®Universal Transceiver provides
a convenient way to consolidate the func-
tions 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 security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink
®will retain all
programming.
Once HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver is
programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter 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, see “Program-
ming HomeLink
®” (P.2-66).
WARNING
. Do not use HomeLink®Universal Trans-
ceiver 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 automati-
cally stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious injury
or death.
. During programming procedure, your
garage door or security gate may open
or close. Make sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming HomeLink

versal Transceiver.

If HomeLink®does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
. replace the hand-held transmitter bat-
teries 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
interruption.
. position the hand-held transmitter 2 to
5 in (50 to 127 mm) away from the
HomeLink
®surface. Hold the transmit-
ter in that position for up to 15
seconds. If HomeLink
®is not pro-
grammed 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 INFINITI
Consumer Affairs Department. The phone
numbers are located in the Foreword of
this Owner’s Manual.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED IN-
FORMATION
Individual 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 (in approximately 20 seconds).
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HomeLink®BUTTON
To reprogram a HomeLink®Universal
Transceiver button, complete the following.
1. Push and hold the desired HomeLink
®
button. 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 in (50 to
127 mm) away from the HomeLink
®
surface.
3. Push and hold the hand-held transmit- ter button.
4. The HomeLink
®indicator light will
flash, first slowly and then rapidly.
When the indicator light begins to flash
rapidly, release both buttons.
The HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver but-
ton has now been reprogrammed. The new device can be activated by pushing the
HomeLink
®button that was just pro-
grammed. This procedure will not affect
any other programmed HomeLink
®but-
tons.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN
If 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
retailer of those devices for additional
information.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will
need to reprogram the HomeLink
®Uni-
versal Transceiver with your new transmit-
ter information.

—The Intelligent Key is water resis-tant; however, wetting may damage
the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent
Key gets wet, immediately wipe until
it is completely dry.
—Do not bend, drop or strike it
against another object.
—If the outside temperature is below 148F( −108C) degrees, the battery of
the Intelligent Key may not function
properly.
—Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in a place where
temperatures exceed 1408F (608C).
—Do not change or modify the In-telligent Key.
—Do not use a magnet key holder.
—Do not place the Intelligent Key near
an electric appliance such as a
television set or personal computer.
—Do not allow the Intelligent Key tocome into contact with water or salt
water, and do not wash it in a
washing machine. This could affect
the system function. .
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen,
INFINITI recommends erasing the ID code
of that Intelligent Key. This will prevent
the Intelligent Key from unauthorized
use to unlock the vehicle. For informa-
tion regarding the erasing procedure,
please contact an INFINITI retailer.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-3

WARNING
.Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufacturer
for the possible influences before use.
. The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pushed.
The FAA advises that the radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate the
Intelligent Key while on an airplane.
Make sure the buttons are not operated
unintentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all
doors and the lift gate using the remote
controller function or pushing the request
switch on the vehicle without taking the
key out from a pocket or purse. The
operating environment and/or conditions
may affect the Intelligent Key system
operation.
Be sure to read the following before using
the Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
.Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicat-
ing with the vehicle as it receives radio
waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-
mits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere with the operation
of the Intelligent Key system under the
following operating conditions.
.When operating near a location where
strong radio waves are transmitted,
such as a TV tower, power station and
broadcasting station.
. When in possession of wireless equip-
ment, such as a cellular telephone,
transceiver, and CB radio.
. When the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by metallic materials.
. When any type of radio wave remote
control is used nearby.
. When the Intelligent Key is placed near
an electric appliance such as a perso- nal computer.
. When the vehicle is parked near a
parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key
function or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies
depending on the operating conditions,
the battery’s life is approximately 2 years.
If the battery is discharged, replace it with
a new one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is almost
discharged, insert the Intelligent Key into
the Intelligent Key port to start the engine.
Replace the discharged battery with a new
one as soon as possible. For more details,
see “Push-button ignition switch” (P.5-10).
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously
receiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and
personal computer, the battery life may
become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of a
battery, see “Intelligent Key battery repla-
cement” (P.8-27).
As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be
registered and used with one vehicle. For
