4. At the receiver located on the garage dooropener motor in the garage, locate the
“learn” or “smart” button (the name and
color of the button may vary by manufacturer
but it is usually located near where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to the
unit). If there is difficulty locating the button,
reference the garage door opener’s manual.
5. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button.
NOTE:
Once the button is pressed, you have
approximately 30 seconds to initiate
the next step.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the programmed HomeLink
®button for
two seconds and release. Repeat the
“press/hold/release” sequence up to 3
times to complete the programming pro-
cess. HomeLink
®should now activate your
rolling code equipped device.
7. If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink
®but-
tons, refer to the HomeLink®web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®FOR CA-
NADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans-
mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission – which may not be
long enough for HomeLink
®to pick up the signal
during programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to
“time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
programming a gate operator or garage door
opener by using the “Programming HomeLink
®”
procedures, replace “Programming HomeLink®”
Step 2 with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible damage to the
garage door opener components.
Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously press
and hold the desired HomeLink
®button and the
hand-held transmitter button. During program-
ming, your hand-held transmitter may automati-
cally stop transmitting. Continue to press and
hold the desired HomeLink
®button while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until the fre-
quency signal has been learned. The HomeLink
®
indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly
after several seconds upon successful program-
ming. DO NOT release until the HomeLink
®
indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The rapid flashing
indicates successful programming.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink
®” step 3
to complete.
Remember to plug the device back in when
programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HomeLink®UNIVER-
SAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLink®Universal Transceiver, after it is
programmed, can be used to activate the
programmed device. To operate, simply press
and release the appropriate programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver button. The
amber indicator light will illuminate while the
signal is being transmitted.
For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of
the device may also be used at any time.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
If the soft top stops halfway during operation or does not operate normally, follow the procedures shown in the following table. If the procedures in the
following table do not solve the symptom, immediately contact a NISSAN dealer for the inspection.

pushed while the soft top is fully closed. Push the CLOSE side of the soft top operating
switch when the soft top is fully open. Push the
OPEN side of the soft top operating switch when the
soft top is fully closed.
Sounds twice The shift lever is in the R (Reverse) position. Shift the shift lever to the P (Park) or N (Neutral)
position (automatic transmission models only), or shift
the shift lever to the N (Neutral) position (manual
transmission models only) , and then operate the soft
top.
Sounds twice The trunk lid is opened. Fully close the trunk lid.
Does not sound The battery voltage is low. Start the engine again and operate the soft top.
Does not sound The operation stops to protect the system. Wait for approximately 5 minutes.
The soft top stops halfway during opera-
tion. Sounds twice
Objects are trapped in the moving structure of the
soft top. Check that an object is not trapped inside the rear
parcel shelf, side flap and soft top. After the check,
place the ignition switch in the OFF position, start the
engine again and then operate the soft top.
Sounds twice The battery voltage is low. Start the engine again and operate the soft top.
When the vehicle is being driven, the beep
sounds. Sounds continu-
ously The soft top is partially opened. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe location and

5. When the vehicle is parked in the spacecompletely, move the shift lever to the P
(Park) position (Automatic Transmission
models) or in an appropriate gear (Manual
Transmission models) and apply the parking
brake.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PREDICTIVE
AND ACTUAL DISTANCES
The distance guide line and the vehicle width
guide line should be used as a reference only
when the vehicle is on a level, paved surface.
The distance viewed on the monitor is for
reference only and may be different from the
actual distance between the vehicle and dis-
played objects.
SAA1899
Backing up on a steep uphill
When backing up the vehicle up a hill, the
distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide
lines are shown closer than the actual distance.
For example, the display shows 3 ft (1 m) to the
place
*A, but the actual 3 ft (1 m) distance on
the hill is the place
*B. Note that any object on the hill is further than it appears on the monitor.
