Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
The power windows operate when the ignition
key is in the ON position and for about 45

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 HomeLink
º later in
this section.
WARNING
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-

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.PROGRAMMING HomeLink
FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS

transmitter to HomeLink
, continue to press
and hold the HomeLinkbutton (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,
simply press the appropriate programmed In-
tegrated HomeLink
Universal Transceiver
button. The red indicator light will illuminate
while the signal is being transmitted.
PROGRAMMING
PROBLEM-DIAGNOSISIf the HomeLink
does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:Ireplace the hand-held transmitter batteries
with new batteries.
Iposition the hand-held transmitter with its
battery area facing away from the
HomeLink
surface.
Ipress and hold both the HomeLink
and
hand-held transmitter buttons without inter-
ruption.
Iposition the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5
inches (50 to 127 mm) away from the
HomeLink
surface. Hold the transmitter in
that position for up to 15 seconds. If
HomeLinkis 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 difficul-
ties, please contact the NISSAN Consumer
Affairs Department. The phone numbers are
located in the Foreword of this Owner's
Manual.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATIONIndividual buttons cannot be cleared, however
to clear all programming, press and hold the
two outside buttons and release when theindicator light begins to flash (approximately
20 seconds).
ROLLING CODE PROGRAMMINGRolling code garage door openers (or other
rolling code devices) which are ªcode pro-
tectedº and manufactured after 1996, may be
determined by the following.
A. Reference the garage door opener Owner's
Manual for verification.
B. The hand-held transmitter appears to pro-
gram the Integrated HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver but does not activate the ga-
rage door.
C. Press and hold the trained HomeLink
but-
ton. If the garage door opener has the
rolling code feature, the HomeLink
indica-
tor light will flash rapidly, then remains on
after 2 seconds.
To program the Integrated HomeLinkUniver-
sal Transceiver to a garage door opener with
the rolling code feature, follow these instruc-
tions after completing the ªProgramming
HomeLink
º (the aid of a second person may
make the following procedures quicker and
easier).
