NIC2672
2-84Instruments and controls

Do not apply any load directly to the roof side
rails. Cross bars (if so equipped) must be in-
stalled before applying load/cargo/luggage
to the roof of the vehicle.
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" in the "10. Technical infor-
mation" section.
WARNING
•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 roof
rack.
•Heavy loading of the roof rack has the
potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or unusual
handling maneuvers.
•Roof rack load should be evenly distrib-
uted.
•Do not exceed maximum 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.
CAUTION

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, inte-
grated in the vehicle's inside rear view mirror,
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
security systems.
•Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the ve-
hicle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all pro-
gramming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures (Ex-
ample: 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 "Programming
HomeLink® " later in this section.
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.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink® but-
tons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call

tem.
If indicator light
1lights up red: repeat
the programing procedure for the corre-
sponding button on the rear-view mirror.
When doing so, vary the distance be-
tween the hand held transmitter
5and
the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between the hand
held transmitter
5and the integrated ga-
rage door opener depends on the garage
door drive system. Several attempts might
be necessary. You should test every posi-
tion for at least 25 seconds before trying
another position.
Synchronizing the rolling code
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronize the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this you
will need to use the programing button on the door drive control panel. The programing
button may be positioned at different loca-
tions depending on the manufacturer. It is
usually located on the door drive unit on the
garage ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door
drive operating instructions before carrying
out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach of the ga-
rage door or gate opener drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
objects are present within the sweep of the
door or gate.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
2. Get out of the vehicle.
3. Press the programing button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to ini-
tiate the next step.
4. Get into the vehicle.
5. Press previously programed button
2,3or4on the HomeLink® until the door
closes.
The rolling code synchronization is then com-
plete.

If you live in Canada
Canadian radio frequency laws require a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals after broadcasting for a few seconds.
Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated garage door
opener. The signal is not recognized during
programing. Comparable with Canadian law,
some U.S. garage door openers also feature a
"break".
Proceed as follows:
•If you live in Canada
•If you have difficulties programing the ga-
rage door opener (regardless of where you
live) when using the programing steps.
1. Press and hold one of buttons
2to4on
the HomeLink®. After a short time, indi-
cator light

2. Release the button. Indicator light
1flashes yellow.
3. Press button
6of the hand held trans-
mitter
5for two seconds, then release it
for two seconds.
4. Press button
6again for two seconds.
5. Repeat this sequence on button
6of the
hand held transmitter
5until indicator
light
1lights up green. When indicator light
1lights up green:
programing is finished.
When indicator light
1flashes green:
programing was successful. The next step
is to synchronize the rolling code.
6. Release button
6of the hand held trans-
mitter
5for the garage door drive.
If indicator light
1lights up red: repeat
the programing process for the corre-
sponding button on the rear-view mirror.
When doing so, vary the distance be-
tween the hand held transmitter
5and
the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between the hand
held transmitter
5and the HomeLink®
depends on the garage door drive system.
Several attempts might be necessary. You
should test every position for at least 25
seconds before trying another position.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE
DIAGNOSIS
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
•Check the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive hand-held transmitter
5and whether it is supported. The trans-
mitter frequency can usually be found on
the back of the garage door drive hand- held transmitter. HomeLink® is compat-
ible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequency range of 280 to
433 MHz.
•Replace the hand-held transmitter5bat-
teries with new batteries.
This increases the likelihood that the hand-
held transmitter
5will transmit a strong
and precise signal to the HomeLink®.
•When programing, hold the hand-held
transmitter
5at varying distances and
angles from the button which you are pro-
graming. Try various angles at a distance
between 2 and 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) or at
the same angle but at varying distances.
•If another hand-held transmitter is avail-
able for the same garage door drive, re-
peat the same programing steps with this
hand-held transmitter
5. Before per-
forming these steps, make sure that new
batteries have been installed in the hand-
held transmitter
5.
•Note that some hand-held transmitters
only transmit for a limited amount of time
(the indicator light on the hand-held trans-
mitter goes out). Press button
6on re-
mote hand-held transmitter
5again be-
fore transmission ends.
2-90Instruments and controls

•Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/ transmission.
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink® but-
tons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515.
OPERATING THE HOMELINK®
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
