● Drive extra carefully when the vehicle is loaded at or near the cargo carrying capacity, especially if the significant portion of that load is carried on the roof rack.
● Heavy loading of the roof rack has the potential to affect the vehicle stability and handling during sudden or abnor- mal handling maneuvers.
● Roof
rack load should be evenly
distributed.
ROOF RACK
● Do not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
● Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. In a sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo could cause personal injury.

POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
● Make sure that all passengers have their hands, etc. inside the vehicle while it is in motion and before closing the windows. Use the window lock switch to prevent unexpected use of the power windows.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac- tivate switches or controls and become trapped in a window. Unattended chil- dren could become involved in serious accidents.
The power windows operate when the ignition switch is placed in the ON position, or for about 45 seconds after the ignition switch is placed in the OFF position. If the driver’s or passenger’s door is opened during this period of about 45
seconds, power to the windows is canceled.LIC1200
The crossbars can be adjusted forward and backward. Loosen the thumbwheel 䊊1 and ad- just the crossbar to the desired position. Tighten the thumbwheel. Place your luggage on the bars and secure the luggage with rope to the utility loops 䊊2 . Do not place luggage on the side rails or tie rope directly to the side rails. Always be sure the thumbwheels are fully tightened to keep the crossbar in place. Do not use utility loops for any purpose other than securing luggage.Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof rack. Do not load more than 200 lbs (91 kg) on entire roof rack. Be sure load is evenly distributed across both crossbars. Be careful that your ve- hicle does not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and rear). The GVWR and GAWR are located on the F.M.V.S.S. label (located on the driver’s door pillar).

HOMELINK姞 UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped)
The HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver provides a convenient way to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into one built-in device. HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver: ● Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) devices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks and se- curity systems.
● 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姞 will retain all program- ming.
Once the HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver is programmed, retain the original trans- mitter for future programming procedures (Example: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the programmed HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver buttons should be erased for security purposes. For additional information, refer to “Program- ming HomeLink姞” later in this section.

2-58 Instruments and controls
WARNING
● Do not use the HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and re- verse features as required by federal safety standards. (These standards be- came effective for opener models manufactured after April 1, 1982). A ga- rage 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 in- creases 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姞 Universal Transceiver.

grammed device, press and hold the pro- grammed HomeLink姞 button — releasing when the device begins to activate. If the indicator light on the HomeLink姞 blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns solid, HomeLink姞 has picked up a “rolling code” garage door opener signal. You will need to proceed with the next steps to train the HomeLink姞 to complete the programming which may require a ladder and another per- son for convenience.
6. Press and release the “smart” or “learn” pro- gram 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 motor. 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 conve- nience to assist when performing this step. 7. Within 30 seconds of pressing and releas- ing the garage door opener’s program but-

4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on the HomeLink姞 flashes, changing from a “slow blink” to a “rapidly flashing blink”. This could take up to 90 seconds. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. The rapidly flash- ing light indicates successful programming. To activate the garage door or other pro-
ton, quickly and firmly press and release the HomeLink姞 button you’ve just programmed. Press and release the HomeLink姞 button up to 3 times to complete the training.

NOTE: Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to “clear” programmed HomeLink姞 buttons. If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink姞 buttons, refer to the HomeLink姞 web site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515. PROGRAMMING HOMELINK姞 FOR CANADIAN CUSTOMERS Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required hand- held transmitters to stop transmitting after 2 sec- onds. To program your hand-held transmitter to HomeLink姞, continue to press and hold the HomeLink姞 button (see steps 2 - 4 under “Pro- gramming HomeLink姞”) while you press and re- press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitters every 2 seconds until the indicator light flashes rapidly (indicating successful programming).

inches (26 - 76 mm) away from the HomeLink姞 surface. Hold the transmitter in that position for up to 15 seconds. If HomeLink姞 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 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). REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE HOMELINK姞 BUTTON To reprogram a HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver button, complete the following. 1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink姞 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 1 - 3 inches (26 - 76
mm) away from the HomeLink姞 surface.3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter
button.
4. The HomeLink姞 indicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light begins to flash rapidly, release both buttons.
The HomeLink姞 Universal Transceiver button has now been reprogrammed. The new device can be activated by pushing the HomeLink姞 button that was just programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink姞 buttons. IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN If your vehicle is stolen, you should change the codes of any non-rolling code device that has been programmed into HomeLink姞. Consult the Owner’s Manual of each device or call the manu- facturer or dealer of those devices for additional information. When your vehicle is recovered, you will need to reprogram the HomeLink姞 Univer- sal Transceiver with your new transmitter information.

