® Wireless Control System
(if so
equipped)N00554300030
HomeLink
® Wireless Control System is a registered trademark
of Johnson Controls Inc..
HomeLink® provides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink® will operate most radio frequency devices such as
garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks
and security systems.
NOTE
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while program-
ming HomeLink
®.

HomeLink
® is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No sep-
arate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s battery is dis-
charged or is disconnected, HomeLink
® will retain all
programming.

Once HomeLink
® is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming procedures (for exam-
ple, new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink
® buttons should be erased for
security purposes.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not use HomeLink
® with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse features as
required by U.S. Federal Regulations. A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object in the path of
a closing garage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current U.S. Federal
Regulations. Using a garage door opener without
these features increases the risk of serious injury or
death.

During programming, your garage door or gate may
open or close. Make sure that people and objects are
clear of the garage door or gate that you are pro-
gramming.

4 Loading information
N00629900381
It is very important to know how much weight your vehicle can
carry. This weight is called the vehicle capacity weight and
includes the weight of all occupants, cargo and non-factory-
installed options. The tire and loading information placard
located on the driver’s door sill of your vehicle will show how
much weight it may properly carry.
It is important to familiarize yourself with the following terms
before loading your vehicle:

Vehicle maximum load on the tire: load on an individual
tire that is determined by distributing to each axle its share
of the maximum loaded vehicle weight and dividing by
two.

Vehicle normal load on the tire: load on an individual tire
that is determined by distributing to each axle its share of
the curb weight, accessory weight, and normal occupant
weight and dividing by two.

Maximum loaded vehicle weight: the sum of -
(a) Curb weight;
(b) Accessory weight;
(c) Vehicle capacity weight; and
(d) Production options weight.
Curb weight: the weight of a motor vehicle with standard
equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil,
and coolant.

Accessory weight: the combined weight (in excess of
those standard items which may be replaced) of automatic
transmission, power steering, power brakes, power win-
dows, power seats, radio, and heater, to the extent that
these items are available as factory- installed equipment
(whether installed or not).

Vehicle capacity weight: the rated cargo and luggage load
plus 150 lbs (68 kg) times the vehicle’s designated seating
capacity.

Production options weight: the combined weight of those
installed regular production options weighing over 5 lbs
(2.3 kg) in excess of those standard items which they
replace, not previously considered in curb weight or
accessory weight, including heavy duty brakes, ride level-
ers, roof rack, heavy duty battery, and special trim.

Normal occupant weight: 150 lbs (68 kg) times the num-
ber of specified occupants. (In your vehicle the number is
3)

Occupant distribution: distribution of occupants in a vehi-
cle as specified. (In your vehicle the distribution is 2 in
front, 1 in second seat)
WA R N I N G
!
Never overload your vehicle. Overloading can dam-
age your vehicle, adversely affect vehicle perfor-
mance, including handling and braking, cause tire
failure, and result in an accident.
*: 150 lbs (68 kg) is the weight of one person as defined by
U.S.A. and Canadian regulations.

NOTE
When the “ ” or “ ” position is selected, you cannot
turn the air conditioning off or use the recirculation posi-
tion.
This prevents the windows from fogging up.

When the mode selection dial is set to a position other
than “ ” or “ ”, the air selection will automatically
change to outside air. The air conditioning will revert to
the previous condition in which the “ ” or “ ” posi-
tion was not selected.

When the temperature control dial is set to the “MAX
A/C” position, the air selection will be automatically set
to the recirculation position.

If the temperature dial is set to any position other than
“MAX A/C”, outside air will always be used when the
ignition switch is turned on.

When the coolant temperature rises above a certain point,
the air selection is automatically switched to the recircula-
tion position and the indicator light (A) turns on. When
this occurs, the system will not switch to the outside air
position until the coolant temperature goes down, even if
the selection switch is pushed.
Air conditioning switch
N00731000407

engine idle speed. Therefore, make sure your foot is
firmly on the brake pedal when shifting the tran-
saxle into drive.
