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.

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.

cessfully program the Integrated HomeLink

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.

WARNING
IAlways 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 unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.
IBefore opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
IDo not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
LOCKING WITH KEY
PowerThe power door lock system allows you to lock
or unlock all doors simultaneously.
ITurning the driver's door key to the front of
the vehicle will lock all doors.
ITurning the driver's door key one time to
the rear of the vehicle will unlock the corre-
sponding door. From that position, return-
ing the key to neutral (where the key can
only be removed and inserted) and turning
it to the rear again within 5 seconds will
unlock all doors.
LOCKING WITH INSIDE LOCK
KNOBTo individually lock the doors from the outside
move the inside lock knob to the LOCK posi-
tion, then close the door. To unlock, pull up the
inside lock knob to the unlock position.
When locking the door without a key, be
sure not to leave the key inside the vehicle.

When the power door lock switch is moved to
the LOCK position with front doors open while

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR
LOCKChild safety locking helps prevent doors from
being opened accidentally, especially when
small children are in the vehicle.
When the lever is in the lock position, the
rear door can be opened only from the

the trunk lid and activate the panic alarm by
using the remote controller from outside the
vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
key is not left in the vehicle.
The remote controller can operate at a dis-
tance of approximately 33 ft (10 m) from the
vehicle. (The effective distance depends upon
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.
The multi-remote controller will not function
when:
Ithe battery is dead,
Ithe distance between the vehicle and the
remote controller is over 33 ft (10 m).
