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
HomeLink
®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
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 antenna wire is attached to the
unit). If there is difficulty locating the button,
reference 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” sequence up to 3
times to complete the programming pro-
cess. HomeLink
®should now activate your
rolling code equipped device.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink®FOR CA-
NADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS
GUID-8263D00C-5505-4CBD-9B5E-CB372155C17ACanadian 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

When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both

Proceed with “Programming HomeLink

to complete.
Remember to plug the device back in when
programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HomeLink®UNIVER-
SAL TRANSCEIVER
GUID-19BE850B-BBDC-470B-9850-DE6B57FF6B98The HomeLink®Universal Transceiver, after it is
programmed, can be used to activate the
programmed device. To operate, simply press
and release the appropriate programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver button. The
amber indicator light will illuminate while the
signal is being transmitted.
For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of
the device may also be used at any time.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLESHOOT-
ING
GUID-0B904713-E37A-46A3-9A90-63FADE14E79CIf 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.
. press and hold both the HomeLink®and
hand-held transmitter buttons without inter-
ruption.
. position the hand-held transmitter 1-3 in
(26-76 mm) away from the HomeLink
®
surface. Hold the transmitter in that position
for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLink®is not
programmed within that time, try holding the
transmitter in another position - keeping the
indicator light in view at all times.
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink
®buttons, refer to
the HomeLink®web site at: www.homelink.com
or 1-800-355-3515.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED IN-
FORMATION
GUID-8C1871E3-C252-465F-A399-47B1EB58E018The following procedure clears the programmed
information from both buttons. Individual buttons
cannot be cleared. However, individual buttons
can be reprogrammed, see “Reprogramming a
single HomeLink
®button” later in this section.
To clear all programmingGUID-A8FB6BA7-7DB6-4CE5-B9B3-E2187D21C0EE1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink®
buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash in approximately 10 seconds. Do not
hold for longer than 20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
HomeLink
®is now in the programming mode
and can be programmed at any time beginning
with “Programming HomeLink
®” - Step 1.

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK
(Hardtop models)
GUID-02E4EA0C-4602-4E41-993C-FC56ED415767The child safety rear door locks help prevent
doors from being opened accidentally, espe-
cially when small children are in the vehicle.

WARNING
. Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those
who use a pacemaker should con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for the possible influ-
ences before use.
. The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are
pushed. The FAA advises that radio
waves may affect aircraft navigation
and communication systems. Do not
operate the Intelligent Key while on
an airplane. Make sure the buttons
are not operated unintentionally
when the unit is stored for a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door (including the lift gate) and the trunk lid
locks using the remote keyless function or
pushing the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or condi-
tions 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 vehi-
cle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in
the vehicle when you leave the
vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating with
the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The
Intelligent Key system transmits 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 broad-
casting station.
. When in possession of wireless equipment,
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 personal

It is possible to lock/unlock all doors and the lift
gate/trunk lid, activate the panic alarm and open
the windows and lift gate/trunk lid (if so
equipped) by pushing the buttons on the
Intelligent Key from outside the vehicle.
Before locking the doors, make sure the
Intelligent Key is not left in the vehicle.
The LOCK/UNLOCK button on the Intelligent
Key can operate at a distance of approximately
33 ft (10 m) from the vehicle. (The effective
distance depends upon the conditions around
the vehicle.) As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can
be used with one vehicle. For information
concerning the purchase and use of additional
Intelligent Keys, contact a NISSAN dealer.
The lock and unlock buttons will not operate when:
.
the distance between the Intelligent Key and
the vehicle is over 33 ft (10 m) .
. the Intelligent Key battery is discharged.
After locking with the remote keyless entry
function, pull the door handle to make sure the
doors are securely locked.
The LOCK/UNLOCK operating range varies
depending on the environment. To securely
operate the lock and unlock buttons, approach
the vehicle to about 3 ft (1 m) from the door.
