The interior lights operate regardless of
ignition key position.
One interior light is located overhead near
the front seats and one is overhead near the
rear seat.
The interior lights have three-position
switches:
cWhen the switch is in the OFF position,
the interior light does not illuminate, re-
gardless of door position.
cWhen the switch is in the center O posi-
tion, the light illuminates when a door is
opened.cWhen the switch is in the ON position,
the interior light illuminates, whether any
door is open or closed.
CAUTION
Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could
result in a discharged battery.
LUGGAGE
When the back door is opened, the luggage
compartment light and the rear interior light
illuminate.

Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could
result in a discharged battery.The interior lights, the cargo light, the glove
box light, the stepwell lights near the sliding
doors and on the front doors, and the foot-

are closed, these lights gradually dim to off
within 30 seconds or turn off immediately
when the key is turned to the ON position.
Battery saver
If the vehicle doors are not fully closed and
the interior lights remain illuminated, they
eventually turn off automatically to prevent
the battery from becoming discharged. If the
interior lights are left in the ON position, with
all doors closed, they will automatically turn
off after approximately 30 minutes. Lights
that illuminate when the front or sliding
doors are opened turn off after approxi-
mately 30 minutes. Lights that illuminate
when the back door is opened turn off after
approximately 60 minutes. Vanity mirror
lights are not part of the battery saver
system.
If the personal reading lights are left on after
the key is removed from the ignition, they
will automatically turn off after approxi-

vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
cThe HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
will operate garage doors, gates, home/
office lighting systems and security sys-
tems by storing and transmitting the pro-
gramming information of your current
hand-held transmitters.
cThe HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver is
built-in and powered by your vehicle's
battery and charging system. No separate
batteries are necessary.
WARNING
Do not use this HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards (these standards be-
came effective for models manufac-
tured after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object

then automatically stop and reverse the

door, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkT
WARNING
During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming your transmit-
ter. The HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver may not work with older garage
door openers that do not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards.
1. Test the HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver by pressing any button. The red
indicator light should come on. If you
have previously programmed a button
proceed to step 3.
2. Clear all channels on the HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver by holding down
both outside buttons (#1 & #3) until the
red light begins to flash rapidly (approxi-
mately 20 seconds). Then release both
buttons.
3. Select which of the three HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver buttons you want
to program.
4. Hold your hand-held transmitter against
the bottom surface of the HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver so that you can
still see the red indicator light.

5. Press the desired button until the red
indicator light flashes slowly. Do not re-
lease the button. Continue holding and
press the hand-held transmitter button
through step 6.
6. Hold down both buttons until the red
indicator light on the HomeLinkTUniver-
sal Transceiver flashes rapidly (This may
take 1 to 90 seconds). Then release both
buttons. The rapid flashing means that
the transceiver has been successfully
programmed to match your hand-held
transmitter. You can now use the
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver in-
stead of your hand-held transmitter.
PROGRAMMING HomelinkTFOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
many hand-held transmitters to stop trans-
mitting after one or two seconds, even
though you continue to hold down the but-
ton. If you think you have one of these
hand-held transmitters, you should press
and re-press the transmitter button every 2
seconds without ever releasing the
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver button.
The indicator light on the HomeLinkTUni-
versal Transceiver should blink rapidly indi-cating a successful programming proce-
dure. If it returns to the slow blink of program
mode, continue to periodically reactivate
your hand-held transmitter until a success-
ful programming procedure is indicated by
the rapidly flashing indicator light.
OPERATING THE HomeLinkT
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
To operate, simply press the appropriate
button on the HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver. The red indicator light illuminates
while the signal is being transmitted. The
effective transmission range of the
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver may dif-
fer from your hand-held transmitter.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE
DIAGNOSIS
Be sure to keep your original hand-held
transmitter for possible reprogramming if
necessary.
cMake sure batteries in the hand-held
transmitter are fully charged.
cHold your hand-held transmitter against
the bottom surface of the HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver so that you can
still see the red indicator light.cHold buttons for duration of the program-
ming without interruption.
cRotate your hand-held transmitter end-
over-end and program again. For best
results, place the end opposite the bat-
tery compartment against the
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver when
programming.

CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATION
Should you sell your vehicle, be sure to
clear the channels of the HomeLinkTUni-
versal Transceiver. To clear the channels,
simultaneously hold down the outside two
buttons (#1 & #3) until the red indicator light
begins to flash rapidly (approximately 20
seconds). This will clear all three buttons.
Individual buttons cannot be cleared, but
can be reprogrammed at any time by follow-
ing the programming procedures described
previously.
ROLLING CODE PROGRAMMING
If your hand held transmitter appears to
train to the HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver, but does not open your garage door,
and your garage door opener was manufac-
tured 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
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 HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver, follow these steps:
1. Program your hand held transmitter to
the HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver by
following the procedures outlined previ-
ously (if not yet programmed).
2. Program your garage door opener re-
ceiver to recognize the HomeLinkTUni-versal Transceiver (The HomeLinkTUni-
versal Transceiver 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 HomeLinkT
Universal 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.
