If you need to recalibrate the compass:
1. Press and hold the button for morethan 9 seconds. When the compass
memory is cleared a "C" will appear in
the display.
2. Drive the vehicle in 2 complete circles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).Integrated HomeLink®Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink®Wireless Control
System can replace up to three hand-
held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters
with a single built-in device. This innova-
tive feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to
operate devices such as gate operators,
garage door openers, entry door locks,
security systems, even home lighting.
Both standard and rolling code-equipped
transmitters can be programmed by fol-
lowing the outlined procedures.
Additional HomeLink
®information can
be found at: www.homelink.com or by
calling 1-800-355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
®programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
®buttons be
erased for security purposes.
Before programming HomeLink®to
a garage door opener or gate oper-
ator, make sure people and objects
are out of the way of the device to
prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLink
®with any
garage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse features
required by U.S. federal safety stan-
dards (this includes any garage
door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door
that cannot detect an object - sig-
naling the door to stop and reverse
- does not meet current U.S. federal
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these features
increases the risk of serious injury
or death.

ing again.
There are some conditions that can
cause changes to the vehicle magnets,
such as installing a ski rack or a CB
antenna. Body repair work on the vehicle
can also cause changes to the vehicle’s
magnetic field. In these situations, the
compass will need to be re-calibrated to
quickly correct these changes. If you need to recalibrate the compass:
1. Press and hold the button for more
than 6 seconds. When the compass
memory is cleared a "C" will appear in
the display.
2. Drive the vehicle in 2 complete circles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).

You and your passengers must
be aware of the location of the
Emergency Trunk Safety Release
lever in this vehicle and how to
open the trunk in case you are
accidentally locked in the trunk.
NEVER allow anyone to occupy
the trunk of the vehicle at any
time. If the trunk is partially or
totally latched and the person is
unable to get out, serious injury
or death could occur due to lack
of ventilation, exhaust fumes and
rapid heat build-up, or because of
exposure to cold weather condi-
tions. The trunk is also a highly
dangerous location in the event
of a crash because it is not a pro-
tected occupant space but is a
part of the vehicle's crush zone.
Your vehicle should be kept
locked and the Smart Key should
be kept out of the reach of chil-
dren. Parents should teach their
children about the dangers of
playing in trunks.

Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn itclockwise until it "clicks" one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is latched securely.
Gasoline is highly flammable and
explosive. Failure to follow these
guidelines may result in SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station.
Before refueling, note the loca-
tion of the Emergency Gasoline
Shut-Off, if available, at the gas
station.
Before touching the fuel nozzle,
you should eliminate the poten-
tial build-up of static electricity
by touching a metal part of the
vehicle, a safe distance away
from the fuel filler neck, nozzle, or
other gas source, with your bare
hand. (Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
Do not use cellular phones while
refueling. Electric current and/or
electronic interference from cel-
lular phones can potentially
ignite fuel vapors and cause a
fire.
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refueling.
You can generate a build-up of
static electricity by touching, rub-
bing or sliding against any item
or fabric capable of producing
static electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire. If you must re-
enter the vehicle, you should
once again eliminate potentially
dangerous static electricity dis-
charge by touching a metal part
of the vehicle, away from the fuel
filler neck, nozzle or other gaso-
line source, with your bare hand.
When using an approved
portable fuel container, be sure to
place the container on the
ground prior to refueling. Static
electricity discharge from the
container can ignite fuel vapors
causing a fire.(Continued)
(Continued)Once refueling has begun, con-
tact between your bare hand and
the vehicle should be maintained
until the filling is complete.
Use only approved portable plastic
fuel containers designed to carry
and store gasoline.
When refueling, always move the
shift lever to the P (Park) posi-
tion, set the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch to the
LOCK/OFF position. Sparks pro-
duced by electrical components
related to the engine can ignite
fuel vapors causing a fire.
Do not use matches or a lighter
and do not smoke or leave a lit
cigarette in your vehicle while at
a gas station, especially during
refueling.
Do not over-fill or top-off your
vehicle tank, which can cause
gasoline spillage. (Continued)
