Looking for information about your Infiniti QX60’s anti-theft system? You’ve come to the right place. The Infiniti QX60, known for its luxury and performance, is equipped with a sophisticated anti-theft system designed to deter potential thieves and protect your investment.
Understanding the Infiniti QX60 Anti-theft System
The Infiniti QX60 comes standard with an advanced anti-theft system that includes an immobilizer system and an alarm system.
Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system is an electronic security feature that prevents the engine from starting without the correct key. It works by communicating with a chip embedded in your Infiniti QX60’s key. When you insert the key and attempt to start the car, the immobilizer system verifies the key’s authenticity. If the key is not recognized, the system will prevent the engine from starting.
Alarm System
The alarm system is designed to deter theft by triggering a loud audible alarm and flashing the vehicle’s lights if it detects unauthorized entry or movement.

Key Fob Malfunctions
Over time, the battery in your key fob may die, preventing the immobilizer from recognizing it. Replacing the key fob battery is a simple fix.
Sensor Problems
