CAUTION
• Do not use the bottle holder for any other objects that could be thrown
about in the vehicle and possibly in-
jure people during sudden braking
or an accident.
• Do not use the bottle holder for open liquid containers.
TONNEAU COVER (IF SO
EQUIPPED)
WARNING
• Never put anything on the tonneau cover, no matter how small. Any ob-
ject on it could cause an injury in an
accident or sudden stop.
• Do not leave the tonneau cover in the vehicle with it disengaged from
the holder.
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps to help prevent it from slid-
ing or shif ting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In a sud-
den stop or collision, unsecured
cargo could cause personal injury. • Properly secure cargo and do not al-
low it to contact the top tether strap
when it is attached to the top tether
anchor. Cargo that is not properly
secured or cargo that contacts the
top tether strap may damage the
top tether strap during a collision. If
the cargo cover contacts the top
tether strap when it is attached to
the top tether anchor, remove the
cargo cover from the vehicle or se-
cure it on the cargo floor below its
attachment location. If the cargo
cover is not removed, it may damage
the top tether strap during a colli-
sion. Your child could be seriously in-
jured or killed in a collision if the
child restraint top tether strap is
damaged.
The tonneau cover keeps the luggage
compartment contents hidden from the
outside. To remove the tonneau cover:
1. Remove the straps from the rear hatch.
2. Pull up the tonneau cover.
3. Remove the tonneau cover holders
from the rear pillar.
Instruments and controls2-69

4. Slide down the tonneau cover along therear seat back.
5. Remove the tonneau cover by pulling either the lef t or right side backward
away from the pillar.
STOWING GOLF BAGS
Normally, two standard golf bags can be
stowed in the cargo area. Insert the top of
the golf bag into the right side of the cargo
area
1then rotate the bag backward2.
Insert the top of the second golf bag into
right side of the cargo area
3and stow the
bottom of golf bag forward all the way
4.
In some cases, you may not be able to stow
two golf bags in your vehicle, depending on
their sizes or types.
POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
• Make sure that all passengers have their hands, etc. inside the vehicle
while it is in motion and before clos-
ing the windows. Use the window
lock switch to prevent unexpected
use of the power windows.
• To help avoid risk of injury or death through unintended operation of
the vehicle or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not
leave children, people who require
the assistance of others, or pets un-
attended in your vehicle. Addition-
ally, the temperature inside a closed
vehicle on a warm day can quickly
become high enough to cause a sig-
nificant risk of injury or death to
people and pets.

CARGO LIGHT
The light illuminates when the rear hatch is
opened. When the rear hatch is closed, the

refer to “Exterior and interior lights” in the
“Maintenance and do-it-yourself ” section
of this manual. The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.
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 the vehicle’s 12-volt battery. No separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s 12-volt battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.
Once the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming pro-
cedures (for example, new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver buttons should be erased for secu-
rity purposes. For additional information,
refer to “Programming HomeLink®” in this
section.
WARNING
• Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards
became effective for opener models
manufactured af ter April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener that cannot de-
tect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically
stop and reverse, does not meet cur-
rent federal safety standards. Using
a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
• During the programming procedure, your garage door or security gate
will open or close (if the transmitter
is within range). Make sure that
people or objects are clear of the ga-
rage door, gate, etc. that you are pro-
gramming.
• Place the power switch in the ACC or ON position while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
Place the power switch in the ACC position
when programming HomeLink®. It is also
recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device being programmed to HomeLink®
for quicker programming and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency.
1. Position the end of your hand-heldtransmitter 1–3 inches (2–8 cm) away
from the HomeLink® surface, keeping
the HomeLink® indicator light
1in view.
2. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold the desired HomeLink® button
and handheld transmitter button. DO
NOT release until the HomeLink® indi-
cator light
1flashes slowly and then
rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, both buttons may be released.
(The rapid flashing indicates successful
programming.)
NOTE:
Some devices may require you to re-
place Step 2 with the cycling proce-
dure noted in the “Programming
HomeLink® for Canadian customers
and gate openers” section.
2-76Instruments and controls

3. Press and hold the programmedHomeLink® button and observe the indi-
cator light.
• If the indicator light
1is solid/
continuous, programming is com-
plete and your device should activate
when the HomeLink® button is pressed
and released.
• If the indicator light
1blinks 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. Please use a ladder or
other device. Do not stand on your ve-
hicle to perform the next steps.
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 hanging antenna wire is
attached to the unit). If there is difficulty
locating the button, reference the ga-
rage door opener’s manual.
5. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained HomeLink® button
for two seconds and release. Repeat the
“press/hold/release” sequence up to
three times to complete the training
process. HomeLink® should now acti-
vate your rolling code equipped device.
7.If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
af ter several seconds of transmission –
which may not be long enough for
HomeLink® to pick up the signal during
training. Similar to this Canadian law, some
U.S. gate operators are designed to “tim-
eout” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-
culties training a gate operator or garage
door opener by using the “Training” proce-
dures, replace “Programming HomeLink®”
Step 2 with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door
opener, etc., unplug the device during
the “cycling” process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener
components.
1. Refer to “Programming HomeLink®”
step 1 in this section.
