While training or using the
transmitter, make sure you have a
clear view of the garage door or gate,
and that no one will be injured by its
movement.
Always ref er to the operating
instructions and saf ety inf ormation
that came with your garage door
opener or other equipment you
intend to operate with the HomeLink
Universal Transmitter. If you do not
have this inf ormation, you should
contact the manuf acturer of the
equipment.
If you are training the transmitter to
operate a garage door or gate, it is
recommended that you unplug the
motor f or that device during training.
Repeatedly pressing the remote
control button could burn out the
motor. The HomeLink transmitter stores
the code in a permanent memory.
There should be no need to retrain
the transmitter if your car’s battery
goes dead or is disconnected.
If your garage door opener was
manuf actured bef ore April 1982, you
may not be able to program the
HomeLink Universal Transmitter to
operate it. Garage door openers
manufactured before that date do
not have a safety feature that causes
them to stop and reverse if an
obstacle is detected during closing,
increasing the risk of injury. If you
have questions, call (800) 355-3515.
The HomeLink Universal
Transmitter built into your car can
be programmed to operate remotely-
controlled devices around your home,
such as garage doors, lighting, or
home security systems. It can
replaceuptothreeremote
transmitters.
If you have problems with training
the HomeLink Universal
Transmitter, or would like
inf ormation on home products that
can be operated by the transmitter,
call (800) 355-3515. On the Internet,

Both f ront seats are equipped with
seat heaters. The ignition must be
ON (II) to use them. Push the right
side of the switch, HI, to rapidly heat
up the seat. After the seat reaches a
comf ortable temperature, select LO
by pushing the lef t side of the switch.
This will keep the seat warm.The HI or LO indicator lights and
remains lit until you turn it of f by
pushing the opposite side of the
switch lightly. The indicator will turn
off.
In HI, the heater turns of f when the
seat gets warm, and turns back on
after the seat’s temperature drops. It
continues to cycle as long as you
leave it set on HI. The HI indicator
remains lit as a reminder that you
have the heater on.
In LO, the heater runs continuously.
It does not cycle with temperature
changes.
Do not use the seat heaters, even
on the LO setting, if the engine is
lef t idling f or an extended period.
They can weaken the battery,
causing hard starting.
Use the HI setting only to heat the
seats quickly. Select the LO
setting when the seats f eel warm.
The HI setting draws large
amounts of current f rom the
battery.
Follow these precautions whenever
you use the seat heaters:
Because of the sensors f or the side
airbag system, there is no heater in
the passenger’s seat-back.
