tion. It is generally desirable not to turn
off the headlights for short intervals
(for example, when the vehicle stops at
a traffic signal) . This way the life of the
xenon headlights is not reduced.
. If the xenon headlight bulb is close to
burning out, the brightness will drasti-
cally decrease, the light will start
blinking, or the color of the light will
become reddish. If one or more of the
above signs appear, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer.

The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) switch will turn
on and off the BSW system.
The BSW system will illuminate the side
indicator lights, in the outside mirrors, when
the radar sensors detect a vehicle in the
detection zone. If the turn signal is activated in
the direction of the detected vehicle, a chime
sounds twice and the side indicator light will
flash. (See “Blind Spot Warning (BSW)” (P.5-
17) .)
The BSW system will remain in the last ON or
OFF state it was left in until it is manually
changed by pushing the BSW switch.
To cancel the BSW system, push the BSW
switch to turn off the system. The BSW ONindicator light

The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. The
indicator light will illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. (See “Vehicle

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

PROGRAMMING HomeLink ŠFOR CA-
NADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS
Canadian 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
Što 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
Š”
procedures, replace “Programming HomeLink Š”
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
Šbutton 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
Šbutton while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until the fre-
quency signal has been learned. The HomeLink
Š
indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly
after several seconds upon successful program-
ming. DO NOT release until the HomeLink
Š
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
Š” step 3
to complete.
Remember to plug the device back in when
programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HomeLink ŠUNIVER-
SAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLink ŠUniversal Transceiver, after it is
programmed, can be used to activate the
programmed device. To operate, simply press
and release the appropriate programmed
HomeLink
ŠUniversal 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.

automatically open or close.
If the door handle is operated while the sliding
door is moving, the door will reverse directions
and stop at either the full open or closed
position.

If an obstacle is detected while the power
sliding door is being operated, the door will

will start moving in the reverse direction and
stop at the fully opened position.
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 locks (including the liftgate) 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 environ-
ment 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 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
signals. 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 signals 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

Difference between predictive and actual
distances
The displayed guide lines and their locations on
the ground are for approximate reference only.
Objects on uphill or downhill surfaces or
projecting objects will be actually located at
distances different from those displayed in the
monitor relative to the guide lines (refer to
illustrations) . When in doubt, turn around and
view the objects as you are backing up, or park
and exit the vehicle to view the positioning of
objects behind the vehicle.

AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Radio
Push the ignition switch to the ACC or ON
position and push the radio band select button
to turn on the radio. If you listen to the radio with
the engine not running, the ignition switch
should be pushed to the ACC position.
Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external
influences. Intermittent changes in reception
quality normally are caused by these external
influences.
Using a cellular phone in or near the
vehicle may influence radio reception
quality.
Radio reception:
Your vehicle radio system is equipped with
state-of-the-art electronic circuits to enhance
radio reception. These circuits are designed to
extend reception range, and to enhance the
quality of that reception.
However there are some general characteristics
of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect
radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even
when the finest equipment is used. These
characteristics are completely normal in a given
reception area, and do not indicate any mal-function in your vehicle radio system.
Reception conditions will constantly change
because of vehicle movement. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and interference from other
vehicles can work against ideal reception.
Described below are some of the factors that
can affect your radio reception.
Some cellular phones or other devices may
cause interference or a buzzing noise to come
from the audio system speakers. Storing the
device in a different location may reduce or
eliminate the noise.
SAA0306
FM radio reception:
Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30
miles (40 to 48 km) , with monaural (single
channel) FM having slightly more range than
stereo FM. External influences may sometimes
interfere with FM station reception even if the
FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The
strength of the FM signal is directly related to the
distance between the transmitter and receiver.
FM signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting
many of the same characteristics as light. For
example they will reflect off objects.
Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from
a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade
and/or drift.
