2013 INFINITI M HYBRID radio controls

The light illuminates when the trunk lid is
opened. When the trunk lid is closed, the
light will turn off.
The light will also turn off after a period of
time when the light remains illuminated
after the ignition switch has been pushed
to the OFF or LOCK position to prevent the
12-volt battery from becoming discharged.The HomeLink®Universal Transceiver pro-
vides 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 security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s 12-volt
battery. No separate batteries are
required. If the vehicle’s 12-volt battery
is discharged or is disconnected,
HomeLink
®will retain all programming.
When the HomeLink®Universal Transcei-
ver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (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
®” later in this sec-
tion.
WARNING
. 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 manufac-
tured 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.
. 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 INFINITI Direct Response
Hybrid
TMSystem should be turned off
while programming the HomeLink®Uni-
versal Transceiver. Do not breathe ex-
haust gases: they contain colorless and
odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon mon-
oxide is dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
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.
NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device being programmed to
HomeLink
®for quicker programming and
accurate transmission of the radio-fre-
quency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away
from the HomeLink
®surface, keeping
the HomeLink®indicator light*1in
view.

2. Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink®
button and handheld transmitter but-
ton. DO NOT release until the
HomeLink
®indicator light*1flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. (The rapid
flashing indicates successful program-
ming.)
NOTE:
Some devices to be programmed may
require you to replace Step 2 with the
cycling procedure noted in the “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®for Canadian customers and gate openers”
later in
this section.

3. Press and hold the programmedHomeLink®button and observe the
indicator light.
.If the indicator light*1is solid/
continuous, programming is com-
plete and your device should acti-
vate when the HomeLink
®button is
pressed and released.
.If the indicator light*1blinks
rapidly for two seconds and then
turns to a solid/continuous light,
continue with Steps 4-6 for a rolling
code device. A second person may
make the following steps easier. Use
a ladder or other device. Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the
next steps.
4. At the receiver located on the garage door opener motor in the garage, locate
the “learn” or“smart” button (the
name and color of the button may vary
by manufacturer but it is usually
located near where the hanging anten-
na wire is attached to the unit). If there
is difficulty locating the button, refer-
ence the garage door opener’s manual.
5. Press and release the “learn” or
“smart” button.
NOTE:
Once the button is pressed, you have
approximately 30 seconds to initiate
the next step.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the programmed HomeLink
®
button for two seconds and release.
Repeat the “press/hold/release” se-
quence up to 3 times to complete the
programming process. HomeLink
®
should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
7. 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 AND GATE
OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out”(or quit)
after several seconds of transmission –
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink
®to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are de-
signed to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®” procedures, re-
place “Programming HomeLink®”Step 2
with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cy-
cling” process to prevent possible damage
to the garage door opener components.
Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink
®
button and the hand-held transmitter

indicator appears on the dot matrix liquid
crystal display, push the push-button
ignition switch again while lightly turning
the steering wheel right and left. (See“Dot
matrix liquid crystal display” in the“2.
Instruments and controls” section.)
If the battery of the vehicle is discharged,
the push-button ignition switch cannot be
turned from the LOCK position.
Some indicators and warnings for opera-
tion are displayed on the dot matrix liquid
crystal display between the speedometer
and tachometer. (See “Dot matrix liquid
crystal display” in the“2. Instruments and
controls” section.)
PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH
POSITIONS
LOCK (Normal parking position)
The ignition switch can only be locked in
this position.
The ignition switch will be unlocked when
it is pushed to the ACC position while
carrying the Intelligent Key or with the
Intelligent Key inserted in the port.
ACC (Accessories)
This position activates electrical acces-
sories such as the radio, when the hybrid
system is not running.
ON (Normal operating position)
This position turns on the ignition system
and electrical accessories.
OFF
The hybrid system can be turned off in this
position.
The ignition lock is designed so that the
ignition switch cannot be switched to the
LOCK position until the selector lever is
moved to the P (Park) position.
CAUTION
Do not leave the vehicle with the push-
button ignition switch in ACC or ON posi-
tions when the hybrid system is not running
for an extended period. This can discharge
the 12-volt battery.
EMERGENCY ENGINE SHUT OFF
To shut off the engine in an emergency
situation while driving perform the follow-
ing procedure:
.Rapidly push the push-button ignition
switch 3 consecutive times.
. Push and hold the push button ignition
switch for more than 2 seconds.
