INFINITI Intelligent Key System
The INFINITI Intelligent Key System allows you to lock
or unlock your vehicle, open your liftgate and start the

the
button 3 on the key fob.

To unlock the vehicle, perform one of the
following procedures:
• Push either door handle request switch

switch
2; the corresponding door will unlock. Push the door handle
request switch
1 or the liftgate request switch 2 again within 1
minute; all other doors will unlock, or

activated, the panic alarm and headlights will stay on for a period
of time.
INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY BATTERY DISCHARGE

If the battery in the Intelligent Key is almost
discharged, the guide light
6 of the Intelligent Key
port blinks and the Intelligent Key insertion indicator
7 is displayed in the vehicle information display.

To start the engine under these circumstances,
insert the Intelligent Key into the key port with the
key ring side facing backward until it latches into
place. Then push the ignition switch to start
the engine.

To remove the Intelligent Key from the port, push the

Do not insert the mechanical key or other objects into
the key port because they will damage the key port.
