Universal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
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
(Example: new vehicle purchases). Upon
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, refer to “Pro-
gramming HomeLink

tion.

NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener, etc.,
it is advised to unplug the device during
the “cycling” process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener compo-
nents.OPERATING THE HomeLinkUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVERThe HomeLink
Universal Transceiver (once
programmed) may now be used to activate the
garage door, etc. To operate, simply push the
appropriate programmed HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver button. The red indicator light will
illuminate while the signal is being transmitted.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE
DIAGNOSISIf the HomeLink
does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
replace the hand-held transmitter batteries
with new batteries.
position the hand-held transmitter with its
battery area facing away from the HomeLink
surface.push and hold both the HomeLink
and
hand-held transmitter buttons without inter-
ruption.
position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5
inches (50 to 127 mm) away from the
HomeLink
surface. Hold the transmitter in
that position for up to 15 seconds. If
HomeLinkis not programmed within that
time, try holding the transmitter in another
position - keeping the indicator light in view at
all times.
If you continue to have programming difficulties,
please contact the NISSAN Consumer Affairs
Department. The phone numbers are located in
the Foreword of this Owner’s Manual.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATIONIndividual buttons cannot be cleared, however to
clear all programming, push and hold the two
outside buttons and release when the indicator
light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds).REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HomeLink
BUTTON
To reprogram a HomeLink
Universal Trans-
ceiver button, complete the following.
1. Push and hold the desired HomeLink
but-ton.Do notrelease the button until step 4
has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash
slowly (after 20 seconds), position the hand-
held transmitter 2 to 5 inches (50 to 127 mm)
away from the HomeLink
surface.
3. Push and hold the hand-held transmitter but-
ton.
4. The HomeLink
indicator light will flash, first
slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator
light begins to flash rapidly, release both
buttons.
The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver button
has now been reprogrammed. The new device
can be activated by pushing the HomeLink
button that was just programmed. This proce-
dure will not affect any other programmed
HomeLink
buttons.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLENIf your vehicle is stolen, you should change the
codes of any non-rolling code device that has
been programmed into HomeLink
. Consult the
Owner’s Manual of each device or call the
manufacturer or dealer of those devices for
additional information.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will

mately 33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The
effective distance depends upon the conditions
around the vehicle.)
As many as five keyfobs can be used with one
vehicle. For information concerning the purchase
and use of additional keyfobs, contact a NISSAN
dealer.
The keyfobwill not function when:
the battery is discharged,

The Intelligent Key uses coded radio signals to
communicate with the vehicle. When the Intelli-
gent Key is near the vehicle, such as when
standing near the vehicle with the Intelligent Key
in your pocket or purse, it allows the vehicle to
be locked or unlocked. And, when you are inside
the vehicle while carrying the Intelligent Key with
you, it allows the engine to be started without
inserting the key to the ignition switch. It is also
possible to use the remote keyless entry func-
tion.
CAUTION
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key
with you.
Do not leave the vehicle with the
Intelligent Key inside.
The Intelligent Key may not function
correctly depending on the environment
or operating conditions. It could also
malfunction if you do not use it cor-
rectly.
The Intelligent Key transmits faint radio
waves.
In the following situations, the Intelli-
gent Key and remote keyless entry func-tions may not operate correctly, and you
may have to use the metal key (me-
chanical key or valet key):
•when there are strong signals com-
ing from a television tower, power
station or broadcasting station.
•when you have wireless equipment
or a cellular phone with you.
•when the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by a metallic mate-
rial.
•when radio wave-type remote control
entry is used nearby.
•when the Intelligent Key is placed
near an electric appliance such as a
personal computer.
The Intelligent Key continually con-
sumes battery power as the key receives
a signal to communicate with the ve-
hicle. Battery life of the Intelligent Key is
about 2 years, although it varies de-
pending on the operating conditions.
When the battery of the Intelligent Key
is low, the green blinking key warning
light goes out about 30 seconds after
the ignition switch is turned to ON. If the
battery runs down, replace it with a new
one.If the Intelligent Key receives strong
signal over an extended period of time,
the battery of the Intelligent Key could
quickly run down. Do not place the In-
telligent Key near an electric appliance
such as a television set or personal
computer.
Because the ignition switch is electroni-
cally controlled, if the vehicle battery is
completely discharged when the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK position, the
steering lock cannot be released or the
ignition switch cannot be turned (not by
the mechanical key either).
In case the vehicle battery is completely
discharged, make sure to recharge the
vehicle battery immediately.INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (if so

the P position, turn the ignition switch to the
ACC position once and turn back to the LOCK
position.
CAUTION
Do not leave the vehicle with the igni-
tion switch in ACC or ONpositions when
the engine is not running for an ex-
tended period. This can discharge the
battery.
Starting the engineWhen driving the vehicle, be sure to carry the
Intelligent Key with you.

WARNING
Do not start the engine from outside the
vehicle through the window. Doing so
could lead to an accident and injury. Be
sure to sit in the driver’s seat to use the
key.
For important safety information, see “Starting
the engine” in the “5. Starting and driving”
section.
When the ignition switch is pushed under the
following conditions, the key warning light in
the instrument panel comes on in red. It is not
possible to turn the ignition switch when:
•you do not have the Intelligent Key with
you
•the Intelligent Key battery has run down
•you have a Intelligent Key for another
vehicle with you
Slowly turn the ignition switch after the key
warning light comes on in green. If it is turned
quickly, it may stick and be difficult to turn.
The engine may not start if the Intelligent Key
is placed:•inside the glove box or the door pocket
•on the instrument panel
•in the corner of interior compartment.
If it is difficult to turn the ignition switch,
perform the following:
•Push the ignition switch again and slowly
turn it left and to the right.
•Turn the ignition switch while gently turn-
ing the steering wheel to the left or right.
Stopping the engine1. Shift the selector lever to the P position.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.
WARNING
When you leave the vehicle, be sure to
observe the following:
Shift the selector lever to P. (In other
positions, the ignition switch will not
return to LOCK.)
Securely return the ignition switch to
LOCK.
Set the parking brake. Failure to do
so could result in unexpected vehicle
movement and could lead to severe
injury.INTELLIGENT KEY OPERATING
RANGEThe Intelligent Key functions can be used only
when you carry the key with you and operate as
specified in the operating range inside or outside
the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key battery runs down or
where there are strong radio waves or noise, the
operating range may be narrower or the key may
be inoperative.Pre-driving checks and adjustments
