INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
System DescriptionNIS001N6

The Intelligent Key system is a system which can lock and unlock the doors (door lock function) and start
the engine (engine start function) by carrying around the Intelligent Key, which operates based on the
results of electrical key-ID verification using two-way communications between the Intelligent Key and the
vehicle

Operation of the remote control buttons on the Intelligent Key also provides the same functions as the
remote control entry system. (Remote control entry functions)

As an ignition key warning function, when a door is locked or unlocked with entry switch or remote control-
ler button operation, the hazard lamps flash and the Intelligent Key warning buzzer sounds.

Even if the vehicle or Intelligent Key battery runs down, the door can be locked and unlocked and the
engine started with the mechanical key built into the Intelligent Key.

If an Intelligent Key was lost, a new Intelligent Key can be registered. A maximum of 4 Intelligent Keys can
be registered.

It has been made possible to diagnose the system, change the function setting and register an Intelligent
Key with the CONSULT-II.
DOOR LOCK FUNCTION
Operation Description

When the driver door, passenger door, or back door request switch is pressed, Intelligent Key unit sends a
request signal from the transmission antenna corresponding to the pressed door request switch, key-ID
verification is performed using two-way communication with Intelligent Key, and if ID is successfully veri-
fied, a door lock/unlock request signal is sent to BCM (Body Control Module) using CAN communication
to lock/unlock the door lock.

When door is locking, door is unlocked, when door is unlocking, door is locked.

When door is locked/unlocked by door request switch operation, hazard lamps flash and Intelligent Key
warning buzzer sounds.

With the locking operation of door request switch, door lock actuators of all door are locked.

IVIS (INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NATS)
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45
System DescriptionNIS001PL
DESCRIPTION
IVIS (Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System – NATS) has the following immobilizer functions:

Engine immobilizer shows high anti-theft performance to prevent engine start by other than the owner
(registered key: ignition key, mechanical key and Intelligent Key).

Only a key with key ID registered in BCM and ECM can start engine, and shows high anti-theft perfor-
mance to prevent key from being copied or stolen.

In the vehicle without Intelligent Key system, security indicator always flashes with other than ignition
switch ON or START position.

In the vehicle with Intelligent Key system, security indicator always flashes with mechanical key removed
condition (key switch OFF) and ignition knob released condition on LOCK position (ignition knob switch
OFF).

Therefore, IVIS (NATS) warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.

If system detects malfunction, it turns on security indicator in ignition switch ON position.

If the owner requires, mechanical key ID can be registered for up to 5 keys.

During trouble diagnosis or when the following parts have been replaced, and if ignition key or mechanical
key is added, registration* is required.
*: All keys kept by the owner of the vehicle should be registered with ignition key or mechanical key.
–ECM
–BCM
–Ignition key (models without Intelligent Key system)
–Mechanical key (models with Intelligent Key system)

IVIS (NATS) trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) igni-
tion key or mechanical key IDs must be carried out using CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II IVIS
(NATS) software. When IVIS (NATS) initialization has been completed, the ID of the inserted ignition key
or mechanical key or mechanical key IDs can be carried out.
Regarding the procedures of IVIS (NATS) initialization and ignition key or mechanical key ID registration,
refer to CONSULT-II operation manual, NATS-IVIS/NVIS.
SECURITY INDICATOR

Warns that the vehicle has IVIS (NATS).

In the vehicle without Intelligent Key system, security indicator always flashes with other than ignition
switch ON or START position. In the vehicle with Intelligent Key system, security indicator always flashes
with mechanical key removed condition (key switch OFF) and ignition knob released condition on LOCK
position (ignition knob switch OFF).
NOTE:
Because security indicator is highly efficient, the battery is barely affected.

PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
DescriptionNAS0005V
Observe the following precautions to ensure safe and proper servicing. These precautions are not
described in each individual section.
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
NAS0005W
The Supplemental Restraint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver and front passenger for certain
types of collision. This system includes seat belt switch inputs and dual stage front air bag modules. The SRS
system uses the seat belt switches to determine the front air bag deployment, and may only deploy one front
air bag, depending on the severity of a collision and whether the front occupants are belted or unbelted.
Information necessary to service the system safely is included in the SRS and SB section of this Service Man-
ual.
WARNING:

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could increase the risk of personal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be per-
formed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.

Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury caused by unintentional activation of the system. For removal of Spiral Cable and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS section.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be identified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.
Precautions for NVIS/IVIS (NISSAN/INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM -
NATS) (If Equipped)
NAS0005X
NVIS/IVIS (NATS) will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without the registered key of NVIS/IVIS
(NATS).
Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been NVIS/IVIS (NATS) registered.
The security indicator is located on the instrument panel. The indicator blinks when the immobilizer system is
functioning.
Therefore, NVIS/IVIS (NATS) warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.

When NVIS/IVIS (NATS) detects trouble, the security indicator lamp lights up while ignition switch is in
"ON" position.
This lighting up indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning, so prompt service is required.

When servicing NVIS/IVIS (NATS) (trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of
other NVIS/IVIS (NATS) ignition key IDs), CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II NVIS/IVIS (NATS)
software is necessary.
Regarding the procedures of NVIS/IVIS (NATS) initialization and NVIS/IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID regis-
tration, refer to CONSULT-II operation manual, NVIS/IVIS (NATS).
Therefore, CONSULT-II NVIS/IVIS (NATS) software (program card and operation manual) must be kept
strictly confidential to maintain the integrity of the anti-theft function.

When servicing NVIS/IVIS (NATS) (trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of
other NVIS/IVIS (NATS) ignition key IDs), it may be necessary to re-register original key identification.
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner. A maximum of four or five key IDs can be regis-
tered into NVIS/IVIS (NATS).

When failing to start the engine first time using the key of NVIS/IVIS (NATS), start as follows.
1. Leave the ignition key in "ON" position for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn ignition key to "OFF" or "LOCK" position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while keeping the key separate from any others on key-chain.

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: 2006 July 2007 FX35/FX45

Before servicing the vehicle:
Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate cov-
ers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine control system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precautions for Three Way CatalystNAS00061
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.

Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.

When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when
necessary.

Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to
the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precautions for Fuel (Unleaded Premium Gasoline Recommended)NAS00062
Use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 91).
For improved vehicle performance, NISSAN/INFINITI recommend the use of unleaded premium gasoline with
an octane rating of at least 91 AKI number (Research octane number 96).
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85
fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unleaded gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel
(i.e. Flexible Fuel Vehicle - FFV models). Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.
