HomeLink Universal Transmitter
On all V6 models
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 replace up to three remote
transmitters.
Customer Assistance
If you have problems with training
the HomeLink Universal
Transmitter, or would like
information on home products that
can be operated by the transmitter,
call (800) 355-3515. On the Internet,
go to www.homelink.jci.com. Important Safety Precautions
Always refer to the operating instructions and safety information
that came with your garage dooropener or other equipment you
intend to operate with the HomeLink Universal Transmitter. If you do not
have this information, you should contact the manufacturer of the
equipment.
While training or using the transmitter, make sure you have aclear view of the garage door or gate,
and that no one will be injured by its
movement.
General Information
If you are training the transmitter tooperate a garage door or gate, it is
recommended that you unplug the
motor for 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
manufactured before 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.

To remove exterior frost or ice from the windshield and side windowsafter the car has been sitting out in
cold weather:
1. Start the engine. 2. Select

3. Switch the fan and temperature controls to maximum.
To rapidly remove exterior frost or ice from the windshield (on very colddays), first select the Recirculation
mode. Once the windshield is clear,select the Fresh Air mode to avoid
fogging the windows. These settings direct all the air flow
to the defroster vents at the base of
the windshield and the side windowdefroster vents. The air flow will get
warmer and clear the windows faster as the engine warms up. You can
close the side vents with the dial
underneath each vent. This will send more warm air to the windshielddefroster vents.
For safety, make sure you have a
clear view through all the windows
before driving away. To Turn Everything Off
To shut off the system temporarily,turn the fan speed and temperaturecontrol dials all the way to the left.
You should shut the system completely off only for the first few
minutes of driving in cold weather,
until the engine coolant warms upenough to operate the heater. Keep
the fan on at all other times so stale
air does not build up in the interior.
