Thebutton will be on the INFINITI
Intelligent Key if the vehicle has Remote En-
gine Start. This feature allows the engine to
start from outside the vehicle.
The following features may be affected
when the Remote Engine Start feature is
used:
• Vehicles with an automatic climate control system may default to either a heating or
cooling mode depending on outside and
cabin temperatures. For additional infor-
mation, see “Remote Engine Start with In-
telligent Climate Control” in the (P. 4-30). 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).

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. The following events will occur when the en-
gine starts:
• The parking lights will turn on and remain
on as long as the engine is running.
• The doors will be locked and the climate control system may come on.
• The engine will continue to run for 10 min- utes. Repeat the steps to extend the time
for an additional 10 minutes. For additional
information, see “Extending engine run
time” (P. 3-19).
Press and hold the brake pedal while switch-
ing the ignition to the ON position before
driving. For additional information, see “Driv-

EXTENDING ENGINE RUN TIME
The Remote Engine Start feature can be ex-
tended one time by performing the steps
listed in “Remote starting the vehicle”

follows:
• The first 10 minute run time will start when the Remote Engine Start function is
performed. • The second 10 minutes will start immedi-
ately when the Remote Engine Start func-
tion is performed again. For example, if the
engine has been running for 5 minutes, and
10 minutes are added, the engine will run
for a total of 15 minutes.
• Extending engine run time will bring you to the two Remote Engine Start limit.
A maximum of two Remote Engine Starts, or
a single start with an extension, are allowed
between ignition cycles.
The vehicle must be driven at speeds of 4
