Heated outside mirrors
Both mirrors are heated
automatically to remove ice, mist
and fog when the rear window
defrost is activated.
Do not remove ice from the
mirrors with a scraper or
attempt to readjust the mirror
glass if it is frozen in place.
These actions could cause damage to the glass and mirrors.
Fold-away mirrors
Pull the side mirrors in carefully
when driving through a narrow
space, like an automatic car wash.
Automatic dimming inside rear view mirror
Your vehicle is equipped with an
inside rear view mirror which has an
auto-dimming function. The
electronic day/night mirror will
change from the normal state to the
non-glare state when bright lights
(glare) reach the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from front
or behind, it will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the mirror since this may
impair proper mirror performance.
Press the control to turn the mirror OFF or AUTO.
The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse)(when the mirror is on) to ensure a
bright clear view when backing up.

HOMELINKTUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver, located on the driver's visor,
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 current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver 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 HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver 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 HomeLinkt
at: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 HomeLinktequipped vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomelinktUniversal Transceiver buttons be erased for
security purposes, refer toProgrammingin this section.
Programming
Do not program the HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver with the
vehicle parked in the garage.
Note:Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
second (or ªACCº) position for programming and/or operation of the
HomeLinkt. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinktfor
quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the red
light begins to flash after 20
seconds.Do notrepeat step one to
program additional hand-held
transmitters to the remaining two
HomeLinktbuttons. This will erase
previously programmed hand-held
transmitter signals into HomeLinkt.
2. Position the end of your
hand-held transmitter 2±8 cm (1±3
inches) away from the HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver surface (located
on your overhead console) while keeping the red light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLinktand hand-held
transmitter button.Do not release
the buttons until step 4 has been
completed.
Some entry gates and garage door
openers may require you to replace
step 3 with procedures noted in the
ªGate Operator and Canadian
Programmingº section for Canadian
residents.
4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons
when the red light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light indicates
acceptance of the hand-held transmitters' radio frequency signals.)
5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinktbutton and observe the red
light. If the light is a constant red, programming is complete and your
device should activate when the HomeLinktbutton is pressed and
released.Note:To program the remaining two HomeLinktbuttons,
begin with step 2 in the ªProgrammingº section Ðdo notrepeat step 1.
If the red light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a
continuous red, proceed with steps 6 through 8 to complete
programming of a rolling code equipped device.
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the ªlearnº or ªsmartº button (usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the unit).
7. Press and release the ªlearnº or ªsmartº button. (The name and color
of the button may vary by manufacturer.)

Note:There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight.
8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLinktbutton. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence
again, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other
rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to
complete the programming.
HomeLinktshould now activate your rolling code equipped device. To
program additional HomeLinktbuttons begin with step 2 in the
ªProgrammingº section. For questions or comments, please contact
HomeLink atwww.homelink.comor1±800±355±3515.
Operating the HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
To operate, simply press and release
the appropriate HomeLinktbutton.
Activation will now occur for the
trained product (garage door, gate
operator, security system, entry
door lock, or home or office lighting
etc.). For convenience, the
hand-held transmitter of the device
may also be used at any time. In the
event that there are still
programming difficulties, contact
Homelinktatwww.homelink.comor1±800±355±3515.
Erasing HomeLinkTbuttons
To erase the three programmed
buttons (individual buttons cannot
be erased):
²Press and hold the two outer
HomeLinktbuttons until the red
indicator light begins to
flash-after 20 seconds. Release
both buttons. Do not hold for
longer that 30 seconds.
HomeLinktis now in the train (or
learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with step
2intheªProgrammingºsection.
