2022 Infiniti QX50 Keys and Smart Key

The 2022 Infiniti QX50 has a high-tech key and smart key system that blends safety and convenience without any problems. The QX50’s standard key is a traditional physical key fob that can be used to manually lock and open doors by inserting it into the handle or to start the engine by inserting it into the ignition switch. The QX50, on the other hand, is up-to-date with its smart key, which makes things easier. With this high-tech keyless entry system, drivers can get into the car and start the engine without taking the key fob out of their pocket or bag. It shows that Infiniti is dedicated to combining history and technology, making sure that the 2022 QX50 is both easy to use and safe to drive.

KEYS   

Type A (if so equipped)

1. Intelligent Keys (two sets)
2. Mechanical key
3. Key number plate (one plate)

INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY

Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intelligent Keys which are registered to your vehicle’s Intelligent Key System components and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System components

Type B (if so equipped)

Never leave the keys in the vehicle.
As many as four Intelligent Keys can be registered and used with one vehicle. The new keys must be registered prior to use with the Intelligent Key System and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System of your vehicle. It is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for this service. Since the registration process requires erasing all memory in the Intelligent Key components when registering new keys, be sure to take all Intelligent Keys that you have to an INFINITI retailer.

A key number plate is supplied with your keys. Record the key number and keep it in a safe place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle. If you lose your keys, it is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer for duplicates by using the key number. INFINITI does not re-cord key numbers so it is very important to keep track of your key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you have lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate from. If you still have a key, it can be duplicated without knowing the key number.

CAUTION
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you when driving. The Intelligent Key is a precision device with a built-in transmit-ter. To avoid damaging it, please note the following

• The Intelligent Key is water resistant; however, wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, immediately wipe until it is completely dry.
• Do not bend, drop or strike it against another object.
• If the outside temperature is below 14°F (-10°C), the battery of the Intelligent Key may not function properly.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in a place where tem-peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
  Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.
  Do not use a magnet key holder.
  Do not place the Intelligent Key near an electric appliance such as a television set or a personal computer.
  Do not allow the Intelligent Key to come into contact with water or salt water, and do not wash it in a washing machine. This could affect the system function.

If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, INFINITI recommends erasing the ID code of that In-telligent Key from the vehicle. This may pre-vent the unauthorized use of the Intelligent Key to operate the vehicle. For information regarding the erasing procedure, it is recommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer

Mechanical key
The Intelligent Key contains the mechanical key.
To remove the mechanical key, release the lock knob on the back of the Intelligent Key.
To install the mechanical key, firmly insert it into the Intelligent Key until the lock knob returns to the lock position.
Use the mechanical key to lock or unlock the driver’s door and glove box if they are equipped with a key cylinder.

CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key installed in the Intelligent Key slot.

For additional information, see “Doors and “Glove box”

Valet hand-off
When you have to leave a key with a valet, give them the Intelligent Key itself and keep the mechanical key with you to protect your belongings.
To prevent the glove box from being opened during valet hand-off, follow the procedure below.

1. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelligent Key.
2. Lock the glove box with the mechanical key.
3. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet and keep the mechanical key with you.

For additional information, see “Glove box

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER

SYSTEM KEYS
Additional or replacement keys
If you still have a key, the key number is not necessary when you need extra INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System keys. Your existing key can be duplicated without knowing the key number. As many as four INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System keys can be used with one vehicle. You should bring all INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System keys that you have to the INFINITI retailer for registration. This is because the registration process will erase the memory of all key codes previously registered into the INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System. After the registration process, these components will only recognize keys coded into the INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System during registration. Any key that is not given to the retailer at the time of registration will no longer be able to start your vehicle.

CAUTION
Do not allow the immobilizer system key, which contains an electrical transponder, to come into contact with water or salt water. This could affect system function.

DOORS
When the doors are locked using one of the following methods, the doors cannot be opened using the inside or outside door handles. The doors must be unlocked to open the doors.

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.

To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the vehicle and/or its systems, including entrapment in windows or inadvertent door lock activation, do not leave children’s, people who require the assistance of others or pets unattended in your vehicle. Additionally, the temperature in-side a closed vehicle on a warm day can quickly become high enough to cause a significant risk of injury or death to people and pets.
