rails. Cross bars (if so equipped) must be in-
stalled before applying load/cargo/luggage
to the roof of the vehicle. Always distribute
the luggage evenly on the cross bars. Do not
load more than 221 lb (100 kg) on the roof
rails. Observe the maximum load limit shown
on the crossbars or roof carriers when you
attach them on the roof rails.Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails.
Be careful that your vehicle does not exceed
the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or
its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front
and rear). The GVWR and GAWR are located
on the F.M.V.S.S. or C.V.M.S.S. certification
label (located on the driver’s door pillar). For
additional information, refer to "Vehicle load-
ing information".
WARNING
•Always install the cross bars onto the
roof side rails before loading cargo of
any kind. Loading cargo directly onto
the roof side rails or the vehicle’s roof
may cause vehicle damage.
•Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying ca-
pacity, especially if the significant por-
tion of that load is carried on the cross
bars/roof rack.
•Heavy loading of the cross bars/roof
rack has the potential to affect the ve-
hicle stability and handling during sud-
den or unusual handling maneuvers.
•Roof rack load should be evenly distrib-
uted.
•Do not exceed maximum cross bar/roof
rack load weight capacity.
•Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.

WARNING
•Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models manu-
factured after April 1, 1982). A garage
door opener which cannot detect an ob-
ject in the path of a closing garage door
and then automatically stop and re-
verse, 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 engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver.NOTE
Certain garage door drives are incompatible
with the integrated garage door opener.
If you have difficulty programing the inte-
grated garage door opener, it is recom-
mended you contact your INFINITI retailer.
