WARNING
●Always have the doors locked while driving.
Along with the use of seat belts, this pro-
vides greater safety in the event of an acci-
dent by helping to prevent persons from be-
ing thrown from the vehicle. This also helps
keep children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help keep
out intruders.
● Before opening any door, always look for and
avoid oncoming traffic.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious accidents.
LOCKING WITH MECHANICAL KEY
The power door lock system allows you to lock
or unlock all doors simultaneously using the
mechanical key.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder to the
rear of the vehicle
1will lock all doors.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder once
to the front of the vehicle
2will unlock the
driver’s door. After returning the key to the
neutral position
3, turning it to the front
again within 5 seconds will unlock all doors. ●
You can switch the lock system to the mode
that allows you to open all the doors when
the key is turned once. (See “HOW TO USE
SETTING BUTTON” in the “4. Monitor, cli-
mate, audio, phone and voice recognition
systems” section.)
OPENING AND CLOSING WINDOWS
WITH THE MECHANICAL KEY
The driver’s door key operation also allows you
to open and close the window that is equipped
with the automatic open/close function. (See
“POWER WINDOWS” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.)
To open the window, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the rear of the vehicle for longer than
1 second . The door is unlocked and the window
keeps opening while turning the key.
This function can also be performed by pushing
and holding the UNLOCK button on the Intelli-
gent Key. (See “REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYS-
TEM” later in this section.)
To close the windows, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the front of the vehicle for longer
than 1 second . The door is locked and the
window keeps closing while turning the key.

DOORS
3-4Pre-driving checks and adjustments

●When the vehicle is parked near a parking
meter.
In such cases, correct the operating conditions
before using the Intelligent Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depend-
ing on the operating conditions, the battery’s
life is approximately 2 years. If the battery is
discharged, replace it with a new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost dis-
charged, insert the Intelligent Key into the
Intelligent Key port to start the engine. For more
details, see “PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH”
in the “5. Starting and driving” section. Replace
the discharged battery with a new one as soon
as possible.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiv-
ing radio waves, if the key is left near equip-
ment which transmits strong radio waves, such
as signals from a TV and personal computer, the
battery life may become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of a bat-
tery, see “INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY REPLACE-
MENT” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section. For models with a steering wheel lock mecha-
nism: Because the steering wheel is locked
electrically, unlocking the steering wheel with
the ignition switch in the LOCK position is
impossible when the vehicle battery is com-
pletely discharged. Pay special attention that
the vehicle battery is not completely dis-
charged.
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered
and used with one vehicle. For information
about the purchase and use of additional Intel-
ligent Keys, contact an INFINITI retailer.
CAUTION
●
Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which con-
tains 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, immediately
wipe until it is completely dry. ●
If the outside temperature is below 14°F
(10°C) degrees, the battery of the Intelli-
gent Key may not function properly.
● Do not place the Intelligent Key for an ex-
tended period in an area where tempera-
tures 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 equip-
ment 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 Intelli-
gent Key from the vehicle. This may prevent the
unauthorized use of the Intelligent Key to oper-
ate the vehicle. For information regarding the
erasing procedure, contact an INFINITI retailer.
The Intelligent key function can be disabled. For
information about disabling the Intelligent key
function, contact an INFINITI retailer.
