The indicator light in the switch
C
will
illuminate when low or high is selected.
The heater is controlled by a thermostat,
automatically turning the heater on and off.
The indicator light will remain on as long as
the switch is on.

before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn
the switch to the off position (center)
3.
CAUTION

The battery could run down if the
seat heater is operated while the en-
gine is not running.

Do not use the seat heater for ex-
tended periods or when no one is
using the seat.

Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a blan-
ket, cushion, seat cover, etc. Other-
wise, the seat may become over-
heated.

Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin orsimilar object. This may result in
damage to the heater.

Any liquid spilled on the heated seat
should be removed immediately with
a dry cloth.

When cleaning the seat, never use
gasoline, benzine, thinner, or any
similar materials.

If any abnormalities are found or the
heated seat does not operate, turn
the switch off and have the system
checked by a NISSAN dealer.
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system ON for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system, push the VDC OFF switch. The
in-
dicator light will come on.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn ON the system. See “Vehicle

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 programming procedure, your
garage door or security gate may
open or close. Make sure that people
and objects are clear of the garage
door, gate, etc. that you are program-
ming.

Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming theHomeLink
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 “smart or learn” program button.
1. To begin, push 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
1-3 inches away from the HomeLink
sur-
face.

The Intelligent Key uses coded radio signals to
communicate with the vehicle. When the Intelli-
gent Key is near the vehicle, such as when
standing near the vehicle with the Intelligent Key
in your pocket or purse, it allows the vehicle to
be locked or unlocked. And, when you are inside
the vehicle while carrying the Intelligent Key with
you, it allows the engine to be started without
inserting the key to the ignition switch. It is also
possible to use the remote keyless entry func-
tion.
CAUTION

Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key
with you.

Do not leave the vehicle with the
Intelligent Key inside.

The Intelligent Key may not function
correctly depending on the environment
or operating conditions. It could also
malfunction if you do not use it cor-
rectly.

The Intelligent Key transmits faint radio
waves.
In the following situations, the Intelli-
gent Key and remote keyless entry func-tions may not operate correctly, and you
may have to use the metal key (me-
chanical key or valet key):
•when there are strong signals com-
ing from a television tower, power
station or broadcasting station.
•when you have wireless equipment
or a cellular phone with you.
•when the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by a metallic mate-
rial.
•when radio wave-type remote control
entry is used nearby.
•when the Intelligent Key is placed
near an electric appliance such as a
personal computer.

The Intelligent Key continually con-
sumes battery power as the key receives
a signal to communicate with the ve-
hicle. Battery life of the Intelligent Key is
about 2 years, although it varies de-
pending on the operating conditions.
When the battery of the Intelligent Key
is low, the green blinking key warning
light goes out about 30 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned to ON. If the
battery runs down, replace it with a new
one.
If the Intelligent Key receives strong
signal over an extended period of time,
the battery of the Intelligent Key could
quickly run down. Do not place the In-
telligent Key near an electric appliance
such as a television set or personal
computer.

Because the ignition switch is electroni-
cally controlled, if the vehicle battery is
completely discharged when the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK position, the
steering lock cannot be released or the
ignition switch cannot be turned (not by
the mechanical key either).

In case the vehicle battery is completely
discharged, make sure to recharge the
vehicle battery immediately.INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (if so
equipped)
