Precautions For IVIS (Infinity Vehicle Immobilizer System-NATS)

NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System)
NATS will immobilize the engine if someone tries to start it without the registered key of NATS.
Both of the originally supplied ignition key IDs have been NATS registered.
The security indicator is located on the instrument panel. The indicator blinks when the ignition switch is in OFF or ACC position. Therefore, NATS warns outsiders that the vehicle is equipped with the anti-theft system.
- When NATS detects trouble, the security indicator lamp lights up while ignition switch is in ON position.
This lighting up indicates that the anti-theft is not functioning, so prompt service is required.
- When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs), CONSULT hardware and CONSULT NATS software is necessary.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialization and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT operation manual, NATS.
Therefore, CONSULT NATS software (program card and operation manual) must be kept strictly confidential to maintain the integrity of the anti-theft function.
- When servicing NATS (trouble diagnoses, system initialization and additional registration of other NATS ignition key IDs), it may be necessary to re-register original key identification. Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner.
A maximum of five key IDs can be registered into NATS.
- When failing to start the engine first time using the key of NATS (for example, when interference is caused by another NATS key, an automated full road device or automated payment device on the key ring), restart as follows.
a. Leave the ignition switch in ON position for approximately 5 seconds.
b. Turn ignition switch to OFF or LOCK position and wait approximately 5 seconds.
c. Repeat step 1 and 2.
d. Restart the engine while holding the device (which may have caused the interference) separate from the registered NATS key. If the no start condition re-occurs, NISSAN recommends placing the registered NATS key on a separate key ring to avoid interference from other devices.

PRECAUTIONS FOR INFINITI COMMUNICATOR (IVCS)
The purpose of INFINITI Communicator is to increase security for the vehicle owner by providing a convenient way to contact the most appropriate emergency assistance provider during an emergency.
Improper operation of the system may result in a police response. The theft warning system also activates INFINITI Communicator. For details, refer to INFINITI Communicator (IVCS).
