The climate controlled seat warms up or
cools down the front seats by blowing
warm or cool air from the surface of the
seat. The switches located on the center
console can be operated independently
of each other.
The surface temperature of the climate
controlled seats is automatically con-
trolled at an optimum temperature. How-
ever, adjust the temperature using the
control knob if the seats are too hot or
cold.
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the control knob
to the heat
sideor to the cool side. The
indicator lighton the control knob will illuminate.
3. Adjust the desired amount of the air using the control knob
.
4. When the vehicle’s interior is warmed or cooled, and/or before you leave the
vehicle, be sure to turn the control
knob to the OFF position (center). The
indicator light
on the control knob
goes off at the OFF position.
The climate controlled seat has air
filters. If the climate controlled seat is
not functioning properly, it may indi-
cate the air filters may be clogged. To
check the air filters for the climate
controlled seat, it is recommended
you visit a NISSAN dealer.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use
the climate controlled seat if you or
the occupants cannot monitor seat
temperatures or have an inability to
feel pain in those body parts in
contact with the seat. Use of the
climate controlled seats by such
people could result in serious injury.
CAUTION
. Do not place objects in front of
the intake inlets located behind
and under the front seat. Doing
so could cause improper opera-
tion or interruption of the opera-
tion.
. The battery could run down if the
climate controlled seat is oper-
ated while the engine is not run-
ning.
. Do not use the climate controlled
seat for extended periods or
when no one is using the seat.
. Do not put anything on the seat
which insulates heat, such as a
blanket, cushion, seat cover, etc.
Otherwise, the seat may become
overheated.
. Do not place anything hard or
heavy on the seat or pierce it with
a pin or similar object. This may
result in damage to the climate
controlled seat.
. Any liquid spilled on the seat
should be removed immediately
with a dry cloth.

CAUTION
When the battery cable is removed
from the battery terminal, do not
close either of the front doors. The
automatic window adjusting func-
tion will not work and the side roof
panel may be damaged.
The power window has an automatic
adjusting function. When the door is
being opened, the window is automati-
cally lowered slightly to avoid contact
between the window and the side roof
panel. When the door is closed, the
window is automatically raised slightly.
While the automatic adjusting function
does not work, the window will be con-
trolled as follows: .
When the door is opened, the window
lowers for approximately 2 seconds.
. While the door is open, the window
cannot be raised.

alize the power window system.
1. Push the ignition switch to the ON
position.
2. Close the door and soft top (Roadster models).
3. Open the window completely by op- erating the power window switch.
4. Pull the power window switch and hold it to close the window, and then
hold the switch more than 3 seconds
after the window is closed completely.
5. Release the power window switch. Operate the window by the automatic
function to confirm the initialization is
complete.
6. Perform steps 2 through 5 above for other windows.

The HomeLink® Universal 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 security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery.
No separate batteries are required. If
the vehicle’s battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink® will retain
all programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the origi-
nal transmitter for future programming
procedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased
for security purposes. For additional
information, refer to “Programming
HomeLink®” (P.2-53).
WARNING
. Do not use the HomeLink® Uni-
versal Transceiver with any gar-
age door opener that lacks safety

stop and reverse features as re-
quired by federal safety stan-
dards. (These standards became
effective for opener models man-
ufactured 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 fea-
tures increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
. During the programming proce-
dure 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 Trans-
ceiver. Do not breathe exhaust
gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It
can cause unconsciousness 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 pro-
grammed to HomeLink® for quicker
programming and accurate transmis-
sion of the radio-frequency.
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
in
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
flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. (The rapid
flashing indicates successful pro-
gramming.)
NOTE:
Some devices to be programmed
may require you to replace Step 2

the frequency signal has been learned.
The HomeLink® indicator light will flash
slowly and then rapidly after several
seconds upon successful programming.
DO NOTrelease 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

Remember to plug the device back in
when programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HomeLink® UNI-
VERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver,
after it is programmed, can be used to
activate the programmed device. To op-
erate, simply press and release the appro-
priate programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver button. The amber indicator
light will illuminate while the signal is
being transmitted.
For convenience, the hand-held transmit-
ter of the device may also be used at any
time.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLESHOOT-
ING
If 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 interruption.
. position the hand-held transmitter 1-3
in (26-76 mm) away from the
HomeLink® surface. Hold the transmit-
ter in that position for up to 15
seconds. If HomeLink® is not pro-
grammed 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
The following procedure clears the pro-
grammed information from both buttons.
Individual buttons cannot be cleared.
However, individual buttons can be re-
programmed, see “Reprogramming a sin-
gle HomeLink® button” (P.2-55).
To clear all programming
1. 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.
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HomeLink® BUTTON
To reprogram a HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver button, complete the follow-
