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

NOTE:
Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature change.
Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage, especially in the Winter. Example:
If garage temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold
tire inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi (7 kPa) for every
12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable
system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use
tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage
to the sensors may result.

-SeatBeltReminderLight
When the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, this light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver's seat belt is unbuckled, a
chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver or front passenger seat belt
remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will flash or remain on continuously. Refer to
“Seat Belt Systems” in “Things To Know Before Starting” in the OM on your DVD for further
information.
-BrakeWarningLight
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake appli-
cation. If the brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake
fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system reservoir.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
100

If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the
full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunc-
tion or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS)/Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will remain on until the
condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will
run when applying the brake and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of
the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake
Wa r n i n g L i g h t , w h i c h w i l l t u r n o n w h e n t h e b r a k e f l u i d l e v e l i n t h e m a s t e r c y l i n d e r h a s d r o p p e d
below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn
on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF
position to the ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for approximately two seconds. The
light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light
does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake
application.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have
failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the vehicle
checked immediately.
-MalfunctionIndicatorLight(MIL)
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the
MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical
driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and not require towing.
If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to
immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend you do not
operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
-ElectronicStabilityControl(ESC)IndicatorLight
If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle as possible. While driving,
ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.
