Infiniti I30 1996 User Manual

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 —from 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; italsoprovidesimportantinstructions and safety information.
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 HomeLink
TM
TRANSMITTER (If so equipped)
The Integrated HomeLinkTMTransmitter pro­vides a convenient way to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into one built-in device.
THE INTEGRATED HomeLink
O will operate garage doors, gates,
home/office lighting systems and security systems by storing and transmitting the programming information of your current hand-held transmitters.
O is built-in and powered by your vehicle’s
battery and charging system. No separate batteries are necessary.
TM
TRANSMITTER:
1-22
WARNING: Donot usethis IntegratedHomeLink
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.
TM
PROGRAMMING THE HomeLink
TM
TRANSMITTER
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.
INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while programming
SII0056
your transmitter. The Integrated HomeLink work with older garage door openers that do not meet current Federal Con­sumer Safety Standards.
1. Test the Integrated HomeLinkTMTransmit­ter 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 HomeLink 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

Transmitter buttons you want
to program.
4. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter against the bottom surface of the Inte­grated HomeLink
TM
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 HomeLink
TM
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 HomeLink
TM
Transmitter in-
stead 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 HomeLink Transmitter button. The indicator light on the Integrated HomeLink
TM
Transmitter should
TM
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 HomeLink
TM
Trans-
mitter. The red indicator light illuminates while the signal is being transmitted. The effective transmission range of the Integrated HomeLink
TM
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.
O Make sure batteries in the hand-held
transmitter are fully charged.
O Hold the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the Integrated HomeLink still see the red indicator light.
O Hold buttons for duration of the program-
ming without interruption.
O Rotate your hand-held transmitter end-
over-end and program again. For best

results, place the end opposite the battery compartment against the Integrated HomeLink
TM
Transmitter when program-
ming.
CLEARING THE PROGRAM­MING INFORMATION
To clear the Integrated HomeLinkTMTransmit­ter 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 HomeLink Transmitter as soon as possible. Consult the
TM
owners manual of each device, or call the manufacturer or dealer of those devices.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will have to reprogram the Integrated HomeLink transmitter information.
