CELL PHONE USE
The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,
safety cannot be compromised when using such equipment. It can
enhance personal safety and security when appropriately used,
particularly in emergency situations. Safety must be paramount when
using mobile communications equipment to avoid negating these
benefits.
Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, in vehicle communications
systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.
A driver’s first responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle.
The most important thing you can do to prevent a crash is to
avoid distractions and pay attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to
operate Mobile Communications Equipment.
POWER WINDOWS (IF EQUIPPED)
Press and hold the bottom part of
the rocker switch to open the
window. Press and hold the top part
of the rocker switch to close the
window.

HOMELINKUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER WITH TRAVELNOTE
(IF EQUIPPED)
The HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver, located on the driver’s visor,
provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver to a
garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact HomeLink
at:www.homelink.comor1–800–355–3515.
Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLinkequipped vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomelinkUniversal Transceiver buttons be erased for
security purposes, refer toProgrammingin this section.
Programming
Do not program the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver with the
vehicle parked in the garage.
Note:Your vehicle may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
ACC position for programming and/or operation of the HomeLink.Itis
also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkfor quicker
training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the red
light begins to flash after 20
seconds.Do notrepeat step one to
program additional hand-held
transmitters to the remaining two
HomeLinkbuttons. This will erase
previously programmed hand-held
transmitter signals into HomeLink.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 2–8cm(1–3 inches)
away from the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver surface (located on
your visor) while keeping the red light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLinkand hand-held
transmitter button.Do not release
the buttons until step 4 has been
completed.
Some entry gates and garage door
openers may require you to replace
step 3 with procedures noted in the
“Gate Operator and Canadian Programming”section for Canadian
residents.

when the red light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light indicates
acceptance of the hand-held transmitters’radio frequency signals.)
5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkbutton and observe the red
light. If the light is a constant red, programming is complete and your
device should activate when the HomeLinkbutton is pressed and
released.Note:To program the remaining two HomeLinkbuttons,
begin with step 2 in the“Programming”section—do notrepeat step 1.
If the red light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a
continuous red, proceed with steps 6 through 8 to complete
programming of a rolling code equipped device.
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the“learn”or“smart”button (usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the unit).

Gate Operator & Canadian Programming
During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may
automatically stop transmitting—
not allowing enough time for
HomeLinkto accept the signal
from the hand-held transmitter.
After completing steps 1 and 2
outlined in the“Programming”
section, replace step 3 with the following:
Note:If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is
advised to unplug the device during the“cycling”process to prevent
overheating.
•Continue to press and hold the HomeLinkbutton (note step 3 in the
“Programming”section) while you press and release—every two
seconds(“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency
signal has been accepted by the HomeLink. The red indicator light
will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLinkaccepts the radio
frequency signal.
•Proceed with step 4 in the“Programming”section.
Operating TravelNote
