DOORS The emergency key cannot be used to start the engine, but it can be used to release the steering lock. Never leave these keys in the vehicle. Your vehicle can only be driven with the keys specific to your vehicle. A key number plate is supplied with your key. Record the key number and keep the key number plate in a safe place, except in the vehicle, in case of the need to duplicate the keys. The key can only be duplicated using an original key or the original key number. The key number is required when you have lost all of the keys and do not have the original key to duplicate from. If the key is lost, or you need extra keys, provide an original key or the key number to an INFINITI dealer. INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM KEY - Master electronic ignition keys: As many as 4 INFINITI electronic ignition keys can be used with one vehicle. New keys must be registered to the INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System components in your vehicle by your INFINITI dealer. Bring all INFINITI electronic ignition keys to your INFINITI dealer for registration. The registration process will erase all memory of the INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System components so all keys require registration. WARNING Always have the doors locked while driving. Along with the use of seat belts, this provides greater safety in the event of an accident by helping to prevent persons from being thrown from the vehicle. This also helps keep children and others from unintentionally opening the doors, and will help keep out intruders. Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic. Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly activate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents. Valet hand-off When you have to leave a key with a valet, give them the electronic key itself and keep the emergency key with you to protect your belongings. To prevent the glove box and the trunk from being opened during valet parking, follow the procedures below. 1. Push the trunk release power cancel switch to the CANCEL side. (See "TRUNK LID" later in this section.) 2. Remove the emergency key from the electronic key. 3. Lock the glove box with the emergency key. (See "STORAGES" in the "2. Instruments and controls" section.) 4. Hand the electronic key to the valet, keeping the emergency key in your pocket or bag for insertion into the electronic key when you retrieve your vehicle.
