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 the
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkTo program your HomeLink
Transceiver to op-
erate 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.
1. To begin, press and hold the 2 outer
HomeLink
buttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light blinks slowly (after 20
seconds). Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter
1-3 inches away from the HomeLink
sur-
face.

You can only drive your vehicle using the master
or valet keys which are registered to the Nissan
Vehicle Immobilizer System (NVIS) components
in your vehicle. These keys have a transponder
chip in the key head.
The master key can be used for all the locks.
The valet key cannot be used for the rear floor
box lock. To protect belongings when you leave
a key with someone, give them the valet key only.
Never leave these keys in the vehicle.
A key number plate is supplied with your keys.
Record the key number and keep it in a safe
place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle.NISSAN does not record any key numbers 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 (NVIS) KEY -
Master and Valet keys:
As many as 5 keys can be used with one vehicle.
New keys must be registered to the NVIS com-
ponents in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer.
At this time, you should bring all NVIS keys that
you have to your NISSAN dealer for registration.
This is because the registration process will
erase all memory of the NVIS components.
CAUTION
Do not allow the NVIS key, which con-
tains an electrical transponder, to come
in contact with salt water. This could
cause the system to malfunction.
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.
