The light illuminates when the trunk lid is
opened. When the trunk lid is closed, the light
will go off.The Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
THE INTEGRATED HomeLink
TRANSMIT-
TER:
IWill operate garage doors, gates, home/
office lighting systems and security sys-
tems by storing and transmitting the pro-
gramming information of your current hand-
held transmitters.
IIs built-in and powered by your vehicle's
battery and charging system. No separate
batteries are necessary.
Do not use this Integrated HomeLinkTransmitter with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards (these standards be-
came effective for 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 automatically stop and reverse the
door, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death.

PROGRAMMING THE HomeLinkTRANSMITTERDuring the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming your transmitter.The Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter
may not work with older garage door
openers that do not meet current Fed-
eral Consumer Safety Standards.
1. Test the Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter
by pressing any button. The red indicator
light should come on. If you have previously
programmed a button proceed to step 3.
2. Clear all channels on the Integrated
HomeLink
Transmitter by holding down
both outside buttons (#1 & #3) until the red
light begins to flash rapidly (approximately
20 seconds). Then release both buttons.
3. Select which of the three Integrated
HomeLinkTransmitter buttons you want to
program.
4. Hold your hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the Integrated
HomeLinkTransmitter so that you can still
see the red indicator light.
5. Press the desired button until the red indi-
cator light flashes slowly. Do not release
the button. Continue holding and press the
hand-held transmitter button through step
6.
6. Hold down both buttons until the red indi-
cator light on the Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter flashes rapidly (This may take
1-90 seconds). Then release both buttons.
The rapid flashing means that the transmit-
ter has been successfully programmed to
match your hand-held transmitter. You can
now use the Integrated HomeLink
Trans-
mitter instead of your hand-held transmitter.
Note to Canadian users:
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
many hand-held transmitters to stop transmit-
ting after 1 or 2 seconds, even though you
continue to hold down the button. If you think
you have one of these hand-held transmitters,
you should press and re-press the transmitter
button every 2 seconds without ever releasing
the integrated HomeLink
Transmitter button.
The indicator light on the Integrated
HomeLink
Transmitter should blink rapidly
indicating a successful programming proce-
dure. If it returns to the slow blink of program
mode, continue to periodically reactivate your
hand-held transmitter until a successful pro-
gramming procedure is indicated by the rapidly
flashing indicator light.

OPERATING THE TRANSMITTERTo operate, simply press the appropriate but-
ton on the Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter.
The red indicator light illuminates while the
signal is being transmitted. The effective trans-
mission range of the Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter may differ from your hand-held
transmitter.PROGRAMMING PROBLEM
DIAGNOSISBe sure to keep your original hand-held trans-
mitter for possible reprogramming if neces-
sary.
IMake sure batteries in the hand-held trans-
mitter are fully charged.
IHold your hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the Integrated
HomeLink
Transmitter so that you can still
see the red indicator light.
IHold buttons for duration of the program-
ming without interruption.
IRotate your hand-held transmitter end-
over-end and program again. For best re-
sults, place the end opposite the battery
compartment against the Integrated
HomeLinkTransmitter when program-
ming.
ROLLING CODES (if so equipped)If your hand held transmitter appears to train to
the HomeLink
Transmitter, but does not open
your garage door, and your garage door
opener was manufactured after 1995, your
garage door opener may have a code pro-
tected or rolling code feature. This type of
system will change the code of your garage
door opener every time you open or close your
garage door.
To determine if you have one of these sys-
tems, depress the button on the HomeLink
Transmitter that you have just programmed. If
the LED on the HomeLink
Transmitterflashes rapidly for 1 to 2 seconds, then re-
mains on, your garage door opener has a
rolling code system.
To operate your rolling code garage door
opener from your HomeLink
Transmitter, fol-
low these steps:
1. Program your hand held transmitter to the
HomeLink
Transmitter by following the
procedures outlined above (if not yet pro-
grammed).
2. Program your garage door opener receiver
to recognize your HomeLink
Transmitter
(The HomeLink
Transmitter follows the
same procedure to train to the receiver as
your hand held transmitter did when it was
first installed):
a) Remove the cover panel from your ga-
rage door opener receiver. The receiver
should be located by the garage door
opener motor.
b) Locate the training button on the garage
door opener receiver. The exact location
and color of the button may vary by
garage door opener brand. If you have
difficulty locating the training button, ref-
erence your garage door opener
manual. If you have difficulty program-
ming your garage door opener equipped

with a rolling code system to recognize
the HomeLink
Transmitter with the roll-
ing code feature, call NISSAN Con-
sumer Affairs Department.
c) Press the training button on the garage
door opener receiver for 1 to 2 seconds.
d) Return to the HomeLink
Transmitter in
the vehicle, and depress the pro-
grammed HomeLink
button for the du-
ration of the fast blink on the HomeLink
Transmitter (1 to 2 seconds). Release
the button, and re-press to confirm that
the system has trained.
e) Your garage door opener should now
recognize your HomeLink
Transmitter.
You may use either your HomeLink
Transmitter or your original hand held
transmitter to open your garage door.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATIONShould you sell your vehicle, be sure to clear
the channels of the Integrated HomeLinkTransmitter. To clear the channels, simulta-
neously hold down the outside two buttons (#1
& #3) until the red indicator light begins to flash
rapidly (approximately 20 seconds). This will
clear all three buttons. Individual buttons can-
not be cleared, but can be reprogrammed at
any time by following the programming proce-
dures described above.IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLENIf your vehicle has been stolen, you should
change the codes of any device that was
programmed into the Integrated HomeLinkTransmitter as soon as possible. Consult the
owners manual of each device, or call the
manufacturer or dealer of those devices.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will
need to reprogram the Integrated
HomeLink
Transmitter with your new
transmitter information.FCC Notice:
This device complies with FCC rules part
15. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not
cause harmful interference and (2) This
