These lights will turn on again when any of the
above operations is performed after the lights
have turned off automatically. (The lights will
turn off 30 minutes after the latest operation of
the above as well.)
CAUTION
ITurn off the interior, personal and
vanity mirror lights when you leave
the vehicle.
IDo not use for extended periods of
time with the engine stopped. This
could result in a discharged battery.The light on the vanity mirror will turn on when
the cover on the vanity mirror is opened.The HomeLink
Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
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, HomeLink
will retain all program-
ming.
IWill turn off 30 minutes after the ignition
switch has been turned to the OFF position.
Once the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(i.e., new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For addi-
tional information, refer to ªProgramming
the HomeLink
Universal Transceiverº

WARNING
IDo not use the HomeLink
Universal
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 auto-
matically 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.
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
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver.
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 HomeLink
Universal Trans-
ceiver has been successfully programmed.
To program the remaining two buttons, follow
steps 2 through 4.
If, after repeated attempts, you do not suc-
cessfully program the HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver to learn the signal of the hand-
held transmitter, refer to ªRolling Code Pro-
grammingº later in this section.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink
FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting af-
ter 2 seconds. To program your hand-held
transmitter to HomeLink
, continue to press

and hold the HomeLink
button (note steps 2
through 4 under ªProgramming HomeLink
º)
while you press and re-press (ªcycleº) your
hand-held transmitter 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 ªcyclingº process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener compo-
nents.
OPERATING THE HomeLinkUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVERThe HomeLink
Universal Transceiver (once
programmed) may now be used to activate the
garage door, etc. To operate, simply press the
appropriate programmed HomeLink
Univer-
sal Transceiver button. The red indicator light
will illuminate while the signal is being trans-
mitted.
PROGRAMMING
TROUBLE-DIAGNOSISIf the HomeLink
does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
Ireplace the hand-held transmitter batteries
with new batteries.Iposition the hand-held transmitter with its
battery area facing away from the
HomeLink
surface.
Ipress and hold both the HomeLink
and
hand-held transmitter buttons without inter-
ruption.
Iposition the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5
inches (50 to 127 mm) away from the
HomeLink
surface. Hold the transmitter in
that position for up to 15 seconds. If
HomeLinkis 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 difficul-
ties, please contact the NISSAN Consumer
Affairs Department. The phone numbers are
located in the Foreword of this Owner's
Manual.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATIONIndividual buttons cannot be cleared, however
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 PROGRAMMINGRolling code garage door openers (or other
rolling code devices) which are ªcode pro-
tectedº and manufactured after 1996, may be
determined by the following.
A. Reference the garage door opener Owner's
Manual for verification.
B. The hand-held transmitter appears to pro-
gram the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver
but does not activate the garage door.
C. Press and hold the trained HomeLink
but-
ton. If the garage door opener has the
rolling code feature, the HomeLink
indica-
tor light will flash rapidly, then remains on
after 2 seconds.
To program the HomeLink
Universal Trans-
ceiver to a garage door opener with the rolling
code feature, follow these instructions after
completing the ªProgramming HomeLink
º
(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 garage door
opener brand. If there is difficulty locating
the training button, reference the garage
door opener Owner's Manual.

2. Press the training button on the garage
door opener motor unit (which may activate
a training light).
NOTE:
Following step 2, there are 30 seconds
in which to initiate step 3.
3. Firmly press and release the programmed
HomeLink
button. Press and release the
HomeLinkbutton a second time to com-
plete 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 recognize
the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver and ac-
tivate when the HomeLink
button is pressed.
The remaining two buttons may now be pro-
grammed (if not yet programmed, follow steps
2 through 4 in the ªProgramming HomeLink
º
procedures earlier in this section).
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HomeLink
BUTTON
To reprogram an HomeLink
Universal Trans-
ceiver button, complete the following.
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
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 HomeLink
sur-
face.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter
button.
4. The HomeLink
indicator light will flash,
first slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light begins to flash rapidly, re-
lease both buttons.
The HomeLink
Universal Transceiver button
has now been reprogrammed. The new device
can be activated by pushing the HomeLink
button that was just programmed. This proce-
dure will not affect any other programmed
HomeLink
buttons.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLENIf your vehicle is stolen, you should change the
codes of any non-rolling code device that has
been programmed into HomeLink
. 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 HomeLinkUniver-
sal Transceiver with your new transmitter
information.FCC Notice:
