Head Restraints
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of injury
by restricting head movement in the event of a rear-
impact. Head restraints should be adjusted so that the
top of the head restraint is located above the top of your
ear.

operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
head restraints are placed in their proper posi-
tions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
• Head restraints should never be adjusted while
the vehicle is in motion. Driving a vehicle with
the head restraints improperly adjusted or re-
moved could cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Reactive Head Restraints — Front Seats
The front driver and passenger seats are equipped with
Reactive Head Restraints. In the event of a rear impact
the Reactive Head Restraints will automatically extend
forward minimizing the gap between the back of the
occupant’s head and the Reactive Head Restraint.
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on the head
restraint. To lower the head restraint, push the adjust-
ment button located at the base of the head restraint,
and push downward on the head restraint.
To remove the head restraint, raise it as far as it can go
then push the adjustment button, and the release button
at the base of each post while pulling the head restraintArmrest Cupholder

• Sound pulses emitted at a rate
that increases as the distance de-
creases.
• Emits continuous tone at 12
inches (30 cm).
• Adjustable volume level. (Refer

GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED
HomeLink replaces up to three remote controls (hand-
held transmitters) that operate devices such as garage
door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home secu-
rity systems. The HomeLink unit operates off your
vehicles battery.
The HomeLink buttons that are located in the sunvisor
designate the three different HomeLink channels. The
HomeLink
indicator is located above the center
button.
NOTE: HomeLink is disabled when the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is active.
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 accurate transmis-
sion of the radio-frequency signal, it is recommended
that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmit-
ter of the device that is being programmed to the
HomeLink system.
To erase the channels, place the ignition in the ON/
RUN position and push and hold the two outside
HomeLink buttons (I and III) for up 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 but-
tons.
• If you have any problems, or require assistance,
please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet
at HomeLink.com for information or assistance.

Programming A Rolling Code
For programming garage door openers that were manu-
factured after 1995:
These garage door openers can be identified by the
“LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the hang-
ing 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 in 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. 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 re-
ceived 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/device
