Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto reverse function may
be activated if an impact or load similar to
something being caught in the window oc-

The light illuminates when the trunk lid is
opened. When the trunk lid is closed, the light
will go off. 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:
O Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
O Is 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.
Once the HomeLink Universal 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
HomeLink º later in this section. WARNING O Do 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.
O During 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.
O Your vehicle's engine should be
turned off while programming the

AUTOMATIC ANTI-GLARE INSIDE
MIRROR (if so equipped)
WARNING Use the AUTO position only when nec-
essary, because it reduces rear view

matically changes reflection according to the
intensity of the headlight of the following ve-
hicle. When the inside mirror is in the AUTO position,
excessive glare from the headlights of the
vehicle behind you will be reduced. When the
switch of the inside mirror is in the OFF

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM The Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System will not
allow the engine to start without the use of the
registered Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System
key.
If the engine fails to start using the registered
Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System key, it may
be due to interference caused by another
Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System key, an
automated toll road device or automated pay-
ment device on the key ring. Restart the en-
gine using the following procedures: 1. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position
for approximately 5 seconds.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF or LOCK
position and wait approximately 10 sec-
onds.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 again.
4. Restart the engine while holding the device
(which may have caused the interference)
separate from the registered Infiniti Vehicle
Immobilizer System key.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
INFINITI recommends placing the registered
Infiniti Vehicle Immobilizer System key on a
separate key ring to avoid interference from
other devices.
