1. Engine oil and filter replacement
indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for changing the engine oil
and filter. You can set or reset the distance
for changing the engine oil and filter.
2. Tire replacement indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set distance comes for replacing tires. You
can set or reset the distance for replacing
tires.
WARNING
The tire replacement indicator is not a
substitute for regular tire checks, including
tire pressure checks. See“Changing wheels
and tires” (P.8-38). Many factors including
tire inflation, alignment, driving habits and
road conditions affect tire wear and when
tires should be replaced. Setting the tire
replacement indicator for a certain driving
distance does not mean your tires will last
that long. Use the tire replacement indicator
as a guide only and always perform regular
tire checks. Failure to perform regular tire
checks, including tire pressure checks could
result in tire failure. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to a collision,
which could result in serious personal injury
or death.
3. Other indicator
This indicator appears when the customer
set time comes for replacing items other
than the engine oil, oil filter and tires. You
can set or reset the distance for replacing

Your vehicle has two types of security
systems, as follows:
.
Vehicle security system
. INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light.
SECURITY SYSTEMS

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM
The vehicle security system provides visual
and audio alarm signals if someone opens
the doors, hood, or trunk lid when the
system is armed. It is not, however, a
motion detection type system that acti-
vates when a vehicle is moved or when a
vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
theft of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your Intelligent Key(s) in the
vehicle, and always lock it when unat-
tended. Be aware of your surroundings,
and park in secure, well-lit areas whenever
possible.
Many devices offering additional protec-
tion, such as component locks, identifica-
tion markers, and tracking systems, are
available at auto supply stores and speci-
alty shops. Your INFINITI retailer may also
offer such equipment. Check with your
insurance company to see if you may be
eligible for discounts for various theft
protection features.

How to arm the vehicle security
system
1. Close all windows.The system can be armed even if the
windows are open.
2. Push the ignition switch to the OFF position.
3. Remove the Intelligent Key from the vehicle.
4. Close all doors, hood and trunk. Lock all doors. The doors can be locked with
the Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch, power door lock switch or
mechanical key. 5. Confirm that the security indicator light
comes on. The security indicator light
stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-
armed. After about 30 seconds the
vehicle security system automatically
shifts into the armed phase. The
security light begins to flash once every
approximately 3 seconds. If, during this
30-second pre-arm time period, the
door is unlocked, or the ignition switch
is pushed to ACC or ON, the system will
not arm.
Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors, hood, and trunk lid locked
with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position. When pushing the ignition switch
to the ACC or ON position, the system will
be released.
Vehicle security system activation
The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:
. The headlights blink and the horn
sounds intermittently.
. The alarm automatically turns off after
approximately 1 minute. However, the
alarm reactivates if the vehicle is

tampered with again.
The alarm is activated by:
. Unlocking the door or opening the trunk
lid without using the button on the
Intelligent Key, the door handle request
switch, one touch unlock sensor or the
mechanical key. (Even if the door is
opened by releasing the door inside
lock knob, the alarm will activate.)
. Opening the hood.
How to stop an activated alarm
The alarm will stop by unlocking a door by
pushing the UNLOCK button on the Intelli-
gent Key, the door handle request switch,
touching the one touch unlock sensor or
using the mechanical key. The alarm will
not stop if the ignition switch is pushed to
the ACC or ON position.
If the system does not operate as de-
scribed above, have it checked by an
INFINITI retailer.
