PROGRAMMING HomeLink1. With the ignition key in the OFF position,
press and hold the two outside buttons, and
release when the indicator light begins to
flash (approximately 20 seconds). This pro-
cedure erases the factory set default codes
and does not have to be followed when
programming additional hand-held trans-
mitters.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter
(from the device you wish to train) approxi-
mately 2 to 5 inches (50 to 127 mm) away
from the surface of HomeLink
keeping the
indicator light in view.3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the
hand-held transmitter button and the de-
sired HomeLink
button. Do not release the
buttons until step 4 has been completed.
NOTE:
Some garage door openers may require
the procedures noted under ªCanadian
Programmingº.
4. The HomeLinkindicator light will flash,
first slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons
may be released. The rapid flashing light
indicates the Integrated HomeLink
Univer-
sal Transceiver has been successfully pro-
grammed.
To program the remaining two buttons, follow
steps 2 through 4.
If, after repeated attempts, you do not suc-
cessfully program the Integrated HomeLink
Universal Transceiver to learn the signal of the
hand-held transmitter, refer to ªRolling Code
Programmingº later in this section.CANADIAN PROGRAMMINGPrior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting af-
ter 2 seconds. To program your hand-held
transmitter to HomeLink
, continue to pressand hold the HomeLink
button (note steps 2
through 4 under ªProgramming HomeLink
º)
while you press and re-press (ªcycleº) your
hand-held transmitter every 2 seconds until
the indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating
successful programming).
NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener, etc.,
it is advised to unplug the device during
the ªcyclingº process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener compo-
nents.
OPERATING THE INTEGRATED
HomeLink
UNIVERSAL
TRANSCEIVER
The Integrated HomeLink
Universal Trans-
ceiver (once programmed) may now be used
to activate the garage door, etc. To operate,

The air conditioning system in your NISSAN
vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed
with the environment in mind.This refrigerant
will not harm the earth's ozone layer.How-
ever, special charging equipment and lubricant
are required when servicing your NISSAN air
conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lu-
bricants will cause severe damage to your air
conditioning system. See ªCapacities and rec-
ommended fuel/lubricantsº in the ª10. Techni-
cal and consumer informationº section for air
conditioning system refrigerant and lubricant
recommendations.
Your NISSAN dealer will be able to service
your environmentally friendly air conditioning
system.The air conditioner system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
personal injury, any air conditioner ser-
vice should be done only by an experi-
enced technician with proper equip-
ment.
RADIOTo turn the radio on, turn the ignition key to
ACC or ON. If you listen to the radio with the
engine not running, turn the key to the ACC
position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality normally are caused by these external
influences.
