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®
•Be sure that your vehicle is parked outside of
the garage before you begin programming.
•For more efficient programming and accu-
rate transmission of the radio-frequency
signal it is recommended 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 pro-
gramming. To erase the channels, place
the ignition switch into the ON/RUN posi-
tion, then press and hold the two out-
side 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
wish 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.

POWER OUTLET
The front power outlet is located in the front center storage bin of the instrument panel.
There are two power outlets located in the center console.
The rear power outlet is located in the right
rear cargo area.
The power outlets are labeled with either a
“key” or a “battery” symbol to indicate how
the outlet is powered. Power outlets labeled
with a “key” are powered when the ignition
switch is in the ON/RUN or ACC position,
while the outlets labeled with a “battery” are
connected directly to the battery and pow-
ered at all times.

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. See below image for fuse locations.
• 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.
• The rear cargo power outlet can be switched to “battery” powered all the time by switching the power outlet right rear quarter panel fuse in the fuse panel.

BATTERY LOCATION
The battery in your vehicle is located under the passenger's front seat. Remote battery
posts are located on the right side of the engine compartment for jump-starting.
JUMP-STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery it can be jump-started using a set of jumper cables
and a battery in another vehicle or by using a portable battery booster pack.
Jump-starting can be dangerous if done improperly so please follow the procedures in this
section carefully.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer’s operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
Preparations For Jump-Start
The battery in your vehicle is located under
the passengers front seat. There are remote
locations under the hood to assist in jump
starting.
• Set the parking brake, shift the automatictransmission into PARK and turn the igni-
tion to OFF.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unneces- sary electrical accessories.
• Remove the protective cover over the re- mote positive (+) battery post. Pull upward
on the cover to remove it.
• Remove the protective plug covering the remote negative (-) post.
• If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper
cables reach, set the parking brake and
make sure the ignition is OFF.

Jump-Starting Procedure
1. Connect the positive(+)end of the jumper cable to the remote positive (+)post of the
vehicle with discharged battery.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper cable to the positive (+)post of the
booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-)of the jumper cable to the negative (-)post of the booster
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)jumper cable to the remote negative (-)post
of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
1. Disconnect the negative (-)jumper cable from the remote negative (-)post of the vehicle
with the discharged battery.
2. Disconnect the negative end (-)of the jumper cable from the negative (-)post of the
booster battery.
3. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper cable from the positive (+)post of
the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable from the remote positive (+)post of
the vehicle with the discharged battery.
5. Reinstall the protective cover over the remote positive (+)post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
6. Reinstall the protective plug over the remote negative (-)post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
NOTE:
If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery and
charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.

CAUTION!
• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a systemvoltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
• Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (e.g., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery discharges sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
WARNING!
• When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged batterymay freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could rupture or
explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be brought above the
freezing point before attempting a jump-start.
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact. You could be severely injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen
gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks away from the
battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection
and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage
due to battery explosion.
• Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury.
