The Integrated HomeLink Transmitter pro-vides a convenient way
to consolidate thefunctions of up to three individual
hand-heldtransmitters into one built-in device.
THE INTEGRATED HomeLinkTRANSMITTER:I will operate garage doors,
gates, home/
office lighting systems and security sys-tems by storing and
transmitting the pro-gramming information of your current hand-held
transmitters.
I is built-in and powered by your vehiclesbattery and charging
system. No separatebatteries are necessary.
Do not use this Integrated HomeLinkTransmitter with any garage
dooropener that lacks safety stop and re-verse features as required
by federalsafety standards (these standards be-came effective for
models manufacturedafter April 1, 1982). A garage dooropener which
cannot detect an objectin the path of a closing garage door andthen
automatically stop and reverse thedoor, does not meet current

safety standards. Using a garage dooropener without these
features increasesthe risk of serious injury or death.
PROGRAMMING THE HomeLinkTRANSMITTER
During the programming procedureyour garage door or security
gate willopen and close (if the transmitter iswithin range). Make
sure that people orobjects are clear of the garage door,gate, etc.
that you are programming.Your vehicles engine should be turnedoff
while programming your transmitter.
The Integrated HomeLink Transmittermay not work with older
garage dooropeners that do not meet current Fed-eral Consumer
Safety Standards.
1. Test the Integrated HomeLink Transmitterby pressing any
button. The red indicatorlight should come on. If you have
previouslyprogrammed a button proceed to step 3.
2. Clear all channels on the IntegratedHomeLink Transmitter by
holding downboth outside buttons (#1 & #3) until the redlight
begins to flash rapidly (approximately20 seconds). Then release
both buttons.
3. Select which of the three IntegratedHomeLink Transmitter
buttons you want toprogram.
4. Hold your hand-held transmitter against thebottom surface of
the IntegratedHomeLink Transmitter so that you can stillsee the red
indicator light.
5. Press the desired button until the red indi-cator light
flashes slowly. Do not releasethe button. Continue holding and
press thehand-held transmitter button through step6.
6. Hold down both buttons until the red indi-cator light on the
Integrated HomeLink
SIC0602
1-32
Z 01.2.1/R50-D X
-
Transmitter flashes rapidly (This may take 1to 90 seconds). Then
release both buttons.The rapid flashing means that the transmit-ter
has been successfully programmed tomatch your hand-held
transmitter. You cannow use the Integrated HomeLink Trans-mitter
instead of your hand-held transmitter.
Note to Canadian users:Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations
requiredmany hand-held transmitters to stop transmit-ting after one
or two seconds, even though youcontinue to hold down the button. If
you thinkyou have one of these hand-held transmitters,you should
press and re-press the transmitterbutton every 2 seconds without
ever releasingthe integrated HomeLink Transmitter button.The
indicator light on the IntegratedHomeLink Transmitter should blink
rapidlyindicating a successful programming proce-dure. If it
returns to the slow blink of programmode, continue to periodically
reactivate yourhand-held transmitter until a successful
pro-gramming procedure is indicated by the rapidlyflashing
indicator light.
OPERATING THE TRANSMITTERTo operate, simply press the
appropriate but-ton on the Integrated HomeLink Transmitter.The red
indicator light illuminates while thesignal is being transmitted.
The effective trans-mission range of the Integrated
HomeLinkTransmitter may differ from your hand-heldtransmitter.
PROGRAMMING PROBLEMDIAGNOSISBe sure to keep your original
hand-held trans-mitter for possible reprogramming if neces-sary.I
Make sure batteries in the hand-held trans-
mitter are fully charged.I Hold your hand-held transmitter
against the
bottom surface of the IntegratedHomeLink Transmitter so that you
can stillsee the red indicator light.
I Hold buttons for duration of the program-ming without
interruption.
I Rotate your hand-held transmitter end-over-end and program
again. For best re-sults, place the end opposite the
batterycompartment against the IntegratedHomeLink Transmitter when
program-ming.

