INTEGRATED HomeLinkTUNI-
VERSAL TRANSCEIVER (if so
equipped)
The Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver provides a convenient way to consoli-
date the functions of up to three individual
hand-held transmitters into one built-in de-
vice.
Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver:
cWill operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates,
home and office lighting, entry door locks
and security systems.
cIs powered by your vehicle's battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle's battery is discharged or is dis-
connected, HomeLinkTwill retain all pro-
gramming.Once the Integrated HomeLinkTUniver-
sal Transceiver is programmed, retain
the original transmitter for future pro-
gramming procedures (i.e., new vehicle
purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed Integrated HomeLinkTUni-
versal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For addi-
tional information refer to ``Program-
ming the Integrated HomeLinkTUniver-
sal Transceiver'' later in this section.
WARNING
cDo not use the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
with any garage door opener that
lacks safety stop and reverse fea-
tures as required by federal safety
standards. (These standards be-
came 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 auto-
matically stop and reverse, does not
meet current federal safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.
cDuring 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.
cYour vehicle's engine should be
turned off while programming the
Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM (NVIS) KEYS
You can only start your vehicle using the
keys which are supplied by your NISSAN
dealer. Each key has a transponder chip in
the key head which is electronically regis-
tered to your vehicle's NVIS. These keys
can be used for all the key locks on your
vehicle.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
A key number plate is supplied with your
keys.Record the key number and keep it in a safe
place (such as your wallet), not in the ve-
hicle. NISSAN does not record key numbers
so it is very important to keep track of your
key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, this key
can be duplicated by your NISSAN dealer.
New or duplicate keys can only be ob-
tained from your NISSAN dealer and
must be registered to the Nissan Vehicle
Immobilizer System (NVIS) components
in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer.
As many as 5 NVIS keys can be used with
one vehicle. At this time, you should bring
all NVIS keys that you have to your NISSAN
dealer for registration. This is because the
registration process will erase the memory
of all key codes previously registered into
the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System. Af-
ter the registration process, these compo-
nents will only recognize keys coded into
the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
(NVIS) during registration. Any key that is
not given to your dealer at the time of
registration will no longer be able to start
your vehicle.
WARNING
cAlways 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
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
cDo not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents.

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR
LOCK
Child safety locks help prevent rear doors
from being opened accidentally, especially
when small children are in the vehicle.
The child safety lock levers are located on
the edge of the rear doors.
When the lever is in the lock position, the
door can be opened only from the outside.
It is possible to lock/unlock all doors, turn
the interior light on and activate the panic
alarm by using the remote controller from
outside the vehicle.
Be sure to remove the key from the
vehicle before locking the doors.
The remote controller can operate at a
distance of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from
the vehicle. The effective distance depends
on the conditions around the vehicle.
As many as four remote controllers can be
used with one vehicle. For information con-
cerning the purchase and use of additional
remote controllers, contact an authorized
NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occur-
rences which will damage the remote
controller:
cDo not allow the remote controller to
become wet.
cDo not drop the remote controller.
cDo not strike the remote controller
sharply against another object.cDo not place the remote controller
for an extended period in an area
where temperatures exceed 140ÉF
