20 seconds until “CHANNELS CLEARED”
appears in the EVIC display.
• Park your vehicle outside of the garage and turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
• Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) from the HomeLink
®buttons while
keeping the EVIC display in view. Simultaneously, press and hold both the chosen
HomeLink
®button and the hand-held transmitter button until the EVIC display changes
from “CHANNEL # TRAINING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.” This may take up to 30 seconds,
or longer, in rare cases.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light
• If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle as possible. Whiledriving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road
conditions. To improve the vehicles traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or
gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESP system off.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• A Tire Pressure Monitoring Light and a “low tire” message will display in your instrumentcluster along with an audible chime if one or more of your vehicle’s four road tires are
significantly under-inflated.
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and
Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening. The TPMS light
should not be used as a tire pressure gauge when adjusting your tire pressure.
• It is recommended that you check the tire pressure in the morning when tires are cool; inflate each tire to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The light will turn off
after your vehicle’s tire pressures are properly inflated and the pressure has been
recognized. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(25 km/h) before the light will turn off.
• Temperature changes can affect tire pressure, causing the TPMS light to turn on. Tire pressures will also increase as the vehicle is driven – this is normal and you should not
adjust for this increased pressure.
• Driving on under-inflated tires reduces your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and tire tread life. If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may turn on.
- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or theparking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock
Brake System problem.
• We recommend you drive to the nearest Service Center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.

WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., mayilluminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally
and not require towing.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend
you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible if this
occurs.
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/Brake Assist
System (BAS) Warning Light
• If the ESP/BAS warning light comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected.
• If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you
drive to the nearest Service Center as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed
and corrected.
- Charging System Light
• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system lightremains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging
system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light
• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop thevehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four minutes
when this light turns on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommendyou drive to the nearest Service Center and have the system serviced as soon as
possible.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle theignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the
PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing
when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience
reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing.
- Airbag Warning Light
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommendyou drive to the nearest Service Center and have the system serviced as soon as
possible.
Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message
• If a “gas cap” message (shown as Check Gascap) appears, tighten the gas cap until a“clicking” sound is heard.
• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the gas cap, see your dealer.
Oil Change Indicator
Message
• If an “oil change” message (shown as Oil Change Required) appears and a single chimesounds, it is time for your next required oil change.
