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-

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

CANADIAN CUSTOMERS

tance of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the

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 your NISSAN
dealer.
