WARNING
∙ Do not use the HomeLink® UniversalTransceiver 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 de-
tect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically
stop and reverse does not meet cur-
rent federal safety standards. Using 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. ∙ Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. Do
not breathe exhaust gases; they con-
tain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.
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 ignition switch in the ACC posi-
tion 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 transmission of the radio
frequency. 1. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 1–3 in (2–8 cm) away from
the HomeLink® surface, keeping the
HomeLink® indicator light
1in view.

Lockout protection
When the power door lock switch (driver’s
or front passenger’s side) is moved to the
lock position with the Intelligent Key lef t in
the vehicle and any door open, all doors will
unlock automatically and a chime will
sound af ter the door is closed.
AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS
∙ All doors lock automatically when thevehicle speed reaches 15 mph
(24 km/h).
∙ All doors unlock automatically when the transmission is placed in the P (Park)
position or when the ignition switch is
placed in the OFF position.
NOTE:
The automatic door unlock function can
be changed using “Vehicle Settings” of
the vehicle information display. For ad-
ditional information, refer to “Vehicle in-
formation display ” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK
Child safety locks help prevent the rear
doors from being opened accidentally, es-
pecially when small children are in the ve-
hicle.
The child safety lock levers are located on
the edge of the rear doors.
When the lever is in the unlock position
2,
the door can be opened from the outside
or the inside.
When the lever is in the LOCK position
1,
the door can be opened only from the
outside.

NOTE:∙ Request switches for all doors and
trunk lid can be deactivated when the
“Ext. Door Switch” setting is switched
to OFF in “Vehicle Settings” of the ve-
hicle information display. For addi-
tional information, refer to “Vehicle
information display ” in the “Instru-
ments and controls” section of this
manual.
∙ Doors lock with the door handle re-
quest switch
1while the ignition
switch is not in the LOCK position. ∙
Doors do not lock by pushing the door
handle request switch while any door
is open. However, doors lock with the
mechanical key even if any door is
open.
∙ Doors do not lock with the door
handle request switch with the Intel-
ligent Key inside the vehicle and a
beep sounds to warn you. However,
when an Intelligent Key is inside the
vehicle, doors can be locked with an-
other Intelligent Key.

Entry/Exit function (if so
equipped)
The automatic drive positioner system (if
so equipped) will make the steering wheel
move up automatically when the driver’s
door is opened and the ignition switch is in
the LOCK position. This lets the driver get
into and out of the seat more easily. The
steering wheel moves back into position
when the driver’s door is closed and the
ignition switch is pushed.
For additional information, refer to “Auto-
matic drive positioner” in this section.

and swing the visor to the side.
3Slide the extension sun visor in or out
as needed.

OUTSIDE MIRRORS
The outside mirror remote control will op-
erate only when the ignition switch is in the
ACC or ON position.
Move the small switch
1to select the right
or lef t mirror. Adjust each mirror to the de-
sired position using the large switch

Move the small switch
1to the center
(neutral) position to prevent accidentally
moving the mirror.

Bird’s-eye view
The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead
view of the vehicle, which helps confirm the
vehicle position and the predicted course
to a parking space.
The vehicle icon
1shows the position of
the vehicle. Note that the apparent dis-
tance between objects viewed in the bird’s-
eye view may differ somewhat from the
actual distance to the vehicle.
The areas that the cameras cannot cover
2are indicated in black. The non-viewable area
2is highlighted in
yellow for several seconds af ter the bird’s-
eye view is displayed. It will be shown only
the first time af ter the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position.

Additional information:∙ When replacing a wheel without the TPMS such as the spare tire, the TPMS
does not monitor the tire pressure of
the spare tire.
∙ The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above
16 mph (25 km/h). Also, this system may
not detect a sudden drop in tire pres-
sure (for example, a flat tire while driv-
ing).
∙ The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire
pressure is adjusted. Af ter all four tires
are inflated to the recommended pres-
sure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 mph (25 km/h) to acti-
vate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pres-
sure gauge to check the tire pressure.
∙ The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warn- ing appears in the vehicle information
display when the low tire pressure
warning light is illuminated and low tire
pressure is detected. The “ Tire Pressure
Low - Add Air” warning turns off when
the low tire pressure warning light turns
off. ∙ The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warn-
ing does not appear if the low tire pres-
sure warning light illuminates to indi-
cate a TPMS malfunction.
∙ The “Tire Pressure Low - Add Air” warn- ing appears each time the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position as
long as the low tire pressure warning
light remains illuminated.
∙ Tire pressure rises and falls depending on the heat caused by the vehicle’s op-
eration and the outside temperature.
Do not reduce the tire pressure af ter
driving because the tire pressure rises
af ter driving. Low outside temperature
can lower the temperature of the air
inside the tire which can cause a lower
tire inflation pressure. This may cause
the low tire pressure warning light to
illuminate. If the warning light illumi-
nates, check the tire pressure for all four
tires.
∙ The Tire and Loading Information label is located in the driver’s door opening.
For additional information, refer to “Low tire
pressure warning light” in the “Instruments
and controls” section and “Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)” in the “In case of
emergency” section of this manual.

Vehicle set-up1. Park the vehicle in a safe and level place.
2. Apply the parking brake and place the shif t lever in the P (Park) position.
3. Place the ignition switch in the ON po- sition. Do not start the engine.
Operation 1. Add air to the tire.
2. Af ter a few seconds, the hazard indica- tors will start flashing.
3. When the designated pressure is reached, the horn beeps once and the
hazard indicators stop flashing.
4. Perform the above steps for each tire. ∙ If the tire is over-inflated more thanapproximately 4 psi (30 kPa), the horn
beeps and the hazard indicators
flash three times. To correct the pres-
sure, push the core of the valve stem
on the tire briefly to release pressure.
When the pressure reaches the des-
ignated pressure, the horn beeps
once.
∙ If the hazard indicator does not flash within approximately 15 seconds af-
ter starting to inflate the tire, it indi- cates that the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is
not operating.
∙ The TPMS will not activate the Easy- Fill Tire Alert under the following con-
ditions:
– If there is interference from an exter- nal device or transmitter.
– The air pressure from the inflation device is not sufficient to inflate the
tire.
– There is a malfunction in the TPMS system.
– There is a malfunction in the horn or hazard indicators.
– The identification code of the tire pressure sensor is not registered to
the system.
– The battery of the tire pressure sen- sor is low.
∙ If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert does not op- erate due to TPMS interference, move
the vehicle about 3 f t (1 m) backward
or forward and try again.
If the Easy-Fill Tire Alert is not working, use a
tire pressure gauge.AVOIDING COLLISION AND
