Headlight aiming control (if so equipped)
Depending on the number of occupants in the
vehicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight
axis may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is
traveling on a hilly road, the headlights may
directly hit the rearview mirror of the vehicle
ahead or the windshield of the oncoming
vehicle. The light axis can be lowered with the
operation of the switch.
The larger the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
When traveling with no heavy load or on a flat
road, select position 0.
WARNING
Xenon headlights (if so equipped) are
extremely bright compared to conven-
tional headlights. If the xenon head-
lights hit the rearview mirror of the
vehicle ahead or the windshield of
oncoming vehicle, the driver of these
vehicles may have difficulty driving
because of the brightness. Use the
headlight aiming control switch to low-
er the light axis. See “Xenon head-
lights” (P.2-33) for additional
information.

on and off the Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
system.
The BSW system will illuminate the Blind Spot
Warning (BSW) indicator lights, in the outside
mirrors, when the radar sensors detect a vehicle
in the detection zone. If the turn signal is
activated in the direction of the detected vehicle,
a chime sounds twice and the BSW indicator
light will flash. (See “Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
system” (P.5-17) .)

The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most
driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor.
If maximum engine power is needed to free a
stuck vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. The
indicator light will illuminate.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. (See “Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system” (P.5-31) .)

The HomeLink®Universal Transceiver provides 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 (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is dis-
connected, HomeLink
®will retain all pro-
gramming.
When the HomeLink
®Universal Transcei-
ver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (Example: new vehicle purchases) .
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, refer to “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®” (P.2-59) .
WARNING
. Do not use the HomeLink®Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by
federal safety standards. (These
standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after
April 1, 1982) . 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 federal safety
standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
. During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate
will open and close (if the transmit-
ter 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
contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness 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:
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-fre-
quency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmit- ter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away from the
HomeLink
®surface, keeping the HomeLink®
indicator light*1in view.
