AUTOMATIC MOONROOF AND
SUNSHADE
Sliding sunshade and moonroof
When the sunshade switch is pushed to
the OPEN position
O1, the sunshade open.
(If the sunshade starts to open from the
position between close and half open, the
sunshade will stop half. When the switch is
pushed again, the sunshade will open fully.)
When the moonroof switch is pushed to
the OPEN position
O3, the moonroof opens
to the comfort mode position. (If the sun-
shade is close, the sunshade will open half first. When the switch is pushed again, the
moonroof will open fully.)
When the moonroof switch is pushed to
the CLOSE position
O4, the moonroof will
automatically close. When the sunshade
switch is pushed to the CLOSE position
O2,
the sunshade will close. (If the sunshade
starts to close from the position between

Auto-reverse function
WARNING
There are some small distances imme-
diately before the closed position
which cannot be detected. Make sure
that all passengers have their hands,
etc., inside the vehicle before closing
the moonroof and sunshade.
The auto-reverse function enables the
moonroof and sunshade to automatically
reverse when something is caught in the
moonroof and sunshade as it is closing.
When the control unit detects an obstacle,
the moonroof and sunshade will open
immediately.
Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto-reverse function may
activate if an impact or load similar to
something being caught in the moonroof
and sunshade occurs.
If the auto-reverse function activates con-
secutively or the battery is discharged, the
moonroof and sunshade may not close
properly. In this case, push and hold the
switch to the CLOSE position
O4to close
the moonroof.

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
• Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)devices such as garage doors, gates,
home and office lighting, entry door locks
and security systems.
• Is powered by your vehicle's battery. No separate batteries are required. If the ve-
hicle's battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming pro-
cedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional infor-
mation, see “Programming HomeLink®”
(P. 2-125).WARNING
• Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards
became effective for opener models
manufactured af ter April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a clos-
ing garage door and then automati-
cally stop and reverse does not meet
current federal safety standards. Us-
ing a garage door opener without
these features increases the risk of
serious injury or death.
• During 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 the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. Do
not breathe exhaust gases; they con-
tain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconscious-
ness or death.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
The following steps show generic instruc-
tions on how to program a Homelink® but-
ton. If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com/nissan or call
1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new bat-
tery be placed in the hand-held trans-
mitter of the device being programmed
to Homelink® for quicker programming
and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency.

5. Press the HomeLink® button and ob-serve the indicator light.
• If the indicator light remains constant green, your device should operate
when the HomeLink® button is
pressed. At this point, if your device
operates, programming is complete.
• If the indicator light rapidly flashes in green, firmly press, hold for two sec-
onds and release the HomeLink® but-
ton up to three times to complete the
programming process. Do not press
the HomeLink® button rapidly. At this
point if your device operates, pro-
gramming is complete. If the device
does not operate, continue with the
next step of the programming
instructions.
6. At the garage door opener motor (secu- rity gate motor, etc.), locate the “Learn” or
“Set” button. This can usually be found
where the hanging antenna wire is at-
tached to the motor-head unit (see the
device’s manual to identif y this button.).
The name and color of the button may
vary by manufacturer.NOTE:
A ladder and/or second person may sim-
plif y the following steps. Do not stand on
your vehicle to perform the next steps.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or“Set” button until the indicator illumi-
nates. Once the button is pressed, you
have approximately 30 seconds to initi-
ate the next step.
8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the
HomeLink® button up to three times. Do
not press the HomeLink® button rap-
idly. At this point programming is com-
plete and your device should operate
when the HomeLink® button is pressed
and released.

When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be
opened using the inside or outside door
handles. The doors must be unlocked to
open the doors.
WARNING
• Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from uninten-
tionally opening the doors, and will
help keep out intruders.
• Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic. •
To help avoid risk of injury or death
through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.
LOCKING WITH KEY
To lock the door using the mechanical key,
turn the key toward the rear of the vehicle
O2. This will only lock the corresponding
door and will not activate the security sys-
tem. To arm the security system, press the
button on the Intelligent Key.
To unlock the corresponding door using
the mechanical key, turn the key toward
the front of the vehicle
O1. This will only
unlock the corresponding door and will not
disarm the security system.
For additional information, see “Security
systems” (P. 2-76).
