NOTE:
The heated seats consume less power
than the heater and can be used to either
help extend vehicle range by reducing
heater use or to maximize comfort by
supplementing the heater.
WARNING
Do not use or allow occupants to use
the seat heater if you or the occupants
cannot monitor elevated seat tem-
peratures or have an inability to feel
pain in those body parts in contact with
the seat. Use of the seat heater by such
people could result in serious injury.

• Do not place anything hard or heavy
on the seat or pierce it with a pin or
similar object. This may result in
damage to the heater. •

CARGO LIGHT
The light illuminates when the rear hatch is
opened. When the rear hatch is closed, the
light goes off. For additional information,
see “Exterior and interior lights” (P. 8-23). The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
• Will operate most radio frequency de-
vices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
• Is powered by your vehicle's 12–volt bat- tery. No separate batteries are required. If
the vehicle's 12–volt battery is discharged
or is disconnected, HomeLink® will retain
all programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming pro-
cedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional infor-
mation, see “Programming HomeLink®”
(P. 2-72).
WARNING
• Your vehicle's EV system should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. For
additional information, see “Push-
button power switch” (P. 5-9).
• 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
became effective for opener models
manufactured af ter April 1, 1982). A
garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a clos-
ing garage door and then automati-
cally stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards. Us-
ing a garage door opener without
these features increases the risk of
serious injury or death.
• During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and 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.
