2012 NISSAN ARMADA warning

WARNING
●Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. Do not place cargo higher than
the seatbacks. In a sudden stop or col-
lision, unsecured cargo could cause
personal injury.
● Use suitable ropes and hooks to secure
cargo.
● Never allow anyone to ride in the lug-
gage area. It is extremely dangerous to
ride in a cargo area inside of a vehicle.
In a collision, people riding in these
areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
● Do not allow people to ride in any area
of your vehicle that is not equipped with
seats and seat belts.
● The child restraint top tether strap may
be damaged by contact with items in
the cargo area. Secure any items in the
cargo area. Your child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in a collision if
the top tether strap is damaged.
● Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
Side finisher
When hooking on ropes, do not apply a load of
more than 55 lb (245 N) to a single
Ahook or 44
lb (196 N) to a single
Bhook.
Floor hooks
Do not apply a load of more than 110 lb (490 N)
to a single hook.

ROOF RACK
WARNING
●Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
roof rack.
● Heavy loading of the roof rack has the
potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or abnor-
mal handling maneuvers.
● Roof rack load should be evenly
distributed.
● Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
● Properly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing items
from the roof rack. If you cannot comfort-
ably lift the items onto the roof rack from
the ground, use a ladder or stool.

Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof
rack. Do not load more than 200 lbs (91 kg) on
entire roof rack. Be sure load is evenly distributed
across both crossbars. Be careful that your ve-
hicle does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR front and rear) . The GVWR and GAWR
are located on the F.M.V.S.S. label (located on
the driver’s door pillar) . For more information
regarding GVWR and GAWR, refer to “Vehicle
loading information” in the “Technical and con-
sumer information” section later in this manual.The crossbars can be adjusted forward and
backward. Loosen the thumbwheel
1and ad-
just the crossbar to the desired position. Tighten
the thumbwheel. Place your luggage on the bars
and secure the luggage with rope to the utility
loops
2. Do not place luggage on the side rails
or tie rope directly to the side rails. Always be
sure the thumbwheels are fully tightened to keep
the crossbar in place. Do not use utility loops for
any purpose other than securing luggage.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
● Make sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc. inside the vehicle while
it is in motion and before closing the
windows. Use the window lock switch
to prevent unexpected use of the power
windows.
● Do not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls and become
trapped in a window. Unattended chil-
dren could become involved in serious
accidents.
The power windows operate when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position, or for a
period of time after the ignition switch is placed in
the OFF position. If the driver’s or passenger’s

The HomeLinkUniversal 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 HomeLink Universal 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 “Program-
ming HomeLink” later in this section.WARNING
● Do not use the HomeLink Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982) . A ga-
rage 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 in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
● During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and 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.
● Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK
1. To begin, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light
1blinks (after 20
seconds) . Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter 1 - 3 inches (26 - 76 mm) away from the
HomeLink surface.
