Your vehicle has two types of security
systems, as follows:

.

Vehicle security system

.

INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System

The security condition will be shown by the
security indicator light.

VEHICLE SECURITY SYSTEM

The vehicle security system provides visual
and audio alarm signals if someone opens
the doors, hood, or trunk lid when the
system is armed. It is not, however, a motion
detection type system that activates when a
vehicle is moved or when a vibration occurs.
The system helps deter vehicle theft but
cannot prevent it, nor can it prevent the
theft of interior or exterior vehicle compo-
nents in all situations. Always secure your
vehicle even if parking for a brief period.
Never leave your Intelligent Key(s) in the
vehicle, and always lock it when unattended.
Be aware of your surroundings, and park in
secure, well-lit areas whenever possible.
Many devices offering additional protection,
such as component locks, identification
markers, and tracking systems, are available
at auto supply stores and specialty shops.
Your INFINITI retailer may also offer such
equipment. Check with your insurance com-
pany to see if you may be eligible for
discounts for various theft protection fea-
tures.

SIC2045

How to arm the vehicle security
system

1. Close all windows.

The system can be armed even if the
windows are open.

2. Push the ignition switch to the OFF

position.

3. Remove the Intelligent Key from the

vehicle.

4. Close all doors, hood and trunk. Lock all

doors. The doors can be locked with the
Intelligent Key, door handle request
switch or power door lock switch.

SECURITY SYSTEMS

5. Confirm that the security indicator light

comes on. The security indicator light
stays on for about 30 seconds. The
vehicle security system is now pre-
armed. After about 30 seconds the
vehicle security system automatically
shifts into the armed phase. The security
light begins to flash once every approxi-
mately 3 seconds. If, during this 30-
second pre-arm time period, the door is
unlocked, or the ignition switch is pushed
to ACC or ON, the system will not arm.

Even when the driver and/or passengers
are in the vehicle, the system will activate
with all doors, hood, and trunk lid locked
with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position. When pushing the ignition switch
to the ACC or ON position, the system will
be released.

Vehicle security system activation

The vehicle security system will give the
following alarm:

.

The headlights blink and the horn sounds

intermittently.

.

The alarm automatically turns off after

approximately 1 minute. However, the
alarm reactivates if the vehicle is tam-
pered with again.

The alarm is activated by:

.

Unlocking the door or opening the trunk

lid without using the UNLOCK button on
the Intelligent Key, the door handle
request switch or one touch unlock
sensor. (Even if the door is opened by
releasing the door inside lock knob or
using the mechanical key, the alarm will
activate.)

.

Opening the hood.

How to stop an activated alarm

The alarm will stop by unlocking a door by
pushing the UNLOCK button on the Intelli-
gent Key, the door handle request switch or
touching the one touch unlock sensor. The
alarm will not stop if the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position.

If the Intelligent Key battery is discharged:

If the Intelligent Key battery is discharged,
the alarm will not stop by pushing the
UNLOCK button on the Intelligent Key, the
door handle request switch or one touch
unlock sensor. In such a case, unlock the
driver’s door using the mechanical key and
touch the ignition switch with the Intelligent
Key to stop the alarm. See “Intelligent Key
battery discharge” (P.5-14) for details.

If the system does not operate as described
above, it is recommended you have it
checked by an INFINITI retailer.
