UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (HomeLink®)
HomeLink®replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices such as
garage door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security systems. The
HomeLink
®unit is powered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
The HomeLink
®buttons that are located in the overhead console or sunvisor
designate the three different HomeLink®channels.
The HomeLink
®indicator is located above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming
HomeLink®
Ensure that your vehicle is parked out-
side of the garage before you begin pro-
gramming.
For efficient programming and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency sig-
nal, it is recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device that is being programmed to
the HomeLink
®system.
Erase all channels before you begin programming. To erase the channels, place the
ignition switch into the ON/RUN position, then press and hold the two outside
HomeLink
®buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds or until the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink
®for
the first time. Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.

POWER INVERTER
A 115 Volt, 150 Watt AC power inverter is located on the front of the center console.
This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices
requiring power up to 150 Watts.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with
built-in overload protection. If the power
rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the
power inverter will automatically shut
down. Once the electrical device has
been removed from the outlet, the in-
verter should automatically reset. If the
power rating exceeds approximately 170
Watts, the power inverter may have to be
reset manually. To reset the inverter
manually, unplug the device and plug it
in again. To avoid overloading the circuit,
check the power ratings on electrical de-
vices prior to using the inverter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• use a three-prong adaptor
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.

WARNING!
• Do not attempt jump-starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explodeand cause personal injury.
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan
blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry such as watch bands or bracelets that might make
an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.

resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury.
