functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink Universal Transceiver:
O Will operate most Radio Frequency
(RF) devices such as garage doors,
gates, home and office lighting, entry
door locks and security systems.
O Is powered by your vehicle's battery.
No separate batteries are required. If
the vehicle's battery is discharged or
is disconnected, HomeLink will retain
all programming.
Once the HomeLink Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(i.e., new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For addi-
tional information, refer to ªProgramming

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

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

another object.
O Do not place the keyfob for an extended
period in an area where temperatures ex-

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.
