumer information” section.
WARNING
●
Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying capac-
ity, especially if the significant portion of
that load is carried on the roof rack.
● Heavy loading of the roof rack has the poten-
tial to affect the vehicle stability and han-
dling during sudden or unusual handling
maneuvers.
● Roof rack load should be evenly distributed.
● Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
● Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or shift-
ing. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing items from
the roof rack. If you cannot comfortably lift the
items onto the roof rack from the ground, use a
ladder or stool.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
● Make sure that all passengers have their
hands, etc. inside the vehicle while it is in
motion and before closing the windows. Use
the window lock switch to prevent unex-
pected use of the power windows.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and become trapped in
the window. Unattended children could be-
come involved in serious accidents.
The power windows operate when the ignition
switch is in the ON position or for about 45
seconds after the ignition switch is pushed to
the OFF position. If the driver’s or front passen-
ger’s door is opened during this period of about
45 seconds, power to the windows is canceled.
