3-2Pre-driving checks and adjustments
A key number plate is supplied with your
keys. Record the key number and keep it in a
safe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. If you lose your keys, it is recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
duplicates by using the key number. INFINITI
does not record any key numbers so it is very
important to keep track of your key number
plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, it can
be duplicated without knowing the key
number.

INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to your
vehicle’s Intelligent Key system components
and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
components. As many as 4 Intelligent Keys
can be registered and used with one vehicle.
The new keys must be registered by an
INFINITI retailer prior to use with the
Intelligent Key system and INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System of your vehicle. Since the
registration process requires erasing all
memory in the Intelligent Key components
when registering new keys, be sure to take
all Intelligent Keys that you have to the
INFINITI retailer.
It is possible that the Intelligent Key func-
tions become canceled. Contact an INFINITI
retailer.
CAUTION
.
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key
with you when driving. The Intelli-
gent Key is a precision device with a
built-in transmitter. To avoid dama-
ging it, please note the following.
KEYS

— The Intelligent Key is water re-sistant; however, wetting may
damage the Intelligent Key. If the
Intelligent Key gets wet, immedi-
ately wipe until it is completely
dry.
— Do not bend, drop or strike it against another object.
— If the outside temperature is below 14°F (−10°C), the battery
of the Intelligent Key may not
function properly.
— Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in a place
where temperatures exceed
140°F (60°C).
— Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
— Do not use a magnet key holder.
— Do not place the Intelligent Key near an electric appliance such as
a television set or personal com-
puter.
— 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 Intelligent Key. This will
prevent the Intelligent Key from un-
authorized use to unlock the vehicle.
For information regarding the eras-
ing procedure, it is recommended you
visit an INFINITI retailer.

Mechanical key
To remove the mechanical key, release the
lock knob at the back of the Intelligent Key.
To install the mechanical key, firmly insert it
into the Intelligent Key until the lock knob
returns to the lock position.
Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock the
driver’s door, glove box and trunk pass-
through lid if equipped with a key cylinder.

CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key in-
stalled in the key.
VALET HAND-OFF
When you have to leave a key with a valet,
give them the Intelligent Key itself and keep
the mechanical key with you to protect your
belongings.
To prevent the glove box and the trunk from
being opened during valet hand-off, follow
the procedures below.
1. Push the trunk release power cancelswitch to the OFF (cancel) side.
2. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelligent Key.
3. Lock the glove box and the trunk pass- through with the mechanical key.
4. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet, keeping the mechanical key in your
pocket or bag for insertion into the
Intelligent Key when you retrieve your
vehicle.
See “Trunk lid” (P.3-22), “Glove box” (P.2-
47) and “Trunk pass-through” (P.1-7).
WARNING
. Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
. Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
. To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets
unattended in your vehicle. Addition-
ally, the temperature inside a closed
vehicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a sig-
nificant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
