SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
 The INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM-NAT S [IVIS (NATS)] prevents the engine from being
started by Intelligent Key whose ID is not registered to the vehicle (BCM). It has higher protection against
auto theft involving the duplication of mechanical keys.
 The ignition key integrated in the Intelligent Key cannot start the engine. When the Intelligent Key battery is
discharged, the IVIS (NATS) ID verification is performed between the transponder integrated with Intelligent
Key and BCM via NATS antenna amp. when the Intelligent Key backside is contacted to push-button ignition
switch. If the verification results are OK, the engine start operation can be performed by the push-button igni-
tion switch operation.
 Locate the security indicator lamp and apply the anti-t heft system equipment sticker that warns that the IVIS
(NATS) is on board the model.
 Security indicator lamp always blinks when the pow er supply position is any position other than ON.
 Up to 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered (including the standard ignition key) upon request from the owner.
 Specified registration is required when replacing ECM, BCM or Intelligent Key. For the registration proce-
dures, refer to CONSULT-III O peration Manual NATS-IVIS/NVIS.
 Possible symptom of IVIS (NATS) malfunction is “Engine cannot start”. The engine can not be started
because of other than IVIS (NATS) malfunction, so start the trouble diagnosis according to SEC-48, "
Work
Flow".
 If ECM other than genuine part is installed, the engi ne cannot be started. For ECM replacement procedure,
refer to EC-143, "
Work Procedure".

PRECAUTIONS FOR KEY REGISTRATION
 The ID registration is a procedure that erases the cu
rrent IVIS (NATS) ID once, and then reregisters a new
ID. Therefore before starting the registration operation, collect all registered Intelligent Keys from the cus-
tomer.
 When registering the Intelligent Key, perform only one procedure to simultaneously register both ID [IVIS
(NATS) ID and Intelligent Key ID].
SECURITY INDICATOR LAMP
 Warns that the vehicle is equipped with IVIS (NATS).
 Security indicator lamp always blinks when the pow er supply position is any position other than ON.
NOTE:
Because security indicator lamp is highly efficient, the battery is barely affected.
ENGINE START OPERATION WHEN INTELLIGENT KEY IS CONTACTED TO PUSH-BUTTON IG-
NITION SWITCH
1. When brake pedal is depressed while selector leve r is in the P position, BCM activates NATS antenna
amp. that is located behind push-button ignition switch.
2. When Intelligent Key (transponder built-in) backsi de is contacted to push-button ignition switch, BCM
starts IVIS (NATS) ID verification between BCM and Intelligent Key (transponder built-in) via NATS
antenna amp.
3. When the IVIS (NATS) ID verification result is OK, buzzer in combination meter sounds and BCM trans-
mits the result to ECM.
4. When push-button ignition switch is pressed, BCM transmits steering unlock signal to steering lock unit
and IPDM E/R.
5. IPDM E/R turns steering lock relay ON and supplies power supply to the steering lock unit.
6. The steering lock is released.
7. BCM transmits the power supply stop signal to IPDM E/R when detecting that the steering lock is in the
unlock position.
8. IPDM E/R turns steering lock relay OFF and stops power supply to the steering lock unit.
9. BCM turns ACC relay ON and transmits ignition power supply ON signal to IPDM E/R.
10. IPDM E/R turns the ignition relay ON and starts the ignition power supply.
11. BCM detects that the selector lever position is P or N.
12. BCM transmits starter request signal to IPDM E/R and turns the starter relay in IPDM E/R ON if BCM judges that the engine start condition* is satisfied.
13. IPDM E/R turns the starter control relay ON when receiving the starter request signal.
14. Power supply is supplied through the starter relay and the starter control relay to operate the starter motor.
15. When BCM receives feedback signal from ECM indica ting that the engine is started, BCM transmits a
stop signal to IPDM E/R and stops cranking by turning off the starter motor relay. (If engine start is unsuc-
cessful, cranking stops automatically within 5 seconds.)
*: For the engine start condition, refer to “POWER SUPPLY POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY PUSH-BUTTON
IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION” below.
POWER SUPPLY POSITION CHANGE TABLE BY PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERA-
TION
The power supply position changing operation can be performed with the following operations.
NOTE:
 When an Intelligent Key is within the detection area of inside key antenna and when Intelligent Key backside
is contacted to push-button ignition switch, it is equivalent to the operations below.
 When starting the engine, the BCM monitors under the engine start conditions,
- Brake pedal operating condition
- Selector lever position
- Vehicle speed
Vehicle speed: less than 4 km/h (2.5 MPH)

