If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink buttons, please refer to the HomeLink web site at: ww- w.homelink.com or call 1-800-662-6200. PROGRAMMING HomeLink FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required hand- held transmitters to stop transmitting after 2
seconds. To program your hand-held transmitter to HomeLink , continue to press and hold the HomeLink button (note steps 2 through 4
under “Programming HomeLink ”) while you press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter every 2 seconds until the indicator

Z 02.9.13/Z33-D/V5.0 X

I press and hold both the HomeLink

and hand-held transmitter buttons without inter- ruption.

I position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5
inches (50 to 127 mm) away from the HomeLink surface. 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 - keeping the indicator light in view at all times.

If you continue to have programming difficulties, please contact the NISSAN Consumer Affairs Department. The phone numbers are located in the Foreword of this Owner’s Manual. CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED INFORMATION Individual buttons cannot be cleared, however to clear all programming, press and hold the two outside buttons and release when the indicator light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds).

light flashes rapidly (indicating successful pro- gramming). NOTE:

If programming a garage door opener, etc., it is advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible damage to the garage door opener compo- nents. OPERATING THE HomeLink UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER The HomeLink Universal Transceiver (once programmed) may now be used to activate the garage door, etc. To operate, simply press the appropriate programmed HomeLink Universal Transceiver button. The red indicator light will illuminate while the signal is being transmitted. PROGRAMMING TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS If the HomeLink does not quickly learn the hand-held transmitter information: I replace the hand-held transmitter batteries

with new batteries.

I position the hand-held transmitter with its battery area facing away from the HomeLink surface.

REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE HomeLink BUTTON To reprogram a HomeLink Universal Trans- ceiver button, complete the following.

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink but- ton. Do not release the button until step 4
has been completed.

2. When the indicator

light begins to flash slowly (after 20 seconds), position the hand- held transmitter 2 to 5 inches (50 to 127 mm) away from the HomeLink surface.

3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter

button.

4. The HomeLink indicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light begins to flash rapidly, release both buttons.

The HomeLink Universal Transceiver button has now been reprogrammed. The new device can be activated by pushing the HomeLink button that was just programmed. This proce- dure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink buttons. IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN If your vehicle is stolen, you should change the codes of any non-rolling code device that has Instruments and controls 2-39

When your vehicle is recovered, you will need to reprogram the HomeLink Univer- sal Transceiver with your new transmitter information. FCC Notice: This device complies with FCC rules part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference and (2) This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The transmitter has been tested and com- plies with FCC and DOC/MDC rules. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for com- pliance could void the user’s authority to operate the device. DOC: ISTC 1763K1313

in the safe place (such as your wallet), not vehicle. NISSAN does not record any key num- bers 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, this key can be duplicated by your NISSAN dealer. Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System KEY - Master and Valet keys: The key number is necessary when you need extra Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys. As many as 5 Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys can be used with one vehicle. New keys must be registered to the Nissan Vehicle Immo- bilizer System components in your vehicle by your NISSAN dealer. At this time, you should bring all Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System keys that you have to your NISSAN dealer for regis- tration. This is because the registration process will erase all memory of the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System components.

WARNING

I Always have the doors locked while driving. 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 uninten- tionally opening the doors, and will help keep out intruders.

I Before opening any door, always look for and avoid oncoming traffic. I Do not leave children unattended in- side the vehicle. They could unknow- ingly activate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in serious accidents.

I Do not place the keyfob for an ex- tended period in an area where tem- peratures exceed 140°F (60°C).

If a keyfob is lost or stolen, NISSAN recommends erasing the ID code of that keyfob. This will prevent the keyfob from unauthorized use to unlock the vehicle. For information regarding the erasing procedure, please contact a NISSAN dealer.

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYSTEM It is possible to lock/unlock all doors (including the rear hatch), release the rear hatch and activate the panic alarm by using the keyfob from outside the vehicle. Before locking the doors, make sure the key is not left in the vehicle. The keyfob can operate at a distance of approxi- mately 33 ft (The effective distance depends upon the conditions around the vehicle.) As many as 5 keyfobs can be used with one vehicle. For information concerning the purchase and use of additional keyfobs, contact your NISSAN dealer.

reception conditions will constantly ment, change. Buildings, terrain, signal distance and interference from other vehicles can work against ideal reception. Described below are some of the factors that can affect your radio reception.