NISSAN VEHICLE IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM KEYS You can only drive your vehicle using the master or valet keys which are registered to the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System components in your vehicle. These keys have a transponder chip in the key head. The master key can be used for all the locks. The valet key cannot be used for the console box lock. To protect belongings when you leave a key with someone, give them the valet key only. Never leave these keys in the vehicle. Additional or replacement keys: If you still have a key, the key number is not necessary when you need extra NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys. Your dealer can dupli- cate your existing key. As many as five NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys can be used with one vehicle. You should bring all NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System keys that you have to your NISSAN dealer for registration. This is be- cause the registration process will erase the memory of all key codes previously registered into the NISSAN Vehicle Immobilizer System. After the registration process, these components will only recognize keys coded into the NISSAN

DOORS
When the doors are locked using one of the following methods, the doors can not be opened using the inside or outside door handles. The doors must be unlocked to open the doors.
WARNING
● 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 unintentionally open- ing the doors, and will help keep out intruders.
● Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac- tivate switches or controls. Unattended children could become involved in seri- ous accidents.
Driver’s side
LPD0240
LOCKING WITH KEY The power door lock system allows you to lock or unlock all doors at the same time. Turning the key toward the front 䊊1 of the vehicle locks all doors. Turning the key one time toward the rear 䊊2 of the vehicle unlocks that door. From that position, returning the key to neutral 䊊3 (where the key can only be removed and inserted) and turning it toward the rear again within 5 seconds unlocks all doors 䊊4 .
Opening and closing windows The driver’s door key operation allows you to open and close windows equipped with auto- matic operation at the same time. ● To open the windows, turn the driver’s door key toward the rear of the vehicle for longer than 1 second after the door is unlocked. ● To close the windows, turn the driver’s door key to the front of the vehicle for longer than 1 second after the door is locked.
Windows stop when the key cylinder is released.

NISSAN INTELLIGENT KEY™ (if so equipped)
WARNING
CAUTION
● Radio waves could adversely affect electric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electric medical equipment manufac- turer for the possible influences before use.
● The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves when the buttons are pushed. The FAA advises the radio waves may affect aircraft navigation and communi- cation systems. Do not operate the In- telligent Key while on an airplane. Make sure the buttons are not operated unin- tentionally when the unit is stored for a flight.
The Intelligent Key can operate all the door locks using the remote controller 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 operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the Intelligent Key.
● Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
● Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicating with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Intel- ligent Key transmits weak radio waves. Environ- mental conditions may interfere with the opera- tion of the Intelligent Key under the following operating conditions. ● When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such as a TV tower, power station and broadcasting station.
● When in possession of wireless equipment, such as a cellular telephone, transceiver, and 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 com- puter.
3-12 Pre-driving checks and adjustments
● When the vehicle is parked near a parking
meter.
In such cases, correct the operating conditions before using the Intelligent Key function or use the mechanical key.
If
Although the life of the battery varies depending on the operating conditions, the battery’s life is approximately 2 years. the battery is dis- charged, replace it with a new one. When the Intelligent Key battery is low, the Intel- ligent Key indicator will illuminate after the ignition switch is placed in the ON position. Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving radio waves, if the key is left near equipment which transmits strong radio waves, such as sig- nals from a TV and personal computer, the bat- tery life may become shorter. For information regarding replacement of a bat- tery, see “Battery replacement” in the “Mainte- nance and do-it-yourself” section of this manual. Because the steering wheel is locked electrically, unlocking the steering wheel with the ignition switch in the LOCK position is impossible when the vehicle battery is completely discharged. Un- locking the steering wheel is impossible even if the Intelligent Key is inserted into the ignition switch. Pay special attention that the vehicle bat- tery is not completely discharged.

Reverse: The power lift gate will reverse direction immedi- ately during power open or power close if the keyfob, instrument panel or rear pillar switch is pushed or if the outside handle is lifted. A chime will sound to announce the reversal. Auto Reverse: If an obstacle is detected during power open or power close, a warning chime will sound and the lift gate will reverse direction and return to the full open or full close position. If a second obstacle is detected, the lift gate motion will stop and the drive motor will disengage. The lift gate will enter manual mode.
A pinch strip is mounted on each side of the lift gate. If an obstacle is detected by a pinch strip during power close, the lift gate will reverse di- rection and return to the full open position.
NOTE: If the pinch strip is damaged or removed, the power close function will not operate.
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi- ately before the closed position which cannot be detected. Make sure that all passengers have their hands, etc., inside the vehicle before closing the lift gate.
Manual Mode: If power operation is not available, the lift gate may be operated manually. Power operation may not be available if the cancel switch is in the on position, if multiple obstacles have been de- tected in a single power cycle, or if battery volt- age is low.
