ENGINE IMMOBILIZER
Engine Immobilizer Operation
The Engine Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized use of the vehicle by
disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be enabled
or activated. Operation of the
immobilizer is automatic whether the
vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition is set to ON, the Engine
Immobilizer system identifies the code
transmitted by the key. If the code is
recognized as valid, the Engine
Immobilizer system enables engine
starting.
When the ignition is brought back to
STOP, the Engine Immobilizer system
deactivates the control unit controlling
the engine, disabling engine starting.
For the correct engine starting
procedures, refer to “Starting The
Engine” in “Starting And Operating.”
Irregular Operation
If the key code is not recognized during
starting, the Engine Immobilizer
Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is
displayed on the instrument panel (refer
to "Warning Lights And Messages" in
"Getting To Know Your Instrument
Panel"). This condition leads to the engine
turning off after two seconds. In this
case, switch the ignition to STOP and then to ON; if it is still blocked, try with
the other keys provided. If it is still not
possible to start the engine, contact an
authorized dealer.
If the Engine Immobilizer Failure/
Break-in Attempt
icon is displayed
while driving, this means that the system
is running a self-diagnosis (e.g. due to a
voltage drop). If the display persists,
contact an authorized dealer.
Note:
Do not tamper with the Engine
Immobilizer system. Any modifications
or alterations could cause the protection
function to be deactivated.
The Engine Immobilizer system is not
compatible with certain aftermarket
remote starting systems. The use of
these devices could cause problems
when starting, as well as the
deactivation of the protection function.
All keys provided with the vehicle
have been programmed in accordance
with the electronics on the vehicle itself.
Each key has its own code which must
be stored by the system's control unit.
Contact an authorized dealer to have
new keys (up to eight) stored with a
code.

Homelink
Description
Homelink is a fixed system installed on
the vehicle. It can sync up to three
different devices that activate garage
doors, gates, lighting systems, and home
or office alarm systems.
Programming
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run your
vehicle in the garage while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only use
this transceiver with a garage door opener
that has a “stop and reverse” feature as
required by Federal safety standards. This
includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a
garage door opener without these safety
features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,
on the Internet at HomeLink.com for safety
information or assistance.
Note: Without starting the engine,
activate the handbrake and place the
ignition in the ON position. The following operation will delete the
manufacture’s standard codes and does
not need to be repeated during the
subsequent button programming:
Push and hold the outer buttons
(1 and 3). After about ten seconds, the
lighted indicators will start to flash.
Release both buttons.
Note: Follow the steps below to begin
programming your remote control to one
of the HomeLink buttons:
1. Push and hold the desired HomeLink
button (1, 2 or 3). When the HomeLink
indicator begins to flash slowly, move the portable remote control one to three
inches from the HomeLink system
(keeping the programmable button
pushed down).
2. If the indicator does not begin to flash
quickly, change the distance between the
HomeLink and the portable remote
control and try the procedure again.
3. The HomeLink indicator flashes, first
slowly and then quickly. When the
indicator starts to flash quickly, release
both buttons.
Using The Homelink System
The HomeLink system activates the
garage door or gate motor, just like the
portable remote control. The car must be
within the range of the garage door and
the ignition must be in the ON position.
Push the programmed button (1, 2 or 3).
While the signal is being transmitted, the
indicator is lit and the system (garage
door, gate, etc.) will respond.
If the HomeLink system does not
operate, the original portable remote
control may be equipped with an
alternative code (refer to “Alternative
Code Synchronization”).
If necessary, the original remote control
can still be used to operate the system.