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER

AUDIO SYSTEM

The air conditioning system in your NISSAN vehicle is charged with a refrigerant designed with the environment in mind. This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone layer. How- ever, special charging equipment and lubricant are required when servicing your NISSAN air conditioner. Using improper refrigerants or lubri- cants will cause severe damage to your air conditioning system. See “Capacities and rec- ommended fuel/lubricants” in the “9. Technical and consumer information” section for air con- ditioning system refrigerant and lubricant recom- mendations.

Your NISSAN dealer will be able to service your environmentally friendly air conditioning system.

WARNING

The air conditioner system contains re- frigerant under high pressure. To avoid personal injury, any air conditioner ser- vice should be done only by an experi- enced technician with proper equip- ment.

Turn the ignition key to ACC or ON and press the POWER, FM or AM button to turn on the radio. If you listen to the radio with the engine not running, the key should be turned to the ACC position. Radio reception is affected by station signal strength, distance from radio transmitter, build- ings, bridges, mountains and other external in- fluences. Intermittent changes in reception qual- ity normally are caused by these external influences. Using a cellular phone in or near the ve- hicle may influence radio reception quality. Radio reception Your radio system is equipped with state-of-the- art electronic circuits to enhance radio recep- tion. These circuits are designed to extend re- ception range, and to enhance the quality of that reception. However there are some general characteristics of both FM and AM radio signals that can affect radio reception quality in a moving vehicle, even when the finest equipment is used. These char- acteristics are completely normal in a given reception area, and do not indicate any malfunc- tion in your radio system. Remember that a moving vehicle is not the ideal place to listen to a radio. Because of the move-

Z 02.9.13/Z33-D/V5.0 X

a station transmitter, the signals will tend to fade and/or drift.

Static and flutter: During signal interference from buildings, large hills or due to antenna position, usually in conjunction with increased distance from the station transmitter, static or flutter can be heard. This can be reduced by adjusting the treble control counterclockwise to reduce treble response. Multipath reception: Because of the reflective characteristics of FM signals, direct and re- flected signals reach the receiver at the same time. The signals may cancel each other, result- ing in momentary flutter or loss of sound. AM RADIO RECEPTION AM signals, because of their low frequency, can bend around objects and skip along the ground. In addition, the signals can be bounced off the ionosphere and bent back to earth. Because of these characteristics. AM signals are also sub- ject to interference as they travel from transmitter to receiver. Fading: Occurs while the vehicle is passing through freeway underpasses or in areas with many tall buildings. It can also occur for several seconds during ionospheric turbulence even in areas where no obstacles exist. Static: Caused by thunderstorms, electrical

power lines, electric signs and even traffic lights. AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS Cassette player I To maintain good quality

sound, NISSAN recommends using cassette tapes of 60 minutes or shorter in length. I Cassette tapes should be removed from the player when not in use. Store cas- settes in their protective cases and away from direct sunlight, heat, dust, moisture and magnetic sources.

I Direct sunlight can cause the cassette to become deformed. The use of deformed cassettes may cause the cassette to jam in the player.

I Do not use cassettes with labels which are peeling and loose. If used, the label could jam in the player.

I If a cassette has loose tape, insert a pencil through one of the cassette hubs and rewind the tape firmly around the hubs. Loose tape may cause tape jam- ming and wavering sound quality.

I Over a period of time, the playback head, capstan and pinch roller may col- lect a tape coating residue as the tape is Heater, air conditioner and audio systems 4-7

FM RADIO RECEPTION Range: FM range is normally limited to 25 to 30
miles (40 to 48 km), with monaural (single channel) FM having slightly more range than stereo FM. External influences may sometimes interfere with FM station reception even if the FM station is within 25 miles (40 km). The strength of the FM signal is directly related to the distance between the transmitter and receiver. FM signals follow a line-of-sight path, exhibiting many of the same characteristics as light. For example they will reflect off objects.

Fade and drift: As your vehicle moves away from

Compact Disc (CD) player I During cold weather or rainy days, the player may malfunction due to the hu- midity. If this occurs, remove the CD and dehumidify or ventilate the player com- pletely.

I The player may skip while driving on

rough roads.

I The CD player sometimes cannot func- tion when the compartment tempera- ture is extremely high. Decrease the temperature before use.

I CDs that are of poor quality, dirty, scratched, covered with fingerprints, or that have pin holes may not work prop- erly.

I The following CDs may not work prop-

erly: I Copy control compact discs (CCCD) I Recordable compact discs (CD-R) I Rewritable compact discs (CD-RW)
