2001 NISSAN MAXIMA trunk

The light illuminates when the trunk lid is
opened. When the trunk lid is closed, the light
will go off.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.
The Integrated HomeLinkUniversal Trans-
ceiver power will automatically turn off 30
minutes after the ignition switch has been
turned to the off position.
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-

You can only drive your vehicle using the
master or valet keys which are registered to
the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System com-
ponents in your vehicle. These keys have a
transponder chip in the key head.
The master key can be used for all the locks.
The valet key cannot be used for the trunk lid
or glove box locks.
To protect belongings when you leave a key
with someone, give them the valet key only.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Record the key number on the key number
plate supplied with your keys and keep it in asafe place (such as your wallet), not in the
vehicle. NISSAN does not record any 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.
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System KEY -
Master and Valet keys:
The key number is necessary when you need
extra Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
keys. As many as 5 Nissan Vehicle Immobi-
lizer System keys can be used with one ve-hicle. New keys must be registered to the
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer.
At this time, you should bring all Nissan Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System keys that you have to
your NISSAN dealer for registration. This is
because the registration process will erase all
memory of the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer
System components.
