Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the HomeLink Transmitter flash rapidly. The
rapid flashing, which could take up to
90 seconds,
indicates that the HomeLink Transmitter has been
programmed. Release both buttons once the light
starts to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the HomeLink
Transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly
as described and that the batteries in
the hand-held transmitter are not dead. If you still cannot
program it, rotate your hand-held transmitter end over
end and try again. The HomeLink Transmitter may not
work with older garage door openers that do not meet
current Federal Consumer Safety Standards. If you
cannot program the transmitter after repeated attempts,
consult your Aurora retailer or call 1-800-355-35

Be sure to keep your original hand-held transmitter in
case you need to erase and reprogram the HomeLink
Transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or two seconds.
If you
are programming from one of these
transmitters,
the HomeLink indicator light may prompt
you to re-activate your hand-held transmitter with
a series
of double blinks. After you re-activate your hand-held
transmitter, the HomeLink light should flash rapidly. If it
flashes slowly, continue to periodically re-activate your
hand-held transmitter until the light flashes rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press the appropriate button on the HomeLink Universal
Transmitter. The red light comes
on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range of the
HomeLink Transmitter may differ from your hand-held
transmitter and from
one channel to another.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons
until the red light begins to flash.
Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be
reprogrammed using the procedure for programming the
transmitter explained earlier.
Accessories
Accessories for your HomeLink Universal Transmitter are
available from the manufacturer of
the unit. If you would
like additional information, please call 1-800-355-35 15.

Electrochromic Daymight Rearview
Mirror
r I
I m
Your Aurora has an electrochromic dayhight rearview
mirror.
The mirror adjusts for the glare of headlamps behind
you. It detects changes
in light, then adjusts for day or
night operation. During the
day the mirror reflects all the light from
behind your car. At night, when the glare is too high, it
changes to the night mode. Then, it reflects only part
of
the light from behind you. When the mirror changes to
the night mode,
it holds that position until glare is no
longer present.
There is an automatic and an off setting. When the
button on the bottom of the mirror is pressed up, the
mirror reacts
to glare conditions automatically. Press the
button again to turn off the automatic setting.
Time Delay
The automatic mirror has a time delay feature which
prevents unnecessary switching from the night back to
the day position. This delay prevents rapid changing
of
the mirror as you drive under lights and through traffic.
Reverse Gear Day Mode
The reverse mode is another important feature of the
mirror. When the shift lever is placed
in REVERSE (R),
the mirror changes to the day mode. This gives you a
bright image
in the mirror as you back up.

Convenience Net
Your vehicle has a convenience net just inside the back
wall of the trunk.
Put small loads, like grocery bags, behind
the net. It can
help keep them from falling over during sharp turns or
quick starts and stops.
The net isn’t for larger, heavier loads. Store them in
the
trunk as far forward as you can. You can unhook the net
so that it will lie flat when you’re not using it.
Two positions exist for the convenience net, depending
on the size of the cargo.
Use this position for small loads. Use this position
for slightly larger loads.
When installing the net in either position, be sure
the
“up label” (A) is pointing up.

your warning lights and gages could

others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there

lights come on briefly when

repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They‘re a big help.
Your vehicle
also has a Driver Information Center that
works along
with the warning lights and gages. See
“Driver Information Center”
in the Index.
To
turn off messages on the center, except LOW OIL
PRESSURE, LOW BRAKE FLUID, PARK BRAKE
SET and the hot engine warnings, press any button on
the Driver Information Center.
