HOMELINKT UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped)
The HomeLinkT Universal Transceiver provides a convenient way to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into one built-in device. HomeLinkT Universal Transceiver: c Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF) devices such as garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks and se- curity systems.
c Is powered by your vehicle(cid:146)s battery. No separate batteries are required. If the vehi- cle(cid:146)s battery is discharged or is discon- nected, HomeLinkT will retain all program- ming.
Once the HomeLinkT Universal Transceiver is programmed, retain the original trans- mitter for future programming procedures (Example: new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the programmed HomeLinkT Universal Transceiver buttons should be erased for security purposes. For additional information refer to (cid:147)Program- ming HomeLinkT(cid:148) later in this section.

WARNING
c Do not use the HomeLinkT 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.
c 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.
c Your vehicle(cid:146)s engine should be turned off while programming the HomeLinkT Universal Transceiver.

HomeLinkT buttons (to clear the memory)
until the indicator light s1 blinks (after 20
seconds). Release both buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter 1 - 3 inches (26 - 76 mm) away from the HomeLinkT surface.
WIC0987
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and
hold both the HomeLinkT button you want to
program and the hand-held transmitter but-
ton.
DO NOT release the buttons until step 4 has been completed.
Z REVIEW COPY—2008 Pathfinder (pat) Owners Manual—USA_English (nna) 03/23/07—debbie X
4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on the HomeLinkT flashes, changing from a (cid:147)slow blink(cid:148) to a (cid:147)rapidly flashing blink(cid:148). 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- grammed device, press and hold the pro- grammed HomeLinkT button (cid:151) releasing when the device begins to activate. If the indicator light on the HomeLinkT blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then turns solid, HomeLinkT has picked up a (cid:147)rolling code(cid:148) garage door opener signal. You will need to proceed with the next steps to train the HomeLinkT to complete the programming which may require a ladder and another per- son for convenience.

DOORS
WARNING
c 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.
c Before opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
c 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.
The master key can be used for all the locks.
The valet key cannot be used for the glove 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 Vehicle Immobilizer System during registration. Any key that is not given to your dealer at the time of registration will no longer be able to start your vehicle. Do not allow the immobilizer system key, which contains an electrical transponder, to come into contact with salt water. This could affect system function. 3-4 Pre-driving checks and adjustments

INTELLIGENT KEY SYSTEM (if so equipped)
WARNING
Radio waves could adversely affect elec- tric medical equipment. Those who use a pacemaker should contact the electric medical equipment manufacturer for the possible influences before use.
The Intelligent Key system 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 af- fect the Intelligent Key system operation.
Be sure to read the following before using the Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
c Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
c 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 system transmits weak radio waves. Environmental conditions may interfere with the operation of the Intelligent Key system under the following operating conditions.
c When operating near a location where strong radio waves are transmitted, such as a TV tower, power station and broadcasting station.
c When in possession of wireless equipment, such as a cellular telephone, transceiver, and CB radio.
c When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or
covered by metallic materials.
c When any type of radio wave remote control
is used nearby.
c When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric appliance such as a personal com- puter.
c 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. Although the life of the battery varies depending on the operating conditions, the battery(cid:146)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 system warning light ( ) will blink green for about 30 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the ON position.

CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK
Child safety locks help prevent the rear doors
from being opened accidentally, especially when
small children are in the vehicle.
The child safety lock levers are located on the
edge of the rear doors.
When the lever is in the lock position, the
door can be opened only from the outside.
3-6 Pre-driving checks and adjustments
If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, NISSAN recommends erasing the ID code of that Intelli- gent Key from the vehicle. This may prevent the unauthorized use of the Intelligent Key to operate the vehicle. For information regarding the erasing procedure, contact a NISSAN dealer.
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 (cid:147)Battery(cid:148) in the (cid:147)Maintenance and do-it- yourself(cid:148) section. 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. As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be registered and used with one vehicle. For information about the purchase and use of additional Intelligent Keys, contact a NISSAN dealer.
CAUTION
c 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.
c Do not drop the Intelligent Key. c Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply
against another object.
c Do not change or modify the Intelligent
Key.
c Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If the Intelligent Key gets wet, im- mediately wipe until it is completely dry. c Do not place the Intelligent Key for an extended period in an area where tem- peratures exceed 140(cid:176)F (60(cid:176)C).
c Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a
key holder that contains a magnet.
c Do not place the Intelligent Key near equipment that produces a magnetic field, such as a TV, audio equipment and personal computers.

