2002 NISSAN ALTIMA light

To turn on the map lights, press the
switches. To turn them off, press the
switches again.
CAUTION
Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could
result in a discharged battery.The light illuminates when the trunk lid is
opened. When the trunk lid is closed, the
light goes off.The HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver:
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 HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming pro-
cedures (i.e., new vehicle purchases).
Upon sale of the vehicle, the pro-
grammed HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver buttons should be erased for se-
curity purposes. For additional
information refer to ``Programming the
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver'' later
in this section.

WARNING
cDo not use the HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by fed-
eral safety standards. (These stan-
dards 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 au-
tomatically 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
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkT
1. With the ignition key in the OFF position,
press and hold the two outside buttons,
and release when the indicator light be-
gins to flash (approximately 20 seconds).
This procedure erases the factory set
default codes and does not have to be
followed when programming additional
hand-held transmitters.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter
(from the device you wish to train) ap-
proximately 2 to 5 inches (50 to 127 mm)
away from the surface of HomeLinkT
keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the
hand-held transmitter button and the de-
sired HomeLinkTbutton. Do not release the
buttons until step 4 has been completed.
NOTE:
Some garage door openers may require
the procedures noted under ``Canadian
Programming''.
4. The HomeLinkTindicator 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 HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver has been successfully programmed.
To program the remaining two buttons, fol-
low steps 2 through 4.
If, after repeated attempts, you do not suc-
cessfully program the HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver to learn the signal of the hand-
held transmitter, refer to ``Rolling Code Pro-
gramming'' later in this section.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkTFOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting
after 2 seconds. To program your hand-held
transmitter to HomeLinkT, continue to press
SPA0609A
2-36Instruments and controls
ZX

and hold the HomeLinkTbutton (note step 2
through 4 under ``Programming HomeLinkT'')
while you press and re-press (``cycle'') your
hand-held transmitters every 2 seconds until
the indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating
successful programming).
NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener, etc.,
it is advised to unplug the device during the
``cycling'' process to prevent possible dam-
age to the garage door opener components.
OPERATING THE HomeLinkT
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver (once
programmed) may now be used to activate the
garage door, etc. To operate, simply press the
appropriate programmed HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver button. The red indicator light will
illuminate while the signal is being transmitted.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE-
DIAGNOSIS
If the HomeLinkTdoes not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
creplace the hand-held transmitter batter-
ies with new batteries.cposition the hand-help transmitter with its
battery area facing away from the
HomeLinkTsurface.
cpress and hold both the HomeLinkTand
hand-held transmitter buttons without in-
terruption.
cposition the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5
inches (50 to 127 mm) away from the
HomeLinkTsurface. Hold the transmitter
in that position for up to 15 seconds. If
HomeLinkTis not programmed within
that time, try holding the transmitter in
another position - keeping the indicator
light in view at all times.
If you continue to have programming diffi-
culties, please contact the NISSAN Con-
sumer Affairs Department. The phone num-
bers are located in the Foreword of this
owner's manual.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATION
Individual buttons cannot be cleared, how-
ever to clear all programming, press and
hold the two outside buttons and release
when the indicator light begins to flash
(approximately 20 seconds)
ROLLING CODE PROGRAMMING
Rolling code garage door openers (or other
rolling code devices) which are ``code pro-
tected'' and manufactured after 1996, may
be determined by the following:
A. Reference the garage door opener Own-
er's Manual for verification.
B. The hand-held transmitter appears to
program the HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver but does not activate the
garage door.
C. Press and hold the trained HomeLinkT
button. If the garage door opener has the
rolling code feature, the HomeLinkTindi-
cator light will flash rapidly, then remains
on after 2 seconds.
To program the HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver to a garage door opener with
the rolling code feature, follow these instruc-
tions after completing the ``Programming
HomeLinkT'' (the aid of a second person
may make the following procedures quicker
and easier).
1. Locate the training button on the garage
door opener motor unit. Exact location
and color of the button may vary by
Instruments and controls

garage door opener brand. If there is
difficulty locating the training button, ref-
erence the garage door opener Owner's
Manual.
2. Press the training button on the garage
door opener motor unit (which may acti-
vate a training light).
NOTE:
Following step 2, there are 30 seconds in
which to initiate step 3.
3. Firmly press and release the pro-
grammed HomeLinkTbutton. Press and
release the HomeLinkTbutton a second
time to complete the training process.
(Some garage door openers may require
you to do this procedure a third time to
complete the training.)
The garage door opener should now recog-
nize the HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
and activate when the HomeLinkTbutton is
pressed. The remaining two buttons may
now be programmed (if not yet pro-
grammed, follow steps 2 through 4 in the
``Programming HomeLinkT'' procedures
earlier in this section).REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HomeLinkTBUTTON
To reprogram an HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver button, complete the following.
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLinkT
button.Do notrelease the button until
step 4 has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash
slowly (after 20 seconds), position the
hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 inches (50 to
127 mm) away from the HomeLinkTsur-
face.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter
button.
4. The HomeLinkTindicator light will flash,
first slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light begins to flash rapidly,
release both buttons.
The HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver but-
ton has now been reprogrammed. The new
device can be activated by pushing the
HomeLinkTbutton that was just pro-
grammed. This procedure will not affect any
other programmed HomeLinkTbuttons.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN
If your vehicle is stolen, you should change
the codes of any non-rolling code device
that has been programmed into HomeLinkT.
Consult the Owner's Manual of each device
or call the manufacturer or dealer of those
devices for additional information.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will
need to reprogram the HomeLinkTUni-
versal Transceiver with your new trans-
mitter information.
