The Integrated HomeLink
Universal Trans-
ceiver provides a convenient way to consoli-
date the functions of up to three individual
hand-held transmitters into one built-in device.
Integrated HomeLink
Universal Transceiver:
IWill operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
IIs powered by your vehicle's battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle's battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLinkwill retain all program-
ming.
Once the Integrated HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver is programmed, retain the
original transmitter for future programming
procedures (i.e., new vehicle purchases).
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
Integrated HomeLink
Universal Trans-
ceiver buttons should be erased for secu-
rity purposes. For additional information,
refer to ªProgramming the Integrated
HomeLink
Universal Transceiverº later in
this section.
IDo not use the Integrated HomeLink
Universal Transceiver with any ga-
rage door opener that lacks safety
stop and reverse features as required
by federal safety standards. (These
standards became effective for
opener 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,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
IDuring programming, your garage
door or gate may open or close. Make
sure that people and objects are clear
of the garage door or gate that you
are programming.
IYour vehicle's engine should be
turned off while programming the In-
tegrated HomeLink
UniversalTransceiver.

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.

FM-AM RADIO WITH CASSETTE
PLAYER AND COMPACT DISC
(CD) PLAYER (Bose)
Audio main operationHead unit
The radio has an FM diversity reception sys-
tem, which employs two antennas. One is a
rod type antenna; the other is an antenna
printed on the window. This system automati-
cally switches to the antenna which is receiv-
ing less noise.
The tape deck employs a permalloy head
which allows for improved reproduction of high
frequency ranges. Noise is also greatly re-
duced by the combined use of the Dolby NR
(Noise Reduction) system. The auto loudness
circuit enhances the low frequency range au-
tomatically in both radio reception and tape
and CD playback.
ON×OFF/Volume control:
Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON, and then
push the ON×OFF/VOL control knob while the
system is off to call up the mode (radio, tape or
CD) which was playing immediately before the
system was turned off. When no CD or tape is
loaded, the radio will come on. While the
system is on, pushing the ON×OFF/VOL con-trol knob turns the system off.
To turn the radio off, press the ON×OFF/VOL
control knob.
