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.

. To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of the
vehicle and or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others or pets
unattended in your vehicle. Addition-
ally, the temperature inside a closed
vehicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a sig-
nificant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.

The power windows operate when the
ignition switch is in the ON position or for
about 45 seconds after the ignition switch is
pushed to the OFF position. If the driver’s or
front passenger’s door is opened during this
period of about 45 seconds, power to the
windows is canceled.

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 12-volt

battery. No separate batteries are re-
quired. If the vehicle’s 12-volt battery is
d i s c h a r g e d o r i s d i s c o n n e c t e d ,
HomeLink

®

will retain all programming.

When the HomeLink

®

Universal Transceiver

is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(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 “Program-
ming HomeLink

®

” (P.2-60).

WARNING

. 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.

. 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 pro-
gramming.

. Your vehicle’s INFINITI Direct Re-

sponse Hybrid

®

System 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 dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.

ing steps easier. Use a ladder or other
device. Do not stand on your vehicle
to perform the next steps.

4. At the receiver located on the garage

door opener motor in the garage, locate
the “learn” or “smart” button (the name
and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer but it is usually located
near where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the unit). If there is difficulty
locating the button, reference the garage
door opener’s manual.

5. Press and release the “learn” or “smart”

difficulty programming your HomeLink

®

buttons, refer to the HomeLink

®

web

site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-
800-355-3515.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink

®

FOR

CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND
GATE OPENERS

Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission –
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink

®

to pick up the signal during

programming. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to
“time-out” in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the “Program-
ming HomeLink

®

” procedures, replace “Pro-

gramming HomeLink

®

” Step 2 with the

following:

NOTE:

When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible damage to the
garage door opener components.

Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink

®

button and the hand-held transmitter but-
ton. During programming, your hand-held
transmitter may automatically stop trans-
mitting. Continue to press and hold the
desired HomeLink

®

button while you press

and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held trans-

mitter every two seconds until the frequency
signal has been learned. The HomeLink

®

indicator light will flash slowly and then
rapidly after several seconds upon success-
ful programming. DO NOT release until the
HomeLink

®

indicator light flashes slowly and

then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, both buttons may be released. The
rapid flashing indicates successful program-
ming.

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, simply
press and release the appropriate pro-
grammed HomeLink

®

Universal Transceiver

button. The amber indicator light will illumi-
nate while the signal is being transmitted.

For convenience, the hand-held transmitter
of the device may also be used at any time.

Pre-driving checks and adjustments

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 recom-
mended you visit an INFINITI retailer for
duplicates by using the key number. INFINITI
does not record any 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.

INTELLIGENT KEY

Your vehicle can only be driven with the
Intelligent Keys which are registered to your
vehicle’s Intelligent Key system components
and INFINITI Vehicle Immobilizer System
components. As many as 4 Intelligent Keys
can be registered and used with one vehicle.
The new keys must be registered by an
INFINITI retailer prior to use with the
Intelligent Key system and INFINITI Vehicle
Immobilizer System of your vehicle. 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 the
INFINITI retailer.

It is possible that the Intelligent Key func-
tions become canceled. Contact an INFINITI
retailer.

CAUTION

. Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key

with you when driving. The Intelli-
gent Key is a precision device with a
built-in transmitter. To avoid dama-
ging it, please note the following.

— The Intelligent Key is water re-

sistant; however, wetting may
damage the Intelligent Key. If the
Intelligent Key gets wet, immedi-
ately wipe until it is completely
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 temperatures exceed