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM : System Description
INFOID:0000000006226185
 The vehicle security system has two alarm functions (theft warning alarm and panic alarm), and reduces the
possibility of a theft or mischief by activating horns and headlamps intermittently.
 The panic alarm does not start when the theft warning alarm is activating, and the panic alarm stops when
the theft warning alarm is activated.
The priority of the functions are as per the following.
THEFT WARNING ALARM
 The theft warning alarm function activates horns and headlamps intermittently when BCM detects that any
door or hood is opened by unauthorized means, whil e the system is in the ARMED state.
 Security indicator lamp on combination meter always blinks when power supply position is any position other
than ON. Security indicator lamp blinking warns that the vehicle is equipped with a vehicle security system.

NOTE:
 BCM ignores the door key cylinder UNLOCK switch signal input for 1 second after the door key cylinder LOCK switch signal input .
 To lock/unlock all doors by operating remote controller button of Intelligent Key or door request switch, Intelligent Key must be within
the detection area of outside key antenna. For details, refer to DLK-18, "
INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM : System Description".
 To open back door by operating back door opener switch, Intelligent Key must be within the detection area of outside key anten na. For
details, refer to DLK-18, "
INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM : System Description".
DISARMED Phase
The vehicle security system is not set in the DISARM ED phase. The vehicle security system stays in this
phase while any door is open, because it is assumed that the owner is inside or nearby the vehicle. Security
indicator lamp blinks every 2.4 seconds.
When the vehicle security system is reset, each phase switches to the DISARMED phase directly.
PRE-ARMED Phase
The PRE-ARMED phase is the transient state bet ween the DISARMED phase and the ARMED phase. This
phase is maintained for 30 seconds, so that the owner c an reset the setting due to a mis-operation. This phase
switches to the ARMED phase when vehicle conditions are not changed for 30 seconds. Security indicator
lamp illuminates while being in this phase.
To reset the PRE-ARMED phase, refer to the switching condition of No. 10 in the table above.
ARMED Phase
The vehicle security system is set, and BCM monitors all necessary inputs. If any door or hood is opened with-
out using Intelligent Key, vehicle security system switc hes to the ALARM phase. Security indicator lamp blinks
every 2.4 seconds.
To reset the ARMED phase, refer to the switching condition of No. 11 in the table above.
ALARM Phase
BCM transmits “Theft Warning Horn Request” signal and “High Beam Request” signal intermittently to IPDM
E/R via CAN communication. In this phase, horns and headlamps are activated intermittently for approxi-
mately 50 seconds to warn that the vehicle is accessed by unauthorized means. ON/OFF timing of horns and
headlamps are synchronized. After 50 seconds, the vehi cle security system returns to the ARMED phase. At

this time, if BCM still detects unauthorized access to t
he vehicle, the system is switched to the ALARM phase
again. This RE-ALARM operation is carried out a maximum of 2 times.
To cancel the ALARM operation, refer to the switching condition of No. 12 in the table above.
NOTE:
If a battery terminal is disconnected during the ALARM phase, theft warning alarm stops. But when the battery
terminal is reconnected, theft warning alarm is activated again.
PRE-RESET Phase
The PRE-RESET phase is the transient state betw een each phase and DISARMED phase. If only the condi-
tion of hood is not satisfied, the system switches to the PRE-RESET phase. Then, when any condition is
changed, the system switches to t he DISARMED phase or PRE-ARMED phase.
PANIC ALARM
 The panic alarm function activates horns and headlamps intermittently when the owner presses the PANIC
ALARM button of Intelligent Key outside the vehicle while the power supply position is OFF or LOCK.
 When BCM receives panic alarm signal from Intelligent Key, BCM transmits “Theft Warning Horn Request”
signal and “High Beam Request” signal intermittently to IPDM E/R via CAN communication. To prevent the
activation due to mis-operation of Intelligent Key by ow ner, the panic alarm function is activated when BCM
receives the signal for 0.4 - 0.6 seconds.
 Panic alarm operation is maintained for 25 seconds.
 Panic alarm operation is cancelled when BCM receives one of the following signals.
- LOCK button of Intelligent Key: ON
- UNLOCK button of Intelligent Key: ON
- PANIC ALARM button of Intelligent Key: Long pressed
- Any door request switch: ON
