UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER
(HomeLink®)
HomeLink® replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices such as garage door
openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security systems. The HomeLink® unit is powered by
your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
The HomeLink® buttons that are located in the overhead console or sunvisor designate the three
different HomeLink® channels.
The HomeLink® indicator is located above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming
HomeLink®
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of
the garage before you begin programming.
For efficient programming and accurate trans-
mission of the radio-frequency signal, it is rec-
ommended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held transmitter of the device that is be-
ing programmed to the HomeLink® system.
To erase the channels, place the ignition switch
into the ON/RUN position, then push and hold
the two outside HomeLink® buttons (I and III)
for up to 20 seconds or until the red indicator
flashes.HomeLink® Buttons

NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink® for the first time.
Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.

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 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you
wish to program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink® button you want to program while you push and hold 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 push and release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button.
NOTE:

6. Return to the vehicle and push 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, push 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 you
wish to program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink® button you want to program while you push and hold 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. Push 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 pushed.
6. To program the two remaining HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for each remaining
button. DO NOT erase the channels.

POWER INVERTER
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet located on the left rear trim panel immediately
behind the second row left passenger seat. This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring power up to 150 Watts.
• Push the switch located in the center of the
instrument panel to turn the power to the
outlet on.
• Push the switch again to turn the power off.
The status indicator of the AC power inverter
indicates whether the inverter is producing AC
power.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will
automatically shut down. Once the electrical
device has been removed from the outlet,
the inverter should automatically reset. If the
power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts,
the power inverter may have to be reset manu-
ally. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the
device and plug it in again. To avoid overload-
ing the circuit, check the power ratings on elec-
trical devices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• use a three-prong adaptor
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock and
failure.

POWER OUTLETS
• Two 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlets are
located on the lower instrument panel, be-
low the open storage bin. The driver-side
power outlet is controlled by the ignition
switch and the passenger-side power outlet
is connected directly to the battery. The
driver-side power outlet will also operate a
conventional cigar lighter unit (if equipped
with an optional Smoker's Package).
•Oneoutletintheremovablefloorconsole
(if equipped) shares a fuse with the lower
outlet in the instrument panel and is also
connected to the battery. Do not exceed a
maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps)
shared between the lower panel outlet and
the removable floor console outlet.
• On vehicles equipped with the Super Console the power outlets are located under the
retractable cover. To access the power outlets push down on the cover and slide it toward the
instrument panel.
•Theoutletintherearquarterpanelneartheliftgateandtheupperoutletintheinstrument

NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt
(13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object in the
power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use of the power outlet
can cause damage not covered by your new vehicle warranty.

Cargo Area Storage
The liftgate sill plate has a raised line with the statement “Load To This Line”. This line indicates
how far rearward cargo can be placed without interfering with liftgate closing.
WARNING!
In a collision, serious injury could result if the seat storage bin covers are not properly latched.
Do not drive the vehicle with the storage bin covers open. Keep the storage bin covers closed
and latched while the vehicle is in motion. Do not use a storage bin latch as a tie down.
