Universal Home Remote System
Operation (With Three Round LED)
This vehicle may have the Universal Home RemoteSystem. If there are three round Light Emitting Diode(LED) indicator lights above the Universal Home Remotebuttons, follow the instructions below.
This system provides a way to replace up to three remotecontrol transmitters used to activate devices such asgarage door openers, security systems, and homeautomation devices.
Do not use this system with any garage door openerthat does not have the stop and reverse feature.This includes any garage door opener modelmanufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely before attempting toprogram the transmitter. Because of the steps involved,it may be helpful to have another person assist withprogramming the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitterfor use in other vehicles, as well as, for futureprogramming. Only the original remote controltransmitter is needed for Fixed Code programming. Theprogrammed buttons should be erased when thevehicle is sold or the lease ends. See “Erasing UniversalHome Remote Buttons” later in this section.
Park the vehicle outside of the garage whenprogramming a garage door. Be sure that people andobjects are clear of the garage door or gate that is beingprogrammed.

If this symbol does not appear, or disappears briefly,ACC will not respond to vehicles you may see ahead.
{WARNING:
When the Adaptive Cruise Control radar is blocked
by snow, ice, or dirt, it may not detect a vehicle
ahead. Adaptive Cruise Control may not have time
to slow your vehicle enough to avoid a collision.
Do not use Adaptive Cruise Control when the
radar is blocked by snow, ice, or dirt. Keep your
radar clean. See “Cleaning the System” later in
this section.
ACC automatically slows your vehicle down whenapproaching a slower moving vehicle. It then adjustsyour vehicle speed to follow the vehicle in front atthe selected follow distance. Your vehicle speedincreases or decreases to follow the vehicle in front ofyou, but will not exceed the set speed. It may applylimited braking, if necessary. When braking is active,your brake lights will come on. Braking may feelor sound different than if you were applying the brakesyourself. This is normal.
Stationary or Very Slow-Moving Objects
{WARNING:
Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react
to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other
objects ahead of you. You could crash into an
object ahead of you. Do not use Adaptive Cruise
Control when approaching stationary or
slow-moving vehicles or other objects.
{WARNING:
Adaptive Cruise Control may not detect and react
to stationary or slow-moving vehicles or other
objects ahead of you. Your vehicle may accelerate
toward objects, such as a stopped vehicle that
