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®
The following steps show generic instruc-
tions how to program a HomeLink®
button. If you have any questions or are
having difficulty programming your
HomeLink® buttons, refer to the
HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.
com/nissan 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.

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
“Programming HomeLink®” procedures,
replace “Programming HomeLink®” Step
3 with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door
opener, etc., unplug the device during
the “cycling” process to prevent possi-
ble damage to the device components.
Step 3: While the HomeLink® indicator
light is flashing in orange, press and
release (“cycling”) the hand-held transmit-
ter button every 2 seconds. Continue to
press and release the hand-held trans-
mitter button until the HomeLink® indi-cator light changes from orange to green.
When the indicator light illuminates in
green, hand-held transmitter button may
be released.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®”
step 4 to complete.
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, firmly press the appropriate pro-
grammed HomeLink® button. The
indicator light will illuminate in green with
three parenthesis
on the mirror
while the signal is being transmitted.
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® button.
. press and hold the HomeLink® button
and hand-held transmitter button in
each step without interruption. .
position the hand-held transmitter 1
to 3 in (2 to 8 cm) away from the
HomeLink® button. 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 -
for example, 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm)
away, keeping the HomeLink® button
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/nissan or 1-800-

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® button, com-
plete the following.
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink®button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will illuminate in green, and after 20 seconds it will
begin to flash in orange and “TRAIN-
ING” is displayed on the mirror.
3. Release the HomeLink® button and proceed with “Programming
HomeLink®” — Step 3.
For questions or comments, contact
HomeLink® at: www.homelink.com/
nissan or 1-800-355-3515.

USING THE GARAGE DOOR TWO-
WAY COMMUNICATION
HomeLink® has the function of commu-
nicating with garage door opener sys-
tems. If your garage door openers are
compatible with HomeLink®, the
HomeLink® can:
. receive and display “closing” or “open-
ing” status from your garage door
opener.
. recall and display the garage door
being “closed” or “opened”.
HomeLink® can receive the status from a
garage door opener at a range up to 820
ft (250 m), but it varies depending on the
environment. You may need to reduce
vehicle speed to successfully receive the
garage door opener communication.
Programming two-way communi-
cation
After programming a new HomeLink®
button, proceed with “Programming
HomeLink®” Step 6 to enable two-way
communication. If the garage door status
indicator appears on the left side on the
mirror when pressing the programmed
HomeLink® button, the two-way commu-
nication programming is complete.

Using two-way communication
Press and hold the HomeLink® buttons (1
and 2) simultaneously for 2 seconds to
recall and display the last recorded gar-
age door status communicated to
HomeLink®. HomeLink® will display the
last recorded status for 3 seconds.
If two-way communication programming
is successful, HomeLink® will display the
status of your garage door opener with
the status indicator
, which changes
depending on the status. The garage
door opener status indicator shows the
garage door opener status as follows:
