after 1982. Do not use a garage door
opener without these safety features. Call
toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet
at HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.
Pre-Programming The
System
Note:It is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink for quicker
training and accurate transmission of
the radio-frequency signal.
Proceed as follows:
1. Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device you
would like to program.
2. Disconnect the power to the device.
Programming The
System
Note: When programming a garage
door opener or a gate, disconnect the
power to these devices before
performing programming. Continuous
operation of the devices could damage
the motor. The HomeLink system provides three
buttons which can be individually
selected and programmed using the
transmitters for current, on-market
devices as follows:
1. Disconnect power to the device
being programmed.
2. Position the end of your handheld
transmitter one to three inches (2.5 -
7.5 cm ) away from the HomeLink
button you wish to program while
keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both
the chosen HomeLink and hand-held
transmitter buttons.
Do not release
the buttons until step four has been
completed 4. After the HomeLink indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light, release both the
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
5. Connect power to the device being
programmed.
6. Firmly press and hold the
programmed HomeLink button for five
seconds, and then release it. Perform
this operation two times to activate the
door or gate. If the door or gate does
not activate, press and hold the
just-trained HomeLink button and
observe the indicator light. If the
indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your
device should activate when the
HomeLink button is pressed and
released;
Note:
To program the remaining two
HomeLink buttons, begin with
“Programming” - step one.
7. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a
constant light, continue with
“Programming” steps (see below) to
complete the programming of a rolling
code equipped device (most commonly
a garage door opener).

Oil Life Reset
Versions With Fiat Radio 3.0
“Oil Change” with flexible settings are
available. Consult an Authorized
Dealership for details.
Note:The engine oil flexible
maintenance setting is available (if
equipped). Based on the engine
operating conditions, the on-board
computer in your vehicle calculates the
remaining oil life. When the engine oil
flexible maintenance setting is selected,
the system must be reset whenever
replacing the engine oil regardless of
the wrench indicator light display.
When the engine oil flexible
maintenance setting is selected, the
wrench indicator light will illuminate in
the instrument cluster when remaining
oil life becomes less than 300 miles
(500 km) or remaining days are less
than 15 (whichever comes first).
Reset Method
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine
oil change indicator system. The “Oil
Change Required” message will flash in
the Instrument Cluster Display for
approximately 10 seconds after a single
chime has sounded to indicate the next
scheduled oil change interval. The
engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate,
dependent upon your personal driving
style.
Unless reset, this message will continue
to display each time you turn the
ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
To reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled
maintenance), refer to the following
procedure
1. Place the ignition in the ON position.
(Do not start the engine.)
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal
slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Place the ignition in the OFF/LOCK
position.
Note:
If the indicator message
illuminates when you start the vehicle,
the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this
procedure.

Direct mode is cancelled (released)
under the following conditions:
The vehicle is driven for a certain
amount of time or longer (time differs
depending on the driving conditions
while operating).
The vehicle is stopped or moving at a
slow speed.
Note: Shifting up and down while in
direct mode may not be possible
depending on the vehicle speed. In
addition, because direct mode is
cancelled (released) depending on the
rate of acceleration or if the accelerator
is fully depressed, use of the manual
shift mode is recommended if you need
to drive the vehicle in a particular gear
for long periods.
Driving Tips
Overtaking
For extra power when passing another
vehicle or climbing steep grades, press
the accelerator fully. The transmission
will shift to a lower gear, depending on
vehicle speed.
Note:
The accelerator pedal may initially
feel heavy as it is being pressed, then
feel lighter as it is pressed further. This
change in pedal force aids the engine
control system in determining how
much the accelerator pedal has been pressed for performing kickdown, and
functions to control whether or not
kickdown should be performed.
While the gear selector is in the
MANUAL (M) position and the Dynamic
Stability Control (DSC) is turned off,
manual shift mode does not switch to
automatic shift mode even if the
accelerator pedal is completely
pressed. Operate the gear selector.
Climbing steep grades from a stop
To climb a steep grade from a stopped
position:
1. Press the brake pedal.
2. Shift to DRIVE (D) or M1, depending
on the load weight and grade
steepness.
3. Release the brake pedal while
gradually accelerating.
Descending steep grades
When descending a steep grade, shift
to lower gears, depending on load
weight and grade steepness.
Descend slowly, using the brakes only
occasionally to prevent them from
overheating.
ELECTRONIC SPEED
CONTROL
Electronic Speed
Control
This is an electronically controlled
driving assistance feature that allows

maintained, without having to press the
accelerator pedal.
This feature can be used at a speed
above 25 mph (40 km/h) on long
stretches of dry, straight roads with few
variations (e.g. motorways).
It is therefore not recommended to use
this feature on city roads with traffic.
Do not use it in town.
Warning!
Do not use the cruise control under the
following conditions:
hilly terrain
steep inclines
heavy or unsteady traffic
slippery or winding roads
similar restrictions that require
