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.
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.
SECURITY SYSTEMS

If the light still remains on and/or the
hybrid system will not start, see an
INFINITI retailer for INFINITI Vehicle Immo-
bilizer System service as soon as possible.
Please bring all Intelligent Keys that you
have when visiting an INFINITI retailer for
service.WARNING
In freezing temperatures the washer solu-
tion may freeze on the windshield and
obscure your vision which may lead to an
accident. Warm windshield with the defros-
ter before you wash the windshield.
CAUTION
.Do not operate the washer continuously
for more than 30 seconds.
. Do not operate the washer if the
reservoir tank is empty.
. Do not fill the window washer reservoir
tank with washer fluid concentrates at
full strength. Some methyl alcohol
based washer fluid concentrates may
permanently stain the grille if spilled
while filling the window washer reser-
voir tank.
. Pre-mix washer fluid concentrates with
water to the manufacturer’ s recom-
mended levels before pouring the fluid
into the window washer reservoir tank.
Do not use the window washer reservoir tank to mix the washer fluid concentrate
and water.

XENON HEADLIGHTS
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
. When xenon headlights are on, they
produce a high voltage. To prevent an
electric shock, never attempt to modify
or disassemble. Always have your xenon
headlights replaced at an INFINITI retai-
ler.
. Xenon headlights provide considerably
more light than conventional headlights.
If they are not correctly aimed, they
might temporarily blind an oncoming
driver or the driver ahead of you and
cause a serious accident. If headlights
are not aimed correctly, immediately
take your vehicle to an INFINITI retailer
and have the headlights adjusted cor-
rectly.
When the xenon headlight is initially
turned on, its brightness or color varies
slightly. However, the color and brightness
will soon stabilize.
.The life of xenon headlights will be
shortened by frequent on-off operation. It is generally desirable not to turn off
the headlights for short intervals (for
example, when the vehicle stops at a
traffic signal). Even when the daytime
running lights are active (Canada only),
the xenon headlights do not turn on.
This way the life of the xenon head-
lights is not reduced.
. If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will dras-
tically decrease, the light will start
blinking, or the color of the light will
become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, contact an INFINITI
retailer.
