button (note steps 2 through 4 under
ªProgramming HomeLink º) while you
push and re-push (ªcycleº) your hand-
held transmitter every 2 seconds until the
indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating
successful programming).
NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener, etc.,
it is advised to unplug the device during
the ªcyclingº process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener compo-
nents.
OPERATING THE HomeLink
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER The HomeLink Universal Transceiver
(once programmed) may now be used to
activate the garage door, etc. To operate,
simply push the appropriate programmed
HomeLink Universal Transceiver button.
The red indicator light will illuminate

PROGRAMMING
TROUBLE-DIAGNOSIS If the HomeLink does not quickly learn
the hand-held transmitter information:
O replace the hand-held transmitter bat-
teries with new batteries. O position the hand-held transmitter
with its battery area facing away from
the HomeLink surface.
O push and hold both the HomeLink
and hand-held transmitter buttons
without interruption.
O position the hand-held transmitter 2
to 5 inches (50 to 127 mm) away from
the HomeLink surface. Hold the
transmitter in that position for up to 15
seconds. If HomeLink is not pro-
grammed within that time, try holding
the transmitter in another position -
keeping the indicator light in view at
all times.
If you continue to have programming diffi-
culties, please contact the INFINITI Con-
sumer Affairs Department. The phone
numbers are located in the Foreword of
this Owner's Manual.

Lockout protection When the power door lock switch (driver
or front passenger) is moved to the LOCK
position with the key in the ignition and
any door open, all doors will lock and un-
lock automatically. This helps to prevent
the keys from being accidentally locked
inside the vehicle.
CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK
(Sedan) Child safety rear door lock helps prevent
rear doors from being opened acciden-
tally, especially when small children are
in the vehicle.
When the levers are in the LOCK
q 1
posi-
tion, the rear doors can be opened by the
outside door handles only.
To disengage, move the levers to the un-
lock position
q 2
. It is possible to lock/unlock all doors,
trunk lid and fuel-filler door and activate
the panic alarm by using the keyfob from
outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The keyfob can operate at a maximum
distance of approximately 33 ft (10 m)
away from the vehicle. (The operating dis-
tance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.)
As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with
one vehicle. For information about pur-
chase and use of additional keyfobs, con-
tact an INFINITI dealer.
The keyfob will not function when:
O the battery is completely discharged,
O the distance between the vehicle and
the keyfob is more than 33 ft (10 m).
The panic alarm will not activate when the
key is in the ignition switch.
CAUTION The following conditions or occurrences may
damage the keyfob. SPA0086A

O Do not allow the keyfob to become wet.
O Do not drop the keyfob.
O Do not strike the keyfob sharply against
another object.
O Do not place the keyfob for an extended
period in an area where temperatures ex-
ceed 140ÉF (60ÉC).
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, INFINITI recom-
mends erasing the ID code of that keyfob.
This will prevent the keyfob from unautho-
rized use to unlock the vehicle. For informa-
tion regarding the erasing procedure, please
contact an INFINITI dealer.

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)

WARNING O The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves that can adversely affect medical
electric equipment.
O If you have a pacemaker, you should
contact the medical equipment manufac-
turer to ask if it will be affected by the In-
telligent Key signal.
The valet key cannot be used for the glove
box lock and the trunk access window lid
lock.
To protect belongings when you leave a
key with someone, give them the valet
key only.
Record the key number on the key
number plate/metal tag and keep it in a
safe place (such as your wallet), NOT IN
THE VEHICLE. A key number plate is sup-
plied with your key. Keep the plate in a
safe place. INFINITI does not record key
numbers so it is very important to keep
track of your key number plate. As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be used
with one vehicle. For information concern-
ing the purchase and use of additional re-
mote controllers, contact an INFINITI
dealer.
It is possible that the Intelligent Key func-
tions can become cancelled. Please con-
tact an INFINITI dealer.
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 fol-
lowing.
O The Intelligent Key is water resistant,
wetting may damage the Intelligent Key.
If the Intelligent Key gets wet, immedi-
ately wipe until it is completely dry.
O Do not bend, drop or strike it against an-
other object.
O Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in a place where tem-
peratures exceed 140ÉF (60ÉC).SPA2179

O Do not change or modify the Intelligent
Key.
O Do not use a magnet key holder.
O Do not place the Intelligent Key near an
electric appliance such as a television
set or personal computer.
O Do not place the Intelligent Key in a stor-
age area (for example, a door pocket or
glove box). It could be damaged or acti-
vated unexpectedly.
O Do not allow the Intelligent Key to come
into contact with water or salt water, and
do not wash it in a washing machine.
This could affect the system function.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, INFINITI
recommends erasing the ID code of that In-
telligent Key. This will prevent the Intelli-
gent Key from unauthorized use to unlock
the vehicle. For information regarding the
erasing procedure, please contact an
INFINITI dealer. DOOR LOCKS/UNLOCKS
PRECAUTION O After locking with the door handle re-
quest switch, make sure the doors are
securely locked.
O To prevent the Intelligent Key from be-
ing left inside the vehicle, make sure
you carry the key with you and then
lock the doors.
O To prevent the Intelligent Key from be-
ing left inside the trunk, make sure
you carry the key with you and then
close the trunk.
O You can lock or unlock the doors using
only the door handle, which detects
the Intelligent Key.
O When you try to unlock the door while
pulling the door handle, the door may
not unlock. In this case, release the
door handle and the door will unlock.
Pull the door handle again and the
door will open.