ROLLING CODES (If so equipped)If your hand held transmitter
appears to train tothe HomeLink Transmitter, but does not openyour
garage door, and your garage dooropener was manufactured after
1995, yourgarage door opener may have a Code Pro-tected or Rolling
Code feature. This type ofsystem will change the code of your
garagedoor opener every time you open or close yourgarage door.To
determine if you have one of these sys-tems, depress the button on
the HomeLinkTransmitter that you have just programmed. Ifthe LED on
the HomeLink Transmitter
flashes rapidly for 1 to 2 seconds, then re-mains on, your
garage door opener has arolling code system.To operate your Rolling
Code garage dooropener from your HomeLink Transmitter, fol-low
these steps:1. Program your hand held transmitter to the
HomeLink Transmitter by following theprocedures outlined above
(if not yet pro-grammed).
2. Program your garage door opener receiverto recognize your
HomeLink Transmitter(The HomeLink Transmitter follows thesame
procedure to train to the receiver asyour hand held transmitter did
when it wasfirst installed):a) Remove the cover panel from your
ga-
rage door opener receiver. The receivershould be located by the
garage dooropener motor.
b) Locate the training button on the garagedoor opener receiver.
The exact locationand color of the button may vary bygarage door
opener brand. If you havedifficulty locating the training button,
ref-erence your garage door openermanual. If you have difficulty
program-ming your garage door opener equipped
with a rolling code system to recognizethe HomeLink Transmitter
with theRolling Code feature, call NISSANConsumer Affairs
Department.
c) Press the training button on the garagedoor opener receiver
for 1 to 2 seconds.
d) Return to the HomeLink Transmitter inthe vehicle, and depress
the pro-grammed HomeLink button for the du-ration of the fast blink
on the HomeLinkTransmitter (1 to 2 seconds). Releasethe button, and
re-press to confirm thatthe system has trained.
e) Your garage door opener should nowrecognize your HomeLink
Transmitter.You may use either your HomeLinkTransmitter or your
original hand heldtransmitter to open your garage door.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMINGINFORMATIONShould you sell your vehicle,
be sure to clearthe channels of the Integrated HomeLinkTransmitter.
To clear the channels, simulta-neously hold down the outside two
buttons (#1& #3) until the red indicator light begins to
flashrapidly (approximately 20 seconds). This willclear all three
buttons. Individual buttons can-not be cleared, but can be

This Supplemental Restraint System sectioncontains important
information concerning thedriver and passenger supplemental air
bags.The Supplemental Restraint System Air Bagcan help reduce
impact force to the driver andto the front passenger in certain
frontal colli-sions. The supplemental air bags are designedto
supplement the crash protection providedby the driver and passenger
seat belts and arenot a substitute for them. The seat beltsshould
always be correctly worn and the driverand front passenger seated a
suitable distanceaway from the steering wheel and instrumentpanel.
(See Seat belts for instructions andprecautions on seat belt
usage.)After turning the ignition key to the ONposition, the
supplemental air bag warninglight illuminates. The supplemental air
bagwarning light will turn off after about 7seconds if the system
is operational. I The supplemental air bags ordinarily
will not inflate in the event of a sideimpact, rear impact, roll
over, orlower severity frontal collision. Al-ways wear your seat
belts to helpreduce the risk or severity of injury invarious kinds
of accidents.
I The seat belts and the supplementalair bags are most effective
when you
are sitting back and upright in theseat. Supplemental air bags
inflatewith great force. If you are unre-strained, leaning forward,
sittingsideways or out of position in anyway, you are at greater
risk of injuryor death in a crash and may alsoreceive serious or
fatal injuries fromthe supplemental air bag if you are upagainst it
when it inflates. Always sitback against the seatback and as

