MY INTELLIGENT KEY IS DEAD. WHAT DO I DO TO START MY INFINITI?

February 20, 2020

The intelligent key that comes with new INFINITI vehicles is certainly convenient, but you might think you’re out of luck if the battery dies. Fortunately, there are ways of starting your INFINITI, even if you have a dead intelligent key.
The method of starting an INFINITI vehicle with a dead key fob will depend on the kind of vehicle that you own. If your INFINITI has a key port on the dashboard, insert your intelligent key with the buttons facing up if you have a horizontal port or towards the driver’s side door if you have a vertical port. From here, press the Start/Stop ignition button while stepping on the brake pedal. Your vehicle should start. 
 If your vehicle lacks this key port, touch the ignition switch with your intelligent key. A chime should sound when you do this. Step on the brake pedal and press the ignition button within ten seconds of hearing the chime to start your car. 
 If you have the INFINITI QX30, you should be able to lift the ignition button to expose the ignition switch. As long as you have a tapered key, you should be able to insert the end of your intelligent key into the switch and start your vehicle the old-fashioned way. If this doesn’t work, you might have to press down on the brake pedal to get rid of any residual pressure in the brake system before trying to start your car again. 
 If you have any issues with your INFINITI intelligent key or any other problems with your INFINITI vehicle, contact INFINITI of Scottsdale to schedule a service appointment. We will be happy to answer any questions that you might have and make sure that your INFINITI vehicle gets back on the road.
