The memory function recalls the position
of these features:
•
Driver seat.
• Power mirrors.
• Optional power steering column.
• Optional power adjustable pedals.
MEMORY FUNCTION

Press and release a preset button.
Note: You can recall a preset memory
position when the ignition is off, or when you
place the transmission in park (P) or neutral
(N) if the ignition is on and the vehicle is not

1. Press the learn button on the garage
door opener motor, you have 30
seconds to complete the next two
steps.
2. Return to your vehicle. 3. Press and hold one of the three
HomeLink function buttons you want
to program for two seconds, then

on your brand of garage door opener,
you may need to repeat this sequence
a third time.
PROGRAMMING THE GARAGE
DOOR OPENER TO YOUR GATE
OPENER MOTOR
Gate Operator / Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals 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 “time-out” in the
same manner.
Note: If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to
prevent possible overheating. 1. Press and release, every two seconds,
your hand-held transmitter until the
HomeLink indicator light changes to a
rapidly blinking or continuously on light.
2. Release the hand-held transmitter button.
3. Press and hold the HomeLink function
button you want to program for two
seconds, then release. You may need
to do this twice to activate the door.
Note: If the indicator light stays on, the
programming is complete.
Note: If the HomeLink indicator flashes
rapidly, repeat Step 3.
Note: If your device still does not operate,
you must program your garage door. See
Programming the Garage Door Opener to
Your Garage Door Opener Motor (page
177).
4. To program additional buttons, repeat Steps 1 – 4.
CLEARING THE GARAGE DOOR
OPENER 1. Press and hold the outer two function
buttons simultaneously for
approximately 10 seconds until the
indicator light above the buttons
flashes rapidly.

STARTING AND STOPPING THE
ENGINE – FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS - GASOLINE,
VEHICLES WITHOUT: PUSH
BUTTON START
Why is the engine idle speed high when
I am starting the engine?
The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting is optimized
to minimize vehicle emissions and
maximize cabin comfort and fuel
economy.
Why does the engine not crank? You can only attempt to start the
engine for a limited amount of time
before the starting system temporarily
disables. If you exceed the starting
time limit, a message may appear and
you cannot attempt to start the engine
for at least 15 minutes.
Why do I experience different driving
characteristics? If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for
approximately 5 mi (8 km) after you
reconnect it. This is because the engine
management system must realign
itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
Why can I not start the engine? If you cannot start the engine after 3
attempts, wait 10 seconds and do the
following:
1. Fully press the brake pedal or the clutch pedal.
Note: Make sure that the parking brake is
applied.
Note: Make sure that the transmission is in
park (P) or neutral (N). 2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and
hold it there. 3. Turn the key to position
III and wait
until the engine stops cranking.
4. Release the accelerator pedal.
5. Turn the key to position
