3. Using both hands, simultaneously press andhold 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 HomeLink flashes, 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 flash-
ing 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 2 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
HomeLink to complete the programming
which may require a ladder and another per-
son for convenience.
6. Press and release the “smart” or “learn” pro- gram 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
motor. 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 conve-
nience to assist when performing this step. 7. Within 30 seconds of pressing and releas- ing the garage door opener’s program but- ton, quickly and firmly press and release the
HomeLink
button you’ve just programmed.
Press and release the HomeLink button up
to 3 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 2-4 only.)
NOTE:
Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to
“clear” all previously programmed
HomeLink buttons.
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink buttons, refer to
the HomeLink web site at: www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required hand-
held transmitters to stop transmitting after 2 sec-
onds. To program your hand-held transmitter to
HomeLink, continue to press and hold the
HomeLink button (see steps2-4under “Pro-
gramming HomeLink”) while you press and re-
press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitters every
2 seconds until the indicator light flashes rapidly
(indicating successful programming) .

NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., it is advised to unplug the device dur-
ing the “cycling” process to prevent pos-
sible damage to the garage door opener
components.
OPERATING THE HOMELINK
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver (once pro-
grammed) may now be used to activate the ga-
rage door, etc. To operate, simply press the ap-
propriate programmed HomeLink Universal
Transceiver button. The amber indicator light will
illuminate while the signal is being transmitted.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE-
DIAGNOSIS
If the HomeLink does not quickly learn the hand-
held transmitter information:
● replace the hand-held transmitter batteries
with new batteries.
● position the hand-held transmitter with its
battery area facing away from the
HomeLink surface.
● press and hold both the HomeLink and
hand-held transmitter buttons without inter-
ruption. ●
position the hand-held transmitter1-3
inches (26 - 76 mm) away from the
HomeLink surface. Hold the transmitter in
that position for up to 15 seconds. If
HomeLink is not programmed within that
time, try holding the transmitter in another
position – keeping the indicator light in view
at all times.
If you continue to have programming difficulties,
please contact the NISSAN Consumer Affairs
Department. The phone numbers are located in
the Foreword of this manual.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATION
Individual buttons cannot be cleared. However,
to clear all programming, press and hold the two
outside buttons and release when the indicator
light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds) .
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HOMELINK BUTTON
To reprogram a HomeLink Universal Transceiver
button, complete the following.
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink but-
ton. Do not release the button until step 4
has been completed. 2. When the indicator light begins to flash
slowly (after 20 seconds) , position the
hand-held transmitter1-3inches (26 - 76
mm) away from the HomeLink surface.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button.
4. The HomeLink indicator light will flash, first
slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator
light begins to flash rapidly, release both
buttons.
The HomeLink Universal Transceiver button has
now been reprogrammed. The new device can
be activated by pushing the HomeLink button
that was just programmed. This procedure will
not affect any other programmed HomeLink
buttons.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN
If your vehicle is stolen, you should change the
codes of any non-rolling code device that has
been programmed into HomeLink. Consult the
Owner’s Manual of each device or call the manu-
facturer or dealer of those devices for additional
information.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will
need to reprogram the HomeLink Univer-
sal Transceiver with your new transmitter
information.
Instruments and controls2-61

CAUTION
Always carry the mechanical key installed
in the Intelligent Key slot.
See “Doors” in this section and “Storage” in the
“Instruments and controls” section of this manual.
Valet hand-off
When you have to leave a key with a valet, give
them the Intelligent Key itself and keep the me-
chanical key with you to protect your belongings.
To prevent the glove box or console box from
being opened during valet hand-off, follow the
procedure below. 1. Remove the mechanical key from the Intelli- gent Key.
2. Lock the glove box or console box with the mechanical key.
3. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet and keep the mechanical key with you.
See “Storage” in the “Instruments and controls”
section of this manual.
NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS
You can only drive your vehicle using the master
or valet keys which are registered to the NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System 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 console 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.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra NISSAN Vehicle
Immobilizer System keys. Your dealer can dupli-
cate your existing key. As many as five NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System keys can be used
with one vehicle. You should bring all NISSAN
Vehicle Immobilizer System keys that you have to
your NISSAN dealer for registration. This is be-
cause the registration process will erase the
memory of all key codes previously registered
into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System.
After the registration process, these components
will only recognize keys coded into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System during registration.
Any key that is not given to your dealer at the time
of registration will no longer be able to start your
vehicle.
Do not allow the immobilizer system key, which
contains an electrical transponder, to come into
contact with salt water. This could affect system
function.
