CAUTIONO The battery could run down if the seat
heater is operated while the engine is
not running.
O Do not use the seat heater for extended
periods or when no one is using the seat.
O Do not put anything on the seat which in-
sulates heat, such as a blanket, cushion,
seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat may
become overheated.
O Do not place anything hard or heavy on
the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
object. This may result in damage to the
heater.
O Any liquid spilled on the heated seat
should be removed immediately with a
dry cloth.
O When cleaning the seat, never use gaso-
line, benzine, thinner, or any similar
materials. O If any abnormalities are found or the
heated seat does not operate, turn the
switch off and have the system checked
by an INFINITI dealer.

WARNINGO Do not use the HomeLink Universal
Transceiver with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse features
as required by federal safety standards.
(These standards 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 automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death.
O During the programming procedure, your
garage door or security gate will open or
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.
O Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver. PROGRAMMING HomeLink To program your HomeLink Transceiver
to operate 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 (manu-
factured after 1996) have ªrolling code
protectionº. To program a garage door
opener equipped with ªrolling code pro-
tectionº; you will need to use a ladder to
get up to the garage door opener motor to
be able to access the ªtrainingº program
button.
1. To begin, push and hold the 2 outer
HomeLink buttons (to clear the
memory) until the indicator light
q A
blinks (after 20 seconds). Release both
buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held trans-
mitte r1-3 inches (26 - 76 mm) away
from the HomeLink
surface. SIC3012

3. Using both hands, simultaneously
push and hold both the HomeLink
button you want to program and the
hand-held transmitter button.
DO NOT release the buttons until step
4 has been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indi-
cator light on the HomeLink flashes,
changing from a ªslow blinkº to a
ªrapid blinkº. When the indicator light
flashes rapidly, both buttons may be
released. The rapidly flashing light in-
dicates successful programming. To
activate the garage door or other pro-
grammed device, push and hold the programmed HomeLink button - re-
leasing when the device begins to ac-
tivate.
5. If the indicator light on the HomeLink
blinks rapidly for two seconds and then
turns solid, HomeLink has picked up a
ªrolling codeº garage door opener sig-
nal. You will need to proceed with the
next steps to train the HomeLink to
complete the programming which may
require a ladder and another person for
convenience.
6. Push and release the training button
located on the garage door opener's
motor to activate the ªtraining modeº.
This button is usually located near the
antenna wire that hangs down from
the motor. If the wire originates from
under a light lens, you will need to re-
move the lens to access the training
button.
NOTE:
Once you have pushed and released the
training button on the garage door open-
er's motor and the ªtraining lightº is lit,
you have 30 seconds in which to perform
step 7. Use the help of a second person for
convenience to assist when performing
this step. 7. Quickly within 30 seconds of pushing
and releasing the garage door opener
program button, firmly push and re-
lease the HomeLink button you've
just programmed. Push and release
the HomeLink button up to three
times to complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink button should now be
programmed.
To program the remaining HomeLink
buttons for additional door or gate
openers, follow steps 2-8 only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step one unless you want to
ªclearº all previously programmed
HomeLink buttons.
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink
buttons, refer to the HomeLink web site
at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
