others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper
restraint for the child’s size.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER
Programming HomeLink®
Begin Programming
• The HomeLink® buttons are located in theheadliner.
• Erase all channels before you begin training 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 handheld 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 handheld transmitter button until the HomeLink® indicator flash rate changes from a slow to a
rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLink® and the handheld transmitter
buttons. This may take up to 30 seconds, or longer in rare cases.
• Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink® button; if the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door should open.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are training the universal transceiver. Do not train the transceiver if people or pets are in the path
of the door or gate. 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.
• Vehicle exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a dangerous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage while training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause serious
injury or death.
NOTE: If you are having difficulty training 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 “training” 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).

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Malfunction Indicator Light
• If the “ESC Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, amalfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light remains on after several
ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds
greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you drive to the nearest service center as
soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
• The “ESC Malfunction Indicator Light” starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active. If the light begins to flash during acceleration, ease up
on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed
and driving to the prevailing road conditions. The light also flashes when TCS is active. To
improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be
desirable to switch the ESC system to Partial Off mode by momentarily pressing the ESC
Off
switch.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• A Tire Pressure Monitoring Light and a “low tire” message will display in your instrumentcluster along with an audible chime if one or more of your vehicle’s four road tires are
significantly under-inflated.
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and
Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening. The TPMS light
should not be used as a tire pressure gauge when adjusting your tire pressure.
• It is recommended that you check the tire pressure in the morning when tires are cool; inflate each tire to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The light will turn off
after your vehicle’s tire pressures are properly inflated and the pressure has been
recognized. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(25 km/h) before the light will turn off.
• Temperature changes can affect tire pressure, causing the TPMS light to turn on. Tire pressures will also increase as the vehicle is driven – this is normal and you should not
adjust for this increased pressure.
• Driving on under-inflated tires reduces your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and tire tread life. If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may turn on.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
40

• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have thevehicle serviced immediately.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light
• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop thevehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four minutes
when this light turns on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommendyou drive to the nearest Service Center and have the system serviced as soon as
possible.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle theignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the
PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing
when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience
reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing.
- Airbag Warning Light
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommendyou drive to the nearest Service Center and have the system serviced as soon as
possible.
- 4WD System Fault Indicator Light
• When lit solid: There is a 4WD system fault. The 4WD performance will be at a reducedlevel. Drive to the nearest Service Center and have the vehicle serviced as soon as
possible.
• When blinking: The 4WD system is temporarily disabled due to overload condition.
- Transmission Temperature Warning Light
• This light indicates that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light turns on, you will experience
reduced vehicle performance until the automatic transaxle cools down. If the overheating
continues, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle, with the transmission in NEUTRAL,
until the light turns off. Once the light turns off, you may continue to drive normally.
