3515.

NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter of
t h e d e v i c e b e i n g p r o g r a m m e d t o
HomeLink

for quicker programming and

accurate transmission of the radio-fre-
quency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held

button

and handheld transmitter button. DO
NOT release until the HomeLink

indi-

cator light

flashes slowly and then

rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, both buttons may be released.
(The rapid flashing indicates successful
programming.)

NOTE:
Some devices to be programmed may
require you to replace Step 2 with the

released.

If the indicator light

blinks rapidly

for two seconds and then turns to a
solid/continuous light, continue with
Steps 4-6 for a rolling code device. A
second person may make the follow-
ing steps easier. Use a ladder or other
device. Do not stand on your vehicle
to perform the next steps.

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

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 unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help
keep out intruders.

. Before opening any door, always look

for and avoid oncoming traffic.

. 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.
