OVERHEAD CONSOLE WITH MOON ROOF (IF EQUIPPED)
The appearance of your vehicle's overhead console will vary according to
your option package. Some of the features in the overhead console
include Compass, Homelink, and Moon Roof controls.
Compass mode
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect
compass accuracy.
1. Turn ignition to the ON position.
2. Start the engine.
3. From a blank display press and
release the MODE button once. The
directional heading will be
displayed.
Note:If the compass is
de-calibrated, CAL will be displayed
in the right corner of the display.
Refer toªCalibration modeºin this
section for more details.
4. The overhead console displays the compass heading in one of eight
directions: NORTH, NORTHEAST, EAST, SOUTHEAST, SOUTH,
SOUTHWEST, WEST, and NORTHWEST.
Zone variation mode
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. A correct zone
setting will eliminate compass heading error.
For optimum calibration, turn off all electrical accessories (heater/air
conditioning, wipers, etc.) and make sure all vehicle doors are shut.
To set the compass zone:
1. Press and release the MODE
button until the compass directional
heading is displayed.

AUXILIARY POWER POINT
The auxiliary power point is located in the floor console storage bin.
Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the cigarette lighter. Use
the power point.
Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element.
The Maximum power each power point can supply depends on the fuse
rating. For example: a 20A fuse should supply a maximum of 240 Watts,
a 15A fuse should supply a maximum of 180 Watts and a 10A fuse should
supply a maximum of 120 Watts. Exceeding these limits will result in a
blown fuse.
Always keep the power point caps closed when not being used.
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not hang
any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the plug.
Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.

HOMELINKTWIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM
The HomeLinktWireless 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 current transmitters to operate garage doors,
entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or
office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinktWireless 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 HomeLinktWireless 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
HomeLinktat:www.homelink.comor1±800±355±3515.

Note:Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
second (or ªACCº) position for programming and/or operation of the

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.

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
