5. Outside air temperature (ICY — °F
or °C)
The outside air temperature is displayed in °F or
°C in the range of22 to 131°F (30 to 55°C).
The outside air temperature mode includes a
low temperature warning feature. If the outside
air temperature is below 37°F (3°C), the warning
is displayed on the screen.
The outside temperature sensor is located in front
of the radiator. The sensor may be affected by
road or engine heat, wind directions and other
driving conditions. The display may differ from
the actual outside temperature or the tempera-
ture displayed on various signs or billboards.
6. Setting

sage “Setting can only be operated when
stopped” is also displayed on the dot matrix

WARNING
●Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible in-
fluences before use.
● The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves
when the buttons are pushed. The FAA ad-
vises that the radio waves may affect aircraft
navigation and communication systems. Do
not operate the Intelligent Key while on an
airplane. Make sure the buttons are not op-
erated unintentionally when the unit is
stored during a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
doors and the trunk lid using the remote con-
troller function or pushing the request switch
on the vehicle without taking the key out from a
pocket or purse. The operating environment
and/or conditions may affect the Intelligent Key
system operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the
Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
● Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you
when operating the vehicle.
● Never leave the Intelligent Key in the vehicle
when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The
Intelligent Key system transmits weak radio
waves. Environmental conditions may interfere
with the operation of the Intelligent Key system
under the following operating conditions.
● When operating near a location where strong
radio waves are transmitted, such as a TV
tower, power station and broadcasting sta-
tion.
● When in possession of wireless equipment,
such as a cellular telephone, transceiver,
and CB radio.
● When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or
covered by metallic materials.
● When any type of radio wave remote control
is used nearby.
● When the Intelligent Key is placed near an
electric appliance such as a personal com-
puter. ●
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. Replace
the discharged battery with a new one as soon
as possible. For more details, see “PUSH-
BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH” in the “5. Starting
and driving” section.
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.

WARNING
The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when
the buttons are pushed. The FAA advises that
the radio waves may affect aircraft navigation
and communication systems. Do not operate
the Intelligent Key while on an airplane. Make
sure the buttons are not operated unintention-
ally when the unit is stored during a flight.
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, fuel-filler
door, activate the panic alarm and open the
windows by pushing the buttons on the Intelli-
gent Key from outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the Intelli-
gent Key is not left in the vehicle.
The LOCK/UNLOCK button on the Intelligent Key
can operate at a distance of approximately 33 ft
(10 m) from the vehicle. (The effective distance
depends upon the conditions around the ve-
hicle.)
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be used with
one vehicle. For information concerning the
purchase and use of additional Intelligent Keys,
contact an INFINITI retailer. The lock and unlock buttons on the Intelligent
Key will not operate when:
●
the distance between the Intelligent Key and
the vehicle is over 33 ft (10 m).
● the Intelligent Key battery is discharged.
After locking with the remote keyless entry
function, pull the door handle to make sure the
doors are securely locked.
The LOCK/UNLOCK operating range varies de-
pending on the environment. To securely oper-
ate the lock and unlock buttons, approach the
vehicle to about 3 ft (1 m) from the door.

HOW TO USE REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM
When you lock or unlock the doors or the trunk
lid, the hazard indicator will flash and the horn
(or the outside chime) will sound as a confirma-
tion. For details, see “Setting hazard indicator
and horn mode” later in this section.

WARNING
● The air conditioner cooling function oper-
ates only when the engine is running.
● Do not leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly fatal in-
juries to people or animals.
● Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to
become stale and the windows to fog up.
Start the engine and operate the automatic
climate control system.
When the “STATUS” button is pushed, the
automatic climate control status screen will
appear. (See “HOW TO USE STATUS BUTTON”
earlier in this section.)