Alternative Code Synchronization
To check whether the garage door or gate
motor has an alternative code, proceed
as follows:
1. Read the garage door or gate motor
manufacturer manual.
2. The portable remote control seems to
have programmed to the HomeLink
system, but the garage door or gate can
be neither opened or closed.
3. Push the programmed button and
keep it pushed (1, 2 or 3). With an
alternative code system, the indicator
flashes briefly, and then remains off for
two seconds. This sequence is repeated
for 20 seconds.
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run your
vehicle in the garage while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only use
this transceiver with a garage door opener
that has a “stop and reverse” feature as
required by Federal safety standards. This
includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without these safety
features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,
on the Internet at HomeLink.com for safety
information or assistance.
Note:
To program Homelink using an
Alternative Code, the car must be within
range of the garage door. Activate the
handbrake and turn the ignition to ON,
without starting the engine.
Proceed as follows:
1. Locate the “Learn” or “Train” button on
the garage door or gate motor. The color
and position may vary depending on the
manufacturer (consult the garage door or
gate manual). Push the “Learn” or “Train”
button (this normally activates the
setting warning light).
2. Push the desired HomeLink button
(1, 2 or 3). When the HomeLink indicator
begins to flash slowly, move the portable
remote control one to three inches from
the HomeLink system (keeping the
programmable button pushed down).
3. Within 30 seconds, push the
programmed key (1, 2 or 3) and release it.
Push the programmed button a second
time and release it to conclude the
operation. For some motors, the
operation will probably have to be
repeated a third time to end the setting. The motor should now be capable of
recognizing the signal transmitted by
HomeLink and then open/close the door
or gate.
Programming A Single Key
It is possible to program another
original remote control on an already
programmed HomeLink key by canceling
the previously stored frequency.
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run your
vehicle in the garage while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open and
close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only use
this transceiver with a garage door opener
that has a “stop and reverse” feature as
required by Federal safety standards. This
includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a
garage door opener without these safety
features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,
on the Internet at HomeLink.com for safety
information or assistance.
Note: Activate the handbrake and place
the ignition to ON without starting the
engine.

Page 56 of 260
Proceed as follows:
1. Push the desired HomeLink button
and keep it pushed (1, 2 or 3). Do not
release the button until the last
operation has been performed.
2. When the HomeLink indicator begins
to flash slowly, move the portable remote
control 1 to 3 inches from the system
(keeping the programmable button
pressed down).
If the indicator does not begin to flash
quickly, change the distance between the
HomeLink and the portable remote
control and try the procedure again.
The HomeLink indicator flashes, first
slowly and then quickly. When the
indicator starts to flash quickly, release
both buttons on the remote control.
The system previously programmed to
HomeLink has now been deleted and the
new system is ready to use. This does not
affect the other two HomeLink buttons in
any way.
Deleting Programmed Keys
It is recommended to delete HomeLink
programming before selling the car.
All three keys are deleted simultaneously.
Proceed as follows:
1. Push and hold the outer buttons
(1 and 3). After about ten seconds, the
indicator will start to flash.
2. Release both keys. Technical Information For After Sales

STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting the engine, be sure to
adjust the seat, the interior rear view
mirrors, and the door mirrors, and fasten
the seat belt correctly.
Never press the accelerator pedal before
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the
starting procedure can be shown in the
display.
Warning!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the vehicle and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle
unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously
or fatally injured. Children should be warned
not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the transmission gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.
Starting Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. Apply the electric park brake and set
the gear selector to PARK (P) or
NEUTRAL (N).
2. Fully depress the brake pedal without
touching the accelerator.
3. Briefly push the ignition button.
4. If the engine doesn't start within a
few seconds, you need to repeat the
procedure.
If the problem persists, contact an
authorized dealer.
Warning!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into the throttle body air inlet opening in an
attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result in flash fire causing serious personal
injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your
vehicle to get it started. Vehicles equipped
with an automatic transmission cannot be
started this way. Unburned fuel could enter
the catalytic converter and once the engine
has started, ignite and damage the
converter and vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery,
booster cables may be used to obtain a
start from a booster battery or the battery
in another vehicle. This type of start can be
dangerous if done improperly. Refer to
“Jump Starting” in “In Case Of Emergency”
for further information.
Caution!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
continuously crank the engine for more than
25 seconds at a time. Wait 60 seconds
before trying again.
Remote Starting System
This system uses the key fob to start the
engine conveniently from outside the
vehicle while still maintaining security.
The system has a range of at least
300 feet (91 meters).
The remote starting system also
activates the climate control
(if equipped), the heated seats
(if equipped), and the heated steering
wheel (if equipped), depending on
temperatures outside and inside of
the vehicle.
Note:
Obstructions between the vehicle
and key fob may reduce this range.
