Sliding Doors

Each sliding door has a lock knob
under the inside door handle. Slide
the lock knob forward to unlock and
backward to lock. When you drive with children in your
vehicle, use the childproof door
locks. This will prevent children
from opening the doors accidentally (see page 85 ).
To lock a sliding door when getting out of the vehicle, slide the lock
knob backward and close the door. If
you are parked on a hill, the doors may slide closed if they are not in the
fully-open, latched position. You should hold the door to let
passengers enter and exit safely. Before refueling, make sure the
driver's side sliding door is fully
closed. When you release the fuel fill
door with the handle, the sliding
door automatically locks so it cannot
be opened and interfere with the fuel
fill door. After you close the fuel fill door, the sliding door does not
automatically unlock; you must
unlock it manually.

Important Safety Precaution
When parking on an incline, make
sure the manual doors are latched
in the fully-open position before
allowing passengers to enter or
exit the vehicle. Do not pull the
inside or outside door handles or
the latch will open and the door
will slam shut.

HomeLink Universal Transmitter

1. This step erases all previously learned
codes. Perform this step before
training the transmitter for the very

first time. Press and hold the two
outside buttons until the red light
in the transmitter flashes (approximately 20 seconds).
Release the buttons.
2. Hold the end of the garage door opener remote control 1 to 3
inches from the HomeLink
transmitter. Make sure you are
not blocking your view of the redlight in the transmitter.
3. Select the transmitter button you want to train.
4. Press the button on the remote control and the button on the
transmitter at the same time. Holddown both buttons. 5. The red light in the transmitter
should begin flashing. It will flashslowly at first, then rapidly.
6. When the red light flashes rapidly, release both buttons. The
transmitter should have learned
the code from the remote control.
7. Test the transmitter button by pushing it. It should operate the
garage door.
8. Repeat these steps to train the other two transmitter buttons to
operate any other remotely-
controlled devices around your
home (lighting, automatic gate, security system, etc.).
Canadian Owners:

The remote control you are training from may stop transmitting after twoseconds. This is not long enough for
the HomeLink transmitter to learn
the code. Release and press the
button on the remote control every
two seconds until the transmitter has
learned the code.
If you are programming the
transmitter to operate a garage door or gate, it is recommended that you
unplug the motor for that device during programming. 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 vehicle's
battery goes dead or is disconnected.
