The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides 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 de- vices 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 ve-
hicle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all pro-
gramming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures (Ex-
ample: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For additional
information, refer to “Programming
HomeLink®” in this section.WARNING
∙ Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink® Uni-
versal Transceiver. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Push-button ignition
switch” in the “Starting and driving” sec-
tion of this manual. Do not breathe ex-
haust gases; they contain colorless and
odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon mon-
oxide is dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
∙ Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse fea-
tures as required by federal safety stan-
dards. (These standards became effec-
tive for opener models manufactured
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 stan-
dards. Using a garage door opener with-
out these features increases the risk of
serious injury or death. ∙ During the programming procedure 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.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having diffi-
culty programming your HomeLink® but-
tons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515.
NOTE:
Place the ignition switch in the ON position
(without starting the engine) when pro-
gramming HomeLink®. It is also recom-
mended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink® for quicker pro-
gramming and accurate transmission of the
radio frequency.

INFINITI VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER
SYSTEM KEYS
You can only drive your vehicle using the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to the
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System compo-
nents in your vehicle.
The mechanical key can be used for all the
locks.
Never leave the keys in the vehicle.
Additional or replacement keys:
If you still have a key, the key number is not
necessary when you need extra INFINITI Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System keys. Your existing
key can be duplicated without knowing the
key number. As many as four INFINITI Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System keys can be used
with one vehicle. You should bring all
INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System keys
that you have to the INFINITI retailer for
registration. This is because the registration
process will erase the memory of all key
codes previously registered into the INFINITI
Vehicle Immobilizer System. After the regis-
tration process, these components will only
recognize keys coded into the INFINITI Ve-
hicle Immobilizer System during registration.Any key that is not given to the retailer at the
time of registration will no longer be able to
start your vehicle.CAUTION
Do not allow the immobilizer system key,
which contains an electrical transponder,
to come into contact with water or salt wa-
ter. This could affect system function.
When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be
opened using the outside door handles. The
doors must be unlocked to open the doors.WARNING
∙ Always have the doors locked while driv-
ing. Along with the use of seat belts, this
provides greater safety in the event of an
accident by helping to prevent persons
from being thrown from the vehicle. This
also helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors, and
will help keep out intruders.
∙ Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of the ve-
hicle and/or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows and/or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the assis-
tance of others and/or pets unattended
in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside a closed vehicle on a
warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of in-
jury or death to people and pets.

WARNING
∙ Radio waves could adversely affect elec-tric medical equipment. Those who use a
pacemaker should contact the electric
medical equipment manufacturer for the
possible influences before use.
∙ The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are pressed. The
FAA advises the 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.
∙
Before leaving the vehicle, engage the P
(Park) position and check that the elec-
tronic parking brake warning light is illumi-
nated to confirm that the electronic park-
ing brake is applied. The electronic parking
brake warning light will remain on for a pe-
riod of time after the driver’s door is locked.
∙ Make sure to engage the P (Park) posi- tion and apply the parking brake when
parking your vehicle, riding on or off the
vehicle or loading luggage. Failure to do
so could cause the vehicle to move or roll
away unexpectedly and result in serious
personal injury or property damage. The Intelligent Key system can operate all the
door locks using the remote control function
or pushing the request switch on the vehicle
without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or
conditions may affect the Intelligent Key sys-
tem 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 vehicle.
∙ Never leave the Intelligent Key in the ve- hicle 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 equip-
ment, such as a cellular telephone, trans-
ceiver or a 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
computer.
∙ When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key function
or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies de-
pending on the operating conditions, the bat-
tery’s life is approximately two years. If the
battery is discharged, replace it with a new
one.
When the Intelligent Key battery is low, a
“Key Battery Low” indicator illuminates in the
vehicle information display. For additional in-
formation, refer to “Vehicle information dis-
play warnings and indicators” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this manual.