Supplemental air bag systemThe driver supplemental air bag is
located inthe center of the steering wheel; the frontpassenger
supplemental air bag is mounted inthe dashboard above the glove
box. Thesupplemental air bag system is designed toinflate in higher
severity frontal collisions, al-though it may inflate if the forces
in anothertype of collision are similar to those of a
higherseverity frontal impact. It may not inflate incertain frontal
collisions. Vehicle damage (orlack of it) is not always an
indication of propersupplemental air bag operation.When the
supplemental air bag inflates, a fairly
loud noise may be heard, followed by releaseof smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and doesnot indicate a fire, but care should be
taken notto inhale it, as it may cause irritation andchoking. Those
with a history of breathingtrouble should get fresh air
promptly.Supplemental air bags, along with the use ofseat belts,
help to cushion the impact force onthe face and chest of the
occupant. They canhelp save lives and reduce serious
injuries.However, an inflating supplemental air bagmay cause facial
abrasions or other injuries.Supplemental air bags do not provide
restraintto the lower body.
The seat belts should be correctly worn andthe driver and
passenger seated upright as faras practical away from the steering
wheel ordashboard. Since the supplemental air baginflates quickly
in order to help protect theoccupant, the force of the supplemental
airbag inflating can increase the risk of injury ifthe occupant is
too close to or is against thesupplemental air bag module during
inflation.The supplemental air bag will deflate quicklyafter a
collision.After turning the ignition key to the ONposition, the
supplemental air bag warninglight illuminates. The supplemental air
bagwarning light will turn off after about 7seconds if the system
is operational.
I Do not attach any objects to thesteering wheel pad and to the
instru-ment panel. Also, do not place anyobjects between any
occupant andthe steering wheel or instrumentpanel. Such objects may
becomedangerous projectiles and cause in-jury if the supplemental
air bag in-flates.

I Right after inflation, several supple-mental air bag system
componentswill be hot. Do not touch them; youmay severely burn
yourself.
I No unauthorized changes should bemade to any components or
wiring ofthe supplemental air bag system.This is to prevent
accidental inflationof the supplemental air bag or dam-age to the
supplemental air bag sys-tem.
I Do not make unauthorized changesto your vehicles electrical
system,suspension system or front endstructure. This could affect
properoperation of the supplemental air bagsystem.
I Tampering with the supplemental airbag system may result in
seriouspersonal injury. Tampering includeschanges to the steering
wheel andthe instrument panel assembly byplacing material over the
steeringwheel pad and above the dashboard,or by installing
additional trim mate-rial around the supplemental air
bagsystem.
I Work around and on the supplemen-tal air bag system should be
done byan authorized NISSAN dealer. Instal-lation of electrical
equipment shouldalso be done by an authorizedNISSAN dealer. The SRS
wiring har-nesses* should not be modified ordisconnected.
Unauthorized electri-cal test equipment and probing de-vices should
not be used on thesupplemental air bag system.

Repair and replacement procedureThe supplemental air bag system
is designedto inflate on a one-time-only basis. As a re-minder,
unless it is damaged, the supplemen-tal air bag light will remain
illuminated afterinflation has occurred. Repair and replace-
ment of the supplemental air bag systemshould be done only by
authorized NISSANdealers.To ensure long-term functioning, the
sys-tem must be inspected 10 years after thedate of manufacture
noted on the certifica-tion label located on the driver side
centerpillar.When maintenance work is required on thevehicle, the
supplemental air bag system andrelated parts should be pointed out
to theperson conducting the maintenance. The igni-tion key should
always be in the LOCKposition when working under the hood or
in-side the vehicle.
I Once the supplemental air bag hasinflated, the supplemental
air bagmodule will not function again andmust be replaced. The
supplementalair bag module should be replaced byan authorized
NISSAN dealer. Thesupplemental air bag module cannotbe
repaired.
I The supplemental air bag systemshould be inspected by an
authorized
NISSAN dealer if there is any damageto the front end portion of
the vehicle.
I If you need to dispose of a supple-mental air bag or scrap the

PRECAUTIONS ON SEAT BELTUSAGEYour chances of being injured or
killed in anaccident and/or the severity of injury may begreatly
reduced if you are wearing your seatbelt and it is properly
adjusted. NISSANstrongly encourages you and all of your pas-sengers
to buckle up every time you drive,even if your seating position
includes a supple-mental air bag.Some states, provinces or
territories re-quire that seat belts be worn at all timeswhen a
vehicle is being driven.

