OPERATING TIPS
•To reduce fog build up on the windshield during humid weather, place
the air flow selector in the
position.
•To reduce humidity build up inside the vehicle: do not drive with the
recirculation control on or the system turned off.
•Do not put objects under the front seats that will interfere with the
airflow to the back seats.
•Remove any snow, ice or leaves from the air intake area at the base of
the windshield.
To aid in side window defogging/demisting in cold weather:
1. Select
.
2. Select A/C.
3. Adjust the temperature control to maintain comfort.
4. Set the fan to the highest speed.
5. Direct the outer instrument panel vents towards the side windows.
To increase airflow to the outer instrument panel vents, close the vents
located in the middle of the instrument panel.
Do not place objects on top of the instrument panel as these
objects may become projectiles in a collision or sudden stop.

HomeLinkwireless control system (if equipped)
The HomeLinkWireless Control System, located on the overhead
console, provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held
transmitters with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinkWireless Control System to a
garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of the way
to prevent potential harm or damage. Do not use the HomeLink
Wireless Control System with any garage door opener that lacks safety
stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards
(this includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April
1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect an object, signaling the

door to stop and reverse, does not meet current U.S. federal safety
standards. For more information, contact HomeLinkat:
www.homelink.comor1–800–355–3515.Retain the original
transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future programming
procedures (i.e. new HomeLinkequipped vehicle purchase). It is also
suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
buttons be erased for security purposes, refer toProgrammingin this
section.
Programming
Do not program the HomeLinkwith the vehicle parked in the
garage.
Note:Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
second (or “ACC”) position for programming and/or operation of the
HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkfor
quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons. The message CLEARING
CHANNELS will appear on the
HomeLinkdisplay.
•After about 20 seconds, the
message CHANNELS CLEARED
will appear.
Do notrepeat step one to program additional hand-held transmitters to
the remaining two HomeLinkbuttons. This will erase previously
programmed hand-held transmitter signals into HomeLink.
