7. Warning check
SKIP :
Push the
switchAto move to the
warning check mode.
Push the
switchBto select other
menus.
DETAIL :
This item is available only when a warning is
displayed.
Select this menu to see the details of warnings. Your vehicle has two types of security systems,
as follows:
●Vehicle security system
● INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light.
VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual and
audio alarm signals if someone opens the
doors, hood, or trunk lid when the system is
armed. It is not, however, a motion detection
type system that activates when a vehicle is
moved or when a vibration occurs. 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.

Rules and RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Opera-
tion is subject to the following two conditions;
(1) This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence, and (2) this device must accept any inter-
ference received, including interference that

CHANGES OR MODIFICATIONS NOT EXPRESSLY

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, see an INFINITI retailer for
duplicates by using the key number. INFINITI
does not record any 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, this key can be
duplicated by an INFINITI retailer.
1. Intelligent Keys (2 sets)
2. Mechanical keys (inside the Keys) (2 sets)
3. Key number plate (1 set)
INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelli-
gent Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s
Intelligent Key system components and INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System components. As
many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
and used with one vehicle. The new keys must
be registered by an INFINITI retailer prior to use
with the Intelligent Key system and INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System of your vehicle.
Since the registration process requires erasing
all memory in the Intelligent Key componentswhen registering new keys, be sure to take all
Intelligent Keys that you have to the INFINITI
retailer.
It is possible that the Intelligent Key functions
become canceled. Contact an INFINITI retailer.
CAUTION
●
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you
when driving. The Intelligent Key is a preci-
sion device with a built-in transmitter. To
avoid damaging it, please note the
following.
– The Intelligent Key is water resistant; however, wetting may damage the Intelli-
gent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet,
immediately wipe until it is completely
dry.
– Do not bend, drop or strike it against an- other object.
– Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in a place where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
– Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
– Do not use a magnet key holder.
