®buttons are located in
the overhead console.
• Erase all channels before you begin programming by holding the two
outside buttons for up to 20 seconds
until the red indicator flashes.
• Park your vehicle outside of the garage and turn the ignition switch to the
ON/RUN position.
• Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) from the HomeLink
®buttons
while keeping the indicator light in view.
• Simultaneously, press and hold both the chosen HomeLink
®button and the hand-held
transmitter button until the HomeLink®indicator flash rate changes from a slow to a
rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLink®and the hand-held transmitter
buttons. This may take up to 30 seconds, or longer in rare cases.
• Press and hold the just-programmed HomeLink
®button; if the indicator light stays on
constantly, programming is complete and the garage door should open.
NOTE:
• Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and reverse” feature as required by Federal safety standards. This includes most garage door opener
models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without these safety
features. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet, at www.HomeLink.com for
safety information or assistance.
• If you are having difficulty programming your HomeLink
®and your garage door opener
was manufactured after 1995, you may have a rolling code. Follow the steps below for
Programming A Rolling Code System.
Programming A Rolling Code System • At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “learn” or “programming” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the garage door opener motor (it is NOT the button normally used to open
and close the door).
• Firmly press and release the “learn” or “programming” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. Within 30 seconds, return to the vehicle and
press the programmed HomeLink
®button twice (holding the button for two seconds
each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is complete.
• If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete the programming.

switch in the ON/RUN position or the
engine running, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL, and press the “4WD
LOW” button once on the transfer
case switch. The “4WD LOW”
indicator light in the instrument cluster
will flash and turn off when the shift is

temperature protection exists, a “For 4x4
Low Slow Below 5 MPH or 8 KPH Put
Trans in N Press 4 Low” message will
flash on the Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC).
• Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with the vehicle completely
stopped; however, difficulty may occur
due to the mating clutch teeth not being
properly aligned. Several attempts may
be required for clutch teeth alignment
and shift completion to occur. The
preferred method is with the vehicle
rolling 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h). If the
vehicle is moving faster than 3 mph
(5 km/h), the transfer case will not allow
the shift.

four seconds. The indicator light will
begin to flash indicating the shift is in
progress. The light will stop blinking
(stay on solid) when the NEUTRAL shift
is complete. A “4WD SYSTEM IN
NEUTRAL” message will display on
the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC).
• Repeat these Steps to shift out of NEUTRAL.

control of the vehicle while
maintaining safe handling controls.
The vehicle will lower (if equipped
with Air Suspension) by 0.59 inches
(15 mm) in the SPORT mode.

Control is set for additional stability in
inclement weather. Use on and off
road on loose traction surfaces such
as snow.

four-wheel drive operation can be
used on and off road. Balances
traction with steering feel to provide
improved handling and acceleration
over two-wheel drive vehicles.
