To activate or deactivate the courtesy light,

Infiniti InTouch Owner’s Manual. 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:
. Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates,
home and office lighting, entry door
locks and security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s 12-volt
battery. No separate batteries are
required. If the vehicle’s 12-volt battery
is discharged or is disconnected,
HomeLink
®will retain all programming.
When the HomeLink®Universal Transcei-
ver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (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
®” (P.2-62).
WARNING
. Do not use the HomeLink®Universal
Transceiver with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by federal safety
standards. (These standards became
effective for opener models manufac-
tured after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object in
the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. 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
and close (if the transmitter is within
range). Make sure that people or objects
are clear of the garage door, gate, etc.
that you are programming.
. Your vehicle’s INFINITI Direct Response
Hybrid
®System should be turned off
while programming the HomeLink®Uni-
versal Transceiver. Do not breathe ex-
haust gases; they contain colorless and
odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon mon-
oxide is dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.

3-2Pre-driving checks and adjustments
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, see an
INFINITI retailer for duplicates by using the
key number. INFINITI does not record any
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, this
key can be duplicated by an INFINITI
retailer.

INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to
your vehicle’s Intelligent Key system com-
ponents and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer
System components. As many as 4 Intelli-
gent Keys can be registered and used with
one vehicle. The new keys must be
registered by an INFINITI retailer prior to
use with the Intelligent Key system and
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System of your
vehicle. Since the registration processrequires erasing all memory in the Intelli-
gent Key components when registering
new keys, be sure to take all Intelligent
Keys that you have to the INFINITI retailer.
It is possible that the Intelligent Key
functions become canceled. Contact an
INFINITI retailer.
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 resis-
tant; 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 itagainst another object.
—If the outside temperature is below
148 F(−108 C), the battery of the
Intelligent Key may not function
properly.
KEYS

—Do not place the Intelligent Key foran extended period in a place where
temperatures exceed 1408F (608C).
—Do not change or modify the In-telligent Key.
—Do not use a magnet key holder.
—Do not place the Intelligent Key nearan electric appliance such as a
television set or 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 Intelligent Key. This will prevent
the Intelligent Key from unauthorized
use to unlock the vehicle. For informa-
tion regarding the erasing procedure,
contact an INFINITI retailer.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-3

3-4Pre-driving checks and adjustments
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.
. Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly
activate switches or controls. Unat-
tended children could become involved
in serious accidents.
