The Intelligent Key uses coded radio sig-
nals to communicate with the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key is near the ve-
hicle, such as in your pocket or purse, it
allows the vehicle to be locked, unlocked,
or started without inserting the ignition
key. It is also possible to use the remote
control entry function.
CAUTIONO Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you.
O Do not leave the vehicle with the Intelli-
gent Key inside.
O The Intelligent Key may not function
correctly depending on the environ-
ment or operating conditions. It could
also malfunction if you do not use it
correctly.
O The Intelligent Key transmits faint
radio waves.
In the following situations, the Intelli-
gent Key and remote control entry func-
tions may not operate correctly, and
you may have to use the metal key (me-
chanical key, valet key or wallet key): Ð when there are strong signals
coming from a television tower,
power station or broadcasting sta-
tion.
Ð when you have wireless equipment
or a cellular phone with you.
Ð when the Intelligent Key is in con-
tact with or covered by a metallic
material.
Ð when radio wave-type remote con-
trol entry is used nearby.
Ð when the Intelligent Key is placed
near an electric appliance such as a
personal computer.
O The Intelligent Key continually con-
sumes battery power as the key re-
ceives a signal to communicate with
the vehicle. Battery life is about 2
years, although it varies depending on
the operating conditions. When the
battery of the Intelligent Key is low, the
green blinking key warning light goes
out about 30 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. If
the battery runs down, replace it with a
new one.
O If the Intelligent Key receives strong
signal over an extended period of time, the battery could quickly run down. Do
not place the Intelligent Key near an
electric appliance such as a television
set or personal computer.
O Because the ignition switch is elec-
tronically controlled, if the battery is
completely discharged when the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK position, the
steering lock cannot be released and
the ignition switch cannot be turned
(including the mechanical key). Be
careful not to completely discharge the
battery.
O In case the battery is completely dis-
charged, make sure to recharge the
battery immediately.
For information regarding the replacement
of a battery, see ªKeyfob battery replace-
mentº in the ª8. Maintenance and do-it-
yourselfº section.INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (if so equipped)

O Slowly turn the ignition switch after
the Intelligent Key warning light
comes on in green. If it is turned
quickly, it may stick and be difficult to
turn.
O The engine may not start if the Intelli-
gent Key is placed:
Ð inside the glove box or the door
pocket
Ð on the instrument panel
Ð in the corner of interior compart-
ment.
O If it is difficult to turn the ignition
switch, perform the following:
Ð Push the ignition switch and turn it
to the left and then to the right.
Ð Turn the ignition switch while
gently turning the steering wheel to
the left or right.
Stopping the engine 1. Shift the selector lever to the P posi-
tion.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC po-
sition. WARNING When you leave the vehicle, be sure to ob-
serve the following:
O Shift the selector lever to P. (In other po-
sitions, the ignition switch will not re-
turn to LOCK.)
O Securely return the ignition switch to
LOCK.
O Set the parking brake. Failure to do so
could result in unexpected vehicle move-
ment and could lead to severe injury.
INTELLIGENT KEY OPERATING
RANGE The Intelligent Key functions can be used
only when you carry the key with you and
operate as specified in the operating
range inside or outside the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery runs
down or where there are strong radio
waves or noise, the operating range may
be narrower or the key may be inopera-
tive.
Operating range of the door or
trunk lock/unlock function The outside sensors are in the front out-

OPERATION WITH INTELLIGENT
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM 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 Intelligent Key from out-
side the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The LOCK /UNLOCK button on
the Intelligent Key can operate at a dis-
tance of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from
the vehicle. (The effective distance de-
pends upon the conditions around the ve-
hicle.)
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be used
with one vehicle. For information concern-
ing the purchase and use of additional In-
telligent Key, contact an INFINITI dealer. The lock and unlock buttons on the Intel-
ligent Key will not operate when:
O the Intelligent Key is too far away from
the vehicle

keyless entry function, pull the door
handle to make sure the doors are se-
curely locked.
The operating range varies depending on
the environment. To securely operate the
lock and unlock buttons, approach the ve-
hicle to about 3 ft (1 m) from the door.
The panic alarm will not activate when the
mechanical key or the valet key is in the ig-
nition switch.

cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel-
spray and possibly a fire.
O Use only an original equipment type
fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has a
built-in safety valve needed for proper
operation of the fuel system and emis-
sion control system. An incorrect cap can
result in a serious malfunction and pos-
sible injury. An incorrect cap could also
cause the
malfunction indicator
lamp to illuminate.
O Do not fill a portable fuel container in the
vehicle or trailer. Static electricity can
cause an explosion of flammable liquid,
vapor or gas in any vehicle or trailer. To
reduce the risk of serious injury or death
when filling portable fuel containers:
Ð Always place the container on the
ground when filling.
Ð Do not use electronic devices when
filling.
Ð Keep the pump nozzle in contact with
the container while you are filling it.
Ð Use only approved portable fuel con-
tainers for flammable liquid.
O Never pour fuel into the throttle body to
attempt to start your vehicle. CAUTION O If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,
flush it away with water to avoid paint
damage.
O Tighten until the fuel-filler cap clicks.
Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap prop-
erly may cause the
malfunction in-
dicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate. If the
lamp illuminates because the fuel-
filler cap is loose or missing, tighten or
install the cap and continue to drive the
vehicle. The
lamp should turn off
after a few driving trips. If the
lamp
does not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected by an INFINITI
dealer.
O For additional information, see the ªMal-
function indicator lamp (MIL)º in the ª2.

Foldable outside mirrors Fold the outside mirror by pushing it to-
ward the rear of the vehicle. AUTOMATIC DRIVE POSITIONER
OPERATION The automatic drive positioner system
has two features:
O Entry/exit function (only available on
models equipped with automatic
transmission)
O Memory storage function
ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION (if so
equipped) This system is designed so that the driv-
er's seat and steering column will auto-
matically move when the automatic trans-
mission selector lever is in the P (Park)
position. This allows the driver to get into
and out of the driver's seat more easily.
(This feature is not available on models
equipped with manual transmission.)
The driver's seat will slide backward and
the steering wheel will move up when the
driver's door is opened with the key or ig-
nition switch in the LOCK position.
The driver's seat and steering wheel will
return to the previous positions:
O When the key is inserted into the igni-
tion switch after closing the driver's door, or when the driver's door is
closed after inserting the key into the
ignition switch.
O When the ignition switch is pushed
with the driver's door closed.
O When the key or ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
Initializing entry/exit function The entry/exit function can be activated
or cancelled by pushing and holding the
SET switch for more than 10 seconds
while the ignition switch is in the LOCK
position. The indicator light will blink
once when the function is cancelled, and
the indicator light will blink twice when
the function is activated. If the battery
cable is disconnected, or if the fuse
opens, the entry/exit function will be can-
celled. In such a case, after connecting
the battery or replacing with a new fuse,
open and close the driver's door more
than two times with the ignition switch or
ignition switch in the LOCK position. The
entry/exit function will be activated.SPA1829
