Using HomeLink®
To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink®button. Activation will
now occur for the programmed device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held trans-
mitter of the device may also be used at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming
the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled
and can cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.
POWER INVERTER
• There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt powerinverter outlet located on the back of
the center console. This outlet can
power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with
built-in overload protection. If the power
rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power
inverter will automatically shut down.
Once the electrical device has been re-
moved from the outlet, the inverter should
automatically reset. If the power rating
exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the
power inverter may have to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the
device and plug it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on
electrical devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
