orAnti-lock Braking System
(ABS) warning light
GUID-8A62F588-9043-44FD-BA02-00E8EAA88718When the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning
light illuminates and then turns off. This indicates
the ABS is operational.
If the ABS warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may
indicate the ABS is not functioning properly.
Have the system checked by a NISSAN dealer.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock
function is turned off. The brake system then
operates normally, but without anti-lock assis-
tance. (See “Brake system” (P.5-25).)

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 transmit- ter 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 button. DO NOT re-
lease until the HomeLink
®indicator light*1
flashes slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons
may be released. (The rapid flashing indi-
cates successful programming.)
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” (P.2-56) .

3. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink®
button and observe the indicator light..If the indicator light*1is solid/contin-
uous, programming is complete and your
device should activate when the

®button is pressed and re-
leased.
.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

“learn” or “smart” button (the name and
color of the button may vary by manufacturer
but it is usually located near where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to the

NOTE:
Once the button is pressed, you have
approximately 30 seconds to initiate

PROGRAMMING HomeLink®FOR CA-
NADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS
GUID-9EF57A16-98F7-4AF2-B955-DF69ADB34ABFCanadian radio-frequency laws require trans-
mitter 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 designed 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 “Programming HomeLink
®”
procedures, replace “Programming HomeLink®”
Step 2 with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cycling”
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 button. During program-
ming, your hand-held transmitter may automati-
cally stop transmitting. Continue to press and
hold the desired HomeLink
®button while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until the fre-
quency signal has been learned. The HomeLink
®
indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly
after several seconds upon successful program-
ming. DO NOT release until the HomeLink
®
indicator light flashes slowly and then rapidly.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The rapid flashing
indicates successful programming.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink
®” step 3
to complete.
Remember to plug the device back in when
programming is completed.
