Laws in some local communities may restrict
or prohibit the use of Remote Engine Start, or
the amount of time a parked vehicle engine
may idle. For example, some laws require a
person using Remote Engine Start to have
the vehicle in view or may restrict idling time
except in freezing temperatures. Check local
regulations for any requirements.
Other conditions may affect the function of
the Remote Engine Start feature. For addi-
tional information, see “Conditions the Re-
mote Engine Start will not work” (P. 3-20).
Other conditions can affect the performance
of the Intelligent Key transmitter. For addi-
tional information, see “INFINITI Intelligent
Key” (P. 3-2).REMOTE ENGINE START
OPERATING RANGE
WARNING
• To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave chil-
dren, people who require the assistance
of others or pets unattended in your ve-
hicle. Additionally, the temperature in-
side a closed vehicle on a warm day can
quickly become high enough to cause a
significant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.
• Do not use Remote Engine Start in closed
spaces such as a garage. Do not breathe
exhaust gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause un-
consciousness or death.
CAUTION
When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or other strong radio wave
sources are present near the operating lo-
cation, the Intelligent Key operating range
becomes narrower, and the Intelligent Key
may not function properly.
The Remote Engine Start function can only
be used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the vehicle.
The Remote Engine Start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the vehicle.
REMOTE STARTING THE
VEHICLE
To use the Remote Engine Start feature per-
form the following:
1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.
2. Press the
button to lock all doors.
3. Within 5 seconds press and hold the
button until the turn signal lights flash and
the tail lamps turn on. If the vehicle is not
within view press and hold the
but-
ton for at least 2 seconds.

WARNING
• Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the assistance of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets should
also not be left alone. They could acci-
dentally injure themselves or others
through inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or colli-
sion, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide)
WARNING
• Do not breathe exhaust gases; they con-
tain colorless and odorless carbon mon-
oxide. Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It
can cause unconsciousness or death. •
If you suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering the vehicle, drive with all win-
dows fully open, and have the vehicle in-
spected immediately.
• Do not run the engine in closed spaces
such as a garage.
• Do not park the vehicle with the engine
running for any extended length of time.
• Keep the rear vent windows, liftgates,
doors and trunk lids (if so equipped)
closed while driving, otherwise exhaust
gases could be drawn into the passenger
compartment. If you must drive with one
of these open, follow these precautions:
1. Open all the windows.
2. Set the
air recirculation button
to off and the fan control dial to high
to circulate the air.
• If electrical wiring or other cable connec-
tions must pass to a trailer through the
seal on the liftgate or the body, follow
the manufacturer's recommendation to
prevent carbon monoxide entry into the
vehicle.
• The exhaust system and body should be
inspected by a qualified mechanic when-
ever:
a. The vehicle is raised for service. b. You suspect that exhaust fumes are
entering into the passenger
compartment.
c. You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system.
d. You have had an accident involving damage to the exhaust system, un-
derbody, or rear of the vehicle.
THREE-WAY CATALYST
The three-way catalyst is an emission control
device installed in the exhaust system. Ex-
haust gases in the three-way catalyst are
burned at high temperatures to help reduce
pollutants.
WARNING
• The exhaust gas and the exhaust system
are very hot. Keep people, animals or
flammable materials away from the ex-
haust system components.
• Do not stop or park the vehicle over
flammable materials such as dry grass,
waste paper or rags. They may ignite and
cause a fire.

WARNING
Failure to follow the warnings and instruc-
tions for proper use of the RCTA system
could result in serious injury or death.
• The RCTA system is not a replacement
for proper driving procedures and is not
designed to prevent contact with ve-
hicles or objects. When backing out of a
parking space, always use the side and
rear mirrors and turn and look in the di-
rection your vehicle will move. Never rely
solely on the RCTA system.
The RCTA system will assist you when back-
ing out from a parking space. When the ve-
hicle is in reverse, the system is designed to
detect other vehicles approaching from the
right or left of the vehicle. If the system de-
tects cross traffic, it will alert you.
