seconds if a tire is flat. For additional information, see “Low tire pres- sure warning system” in the “5. Starting and driving” section and “Flat tire” in the “6. In case


of emergency” section. Also, you can check the tire pressure of all 4 tires on the trip computer display. See “Trip computer” earlier in this sec- tion.


WARNING


I If the light does not come on with the key switch turned ON, have the ve- hicle checked by a NISSAN dealer as soon as possible.


I If the light comes on while driving, avoid sudden steering maneuvers or abrupt braking, reduce vehicle speed, pull off the road to a safe location and stop the vehicle as soon as pos- sible. Serious vehicle damage could occur and may lead to an accident and could result in serious personal injury. Check the pressure for all four tires and adjust the pressure to the COLD tire pressure shown on the tire placard. If the light still comes on while driving after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may be flat. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon as possible.


I When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel is replaced, tire pressure will not be indicated and the low tire pressure warning system will not function. Contact your NISSAN dealer as soon as possible for tire replacement and/or system reset- ting.


CAUTION


I The low tire pressure warning is not a substitute for the regular tire pres- sure check. Be sure to check the tire pressure regularly.

HEADLIGHT AND TURN SIGNAL SWITCH XENON HEADLIGHTS (if so equipped)


WARNING


HIGH VOLTAGE


I When xenon headlights are on, they produce a high voltage. To prevent an electric shock, never attempt to modify or disassemble. Always have your xenon headlights replaced at a NISSAN dealer.


I Xenon headlights provide consider- ably more light than conventional headlights. If they are not correctly aimed, they might temporarily blind an oncoming driver or the driver ahead of you and cause a serious accident. If headlights are not aimed correctly, immediately take your ve- hicle to a NISSAN dealer and have the headlights adjusted correctly.


When the xenon headlight is initially turned on, its brightness or color varies slightly. However, the color and brightness will soon stabilize.


I The life of xenon headlights will be shortened by frequent on-off operation. It is generally desirable not to turn off the headlights for short intervals (for example, when the vehicle stops at a traffic signal). Even when the daytime running lights are active (Canada only), the xenon headlights do not turn on. This way the life of the xenon headlights is not reduced.


I If the xenon headlight bulb is close to burning out, the brightness will drasti- cally decrease, the light will start blink- ing, or the color of the light will become reddish. If one or more of the above signs appear, contact a NISSAN dealer.

TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped) 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: I Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) devices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks and se- curity systems.


I Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehi- cle’s battery is discharged or is discon- nected, HomeLink will retain all program- ming.


Once the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is programmed, retain the original trans- mitter for future programming procedures (for example, 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 “Pro- gramming HomeLink ” later in this section.


Z 02.9.13/Z33-D/V5.0 X


WARNING


I Do not use the HomeLink Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by fed- eral safety standards. (These stan- dards became effective 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 auto- matically stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety stan- dards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.


I During programming, your garage door or gate may open or close. Make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or gate that you are programming.


I Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLink Universal Transceiver.


PROGRAMMING HomeLink To program your HomeLink Transceiver to oper- ate a garage door, gate, or entry door opener, home or office lighting, you need to be at the same location as the device. Note: Garage door openers (manufactured after 1996) have “rolling code protection”. To program a garage door opener equipped with “rolling code protection”; you will need to use a ladder to get up to the garage door opener motor to be able to access the “smart or learn” program button.

If the indicator light on the HomeLink blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns solid, HomeLink has picked up a “rolling code” garage door opener signal. You will need to proceed with the next steps to train the HomeLink to complete the programming which may require a ladder and another person for convenience.


6. Press and release the “smart” or “learn” program button located on the garage door opener’s motor to activate the “training mode”. This button is usually located near the antenna wire that hangs down from the mo- tor. If the wire originates from under a light lens, you will need to remove the lens to access the program button.


NOTE: Once you have pressed and released the program button on the garage door open- er’s motor and the “training light” is lit, you have 30 seconds in which to perform step 7. Use the help of a second person for convenience to assist when performing this step. 7. Quickly within 30 seconds of pressing and
