Windshield Wiper Operation
Turn to the second detent for low wiper speed and the
third detent for high wiper speed.
Speed Sensitive Intermittent Wiper System
Use the intermittent wiper when weather conditions
make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause be-
tween cycles, desirable. Select the delay interval by
turning the end of the lever. Rotate the knob upward to
decrease the delay time and downward to increase thedelay time. The delay can be regulated from a maximum
of approximately 18 seconds between cycles, to a cycle
every second.
NOTE:The wiper delay times depend on vehicle speed.
If the vehicle is moving less than 10 mph (16 km/h),
delay times will be doubled.
NOTE:If the front wiper is operating when the ignition
is turned off, the wiper will automatically return to the
Parkposition. When the vehicle is restarted, the wipers
will resume operation.
Adding Washer Fluid
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers is located
in the engine compartment and should be checked for
fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with
windshield washer solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and
operate the system for a few seconds to flush out the
residual water. Refer to the appropriate engine diagram
(Section 7 “Maintaining Your Vehicle”) for the location of
the reservoir.

To Accelerate For Passing:
Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the
pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed.
Using Speed Control On Hills
NOTE:
The speed control system maintains speed up
and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills
is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so
it may be preferable to drive without speed control.
GARAGE DOOR OPENER (HomeLink)—IF
EQUIPPED
The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver replaces up to
three remote controls (hand held transmitters) that oper-
ate devices such as garage door openers, motorized
gates, or home lighting. It triggers these devices at the
push of a button. The Universal Transceiver operates off
your vehicle’s battery and charging system; no batteries
are needed.
NOTE:The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver is dis-
abled when the Vehicle Security Alarm is active.For additional information on HomeLink, call 1–800–
355–3515, or on the internet at www.homelink.com.
The three buttons for your garage door opener will be
located in the driver’s sunvisor. The training procedure is
the same regardless of the 3-button location.
Programming The Universal Transceiver
(HomeLink)
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener, it is
advised to park outside the garage and with the engine
off. It is also recommended that you install a new battery

in the hand-held transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed. This will allow for quicker training and accu-
rate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
If your garage door opener (located in the garage) is
equipped with an antenna, make sure that the antenna is
hanging straight down.
1. Erase the factory test codes by pressing the two
outside buttons. Release the buttons when the light in the
Universal Transceiver begins to flash (about 20 seconds).
NOTE:Step 1 above does not have to be followed to
program additional hand held transmitters.

4. The indicator light in the Universal Transceiver will
begin to flash, first slowly and then rapidly. The rapid
flashing indicates successful programming. If after 90
seconds the indicator light does not flash rapidly or goes
out, return to step 1 and repeat the procedure. To train the
other buttons, repeat steps 3 and 4. Be sure to keep your
hand held transmitters in case you need to retrain the
Universal Transceiver.
NOTE:To program the remaining two HomeLink but-
tons, begin withProgrammingStep Two. Do not repeat
Step One.
NOTE:If your garage door opener fails to respond to
the programmed HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver, and
your garage door opener is manufactured after 1995, it
may have a multiple security code system (rolling code
system). If your garage door opener is the “rolling code”
type, please proceed to the heading “Programming A
Rolling Code System.”
Programming A “Rolling Code” System
On garage door openers with the “Rolling Code” feature,
the transmitter code changes after each use to prevent the
copying of your code.
NOTE:The assistance of a second person may make the
following programming procedure quicker and easier.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door motor
head unit. The exact location and color of the button may
vary by garage door opener manufacturer. If you have
difficulty in locating the training button, check your
garage door opener manual, or call 1-800-355-3515 or, on
the Internet, at www.homelink.com.
2. Press and hold the training button on the garage door
opener head unit. This will activate the “training” light.

training process. Some garage door openers may require
you to do this procedure a third time to complete the
training.
Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals totime-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
designed totime-outin the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
programming a gate operator by using theProgram-
mingprocedures (regardless of where you live),replace
Programming HomeLinkStep 3with the following:
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button
while youpress and releaseyour hand-held transmitter
every two secondsuntil the frequency signal is accepted
successfully by HomeLink. The Universal Transceiver
light will flash slowly and then rapidly when the pro-
gramming is successful. Proceed withProgramming
HomeLinkStep 4to complete the procedure.
NOTE:When programming such a garage door opener
or gate, unplug the device to prevent possible damage to
the garage door or gate motor.
Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and release the programmed
HomeLink button. Activation will now occur for the
trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting,
etc.). The light in the display shows that the signal is
being transmitted. For convenience, the hand-held trans-
mitter of the device may also be used at any time.
Erasing HomeLink Buttons
