Instruments and controls -> HomeLink Universal Transceiver for Your Nissan Qashqai SUV 2020

HomeLink® UNIVERSAL  
TRANSCEIVER (if so equipped)  
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver  
provides a convenient way to consolidate  
the functions of up to three individual  
hand-held transmitters into one built-in  
device.  
CARGO LIGHT  
The cargo lights illuminate when the  
liftgate is opened. When the liftgate is  
closed, the lights will turn off.  
The light will also turn off after a period  
of time when the light remains illumi-  
nated after the ignition switch has been  
pushed to the OFF position to prevent  
the battery from becoming discharged.  
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:  
.
Will operate most Radio Frequency  
(RF) devices such as garage doors,  
gates, home and office lighting, entry  
door locks and security systems.  
Is powered by your vehicle’s battery.  
No separate batteries are required. If  
the vehicle’s battery is discharged or is  
disconnected, HomeLink® will retain  
all programming.  
.
SIC3869  
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-  
ceiver is programmed, retain the origi-  
nal transmitter for future programming  
procedures (Example: new vehicle pur-  
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the  
programmed HomeLink® Universal  
Transceiver buttons should be erased  
for security purposes. For additional  
information, refer to “Programming  
HomeLink®” (P.2-81).  
VANITY MIRROR LIGHT (if so  
equipped)  
The light on the vanity mirror will turn on  
when the cover on the vanity mirror is  
opened.  
When the cover is closed, the light will  
turn off.  
The lights will also turn off after a  
period of time when the lights remain  
illuminated to prevent the battery from  
becoming discharged.  
WARNING

Do not use the HomeLink® Uni-  
versal Transceiver with any gar-  
age door opener that lacks safety

stop and reverse features as re-  
quired by federal safety stan-  
dards. (These standards became  
effective for opener models man-  
ufactured after 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,  
does not meet current federal  
safety standards. Using a garage  
door opener without these fea-  
tures increases the risk of serious  
injury or death.  
During the programming proce-  
dure 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.  
The following steps show generic instruc-  
tions how to program  
a HomeLink®  
button. If you have any questions or are  
having difficulty programming your  
HomeLink® buttons, refer to the  
com/nissan or call 1-800-355-3515.  
NOTE:  
It is also recommended that a new  
battery be placed in the hand-held  
transmitter of the device being pro-  
grammed to HomeLink® for quicker  
programming and accurate transmis-  
sion of the radio-frequency.

in  
HomeLink® indicator light  
flashes  
slowly and then rapidly. When the  
indicator light flashes rapidly, both  
buttons may be released. (The rapid  
flashing indicates successful pro-  
gramming.)  
Your vehicle’s engine should be  
turned off while programming  
the HomeLink® Universal Trans-  
ceiver. Do not breathe exhaust  
gases; they contain colorless  
and odorless carbon monoxide.  
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It  
can cause unconsciousness or  
death.  
NOTE:  
Some devices to be programmed  
may require you to replace Step 2  
with the cycling procedure noted in  
the “Programming HomeLink® for  
Canadian customers and gate open-  
ers” (P.2-82).

4. At the receiver located on the garage  
door opener motor in the garage,  
locate the “learn” or “smart” button  
(the name and color of the button  
may vary by manufacturer but it is  
usually located near where the hang-  
ing antenna wire is attached to the  
unit). If there is difficulty locating the  
button, reference the garage door  
opener’s manual.  
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 de-  
signed 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  
“Programming HomeLink®” procedures,  
replace “Programming HomeLink®” Step  
2 with the following:  
5. Press and release the “learn” or “smart”  
button.  
NOTE:  
Once the button is pressed, you have  
approximately 30 seconds to initiate  
the next step.

3. Press and hold the programmed  
HomeLink® button and observe the  
indicator light.  
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press  
and hold the programmed HomeLink®  
button for two seconds and release.  
Repeat the “press/hold/release” se-  
quence up to 3 times to complete  
the programming process. HomeLink®  
should now activate your rolling code  
equipped device.

opener, etc., unplug the device during  
the “cycling” process to prevent possi-  
ble damage to the garage door opener  
components.  
.
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 following steps easier. Use a  
ladder or other device. Do not stand  
on your vehicle to perform the next  
steps.  
Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously  
press and hold the desired HomeLink®  
button and the hand-held transmitter  
button. During programming, your hand-  
held transmitter may automatically stop  
transmitting. Continue to press and hold  
the desired HomeLink® button while you  
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-

the frequency signal has been learned.  
The HomeLink® indicator light will flash  
slowly and then rapidly after several  
seconds upon successful 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  
programming.

The following procedure clears the pro-  
grammed information from both buttons.  
Individual buttons cannot be cleared.  
However, individual buttons can be re-  
programmed, see “Reprogramming a sin-  
gle HomeLink® button” (P.2-83).  
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn  
the hand-held transmitter information:

with its battery area facing away from  
the HomeLink® surface.  
To clear all programming

.
press and hold both the HomeLink®  
and hand-held transmitter buttons  
without interruption.  
1. Press and hold the two outer  
HomeLink® buttons until the indicator  
light begins to flash in approximately  
10 seconds. Do not hold for longer  
than 20 seconds.  
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®”  
step 3 to complete.  
position the hand-held transmitter 1-3  
in (26-76 mm) away from the  
HomeLink® surface. Hold the transmit-  
ter in that position for up to 15  
seconds. If HomeLink® is not pro-  
grammed within that time, try holding  
the transmitter in another position -  
keeping the indicator light in view at  
all times.  
Remember to plug the device back in  
when programming is completed.  
OPERATING THE HomeLink® UNI-  
VERSAL TRANSCEIVER  
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver,  
after it is programmed, can be used to  
activate the programmed device. To op-  
erate, simply press and release the appro-  
priate programmed HomeLink® Universal  
Transceiver button. The amber indicator  
light will illuminate while the signal is  
being transmitted.  
2. Release both buttons.  
HomeLink® is now in the programming  
mode and can be programmed at any  
time beginning with “Programming  
HomeLink®” - Step 1.  
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE  
HomeLink® BUTTON  
To reprogram a HomeLink® Universal  
Transceiver button, complete the follow-  
ing.  
If you have any questions or are having  
difficulty programming your HomeLink®  
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site
