FOREWORD

Your INFINITI represents a new way of thinking about car design. It integrates advanced engineering and superior craftsmanship with a simple, refined aesthetic sensitivity associated with traditional Japanese culture.

The result is a different notion of luxury and beauty. The car itself is important, but so also is the sense of harmony that the car evokes in its driver, and the sense of satisfaction you feel with the INFINITI Ðfrom the way it looks and drives to the high level of dealer service.

To ensure that you enjoy your INFINITI to the fullest, we encourage you to read this Owner's Manual immediately. It explains all of the features, controls and performance characteristics of your INFINITI; it also provides important instructions and safety information.

A separate Warranty booklet is to be found in your Owner's Literature Portfolio. Always carry it with you when you take your INFINITI to an authorized dealer. The portfolio contents provide complete information about all warranties covering this vehicle, the periodic maintenance required to keep the warranties in effect as well as the INFINITI roadside assistance program.

INFINITI is dedicated to providing a satisfying ownership experience for as long as you own your

car. Should you have any questions regarding your INFINITI or your INFINITI dealer, please contact our Consumer Affairs department at 1-800-662-6200. In Hawaii 808-531-0231. Thank you.

INTEGRATED HomeLinkTM TRANSMITTER

(If so equipped)

The Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter provides a convenient way to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into one built-in device.

THE INTEGRATED

HomeLinkTM TRANSMITTER:

Owill operate garage doors, gates, home/office lighting systems and security systems by storing and transmitting the programming information of your current hand-held transmitters.

Ois built-in and powered by your vehicle's battery and charging system. No separate batteries are necessary.

WARNING:

Do not use this Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by federal safety standards (these standards became effective for models manufactured on April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot ``detect'' an object in the path of a closing garage door and then automatically stop and reverse the door, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death.

1-22

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

PROGRAMMING THE

HomeLinkTM TRANSMITTER

SII0056

WARNING:

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 your transmitter. The Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter may not work with older garage door openers that do not meet current Federal Consumer Safety Standards.

1.Test the Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter by pressing any button. The red indicator light should come on. If you have previously programmed a button proceed to step 3.

2.Clear all channels on the Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter by holding down both outside buttons (#1 & #3) until the red light begins to flash rapidly (approximately 20 seconds). Then release both buttons.

3.Select which of the three Integrated

HomeLinkTM Transmitter buttons you want to program.

4.Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter against the bottom surface of the Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter so that you can still see the red indicator light.

5.Press the desired button until the red indicator light flashes slowly. Do not release the button. Continue holding and press the hand-held transmitter button through step 6.

6.Hold down both buttons until the red indicator light on the Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter flashes rapidly (This may take 10-90 seconds). Then release both buttons. The rapid flashing means that the transmitter has been successfully programmed to match your hand-held transmitter. You can now use the Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter instead of your hand-held transmitter.

1-23

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

Note to Canadian users:

Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required many hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting after one or two seconds, even though you continue to hold down the button. If you think you have one of these hand-held transmitters, you should press and re-press the transmitter button every 2 seconds without ever releasing the integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter button. The indicator light on the Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter should blink rapidly indicating a successful programming procedure. If it returns to the slow blink of program mode, continue to periodically reactivate your hand-held transmitter until a successful programming procedure is indicated by the rapidly flashing indicator light.

OPERATING THE TRANSMITTER

To operate, simply press the appropriate button on the Integrated HomeLinkTM Trans-

mitter. The red indicator light illuminates while the signal is being transmitted. The effective transmission range of the Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter may differ from your hand-held transmitter.

PROGRAMMING PROBLEM DIAGNOSIS

Be sure to keep your original hand-held transmitter for possible reprogramming if necessary.

OMake sure batteries in the hand-held transmitter are fully charged.

OHold the hand-held transmitter against the

bottom surface of the Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter so that you can still see the red indicator light.

OHold buttons for duration of the programming without interruption.

ORotate your hand-held transmitter end- over-end and program again. For best

results, place the end opposite the battery compartment against the Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter when programming.

CLEARING THE PROGRAMMING INFORMATION

To clear the Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter of all previous programming information, simultaneously hold down the outside two buttons (#1 & #3) until the red indicator light begins to flash rapidly (approximately 20 seconds). This will clear all three buttons. Individual buttons cannot be cleared, but can be reprogrammed at any time by following the programming procedures described above.

IF YOUR VEHICLE IS EVER STOLEN

If your vehicle has been stolen, you should change the codes of any device that was programmed into the Integrated HomeLinkTM Transmitter as soon as possible. Consult the

1-24

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS

owners manual of each device, or call the manufacturer or dealer of those devices.
