INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelli-
gent Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s
Intelligent Key System components and INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System components.
Never leave the keys in the vehicle.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. The new keys
must be registered prior to use with the Intelli-
gent Key System and INFINITI Vehicle Immobi-
lizer System of your vehicle. It is recommended
that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service.
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.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 recommended that you
visit an INFINITI retailer for duplicates by using
the key number. INFINITI does not record 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.CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occurrences
which will damage the Intelligent Key:
•Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which con-
tains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could
affect the system function.
•Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
•Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply
against another object.
•Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
•Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If
the Intelligent Key gets wet, immediately
wipe until it is completely dry.
•Do not place the Intelligent Key for an ex-
tended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 140
oF (60oC).
•Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a key
holder that contains a magnet.
•Do not place the Intelligent Key near equip-
ment that produces a magnetic field, such
as a TV, audio equipment and personal
computers.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, INFINITI
recommends erasing the ID code of that Intelli-
gent Key. This will prevent the Intelligent Key
from unauthorized use to unlock the vehicle. For
information regarding the erasing procedure,
please contact an INFINITI retailer.
Mechanical key
CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key installed in
the Intelligent Key.

low.

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS
You can only drive your vehicle using the Intel-
ligent Keys which are registered to the INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System components in your
vehicle.
The mechanical key can be used for all the
locks.
Never leave the keys in the vehicle.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System keys. Your existing key can
be duplicated without knowing the key number.
As many as four INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System keys can be used with one vehicle. You
should bring all INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System keys that you have to the INFINITI
retailer for registration. This is because the
registration process will erase the memory of all
key codes previously registered into the INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System. After the registra-
tion process, these components will only recog-
nize keys coded into the INFINITI Vehicle Immo-
bilizer System during registration. Any key that
is not given to the retailer at the time of
registration will no longer be able to start your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not allow the immobilizer system key,
which contains an electrical transponder, to
come into contact with water or salt water. This
could affect system function.

•Avoid parking your vehicle on steep hills. If
you get out of the vehicle and it rolls for-
ward, backward or sideways, you could be
injured.
•Whenever you drive off-road through sand,
mud or water as deep as the wheel hub,
more frequent maintenance may be re-
quired. For additional information, refer to
Maintenance schedulesin the
9. Maintenance and Schedules section.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
WARNING
•Replacing tires with those not originally
specified by INFINITI could affect the proper
operation of the TPMS.
•Always use tires of the same type, size,
brand, construction (bias, bias-belted or ra-
dial), and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Install tire chains on the front wheels when
driving on slippery roads and drive care-
fully.
•This vehicle is not designed for offroad
(rough road) use. Do not drive on sandy or
muddy roads that tires may get stuck in.
•For AWD equipped vehicles, do not attempt
to raise two wheels off the ground and shift
the transmission to any D (Drive) or R (Re-
verse) position with the engine running. Do-
ing so may result in drivetrain damage or
unexpected vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage or personal
injury
•Do not attempt to test an AWD equipped
vehicle on a 2-wheel dynamometer, (such
as the dynamometers used by some states
for emissions testing), or similar equipment
even if the other two wheels are raised off
the ground. Make sure you inform test facil-
ity personnel that your vehicle is equipped
with AWD before it is placed on a dynamom-
eter. Using the wrong test equipment may
result in drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result in se-
rious vehicle damage or personal injury.
•When a wheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel
excessively. The INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered key.
If the engine fails to start using the registered
key, it may be due to interference caused by
another registered key, an automated toll road
device or automated payment device on the key
ring. Restart the engine using the following
procedures:
1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
3. Repeat Step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered key.
If the no start condition re-occurs, INFINITI
recommends placing the registered key on a
separate key ring to avoid interference from
other devices.

NOTE
You can obtain information about trickle char-
gers from an INFINITI retailer. The electric power steering system is designed
to reduce the driver effort required to steer the
vehicle.
WARNING

lowing message will be displayed in the ve-
hicle information display along with an audible
warning tone.
[Power Steering Malfunction See Operators
Manual]
In conjunction with this warning, steering as-
sistance will no longer be provided by the sys-
tem.
The effort required to steer the vehicle will
increase. This will be most noticeable at low
speed and when performing a tight turning
maneuver.
Check whether you are able to provide the ex-
tra effort required.
If you are able to steer safely: Carefully drive on
to an INFINITI retailer.
