CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATION
Should you sell your vehicle, be sure to
clear the channels of the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver. To clear
the channels, simultaneously hold down the
outside two buttons (#1 & #3) until the red
indicator light begins to flash rapidly (ap-
proximately 20 seconds). This will clear all
three buttons. Individual buttons cannot be
cleared, but can be reprogrammed at any
time by following the programming proce-
dures described previously.
ROLLING CODE PROGRAMMING
If your hand held transmitter appears to
train to the Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver, but does not open your garage
door, and your garage door opener was
manufactured after 1995, your garage door
opener may have a Code Protected 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
systems, depress the button on the Inte-
grated HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
that you have just programmed. If the LED
on the HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
flashes rapidly for 1 to 2 seconds, then
remains on, your garage door opener has a
rolling code system.
To operate your rolling code garage door
opener from your Integrated HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver, follow these steps:
1. Program your hand held transmitter to
the Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver by following the procedures
outlined previously (if not yet pro-
grammed).2. Program your garage door opener re-
ceiver to recognize the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver (The
Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver 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
garage door opener receiver. The re-
ceiver should be located by the ga-
rage door opener motor.
b)
Locate the training button on the ga-
rage 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, reference your garage door
opener manual. If you have difficulty
programming your garage door
opener equipped with a rolling code
system to recognize the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver with
the Rolling Code feature, call NISSAN
Consumer Affairs Department.
c) Press the training button on the ga-
rage door opener receiver for 1 to 2
seconds.

engagement of the hood latch.
WARNING
cMake sure the hood is completely
closed and latched before driving.
Failure to do so could cause the

WARNING
cThe air conditioner cooling function
operates only when the engine is
running.
cDo not leave children, impaired
adults, or pets alone in your vehicle.
On hot, sunny days, temperatures in
a closed vehicle could quickly be-
come high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
cDo not use the recirculation mode
for long periods as it may cause theinterior air to become stale and the
windows to fog up.
cPositioning of the heater and air con-
ditioner controls should not be done
while driving, so full attention may
be given to vehicle operation.
The cabin air filter (if so equipped) requires
periodic maintenance. See the ``Do it your-
self'' section for additional information.
The Electronic Automatic Temperature
Control (EATC) is located at the center of
the instrument panel, below the radio. TheEATC operates only when the ignition is
turned to the ON position.
The EATC maintains the temperature you
select and controls the airflow for your com-
fort. It also allows you to override the auto-
matic operation with manual function selec-
tor buttons.
To turn the EATC on, push either the AU-
TOMATIC button or any of the six function
selector buttons:
,,,,or MAX. To turn the EATC off, press
the OFF button.
When you select AUTOMATIC, the system
determines fan speed, airflow location and
discharge air temperature. When one of the
function selector buttons is pressed, your
selection determines airflow location only.
Fan speed and discharge air temperature
remain automatic. You can override fan
speed by rotating the vertical thumbwheel
located at the extreme right of the
control panel.
The display window indicates the status of
the system. It shows the selected tempera-
ture and AUTO when in the AUTOMATIC
mode. It also indicates manual (thumb-
wheel) control of the fan speed when a

Push the MAX button to choose air recircu-
lation. In this mode the EATC system recir-
culates the air inside the vehicle rather than
drawing air from outside. Air is distributed
through the instrument panel ventilators
similar to
mode. Use this mode to rap-
idly cool the inside of the vehicle, or to
dehumidify the air inside the vehicle.
Activate the air conditioner in any of the
override modes listed above by pressing the
A/C button. The A/C indicator light comes
on to verify activation, and cooled air flows
from the vents. Fan speed continues to be
controlled by the EATC unless the fan
speed thumbwheel is used to override.English/metric mode
Switch from English to metric temperature
display by simultaneously pressing the