-
I Every person who drives or rides inthis vehicle should use a
seat belt atall times. Children should be properlyrestrained and,
if appropriate, in achild restraint.
I The belt should be properly adjustedto a snug fit. Failure to
do so mayreduce the effectiveness of the entirerestraint system and
increase thechance or severity of injury in anaccident. Serious
injury or death canoccur if the seat belt is not wornproperly.
I Always route the shoulder belt overyour shoulder and across
your chest.Never run the belt behind your back,under your arm or
across your neck.The belt should be away from yourface and neck,
but not falling off yourshoulder.
I Position the lap belt as low and snugas possible AROUND THE
HIPS, NOTTHE WAIST. A lap belt worn too highcould increase the risk
of internal
injuries in an accident.I Be sure the seat belt tongue is
se-
curely fastened to the proper buckle.I Do not wear the belt
inside out or
twisted. Doing so may reduce its ef-fectiveness.
I Do not allow more than one person touse the same belt.
I Never carry more people in the ve-hicle than there are seat
belts.
I If the seat belt warning lamp glowscontinuously while the
ignition isturned ON with all doors closedand all seat belts
fastened, it mayindicate a malfunction in the system.Have the
system checked by yourNISSAN dealer.
I All seat belt assemblies including re-tractors and attaching
hardwareshould be inspected by your NISSANdealer after any
collision. NISSANrecommends that all seat belt assem-blies in use
during a collision bereplaced unless the collision was mi-nor and
the belts show no damage
and continue to operate properly.Seat belt assemblies not in use
dur-ing a collision should also be in-spected and replaced if
either dam-age or improper operation is noted.
CHILD SAFETYChildren need adults to help protect them.
Infants and children need special pro-tection. The vehicles seat
belts may notfit them properly. The shoulder belt maycome too close
to the face or neck. Thelap belt may not fit over their small
hipbones. In an accident, an improperlyfitting seat belt could
cause serious orfatal injury. Always use appropriatechild
restraints.
All U.S. states and provinces of Canada re-quire the use of
approved child restraints forinfants and small children. (See Child
re-straints for infants and small children later inthis section.)In
addition, there are many types of child
2-28
Z 01.2.1/R50-D X
-
restraints available for larger children whichshould be used for
maximum protection.
Infant or small childNISSAN recommends that infants or
smallchildren be placed in child restraints that com-ply with
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-dards or Canadian Motor Vehicle
Safety Stan-dards. You should choose a child restraint thatfits
your vehicle and always follow the manu-facturers instructions for
installation and use.
ChildrenChildren who are too large for child restraintsshould be
seated and restrained by the seatbelts which are provided.NISSAN
recommends that children sit in therear seat if possible. According
to accidentstatistics, children are safer when properlyrestrained
in the rear seat than in the frontseat.
If the childs seating position has a shoulderbelt that fits
close to the face or neck, the useof a booster seat (commercially
available) mayhelp overcome this. The booster seat shouldraise the
child so that the shoulder belt isproperly positioned across the
top, middleportion of the shoulder and the lap belt is lowon the
hips. The booster seat should fit the
vehicle seat and have a label certifying that itcomplies with
Federal Motor Vehicle SafetyStandards or Canadian Motor Vehicle
SafetyStandards. Once the child has grown so theshoulder belt is no
longer on or near the faceand neck, use the shoulder belt without
thebooster seat.
Never let a child stand or kneel on anyseat and do not allow a
child in the cargoareas while the vehicle is moving. Thechild could
be seriously injured or killedin an accident.
Pregnant womenNISSAN recommends that pregnant womenuse seat
belts. Contact your doctor for specificrecommendations. The lap
belt should beworn snug and positioned as low as possiblearound the
hips, not the waist.
Injured personsNISSAN recommends that injured personsuse seat
belts, depending on the injury. Checkwith your doctor for specific
recommendations.
