Universal Transceiver 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 se-
curity systems.
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 HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(for 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

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, 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.
Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink
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, press and hold the 2 outer
HomeLink
buttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light blinks slowly (after 20
seconds). Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter
1-3 inches away from the HomeLink
sur-
face.

3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and
hold both the HomeLink
button you want to
program and the hand-held transmitter but-
ton.
DO NOT release the buttons until step 4 has
been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator
light on the HomeLinkflashes, changing
from a “slow blink” to a “rapidly flashing
blink”. This could take up to 90 seconds.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The rapidly flashing
light indicates successful programming. To
activate the garage door or other pro-
grammed device, press and hold the pro-grammed 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 “rolling code”
garage door opener signal. You will need to
proceed with the next steps to train the
HomeLinkto complete the programming
which may require a ladder and another
person for convenience.
6. Press and release the “smart” or “learn”
program button located on the garage door
opener’s motor to activate the “training
mode”. This button is usually located near the
antenna wire that hangs down from the mo-
tor. 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 “training light” 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 programbutton, firmly press and release the
HomeLink
button you’ve just programmed.
Press and release the HomeLink
button up
to three times to complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink
button should now be pro-
grammed. (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
“clear” all previously programmed
HomeLinkbuttons).
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink
buttons, please
refer to the HomeLink
website at: ww-
w.homelink.com or call 1-800-NISSAN-1 (1-
800-647-7261).

You can only drive your vehicle using the master
or valet keys which are registered to the Nissan
Vehicle Immobilizer System (NVIS) components
in your vehicle. These keys have a transponder
chip in the key head.
The master key can be used for all the locks.
The valet key cannot be used for the rear floor
box lock. To protect belongings when you leave
a key with someone, give them the valet key only.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
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.NISSAN 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 your NISSAN dealer.
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System (NVIS) KEY -
Master and Valet keys:
As many as 5 keys can be used with one vehicle.
New keys must be registered to the NVIS com-
ponents in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer.
At this time, you should bring all NVIS keys that
you have to your NISSAN dealer for registration.
This is because the registration process will
erase all memory of the NVIS components.
CAUTION
Do not allow the NVIS key, which con-
tains an electrical transponder, to come
in contact with salt water. This could
cause the system to malfunction.
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 uninten-
tionally 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 in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.

LOCKING WITH POWER DOOR
LOCK SWITCHAll door locks will be engaged when the power
door lock switch is moved to the LOCK position
with the driver’s or front passenger’s door open.
Then close the door and all doors will be locked.Lockout protectionWhen the power door lock switch (driver or front
passenger) is moved to the LOCK position with
the key in the ignition and any door open, all
doors will lock and unlock automatically. This
helps to prevent the keys from being accidentally
locked inside the vehicle.It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including
the rear hatch/trunk lid), release the rear
hatch/trunk lid and activate the panic alarm by
using the keyfobfrom outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The keyfobcan operate at a distance of approxi-
mately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
effective distance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.)
As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the purchase
and use of additional keyfobs, contact your
NISSAN dealer.
The keyfobwill not function when:
the battery is discharged,
the distance between the vehicle and the
keyfobis over 33 ft (10 m).
The panic alarm and the rear hatch/trunk
lid release will not activate when the key is
in the ignition switch.
CAUTION
The following conditions or occurrences
will damage the keyfob.Do not allow the keyfob to become
wet.
Do not drop the keyfob.
Do not strike the keyfob sharply
against another object.
Do not place the keyfob for an ex-
tended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN
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 a
NISSAN dealer.
