Before You Begin Programming HomeLink®
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage before you begin programming.
For efficient programming and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal, it is recom-
mended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device that is being
programmed to the HomeLink® system.
Erase all channels before you begin programming. To erase the channels, place the ignition switch
into the ON/RUN position, then press and hold the two outside HomeLink® buttons (I and III) for
up to 20 seconds or until the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink® for the first time.
Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the
Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. These Garage
Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the hanging
antenna is attached to the Garage Door Opener. It is NOT the button that is normally used to
open and close the door. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wishto program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and the hand-held transmitter button.
4.
Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink® indicator will
flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the frequency signal from the
hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
5. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage
door opener motor. Firmly press and release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button.
NOTE:
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the LEARN button has been pressed.
6.
Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLink® button twice (holding the button for
two seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is complete.
NOTE:
If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete the
training.
7. To program the remaining two HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

Programming A Non-Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button youwish to program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and the hand-held transmitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink® indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the frequency signal from the
hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to
rapid.
5. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door (or device)
should activate when the HomeLink® button is pressed.
6. To program the two remaining HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
Using HomeLink®
• To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Activation will now occurfor the programmed device (e.g., garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry
door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter 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 OUTLETS
• There are three 12 Volt electrical outlets onthis vehicle.
• The front 12 Volt power outlet has power available only when the ignition is placed in
the ACC or RUN position.
•
The center console outlet is powered directly
from the battery (power available at all times).
Items plugged into this outlet may discharge
the battery and/or prevent the engine from

AUTOSTICK®
Steering Wheel Mounted Paddle Shifters Or Console Mounted Shifter
• AutoStick® is a driver-interactive transmis-sion feature that offers manual gear shifting
to provide you with more control of the
vehicle. AutoStick® allows you to maximize
engine braking, and improve overall vehicle
performance.
• This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold
slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer
towing, and many other situations.
Operation
• When the shift lever is in the DRIVE posi-tion, the transmission will operate automati-
cally, shifting between the five available
gears. To engage AutoStick®, simply move
the shift lever to the right or left (+/-) while in the DRIVE position, or press one of the steering
wheel mounted shift paddles (+/-). When AutoStick® is active, the current transmission gear is
displayed in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the instrument
cluster. In AutoStick® mode, the transmission will shift when manually selected by the driver
(using the shift lever, or the shift paddles), unless an engine lugging or overspeed condition
would result. It will remain in the selected gear until another upshift or downshift is chosen,
except as described below:• The transmission will automatically downshift as the vehicle slows (to prevent engine
lugging) and will display the current gear.
• The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop.
• You can start out in first or second gear. Tapping (+) (at a stop) will allow starting in second gear. Starting out in second gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
• The system will ignore attempts to upshift at too low of a vehicle speed.
• Transmission shifting will be more noticeable when AutoStick® is engaged. To disengage AutoStick® mode, hold the shift lever to the right or press and hold the (+) shift paddle
until “D” is once again displayed in the instrument cluster. You can shift in or out of the
AutoStick® mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL DAMPING SYSTEM
• This vehicle may be equipped with an electronic controlled damping system. This systemreduces body roll and pitch in many driving situations including cornering, acceleration and
braking. There are three modes of operation:
Automatic (Auto) Mode
• This is the default position when vehicleignition is first turned on. This mode will give
a sporty, but comfortable ride. Within this
mode, the suspension will adapt to the
vehicle inputs, including vehicle speed,
steering inputs, braking, and acceleration.
•
If AutoStick® is engaged while in “Auto”
mode, the transmission will automatically shift
up if maximum engine speed is reached.
• Heavily pressing the accelerator pedal may generate an automatic downshift for im-
proved acceleration.
• This mode should be used for most driving situations.
SPORTSport Mode
• This mode is driver selectable when the vehicle is placed in SPORT mode (press the
CONTROLS button and then the SPORT
button on the display screen). This mode will
set suspension for maximum performance
handling and is intended for spirited driving.
• When SPORT mode is enabled, a flag willlight up in the instrument cluster.
NOTE:
The SPORT setting will provide a firmer ride.
TrackMode
• In track mode, the transmission has a sportier, more aggressive shift pattern.
• This mode includes SPORT Suspension and affects transmission shifting in either
normal DRIVE or AutoStick® mode.
• If AutoStick® (console shifter or paddle shifters) is engaged while in “Track” mode,
the transmission will remain in the selected
gear even when maximum engine speed is
reached. Engine overspeed protection is
achieved through fuel cut off at or near red-
line.
