NISSAN dealer.
Some indicators and warnings are also
displayed on the vehicle information dis-
play. (See “Vehicle information display”

WARNING LIGHTS
orAnti-lock Braking Sys-
tem (ABS) warning light
When the ignition switch is in the ON
position, the Anti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light illuminates and then
turns off. This indicates the ABS is opera-
tional.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while
the engine is running, or while driving, it
may indicate the ABS is not functioning

recommended you visit a NISSAN dealer
for this service.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-

recommended you have this service
performed by a NISSAN dealer.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
indicator:

3. Press and hold the programmedHomeLink® button and observe the
indicator light.
.If the indicator lightis solid/
continuous, programming is com-
plete and your device should acti-
vate when the HomeLink® button is
pressed and released.
.If the indicator lightblinks rapidly
for two seconds and then turns to a
solid/continuous light, continue
with Steps 4-6 for a rolling code
device. A second person may make
the following steps easier. Use a
ladder or other device. Do not stand
on your vehicle to perform the next
steps. 4. At the receiver located on the garage
door opener 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 hang-
ing 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®

HomeLink® buttons, refer to the
HomeLink® web site at: www.
homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink® FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter 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 de-
signed 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 possi-
ble 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 programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting. Continue to press and hold
the desired HomeLink® button while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-
