1998 NISSAN MAXIMA battery location

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

The anti-lock brake system is a sophis-
ticated device, but it cannot prevent ac-
cidents resulting from careless or dan-
gerous driving techniques. It can help
maintain vehicle control during braking
on slippery surfaces, but remember that
the stopping distance on slippery sur-
faces will be longer than on normal
surfaces, even with the anti-lock sys-
tem. Stopping distances may also be
longer on rough, gravel or snow covered
roads, or if you are using tire chains.
Always maintain a safe distance from
the vehicle in front of you. Ultimately,
the responsibility for safety of self and
others rests in the hands of the driver.
Tire type and condition of tires may also
affect braking effectiveness.
IWhen replacing tires, install the
specified size of tires on all four
wheels.
IWhen installing a spare tire, make
sure it is the proper size and type as
specified on the tire placard. See ªVe-hicle identificationº in the ª10. Tech-
nical and consumer informationº sec-
tion for tire placard location.
FREEING A FROZEN DOOR LOCKTo prevent a door lock from freezing, apply
de-icer or glycerin to it through the key hole. If
the lock becomes frozen, heat the key before
inserting it into the key hole.ANTI-FREEZEIn the winter when it is anticipated that the
temperature will drop below 32ÉF (0ÉC), check
anti-freeze (ethylene glycol base) to assure
proper winter protection. For additional infor-
mation, see ªEngine Cooling Systemº in the ª8.
Do-it-yourselfº section.BATTERYIf the battery is not fully charged during ex-
tremely cold weather conditions, the battery
fluid may freeze and damage the battery. To
maintain maximum efficiency, the battery
should be checked regularly. For additional
information, see ªBatteryº in the ª8. Do-it-
yourselfº section.DRAINING OF COOLANT WATERIf the vehicle is to be left outside without
anti-freeze, drain the cooling system by open-
ing the drain valves located under the radiator
and on the engine block. Refill before operat-
ing the vehicle. See ªEngine cooling systemº inCOLD WEATHER DRIVING
