Emergency Key
Should the battery in the vehicle or the Key Fob transmitter go dead, there is an emergency key
located in the Key Fob.
• To remove the emergency key, slide the button at the back of the Key Fob sideways with yourthumb and then pull the key out with your other hand.
The emergency key is also for locking the glove compartment.
WARNING!
• Never use the PARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or
damage.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the Key Fob from the ignition and lock your
vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever.
• Do not leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children, and
do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.

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.

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.
