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.
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 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

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.

TRANSMITTER
WARNING:
During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will

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.

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

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
