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.

of a battery, see ªKeyfob battery replace-
mentº in the ª8. Maintenance and do-it-
yourselfº section.INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (if so equipped)

THREE WAY CATALYST The three way catalyst is an emission con-
trol device installed in the exhaust
system. Exhaust gas in the converter is
burned at high temperatures to help re-
duce pollutants.
WARNINGO The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals or
flammable materials away from the ex-
haust system components.
O Do not stop or park the vehicle over flam-
mable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.
CAUTIONO Do not use leaded gasoline. Deposits
from leaded gasoline will seriously re- duce the three-way catalyst's ability to
help reduce exhaust pollutants.
O Keep your engine tuned up. Malfunc-
tions in the ignition, fuel injection, or
electrical systems can cause overrich
fuel flow into the three-way catalyst,
causing it to overheat. Do not keep
driving if the engine misfires, or if no-
ticeable loss of performance or other un-
usual operating conditions are detected.
Have the vehicle inspected promptly by
an INFINITI dealer.
O Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel
level. Running out of fuel could cause the
engine to misfire, damaging the
three-way catalyst.
O Do not race the engine while warming it
up.
O Do not push or tow your vehicle to start
the engine.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM (TPMS) Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel. (If your vehicle has tires of a different
size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you
should determine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle
has been equipped with a tire pressure
monitoring system (TPMS) that illumi-
nates a low tire pressure telltale when
one or more of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low
tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly
under-inflated tire causes the tire to over-
heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-
inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and
tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substi-
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver's responsibility to maintain cor-
rect tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumi-
nation of the TPMS low tire pressure tell-
tale.

CAUTIONDuring the first 1,200 miles (2,000 km),
follow these recommendations to obtain
maximum engine performance and ensure
the future reliability and economy of your
new vehicle. Failure to follow these recom-
mendations may result in shortened engine
life and reduced engine performance.
O Avoid driving for long periods at con-
stant speed, either fast or slow. Do
not run the engine over 4,000 rpm.
O Do not accelerate at full throttle in any
gear.
O Avoid quick starts.
O Avoid hard braking as much as pos-
sible.
O Do not tow a trailer or haul a heavy
load for the first 500 miles (800 km). O Accelerate slowly and smoothly. Main-
tain cruising speeds with a constant
accelerator position.
O Drive at moderate speeds on the high-
way. Driving at high speed will lower
fuel economy.
O Avoid unnecessary stopping and brak-
ing. Maintain a safe distance behind
other vehicles.
O Use a proper gear range which suits
road conditions. On level roads, shift
into high gear as soon as possible.
O Avoid unnecessary engine idling.
O Keep your engine tuned up.
O Follow the recommended periodic
maintenance schedule.
O Keep the tires inflated at the correct
pressure. Low pressure will increase
tire wear and waste fuel.
O Keep the front wheels in correct align-
ment. Improper alignment will cause
not only tire wear but also lower fuel
economy.
O Air conditioner operation lowers fuel
economy. Use the air conditioner only
when necessary. O When cruising at highway speeds, it is
more economical to use the air condi-
tioner and leave the windows closed
to reduce drag.
