The HomeLink
Universal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver power will
automatically turn off 30 minutes after the igni-
tion switch has been turned to the off position.
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver:

Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and se-
curity systems.

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 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 “Programming
HomeLink
” later in this section.
WARNING

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.

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.

Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming theHomeLink
Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkTo program your HomeLink Transceiver to oper-
ate a garage door, gate, or entry door opener,
home or office lighting, you need to be at the
same location as the device. Note: Garage door
openers (manufactured after 1996) have “rolling
code protection”. To program a garage door
opener equipped with “rolling code protection”;
you will need to use a ladder to get up to the
garage door opener motor to be able to access
the “smart or learn” program button.

You can only drive your vehicle using the master
keys which are registered to the Nissan Vehicle
Immobilizer System components in your vehicle.
These keys have a transponder chip in the key
head.
The keys can be used for the door, back door or
glove box locks.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
Record the key number on the key number plate
supplied with your keys and keep it in a safe
place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle.
NISSAN does not record any key number so it is
very important to keep track of your key number
plate.A key number is only necessary when you have
lost all keys and do not have one to duplicate
from. If you still have a key, this key can be
duplicated by your NISSAN dealer.
Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys:
The key number is necessary when you need
extra Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys.
As many as 5 Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System
keys can be used with one vehicle. New keys
must be registered to the Nissan Vehicle Immo-
bilizer System components in your vehicle by
your NISSAN dealer. At this time, you should
bring all Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys
that you have to your NISSAN dealer for regis-
tration. This is because the registration process
will erase all memory of the Nissan Vehicle
Immobilizer System components.
WARNING

Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping to
prevent persons from being thrown
from the vehicle. This also helps keep
children and others from uninten-
tionally opening the doors, and will
help keep out intruders.

Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.

Do not leave children unattended in-
side the vehicle. They could unknow-
ingly activate switches or controls.
Unattended children could become
involved in serious accidents.
