Note:
If the indicator light stays on, the
programming is complete.
Note: If the HomeLink indicator flashes
rapidly, repeat step 5.
Note: If your device still does not operate,
you must program your garage door. See
Programming the Garage Door Opener to
Your Garage Door Opener Motor (page 175).
6. To program additional buttons, repeat Steps 1 – 4.
PROGRAMMING THE GARAGE
DOOR OPENER TO YOUR GARAGE
DOOR OPENER MOTOR 1. Press the learn button on the garage
door opener motor, you have 30 seconds
to complete the next two steps.
2. Return to your vehicle. 3. Press and hold one of the three
HomeLink function buttons you want to
program for two seconds, then release.
Repeat this step. Depending on your
brand of garage door opener, you may
need to repeat this sequence a third time. PROGRAMMING THE GARAGE
DOOR OPENER TO YOUR GATE
OPENER MOTOR
Gate Operator / Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after
several seconds of transmission – which may
not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up
the signal during programming. Similar to
this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators
“time-out” in the same manner.
Note:
If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to
prevent possible overheating.
1. Press and release, every two seconds, your hand-held transmitter until the
HomeLink indicator light changes to a
rapidly blinking or continuously on light.
2. Release the hand-held transmitter button.

Your vehicle has a battery saver
feature that shuts your vehicle off when it
detects a certain amount of battery drain, or
after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity
in accessory mode.
Starting the Engine
With the transmission in park (P), press the
brake pedal and press the push button
ignition switch. An indicator light on the
button illuminates when the ignition is on
and when the engine starts.
Note: The system may not function if the
passive key is close to metal objects or
electronic devices, for example keys or a
cell phone.
Note: A valid key must be inside your vehicle
to switch the ignition on and start the engine. STARTING THE ENGINE
Starting a Gasoline Engine
Before starting your vehicle, check the
following:
•
Make sure that the headlamps and
electrical accessories are off.
• Make sure that the parking brake is on.
• Make sure that the transmission is in park
(P).
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal. 2. Press the push button ignition switch.
Note:
The engine may continue cranking for
up to 15 seconds or until it starts.
Note: The engine takes longer to start at
lower temperatures. It may crank for several
seconds when very cold. Restarting the Engine After Stopping
it
The system allows you to start the engine
within 10 seconds of switching it off, even if
it does not detect a valid passive key.
Within 10 seconds of switching the engine
off, fully press the brake pedal and press the
push button ignition switch. After 10 seconds,
you can no longer start the engine if the
system does not detect a valid passive key.
When you start the engine, it remains running
until you press the push button ignition
switch, even if your vehicle does not detect
a valid passive key. If you open and close a
door when the engine is running, the system
searches for a valid passive key.

Starting and Stopping the Engine –
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the engine idle speed high when I
am starting the engine?
The speed at which the engine idles
immediately after starting is optimized
to minimize vehicle emissions and
maximize cabin comfort and fuel
economy.
Why does the engine not crank? You can only attempt to start the engine
for a limited amount of time before the
starting system temporarily disables. If
you exceed the starting time limit, a
message may appear and you cannot
attempt to start the engine for at least
15 minutes. Why do I experience different driving
characteristics?
If you disconnect the battery, your
vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for approximately
5 mi (8 km) after you reconnect it. This
is because the engine management
system must realign itself with the
engine. You can disregard any unusual
driving characteristics during this period.
Why can I not start the engine? If you cannot start the engine after 3
attempts, wait 10 seconds and do the
following:
1. Fully press the brake pedal.
Note: Make sure that the parking brake is
applied.
Note: Make sure that the transmission is in
park (P) or neutral (N).
2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and hold it there.
3. Press the push button ignition switch.
Note: The engine cranks for a short period
of time and then it stops. 4. Release the accelerator pedal.
5. Press the push button ignition switch.
Why does the system not detect a passive
key?
If the system does not detect a passive
key and you are unable to start the
engine, insert the passive key into the
backup position and press the push
button ignition switch to start the
engine. See Accessing the Passive Key
Backup Position
(page 190).

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Always fully apply the
parking brake and make sure you shift into
park (P). Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death. WARNING:
Do not apply the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit engine performance,
which may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to serious
injury. WARNING:
When your vehicle is
stationary, keep the brake pedal fully
pressed when shifting gears. Failure to
follow this instruction could result in
personal injury, death or property damage. Note:
Do not use supplemental transmission
fluid additives, treatments, or cleaning
agents. Failure to follow this instruction could
result in vehicle damage not covered by the
vehicle warranty.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
POSITIONS
Park (P) WARNING:
Move the transmission
selector lever to park (P) only when your
vehicle is stationary.
This position locks the driveline. Come to a
complete stop before putting your vehicle
into and out of park (P).
The electric parking brake could apply when
you shift to park (P) without the brake pedal
fully pressed. The electric parking brake
applies when you shift to park (P) on large
slopes. The electric parking brake releases
with the drive away release function.
See
Electric Parking Brake (page 221). Note:
A warning tone sounds if you open the
driver door and you have not shifted the
transmission selector to park (P).
Reverse (R) WARNING:
Move the transmission
selector lever to reverse (R) only when your
vehicle is stationary and the engine is at
idle speed.
This position allows your vehicle to move
backward. Come to a complete stop before
shifting into and out of reverse (R).

position.
Drive (D)
Drive (D) is the normal driving position, and
allows automatic upshifts and downshifts
through all available gears.
Sport (S)
Putting the vehicle in sport (S):
• Provides additional engine braking and
extends lower gear operation to enhance
performance for uphill climbs, hilly terrain
or mountainous areas. This increases
engine RPM during engine braking.
• Provides additional lower gear operation
through the automatic transmission shift
strategy.
• Provides gear selection more quickly and
at higher engine speeds.
Note: You can shift into sport at any vehicle
speed. SHIFTING YOUR VEHICLE INTO
