Failure Indications
A malfunction of the Rear Park Assist sensors or system
is indicated, during REVERSE gear engagement, by the
instrument panel warning icon and message appearing
on the Instrument Cluster Display.The warning icon is illuminated and a mes-
sage appearing on the Instrument Cluster
Display. Refer to Instrument Cluster Display
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
The sensors and wiring are tested continuously when
the ignition is in the ON/RUN position. Failures are
indicated immediately if they occur when the system is
ON.
Even if the system is able to identify that a specific
sensor is in failure condition, the Instrument Cluster
Display shall indicate that the Rear Park Assist system
is unavailable, without reference to the sensor in failure
condition. If even a single sensor fails, the entire system
must be disabled. The system is turned off automati-
cally.
Cleaning The Rear Park Assist System
Clean the Rear Park Assist sensors with water, car wash
soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths.
In washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping the
vapor jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least 4
inches (10 cm) from the sensors. Do not scratch or poke
the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.
Park Assist System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
• Ensure that the outer surface and the underside of
the rear bumper is clean and clear of snow, ice, mud,
dirt or other obstruction to keep the Rear Park Assist
system operating properly.
• Jackhammers, large trucks, and other vibrations
could affect the performance of Rear Park Assist.
• Clean the Rear Park Assist sensors regularly, taking
care not to scratch or damage them. The sensors must
not be covered with ice, snow, slush, mud, dirt or
debris. Failure to do so can result in the system not
working properly. The Rear Park Assist system might
not detect an obstacle behind the fascia/bumper, or it
could provide a false indication that an obstacle is
behind the fascia/bumper.

Canadian/Gate Operator Programming
For programming transmitters in Canada/United
States that require the transmitter signals to “time-out”
after several seconds of transmission:
Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of
transmission, which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming.
Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators
are designed to time-out in the same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the
cycling process to prevent possible overheating of the
garage door or gate motor.
1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go, place the ignition in the RUN position with the
engine ON. Make sure while programming HomeLink
with the engine ON that your vehicle is outside of your
garage, or that the garage door remains open at all
times. 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. Continue to push and hold the HomeLink button while you push and release (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until HomeLink has
successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indi-
cator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when
fully trained.
4. Watch for the HomeLink indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may take
up to 30 seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage
door may open and close while you are program-
ming.
5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.

NOTE:•If the indicator light stays on constantly, program-
ming is complete and the garage door/device
should activate when the HomeLink button is
pushed.
• To program the two remaining HomeLink buttons,
repeat each step for each remaining button. DO
NOT erase the channels.
If you unplugged the garage door opener/device for
programming, plug it back in at this time.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink Button
(Canadian/Gate Operator)
To reprogram a channel that has been previously
trained, follow these steps:
1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE: For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go, place the ignition in the RUN position with the
engine ON. Make sure while programming HomeLink
with the engine ON that your vehicle is outside of your
garage, or that the garage door remains open at all
times. 2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink button until
the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds.
Do not release the button.
3. Without releasing the button, proceed with
“Canadian/Gate Operator Programming” step 2 and
follow all remaining steps.
Using HomeLink
To operate, switch the ignition to the ON/RUN position
and the press and release the programmed HomeLink
button. Activation will now occur for the programmed
device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security
system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,).
The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be
used at any time. If the ignition is switched to the OFF
position, HomeLink will remain active for three min-
utes. During this time, if the vehicle is locked,
HomeLink is disabled.
Security
It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn
in your vehicle.
To do this, push and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the red indicator flashes.
