The security indicator is located on the instrument panel. The indi-
cator blinks when the ignition switch is in OFF or ACC position.
Therefore, IVIS (NATS) warns outsiders that the vehicle is
equipped with the anti-theft system.
IWhen IVIS (NATS) detects trouble, the security indicator lamp
lights up while ignition switch is in ON position.
This lighting up indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning,
so prompt service is required.
IWhen servicing IVIS (NATS) (trouble diagnoses, system initial-
ization and additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) ignition
key IDs), CONSULT-II hardware and CONSULT-II IVIS (NATS)
software is necessary.
Regarding the procedures of IVIS (NATS) initialization and
IVIS (NATS) ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II
operation manual, IVIS/NVIS.
Therefore, CONSULT-II IVIS (NATS) software (program card
and operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to
maintain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
IWhen servicing IVIS (NATS) (trouble diagnoses, system initial-
ization and additional registration of other IVIS (NATS) ignition
key IDs), it may be necessary to re-register original key iden-
tification. Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle
owner.
A maximum of five key IDs can be registered into IVIS (NATS).
IWhen failing to start the engine first time using the key of IVIS
(NATS) (for example, when interference is caused by another
IVIS (NATS) key, an automated full road device or automated
payment device on the key ring), restart as follows.
a) Leave the ignition switch in ON position for approximately 5
seconds.
b) Turn ignition switch to OFF or LOCK position and wait approxi-
mately 5 seconds.
c) Repeat step 1 and 2.
d) Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have
caused the interference) separate from the registered NATS
key. If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN recommends
placing the registered IVIS (NATS) key on a separate key ring
to avoid interference from other devices.
PRECAUTIONS FOR INFINITI COMMUNICATOR (IVCS)NBGI0001S09The purpose of INFINITI Communicator is to increase security for
the vehicle owner by providing a convenient way to contact the
most appropriate emergency assistance provider during an emer-
gency.
Improper operation of the system may result in a police response.
The theft warning system also activates INFINITI Communicator.
For details, refer to INFINITI Communicator (IVCS) in the EL sec-
tion.

IntroductionNBTF0013DESCRIPTIONNBTF0013S01When a malfunction (indicated by the 4WD warning lamp illumination) occurs, collect information first from the
customer about how the malfunction occurs. Then, proceed with the diagnosis presuming it is the cause. Also
inspect the electrical system, paying close attention to other possibilities such as fluid level and leaks.
All-mode 4WD transfer is controlled by transfer control unit and sensors.
If a malfunction occurs in the all-mode 4WD system, the 4WD warning lamp lights up to inform of the system
malfunction. There are two ways to identify the cause of the malfunction.
1) Performing the self-diagnosis. (The 4WD warning lamp will indicate what kind of malfunction has occurred
by flickering.)
2) Performing diagnosis using CONSULT-II.
