Auto-reverse function
WARNING
There are some small distances immedi-
ately before the closed position which
cannot be detected. Make sure that all
passengers have their hands, etc., inside
the vehicle before closing the window.
If the control unit detects something caught in the
window as it is closing, the window will be imme-
diately lowered.
The auto reverse function can be activated when
the window is closed by automatic operation
when the power switch is in the ON position or
for 45 seconds after the power switch is placed
in the OFF position.
Depending on the environment or driving
conditions, the auto reverse function may
be activated if an impact or load similar to
something being caught in the window oc-
curs.

WARNING
• Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener that cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing ga-
rage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current
federal safety standards. Using a ga-
rage door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious in-
jury or death.
• During the programming procedure, your garage door or security gate will
open or close (if the transmitter is
within range) . Make sure that people
or objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
• Place the power switch in the ACC or ON position while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink® buttons, refer to
the HomeLink® web site at: www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
Place the power switch in the ACC position
when programming HomeLink®. It is also
recommended that a new battery be placed
in the hand-held transmitter of the device
being programmed to HomeLink® for
quicker programming and accurate trans-
mission of the radio-frequency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter
1–3 inches (2–8 cm) away from the
HomeLink® surface, keeping the HomeLink®
indicator light
1in view. 2. Using both hands, simultaneously press and
hold the desired HomeLink® button and
handheld transmitter button. DO NOT release
until the HomeLink® indicator light
1flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator
light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be re-
leased. (The rapid flashing indicates success-
ful programming.)
NOTE:
Some devices may require you to re-
place Step 2 with the cycling procedure
noted in the “Programing HomeLink®
for Canadian customers and gate open-
ers” section.

The inside mirror is designed so that it automati-
cally changes reflection based on the intensity of
the headlights of the vehicle behind.
When the system is turned on, the indicator light
Awill illuminate and excessive glare from the
headlights of the vehicle behind you will be re-
duced.
Type A (if so equipped): The anti-glare system
automatically turns on when the power switch is
moved to the ON position.
Do not hang any objects on the mirror or
apply glass cleaner to it. Doing so will re-
duce the sensitivity of the sensor
B, result-
ing in improper operation.
Type B (if so equipped): Push the “ ” switch

Available views
WARNING
• The distance guide lines and the ve- hicle width lines should be used as a
reference only when the vehicle is on a
paved, level surface. The apparent dis-
tance viewed on the monitor may be
different than the actual distance be-
tween the vehicle and displayed ob-
jects.
• Use the displayed lines and the bird’s eye view as a reference. The lines and
the bird’s-eye view are greatly affected
by the number of occupants, cargo,
fuel level, vehicle position, road condi-
tion and road grade.
• If the tires are replaced with different sized tires, the predicted course lines
and the bird’s-eye view may be dis-
played incorrectly.
• When driving the vehicle up a hill, ob- jects viewed in the monitor are further
than they appear. When driving the ve-
hicle down a hill, objects viewed in the
monitor are closer than they appear. • Objects in the rear view will appear
visually opposite compared to when
viewed in the rear view and outside
mirrors.
• Use the mirrors or actually look to properly judge distances to other ob-
jects.
• On a snow-covered or slippery road, there may be a difference between the
predicted course lines and the actual
course line.
• The vehicle width and predicted course lines are wider than the actual width
and course.
• The displayed lines will appear slightly off to the right, because the rearview
camera is not installed in the rear cen-
ter of the vehicle.

others through inadvertent operation
of the vehicle. Also, on hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
be quickly become high enough to
causes severe or possibly fatal injuries
to people or animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-

To turn the system off
To turn off the climate control, press the Climate
control system OFF button. The same operating
mode (Heater or A/C) that was active when the
system is turned off is active when system is
turned back on.
Climate Ctrl. Timer
While the charger is connected to the vehicle,
this function pre-heats or pre-cools the passen-
ger compartment of the vehicle to the tempera-
ture set by default before driving. This helps
reduce power consumption from the Li-ion bat-
tery.
As the temperature is set to the factory default
setting, the user cannot adjust the temperature.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air condi-
tioner using power from the charger. Electric
power from the Li-ion battery is not used.
Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it automati-
cally starts so the vehicle compartment will be
cooled/heated to the temperature set by default
by the registered departure time. It is therefore
not necessary to set the Climate Ctrl. Timer ev-
eryday.
WARNING
Even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, the
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment may become high or low if the sys-
tem automatically stops. Do not leave
children or adults who would normally
require the support of others alone in
your vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to people
or animals. Also on cold days, tempera-
ture in a vehicle could become low
enough to cause severe or possible fatal
injuries to people or animals. 1. Push the
switchAon the left side of
the combination meter panel.
2. Push the
switchBuntil “Climate Ctrl.
Timer” is highlighted on the vehicle informa-
tion display and then push the
switch
A.
