WARNING

To avoid risk of injury or death, do not
use the remote engine start function
when the vehicle is in an enclosed area
such as a garage.

JVP0437X

The remote engine start

button is on the

Intelligent Key if the vehicle has remote
engine start function. This function allows
the engine to start from outside the vehicle.

Automatic climate control system will auto-
matically adjust the passenger compartment
to be the set appropriate temperature when
the remote engine start function is used.

Laws in some local communities may restrict
the use of remote starters. For example,
some laws require a person using remote
start to have the vehicle in view. Check local
regulations for any requirements.

Other conditions may affect the remote
engine start function. See “Conditions the
remote start will not work” (P.3-20).

Other conditions can affect the performance
of the Intelligent Key transmitter. See “In-
telligent Key system” (P.3-6).

REMOTE ENGINE START OPER-
ATING RANGE

The remote engine start function can only be
used when the Intelligent Key is within the
specified operating range from the vehicle.

When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent
Key operating range becomes narrower, and
the Intelligent Key may not function prop-
erly.

The remote engine start operating range is
approximately 197 ft (60 m) from the
vehicle.

REMOTE STARTING THE ENGINE

To use the remote start function to start the
engine, perform the following:

1. Aim the Intelligent Key at the vehicle.

2. Push the LOCK

button to lock all

doors.

3. Within 5 seconds push and hold the

The following events will occur when the
engine starts:
. The front parking lights will turn on and

remain on as long as the engine is
running.

. The doors will be locked and the air

conditioner system may turn on.

. The engine will continue to run for about

10 minutes. Repeat the steps to extend

. The first 10 minute run time will start

when the remote engine start function is
performed.

. The second 10 minutes will start imme-

diately when the remote engine start
function is performed. 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 count

towards the two remote start limit.

A maximum of two remote starts, or a single
start with an extension, are allowed be-
tween ignition cycles.

The ignition switch must be cycled to the ON

®

System and do not smoke or allow
open flames or sparks near the ve-
hicle when refueling.

. Do not attempt to top off the fuel

tank after the fuel pump nozzle shuts
off automatically. Continued refuel-
ing may cause fuel overflow, resulting
in fuel spray and possibly a fire.

. Use only an original equipment type

fuel-filler cap as a replacement. It has
a built-in safety valve needed for
proper operation of the fuel system
and emission control system. An in-

correct cap can result in a serious
malfunction and possible injury. It
could also cause the Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) to come on.

. Never pour fuel into the throttle body

to attempt to start your vehicle.

. Do not fill a portable fuel container in

the vehicle or trailer. Static electricity
can cause an explosion of flammable
liquid, vapor or gas in any vehicle or
trailer. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death when filling portable
fuel containers:

— Always place the container on the

ground when filling.

— Do not use electronic devices

when filling.

— Keep the pump nozzle in contact

with the container while you are
filling it.

— Use only approved portable fuel

containers for flammable liquid.

CAUTION

. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body,

flush it away with water to avoid
paint damage.

. Failure to tighten the fuel-filler cap

properly may cause the

Malfunc-

tion Indicator Light (MIL) to illumi-
nate. If the

light illuminates

because the fuel-filler cap is loose or
missing, tighten or install the cap and
continue to drive the vehicle. The
light should turn off after a few
driving trips. If the

light does

not turn off after a few driving trips,
have the vehicle inspected. It is
recommended you visit an INFINITI
retailer for this service.

. The Loose Fuel Cap warning will

appear if the fuel-filler cap is not
properly tightened. It may take a few
driving trips for the warning to be
displayed. Failure to tighten the fuel-
filler cap properly after the Loose
Fuel Cap warning appears may cause
the

Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL) to illuminate.

. For additional information, see “Mal-

function Indicator Light (MIL)” (P.2-
16).

. Do not adjust the steering wheel any

closer to you than is necessary for
proper steering operation and com-
fort. The driver’s air bag inflates with
great force. If you are unrestrained,
leaning forward, sitting sideways or
out of position in any way, you are at
greater risk of injury or death in a
crash. You may also receive serious or
fatal injuries from the air bag if you
are up against it when it inflates.
Always sit back against the seatback
and as far away as practical from the
steering wheel. Always use the seat
belts.
