These buttons let you control some
functions of the audio system with-
out removing your hands from the
wheel. Refer to page 179 for a com-
plete explanation.
Keys
Your vehicle comes with two master
keys and a valet key.
The master key fits all the locks on your vehicle:
Ignition

Tailgate The valet key works only in the
ignition and the door locks. You can
keep the glove box locked when you
leave your vehicle and valet key at a
parking facility.
You should have received a key number plate with your keys. You
will need this key number if you ever have to get a lost key replaced. Keep
the plate stored in a safe place. If you

Operating the Doors With the Door
Handles
OUTSID E
INSIDE
With the sliding door fully-closed or
fully-open, pull the outside or inside door handle, then release it.
Once the door begins to move, the
door handles cannot be used to stop
the door. If you need to stop the door
for any reason, use the dashboard switches or the remote transmitter.
Locking the Doors
LOC K KNO B
Each sliding door has a lock knob
under the inside door handle. Slide
the lock knob forward to unlock, and
backward to lock the doors. You can also use the lock and unlock buttons
on the remote transmitter.
When you drive with children in your
vehicle, use the childproof door locks (see page 85). This will
prevent children from opening thedoors accidentally.
Sliding Doors and Obstacles
Each power sliding door has an auto-
reverse feature. If a door meets
resistance while closing, it will beep
three times and automatically
reverse direction. However, the door
may not immediately reverse direction (like some elevator doors),
and the force of a closing door may
cause bruising or discomfort. Always
make sure passengers and any objects are well away from the power
sliding doors before closing them.
Also check that passengers, especially children, do not have their
hands on the edge of the sliding door or on the door pillar. The auto-
reverse feature stops working when
the door is about to latch so the
motor can pull the door shut.

HomeLink Universa l Transmitte r
Before you begin — If you just took
delivery of your vehicle and have
not trained any of the buttons in the
HomeLink transmitter before, you should erase any previously learned
codes before training the first
button. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons on the
HomeLink transmitter until the red light flashes. Release the buttons,
then proceed to Step 1.
If you are training the second or
third buttons, go directly to Step 1. 1. Unplug the garage door opener motor from the house current.
2. Hold the end of the garage door opener remote control 1 to 3
inches from the HomeLink
transmitter. Make sure you arenot blocking your view of the
red light in the transmitter. 3. Select the transmitter button
you want to train.
4. Press the button on the remote control and the button on thetransmitter at the same time.
Hold down both buttons.
Canadian Owners: The remote
control you are training from may stop transmitting after two
seconds. 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.
5. The red light in the transmitter should begin flashing. It will
flash slowly 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. Plug in the garage door opener motor, then test the transmitter
button by pushing it. It should operate the garage door.
If the button does not work,
repeat this procedure to train it again. If it still does not work,
you may have a variable or

rolling code garage door
opener. Test this by pressing
and holding the HomeLink
transmitter button you just
trained. If the red light blinks
for two seconds, then stays on,
you have a rolling code garage
door opener. You may be able
to verify this with the
manufacturer's documentation.
Go to "Training With a Rolling
Code System."
8. Repeat these steps to train the other two transmitter buttons tooperate any other remotely-
controlled devices around your
home (lighting, automatic gate, security system, etc.).
Trainin g Wit h a Rollin g Cod e
Syste m
For security purposes, newer
garage door opening systems use a
"rolling" or variable code.
Information from the remote control and the garage door opener
are needed before the HomeLink
transmitter can operate the garage
door opener. The "Training the
Transmitter" procedure trains the
HomeLink transmitter to the proper garage door opener code. The
following procedure synchronizes the HomeLink transmitter to the
garage door opener so they sendand receive the correct codes.
It may be helpful to have someone assist you with this procedure.
1. Make sure you have properly completed the "Training the
Transmitter" procedure.
2. Find the "Training" button on your garage door opener unit.
The location will vary,
depending on the manufacturer.
The manufacturer's documentation may help. 3. Press the Training button on the
garage door opener unit until
the light next to the button
comes on, then release it. The light may blink, or come on andstay on. You then have
approximately 30 seconds to
complete the following steps.
