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.

Static and flutter: During signal interference from
buildings, large hills or due to antenna position,
usually in conjunction with increased distance
from the station transmitter, static or flutter can
be heard. This can be reduced by lowering the
treble setting to reduce the treble response.
Multipath reception: Because of the reflective
characteristics of FM signals, direct and re-
flected signals reach the receiver at the same
time. The signals may cancel each other,
resulting in momentary flutter or loss of sound.
AM radio reception:
AM signals, because of their low frequency, can
bend around objects and skip along the ground.
In addition, the signals can be bounced off the
ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of
these characteristics. AM signals are also
subject to interference as they travel from
transmitter to receiver.
Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing
through freeway underpasses or in areas with
many tall buildings. It can also occur for several
seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in
areas where no obstacles exist.
Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical
power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights.Satellite radio reception (if so equipped):
When the satellite radio is used for the first time
or the battery has been replaced, the satellite
radio may not work properly. This is not a
malfunction. Wait more than 10 minutes with the
satellite radio ON and the vehicle outside of any
metal or large building for the satellite radio to
receive all of the necessary data.
The satellite radio mode requires an active
SiriusXM Satellite Radio subscription. The sa-
tellite radio is not available in Alaska, Hawaii and
Guam.
The satellite radio performance may be affected
if cargo carried on the roof blocks the satellite
radio signal.
If possible, do not put cargo near the satellite
antenna.
A build up of ice on the satellite radio antenna
can affect satellite radio performance. Remove
the ice to restore satellite radio reception.

REGULATORY INFORMATION
FCC Regulatory information
. CAUTION: To maintain compliance with
FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, use only
the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antenna,
modification, or attachments could damage
the transmitter and may violate FCC regula-
tions.
. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
1. this device may not cause interference and
2. this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause un-
desired operation of the device
Center display, heater, air conditioner, audio, phone and voice recognition systems4-87

the low tire pressure warning light
OFF. If the light still illuminates
while driving after adjusting the tire
pressure, a tire may be flat. If you
have a flat tire, replace it with a
spare tire as soon as possible. (See
“Flat tire” (P.6-3) for changing a flat
tire.)
. When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel is replaced, the TPMS will not
function and the low tire pressure
warning light will flash for approxi-
mately 1 minute. The light will
remain on after 1 minute. Contact
your NISSAN dealer as soon as
possible for tire replacement and/
or system resetting.
. Replacing tires with those not ori-
ginally specified by NISSAN could
affect the proper operation of the
TPMS.
. Do not inject any tire liquid or
aerosol tire sealant into the tires,
as this may cause a malfunction of
the tire pressure sensors (for mod-
els not equipped with the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit) .
. If you used the Emergency Tire
Sealant to repair a minor tire punc- ture, your NISSAN dealer will also
need to replace the TPMS sensor in
addition to repairing or replacing
the tire (for models equipped with
the emergency tire puncture repair
kit) .
. NISSAN recommends using only
NISSAN Genuine Emergency Tire
Sealant provided with your vehicle.
Other tire sealants may damage the
valve stem seal which can cause the
tire to lose air pressure (for models
equipped with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit) .
CAUTION
.The TPMS may not function properly
when the wheels are equipped with
tire chains or the wheels are buried
in snow.
. Do not place metalized film or any
metal parts (antenna, etc.) on the
windows. This may cause poor re-
ception of the signals from the tire
pressure sensors, and the TPMS will
not function properly. Some devices and transmitters may temporarily
interfere with the operation of the TPMS and
cause the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate. Some examples are:
.
Facilities or electric devices using similar
radio frequencies are near the vehicle.
. If a transmitter set to similar frequencies is
being used in or near the vehicle.
. If a computer (or similar equipment) or a DC/
AC converter is being used in or near the
vehicle.

NOTE:
Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority
to operate the equipment.
Starting and driving5-5

7-4Appearance and care
.If glass cleaner gets on the soft top,
immediately wash it off with clean
water.
. Do not apply direct water pressure,
such as high pressured water from
household hoses, on the lining of
the soft top and vehicle body, as this
may cause water to leak into the
inside of your vehicle.
After cleaning, always be sure the top and its
storage are completely drybefore opening the
top. Opening the top while it is wet or damp may
cause interior water damage, water stains or
mildew on the top.
WAXING
Regular waxing protects the paint surface and
helps retain new vehicle appearance. Polishing
is recommended to remove built-up wax residue
and to avoid a weathered appearance before
reapplying wax.
A NISSAN dealer can assist you in choosing the
proper product.
. Wax your vehicle only after a thorough
washing. Follow the instructions supplied
with the wax.
. Do not use a wax containing any abrasives,
cutting compounds or cleaners that may damage the vehicle finish.
Machine compound or aggressive polishing on a
base coat/clear coat paint finish may dull the
finish or leave swirl marks.
REMOVING SPOTS
Remove tar and oil spots, industrial dust,
insects, and tree sap as quickly as possible
from the paint surface to avoid lasting damage
or staining. Special cleaning products are
available at a NISSAN dealer or any automotive
accessory stores.
UNDERBODY
In areas where road salt is used in winter, the
underbody must be cleaned regularly. This will
prevent dirt and salt from building up and
causing the acceleration of corrosion on the
underbody and suspension. Before the winter
period and again in the spring, the underseal
must be checked and, if necessary, re-treated.
GLASS
Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust
film from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass
to become coated with a film after the vehicle is
parked in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft
cloth will easily remove this film.
CAUTION
. When cleaning the inside of the
windows, do not use sharp-edged
tools, abrasive cleaners or chlorine-
based disinfectant cleaners. They
could damage the electrical conduc-
tors, radio antenna elements or rear
window defroster elements.
. If glass cleaner gets on the soft top,
immediately wash it off with clean
water (Roadster models) .
WHEELS
Wash the wheels when washing the vehicle to
maintain their appearance.
.Clean the inner side of the wheels when the
wheel is changed or the underside of the
vehicle is washed.
. Inspect wheel rims regularly for dents or
corrosion. Such damage may cause loss of
pressure or poor seal at the tire bead.
. NISSAN recommends that the road wheels
be waxed to protect against road salt in
areas where it is used during winter.
