HOMELINK PROGRAMMING
CAUTION:o Make sure people and/or objects are out
of the way of any garage doors or gates
you may be operating during the pro-
gramming procedures.
o Keep original transmitters for potential
future programming needs, or in case
you sell the vehicle.
o In the event you do sell your vehicle, it's
recommended you erase your pro-
grammed HomeLink mirror buttons.
WARNING:
Do not use HomeLink with any garage door
opener that lacks the safety stop and re-
verse feature as required by federal safety
standards (includes garage doors manu-
factured before April 1, 1982), as these
doors can increase the risk of serious injury
or death. Call 1-800-355-3515 or visit
www.homelink.com for more information.

NOTE:If programming a garage door opener or
gate, it is advised to unplug the device
during the "cycling" process to prevent
possible motor burnout.ProgrammingEnsure the ignition switch is turned to the "ACC"
position to program and/or operate HomeLink

battery be placed in the handheld transmitter of
the device being programmed to HomeLink for
quicker programming and accurate transmis-
sion of the radio-frequency.
Follow these steps to program your HomeLink

HOOD RELEASEB570A01L-GAT1. Pull the release lever to unlatch the hood.
WARNING:
o If you open the fuel filler cap during high
ambient temperatures, a slight "pres-
sure sound" may be heard. This is nor-
mal and not a cause for concern.
Whenever you open the fuel filler cap,
turn it slowly.
o Make sure the fuel filler cap is replaced
and securely seated after fueling. Failure
to replace or fully seat the fuel filler cap
will result in fuel vapors escaping into
the atmosphere and the check engine
" " indicator illuminating.
o Do not "TOP-OFF" after the first nozzle
shut off when refueling.
o Automotive fuels are flammable/explo-
sive materials. When refueling, please
note the following guidelines carefully.
- Before touching the fuel nozzle or
fuel filler cap, have one's hands in
contact with metal parts away from
the filler neck to discharge static elec-
tricity.
- Do not get back in the vehicle while
refueling. Do not operate anything
that can produce static electricity.
Static electricity discharge can ignite
fuel vapors resulting in explosion.

WARNING:
- When using a portable fuel container
be sure to place the container on the
ground while refueling. Static elec-
tricity discharge from the container
can ignite fuel vapors causing a fire.
While starting refueling contact
should be maintained until the filling
is complete.
- Do not use cellular phones around a
gas station. The electric current or
electronic interference from cellular
phones can ignite fuel vapors caus-
ing a fire.
- When refueling always shut the en-
gine off. Sparks by electrical equip-
ment of the engine can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. After refueling,
check to make sure the fuel filler cap
is securely closed, and then start the
engine.
- Do not smoke or try to light cigarettes
around a gas station. Automotive
fuels are flammable.

B571A03Y-AATWhen using a floor mat on the front floor carpet,
make sure it attaches to the floor mat anchor in
your vehicle. This keeps the floor mat from
sliding forward.
WARNING:
o Make sure the floor mat is properly placed
on the floor carpet. If the floor mat slips
and interferes with the movement of the
pedals during driving, it may cause an
accident.
o Don't put an additional floor mat on the
top of the anchored floor mat, otherwise
the additional mat may slide forward and
interfere with the movement of the ped-
als.
!
WARNING:
o Always double check to be sure that the
hood is firmly latched before driving
away. If it is not latched, the hood could
open while the vehicle is being driven,
causing a total loss of visibility, which
might result in an accident.
o Do not move the vehicle with the hood
in the raised position, as vision is ob-
structed and the hood could fall or be
damaged. 2. Push the secondary latch lever up and lift the
hood.

WARNING:
o Keep the cruise control ON/OFF switch
off when not using the cruise control.
o Use the cruise control system only when
traveling on open highways in good
weather.
o Do not use the cruise control when it
may not be safe to keep the car at a
constant speed, for instance, driving in
heavy or varying traffic, or on slippery
(rainy, icy or snow-covered) or winding
roads or over 6% up-hill or down-hill
roads.
o Pay particular attention to the driving
conditions whenever using the cruise
control system.
o During normal cruise control operation,
when the "SET" switch is activated or
reactivated after applying the brakes,
the cruise control will energize after ap-
proximately 3 seconds. This delay is
normal.

o Fading - As your car moves away from the
radio station, the signal will weaken and
sound will begin to fade. When this occurs,
we suggest that you select another stronger
station.
o Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or large
obstructions between the transmitter and
your radio can disturb the signal causing
static or fluttering noises to occur. Reducing
the treble level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.o Station Swapping - As an FM signal weak-
ens, another more powerful signal near the
same frequency may begin to play. This is
because your radio is designed to lock onto
the clearest signal. If this occurs, select
another station with a stronger signal.
o Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio signals being
received from several directions can cause
distortion or fluttering. This can be caused by
a direct and reflected signal from the same
station, or by signals from two stations with
close frequencies. If this occurs, select
another station until the condition has passed.
B750B03Y-AATUsing a cellular phone or a two-way radioWhen a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,
noise may be produced from the audio equip-
ment. This does not mean that something is
wrong with the audio equipment. In such a case,
use the cellular phone at a place as far as
possible from the audio equipment.
WARNING:
Don't use a cellular phone when you are
driving. Stop at a safe place to use a cellular
phone.
