ADJUSTMENT (if so equipped)
WARNINGO Do not adjust the driver's seat while
driving so full attention may be given
to vehicle operation.
O Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-

Operating tips O The seat motor has an auto-reset overload
protection circuit. If the motor stops during
operation, wait 30 seconds, then reactivate
the switch.
O Do not operate the power seat for a long
period of time when the engine is off. This
will discharge the battery.
See ªAutomatic seat positionerº in the ª3.

The auto reverse function can be activated
when a window is closed by automatic opera-
tion when the ignition key is in the ON position,
or for about 45 seconds after the ignition key is
turned to the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto reverse function may
be activated if an impact or load similar to
something being caught in the window oc-
curs. WARNING There are some small distances imme-
diately before the closed position which
cannot be detected. Make sure that all
passengers have their hands, etc., in-
side the vehicle before closing the win-
dow.

The light illuminates when the trunk lid is
opened. When the trunk lid is closed, the light
will go off. The HomeLink Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink Universal Transceiver:
O Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
O 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 HomeLink Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(i.e., new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For addi-
tional information, refer to ªProgramming
HomeLink º later in this section. WARNING O 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.
O During programming, your garage
door or gate may open or close. Make
sure that people and objects are clear
of the garage door or gate that you
are programming.
O Your vehicle's engine should be
turned off while programming the

programmed HomeLink button - 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
ªrolling codeº garage door opener signal.
You will need to proceed with the next steps
to train the HomeLink to complete the
programming which may require a ladder
and another person for convenience.
6. Press and release the ªsmartº or ªlearnº
program button located on the garage door
opener's motor to activate the ªtraining
modeº. This button is usually 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 program button.
NOTE:
Once you have pressed and released the
program button on the garage door open-
er's motor and the ªtraining lightº 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
HomeLink button you've just pro-
grammed. Press and release the
HomeLink button up to three times to
complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink button should now be
programmed. (To program the remaining
HomeLink buttons for additional door or
gate openers, follow steps 2-8 only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step one unless you want to
ªclearº all previously programmed
HomeLink buttons).
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink buttons,
please refer to the HomeLink web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-662-6200.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting af-
ter 2 seconds. To program your hand-held
transmitter to HomeLink , continue to press
and hold the HomeLink button (note steps 2
through 4 under ªProgramming HomeLink º)
while you press and re-press (ªcycleº) your
hand-held transmitter every 2 seconds until the indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating
successful programming).
NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener, etc.,
it is advised to unplug the device during
the ªcyclingº process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener compo-
nents.
OPERATING THE HomeLink
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER The HomeLink Universal Transceiver (once
programmed) may now be used to activate the
garage door, etc. To operate, simply press the
appropriate programmed HomeLink Univer-
sal Transceiver button. The red indicator light
will illuminate while the signal is being trans-
mitted.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE
DIAGNOSIS If the HomeLink does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
O replace the hand-held transmitter batteries
with new batteries.
O position the hand-held transmitter with its
battery area facing away from the
HomeLink surface. Instruments and controls

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR
LOCK Child safety locking helps prevent doors from
being opened accidentally, especially when
small children are in the vehicle.
When the lever is in the LOCK position, the
rear door can be opened only from the
outside. It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, trunk lid
and fuel filler lid and activate the panic alarm
by using the keyfob from outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The keyfob can operate at a distance of ap-
proximately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
effective distance depends upon the condi-
tions around the vehicle.)
As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the pur-
chase and use of additional keyfob, contact
your INFINITI retailer.
The keyfob will not function when:
O the battery is dead,
O the distance between the vehicle and the
keyfob is over 33 ft (10 m).
The panic alarm and the trunk lid release
will not activate when the key is in the
ignition switch.
CAUTION The following conditions or occurrences
will damage the keyfob. O Do not allow the keyfob to become
wet.
O Do not drop the keyfob.
O Do not strike the keyfob sharply
against another object.
O Do not place the keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140ÉF (60ÉC).
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, INFINITI
recommends erasing the ID code of that
keyfob. This will prevent the keyfob from
unauthorized use to unlock the vehicle.
For information regarding the erasing
procedure, please contact an authorized
INFINITI retailer.
