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 (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 dis-
connected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is
programmed, retain the original transmitter
for future programming procedures (Example:
new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the ve-
hicle, the programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for se-
curity purposes. For additional information,
see “Programming HomeLink®” (P. 2-80).
WARNING
• 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
standards. Using a garage door opener
without 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.
• Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver. Do not breathe
exhaust gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause un-
consciousness or death.PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
The following steps show generic instruc-
tions on 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/infiniti 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 programmed to Homelink® for
quicker programming and accurate trans-
mission of the radio-frequency.

Step 2: Continue to press and hold the
HomeLink® button while you press and re-
lease – every two seconds (“cycle”) your
hand-held transmitter until the HomeLink®
indicator light changes from a slow to a rap-
idly blinking light. Now you may release both
the Homelink® and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®”
step 3 to complete.
Remember to plug the device back in when
programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HOMELINK®
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, after
it is programmed, can be used to activate the
programmed device. To operate, firmly press
the appropriate programmed HomeLink®
button. The indicator light will illuminate in
green with three parenthesis
on the
mirror while the signal is being transmitted.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE-
SHOOTING
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
• Replace the hand-held transmitter batter- ies with new batteries.
• Position the hand-held transmitter with its battery area facing away from the
HomeLink® button.
• Press and hold both 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 transmitter in that position
for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLink® is not
programmed within that time, try holding
the transmitter in another position – for
example, 6 to 12 in (15 to 20 cm) away,
keeping the HomeLink® button in view at
all times.
It is recommended not to place metal objects
near the garage door opener antenna for
optimal functionality. If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web
site at: www.homelink.com/infiniti or call
1-800-355-3515.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED
INFORMATION
The following procedure clears the pro-
grammed information from three buttons.
Individual buttons cannot be cleared. How-
ever, individual buttons can be reprogrammed.
For additional information, see “Reprogram-
ming a single HomeLink® button” (P. 2-84).
To clear all programming
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink®
buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash in green, in approximately 10 sec-
onds. 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.

INFINITI INTELLIGENT KEY
Your vehicle can only be driven with the Intel-
ligent Keys which are registered to your
vehicle’s Intelligent Key System components
and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
components.
Never leave the keys in the vehicle.As many as four Intelligent Keys can be reg-
istered and used with one vehicle. The new
keys must be registered prior to use with the
Intelligent Key System and INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System of your vehicle. It is rec-
ommended that you visit an INFINITI retailer
for this service. Since the registration process
requires erasing all memory in the Intelligent
Key components when registering new keys,
be sure to take all Intelligent Keys that you
have to an INFINITI retailer.
A key number plate is supplied with your keys.
Record the key number and keep it in a safe
place (such as your wallet), not in the vehicle.
If you lose your keys, it is recommended that
you visit an INFINITI retailer for duplicates by
using the key number. INFINITI does not re-
cord key numbers so it is very important to
keep track of your key number plate.
A key number is only necessary when you
have lost all keys and do not have one to
duplicate from. If you still have a key, it can be
duplicated without knowing the key number.
CAUTION
Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when driving. The Intelligent Key is a
precision device with a built-in transmit-
ter. To avoid damaging it, please note the
following:
– The Intelligent Key is water resistant;
however, wetting may damage the In-
telligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets
wet, immediately wipe until it is com-
pletely dry.
– Do not bend, drop or strike it against
another object.
– If the outside temperature is below 14°F
(-10°C), the battery of the Intelligent
Key may not function properly.
– Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in a place where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
– Do not change or modify the Intelligent
Key.
– Do not use a magnet key holder.
– Do not place the Intelligent Key near an
electric appliance such as a television set
or a personal computer.

3-2Pre-driving checks and adjustments

•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 broadcast-
ing station.
• When in possession of wireless equipment, such as a cellular telephone, transceiver or
a CB radio.
• When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote con- trol 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, see “Vehicle information display
warnings and indicators” (P. 2-24).
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and per-
sonal computer, the battery life may become
shorter.
For additional information, see “Battery re-
placement” (P. 8-22).
CAUTION
Listed below are conditions or occurrences
which will damage the Intelligent Key:
• Do not allow the Intelligent Key, which
contains electrical components, to come
into contact with water or salt water.
This could affect the system function.
• Do not drop the Intelligent Key.
• Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply
against another object.
• Do not change or modify the Intelligent
Key.
Pre-driving checks and adjustments3-7

•Wetting may damage the Intelligent
Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, im-
mediately wipe until it is completely dry.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in an area where tem-
peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).
• Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a
key holder that contains a magnet.
• Do not place the Intelligent Key near
equipment that produces a magnetic
field, such as a TV, audio equipment and
personal computers.
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, INFINITI
recommends erasing the ID code of that In-
telligent Key from the vehicle. This may pre-
vent the unauthorized use of the Intelligent
Key to operate the vehicle. For information
regarding the erasing procedure, it is recom-
mended that you visit an INFINITI retailer.
OPERATING RANGE
The Intelligent Key functions can only be used
when the Intelligent Key is within the speci-
fied operating range from the door handle
request switch or the one touch unlock sen-
sor
O1. When the Intelligent Key battery is dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present
near the operating location, the Intelligent
Key operating range becomes narrower, and
the Intelligent Key may not function properly.
The operating range is within 31.5 in (80 cm)
from each request switch or one touch unlock
sensor
O1.
If the Intelligent Key is too close to the door
glass, handle or rear bumper, the request
switches or the one touch unlock sensor may
not function.
If any of the doors are recently closed and
locked, you must wait 2 seconds before you
can unlock the door with the one touch un-
lock sensor. Pulling the handle within 2 sec-
onds of locking the door will allow you time to
confirm that the door has been locked with-
out accidentally unlocking the door with the
one touch unlock sensor.
If you pull the door handle with your gloved
hand, the one touch unlock sensor operation
may not function.
When the Intelligent Key is within the operat-
ing range, it is possible for anyone, even
someone who does not carry the Intelligent
