The light illuminates when the trunk lid is
opened. When the trunk lid is closed, the light
will go off.The HomeLink
Universal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver:

Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and se-
curity systems.

Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink
will retain all program-
ming.
Once the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(for example, new vehicle purchases).
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, refer to “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
” later in this sec-
tion.
WARNING

Do not use the HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by fed-
eral safety standards. (These stan-
dards became effective for opener
models manufactured after April 1,
1982). A garage door opener which
cannot detect an object in the path of
a closing garage door and then auto-
matically stop and reverse, does not
meet current federal safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.

During the programming procedure,
your garage door or security gate will
open or close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people
and objects are clear of the garage
door, gate, etc. that you are
programming.

Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkTo program your HomeLink
Transceiver to op-
erate a garage door, gate, or entry door opener,
home or office lighting, you need to be at the
same location as the device. Note: Garage door
openers (manufactured after 1996) have “rolling
code protection”. To program a garage door
opener equipped with “rolling code protection”;
you will need to use a ladder to get up to the
garage door opener motor to be able to access
the training button.1. To begin, press and hold the 2 outer
HomeLink
buttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light
A
blinks (after 20
seconds). Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter
1-3in(26-76mm)away from the
HomeLink
surface.3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and
hold both the HomeLink
button you want to
program and the hand-held transmitter but-
ton.
DO NOT release the buttons until step 4 has
been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator
light on the HomeLinkflashes, changing
from a “slow blink” to a “rapid blink”. When
the indicator light flashes rapidly, both but-
tons may be released. The rapidly flashing
light indicates successful programming. To
activate the garage door or other pro-
grammed device, press and hold the pro-
grammed HomeLinkbutton - releasing

when the device begins to activate.
5. If the indicator light on the HomeLink
blinks
rapidly for two seconds and then turns solid,
HomeLink
has picked up a “rolling code”
garage door opener signal. You will need to
proceed with the next steps to train the
HomeLinkto complete the programming
which may require a ladder and another
person for convenience.
6. Press and release the training button located
on the garage door opener’s motor to acti-
vate the “training mode”. This button is usu-
ally located near the antenna wire that hangs
down from the motor. If the wire originates
from under a light lens, you will need to
remove the lens to access the training button.
NOTE:
Once you have pressed and released the
training button on the garage door open-
er’s motor and the “training light” is lit, you
have 30 seconds in which to perform step
7. Use the help of a second person for
convenience to assist when performing
this step.
7. Quickly within 30 seconds of pressing and
releasing the garage door opener program
button, firmly press and release the
HomeLinkbutton you’ve just programmed.Press and release the HomeLink
button up
to three times to complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink
button should now be pro-
grammed.
To program the remaining HomeLink
buttons
for additional door or gate openers, follow steps
2-8 only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to
“clear” all previously programmed
HomeLink
buttons.
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink
buttons, refer to
the HomeLink
website at: www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink
FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required hand-
held transmitters to stop transmitting after 2
seconds. To program your hand-held transmitter
to HomeLink
, continue to press and hold the
HomeLinkbutton (note steps 2 through 4
under “Programming HomeLink
”) while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every 2 seconds until the indicator
light flashes rapidly (indicating successful pro-
gramming).NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., it is advised to unplug the device
during the “cycling” process to prevent
possible damage to the garage door
opener components.
OPERATING THE HomeLinkUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVERThe HomeLink
Universal Transceiver (once
programmed) may now be used to activate the
garage door, etc. To operate, simply press the
appropriate programmed HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver button. The red indicator light will
illuminate while the signal is being transmitted.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE
DIAGNOSISIf the HomeLink
does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:

replace the hand-held transmitter batteries
with new batteries.

position the hand-held transmitter with its
battery area facing away from the HomeLink
surface.

press and hold both the HomeLink
and
hand-held transmitter buttons without inter-
ruption.
Instruments and controls
2-45


05.10.18/Z33-D/V5.0


position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in
(50 to 127 mm) away from the HomeLink
surface. Hold the transmitter in that position
for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLink
is not
programmed within that time, try holding the
transmitter in another position - keeping the
indicator light in view at all times.
If you continue to have programming difficulties,
please contact the NISSAN Consumer Affairs
Department. The phone numbers are located in
the Foreword of this Owner’s Manual.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATIONIndividual buttons cannot be cleared, however to
clear all programming, press and hold the two
outside buttons and release when the indicator
light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds).REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HomeLink
BUTTON
To reprogram a HomeLink
Universal Trans-
ceiver button, complete the following.
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
but-
ton.Do notrelease the button until step 4
has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash
slowly (after 20 seconds), position the hand-
held transmitter 2 to 5 in (50 to 127 mm)away from the HomeLink
surface.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter
button.
4. The HomeLink
indicator light will flash, first
slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator
light begins to flash rapidly, release both
buttons.
The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver button
has now been reprogrammed. The new device
can be activated by pushing the HomeLink
button that was just programmed. This proce-
dure will not affect any other programmed
HomeLink
buttons.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLENIf your vehicle is stolen, you should change the
codes of any non-rolling code device that has
been programmed into HomeLink
. Consult the
Owner’s Manual of each device or call the
manufacturer or dealer of those devices for
additional information.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will
need to reprogram the HomeLink
Univer-
sal Transceiver with your new transmitter
information.