3. Adjust
the driver(cid:146)s seat, accelerator and brake pedals, and outside mirrors to the desired positions by manually operating each adjusting switch. For additional infor- mation, see (cid:147)Seats(cid:148) in the (cid:147)Safety(cid:151)Seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint sys- tem(cid:148) section and (cid:147)Pedal position adjust- ment(cid:148) and (cid:147)Outside mirrors(cid:148) earlier in this section.
During this step, do not turn the ignition to any position other than ON.
4. Push the SET switch and, within 5 seconds, push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully for at least 1 second.
The indicator light for the pushed memory switch will come on and stay on for approxi- mately 5 seconds after pushing the switch. After the indicator light goes off, the se- lected positions are stored in the selected memory (1 or 2).
If a new memory is stored in the same memory switch, the previous memory will be deleted. Linking a keyfob to a stored memory position Each keyfob can be linked to a stored memory position (memory switch 1 or 2) with the follow- ing procedure. 3-30 Pre-driving checks and adjustments

tion.
2. While the indicator light for the memory switch being set is illuminated for 5 sec- button on the keyfob. onds, press the The indicator light will blink. After the indica- tor light goes off, the keyfob is linked to that memory setting.
With the key removed from the ignition switch, press the button on the keyfob. The driv- er(cid:146)s seat, accelerator and brake pedals, and out- side mirrors will move to the memorized position.
NOTE: If a new memory position is saved to the memory switch, the keyfob automatically re-links. Confirming memory storage c Turn the ignition ON and push the SET switch. If the main memory has not been stored, the indicator light will come on for approximately 0.5 seconds. When the memory has stored the position, the indica- tor light will stay on for approximately 5 sec- onds.
c If the battery cable is disconnected, or if the fuse opens, the memory storage function will be canceled and must be restarted before a
stored memory position can be set again. Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH (40 km/h) to restart the memory storage function. You can also restart the memory storage function using the following procedure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the
fuse.
2. Open and close the driver(cid:146)s door more than two times with the ignition key in the LOCK position. Once the memory storage function has been restarted, you can store a memory position. See (cid:147)Memory storage function(cid:148) earlier in this section.
Selecting the memorized position Set the shift selector lever to the P (Park) posi- tion, then: c Within 45 seconds of opening the driver(cid:146)s door, push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully for at least 1 second, or
c Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and push the memory switch (1 or 2) fully for at least 1 second.
The driver(cid:146)s seat, accelerator and brake pedals, and outside mirrors will move to the memorized position with the indicator light blinking, and then the light will stay on for approximately 5 seconds.

ENTRY/EXIT FUNCTION This system is designed so that the driver(cid:146)s seat will automatically move when the shift selector lever is in the P (Park) position. This allows the driver to get into and out of the driver(cid:146)s seat more easily. The driver(cid:146)s seat will slide backward: c When the key is removed from the ignition
switch and the driver(cid:146)s door is opened.
c When the driver(cid:146)s door is opened with the
ignition key turned to LOCK.
c When the ignition key is turned from ACC to
LOCK with the driver(cid:146)s door open.
The driver(cid:146)s seat will return to the previous posi- tion: c When the key is inserted into the ignition
switch and the driver(cid:146)s door is closed.
c When the driver(cid:146)s door is closed with the key
turned to LOCK.
c When the key is turned from ACC to ON while the shift selector lever is in the P (Park) position.
The entry/exit function can be adjusted or can- celed. For vehicles with navigation system, see (cid:147)Comfort & convenience settings(cid:148) in the (cid:147)Display screen, heater, air conditioner and audio sys-
tems(cid:148) section of this manual. For vehicles without navigation system, see your NISSAN dealer. Restarting the entry/exit function If the battery cable is disconnected or if the fuse opens, the entry/exit function will be disabled. Drive the vehicle over 25 MPH (40 km/h) to restart the entry/exit function. You can also restart the entry/exit function using the following proce- dure.
1. Connect the battery cable or replace the
fuse.
2. Open and close the driver(cid:146)s door more than two times with the ignition key in the LOCK position.
The entry/exit function should now work properly.
SYSTEM OPERATION
The automatic drive positioner system will not
work or will stop operating under the following
conditions:
c When the vehicle speed is above 4 MPH (7
km/h).
c When any of
the memory switches are pushed while the automatic drive positioner is operating.
c When the adjusting switch for the driver(cid:146)s seat is turned on while the automatic drive positioner is operating.
c When the memory switch (1 or 2) is not
pushed and held for at least 1 second.
c When the seat has been already moved to
the memorized position.
c When no seat position is stored in the
memory switch.
c When the shift selector lever is moved from
P (Park) to any other position.
c When the driver(cid:146)s door remains open more than 45 seconds and the ignition switch is not in the ON position.
The automatic drive positioner system can be adjusted and canceled. For vehicles with naviga- tion system, see (cid:147)Comfort & convenience set- tings(cid:148) in the (cid:147)Display screen, heater, air condi- tioner and audio systems(cid:148) section of this manual.
