3. Press and hold the programmedHomeLink® button and observe the
indicator light.
.If the indicator lightis solid/
continuous, programming is com-
plete and your device should acti-
vate when the HomeLink® button is
pressed and released.
.If the indicator lightblinks 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 hang-
ing 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” se-
quence up to 3 times to complete
the programming process. HomeLink®
should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
7. 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.
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
2 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 garage door opener
components.
Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink®
button and the hand-held transmitter
button. During programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting. Continue to press and hold
the desired HomeLink® button while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-

Welcome light and farewell light
function
When you lock or unlock the doors or the
liftgate, the daytime running lights, park-
ing lights and the tail lights will illuminate
for a period of time. The welcome light
and farewell light function can be dis-
abled. For information about disabling
the welcome light and farewell light
function, see “Vehicle Settings” (P.2-23).
Locking doors
1. Move the shift lever to the P (Park)position (Continuously Variable Trans-
mission (CVT) models), or the shift
lever in the N (Neutral) position (Man-
ual Transmission (MT) models), place
the ignition switch in the OFF position
and make sure you carry the Intelli-
gent Key with you.
2. Close all doors.
3. Push any door handle request switch while carrying the Intelligent Key with
you.
4. All doors and the liftgate will lock.
5. The hazard indicator lights flash twice and the outside buzzer sounds twice.

the liftgate can be deactivated when
the I-Key Door Lock setting is turned off in the Vehicle Settings of the
vehicle information display. For ad-
ditional information, see “Vehicle
Settings” (P.2-23).
. Doors lock with the door handle
request switch while the ignition
switch is not in the LOCK position.
. Doors do not lock by pushing the
door handle request switch while
any door is open. However, doors
lock with the mechanical key even if
any door is open.
. Doors do not lock with the door
handle request switch with the In-
telligent Key inside the vehicle and a
beep sounds to warn you. However,
when an Intelligent Key is inside the
vehicle, doors can be locked with
another Intelligent Key.
CAUTION
.After locking the doors using the
request switch, make sure that
the doors have been securely
locked by operating the door
handles or the liftgate opener
switch.
. When locking the doors using the
request switch, make sure to
have the Intelligent Key in your possession before operating the

keep you and your passengers in
position when driving over rough
terrain.
. Do not drive across steep slopes.
Instead drive either straight up or
straight down the slopes. Off-
road vehicles can tip over side-
ways much more easily than they
can forward or backward.
. Many hills are too steep for any
vehicle. If you drive up them, you
may stall. If you drive down them,
you may not be able to control
your speed. If you drive across
them, you may roll over.
. Do not shift ranges while driving
on downhill grades as this could
cause loss of control of the vehi-
cle.
. Stay alert when driving to the top
of a hill. At the top there could be
a drop-off or other hazard that
could cause an accident.
. If your engine stalls or you cannot
make it to the top of a steep hill,
never attempt to turn around.
Your vehicle could tip or roll over.
Always back straight down in R
(Reverse) range. Never back down
in N (Neutral), using only the
brake, as this could cause loss of control.
. Heavy braking going down a hill
could cause your brakes to over-
heat and fade, resulting in loss of
control and an accident. Apply
brakes lightly and use a low
range to control your speed.
. Unsecured cargo can be thrown
around when driving over rough
terrain. Properly secure all cargo
so it will not be thrown forward
and cause injury to you or your
passengers.
. To avoid raising the center of
gravity excessively, do not exceed
the rated capacity of the roof rack
(if so equipped) and evenly dis-
tribute the load. Secure heavy
loads in the cargo area as far
forward and as low as possible.
Do not equip the vehicle with tires
larger than specified in this man-
ual. This could cause your vehicle
to roll over.
. Do not grip the inside or spokes
of the steering wheel when driv-
ing off-road. The steering wheel
could move suddenly and injure
your hands. Instead drive with
your fingers and thumbs on the
outside of the rim. .
Before operating the vehicle, en-
sure that the driver and all pas-
sengers have their seat belts
fastened.
. Always drive with the floor mats
in place as the floor may became
hot.
. Lower your speed when encoun-
tering strong crosswinds. With a
higher center of gravity, your
vehicle is more affected by strong
side winds. Slower speeds ensure
better vehicle control.
. Do not drive beyond the perfor-
mance capability of the tires,
even with AWD engaged.
. For AWD equipped vehicles, do
not attempt to raise two wheels
off the ground and shift the
transmission to any drive or re-
verse position with the engine
running. Doing so may result in
drivetrain damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage
or personal injury.
. Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel
dynamometer (such as the dy-
namometers used by some
states for emissions testing), or
