Power Door Locks
The power door lock
switches are located on
the driver’s and front passenger’s armrests.
Remove the ignition key and press the lock symbol
to
lock all of the doors at once. To unlock the doors, press
the other side of the switch.
Delayed Locking
This feature makes it easier to use the power door locks
to lock all the doors and the liftgate when leaving your
vehicle.
The first time you attempt
to lock the doors using the
power lock switch or the remote keyless entry
transmitter (with any door or the liftgate open), three
chimes will signal that delayed locking is being used.
All doors and the liftgate can be reopened for up to five
seconds from the time the last door is closed. Five
seconds after the last door is closed, all the doors
will lock.
You can lock the doors immediately by
using the power door lock switch or the optional remote
keyless entry transmitter a second time.
If the key is inserted in the ignition, this feature will not
lock the doors. The lockout prevention feature will
operate instead.
You can enable or disable the delayed locking feature.
If the feature is disabled, the doors will lock immediately
when a power door lock switch or remote keyless
entry transmitter lock button is pressed.
Programming Delayed Locking
When your vehicle was shipped from the factory, the
delayed locking feature was programmed on, or
enabled. The mode
to which your vehicle was
programmed may have been changed since it left the
factory. To turn the delayed locking feature on or
off, do
the following:
1. Press and hold the power door lock switch on the
2. Press the remote keyless entry transmitter unlock

Programmable Unlocking Feature
The following is the list of available programming
options:
Mode 1: Driver’s door unlocks when the transmission is
shifted into PARK (P).
Mode 2: All doors unlock when the transmission is
shifted into PARK (P).
Mode 3: All doors unlock when the key is removed
from the ignition.
Mode 4: No automatic door unlock.
The automatic door locks were pre-programmed at the
factory to unlock the driver’s door once the transmission
is shifted
to PARK (P). The following instructions
detail how to program your door locks differently than
the factory setting. Choose one of the four programming
options listed above before entering the program
mode.
To enter the program mode you need
to do the
following:
1. Begin with the ignition off. Then pull the turn
signaVmultifunction lever toward you and hold
it there while you perform the next step.
2.
3.
Turn the key to RUN and LOCK twice. Then, with the
key in LOCK, release the turn signal/multifunction
lever. Once you do this, you will hear the lock switch
lock and unlock, the horn will chirp twice, and a
30 second program timer will begin
You are now ready
to program the automatic door
locks. Select one
of the four programming options
listed above, and press the unlock side of the power
door lock switch
to cycle through the unlocking
options. You will have
30 seconds to begin
programming. If you exceed the
30 second limit, the
locks will automatically lock and unlock and the
horn will chirp twice
to indicate that you have
left the program mode. If this occurs, repeat the
procedure beginning with Step
1 to re-enter
the programming mode.
You can exit the program mode any time by turning the
ignition to RUN. The locks will automatically lock and
unlock and the horn will chirp twice
to indicate that you
are leaving the program mode.
If the IocWunlock
switches are not pressed while in the programming
mode, the current auto IocWunlock setting will not be
modified.
See your dealer for more information.

It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the radio frequency.
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons,
releasing only when the indicator light begins
to
flash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold down the
buttons for longer than
30 seconds and do not
repeat this step to program a second and/or third
transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink@
buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter
about
1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the
HomeLink@ buttons while keeping the indicator light
in view.
button on HomeLink@ and the hand-held
transmitter button.
Do not release the buttons until
Step
4 has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may
require you to substitute Step
3 with the procedure
noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this section.
4. The indicator light will flash slowly at first and then
rapidly after HomeLink@ successfully receives the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired
5. Press and hold the newly-trained HomeLink@
button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your device should
activate when the HomeLink@ button is pressed and
released.
To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons,
begin with Step
2 under “Programming
HomeLink@
.” Do not repeat Step 1 as this will
erase all of the programmed channels.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds
and then turns to a constant light, continue with
Steps
6 through 8 following to complete the
programming of a rolling-code equipped device
(most commonly, a garage door opener).
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head
unit) in the garage, locate the “Learn’’ or “Smart”
button. This can usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart”
button. The name and color of the button may

programmed HomeLink@ button for two seconds,
then release. Repeat the press/hold/release
sequence a second time, and depending on the
brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling
code device), repeat this sequence a third time
to complete the programming.
HomeLink@ should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons,
begin with Step
2 of “Programming HomeLink@ .” Do not
repeat Step
1.
Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals
to “time out” or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long enough for
HomeLink@ to pick up the signal during programming.
Similarly, some U.S. gate operators are manufactured
to
“time out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator by using the
“Programming HomeLink@
” procedures (regardless of
where you live), replace Step
3 under “Programming
HomeLink@
” with the following: Continue
to press and hold the HomeLink@ button while
you press and release every two seconds (cycle) your
hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has been
successfully accepted by HomeLink@
. The indicator
light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly. Proceed
with Step
4 under “Programming HomeLink@” to
complete.
Using HomeLink@
Press and hold the appropriate HomeLink@ button for
at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on
while the signal
is being transmitted.
Erasing HomeLink@ Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons do the
following:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until
2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than
HomeLink@ is now in the train (learning) mode and can
be programmed at any time beginning with Step
2
under “Programming HomeLink@ .”
Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can be
reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink@ Button” next. the

Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever Turn and Lane Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and two
downward (for left) positions. These positions allow you
to signal a turn or a lane change.
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes the following:
60 : Turn and Lane Change Signals
20 : Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
Flash-to-Pass Feature
: Windshield Wipers
6 : Windshield Washer
: Cruise Control (If Equipped) To
signal a lane change, just raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to flash. Hold
it there until you
complete your lane change. The lever will return by itself
when you release it. The bottom of the outside
rearview mirrors may also be equipped with lane change
indicators.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
flash more quickly than normal,
a signal bulb may
be burned out and other drivers won’t see your turn
signal.
3-7

If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when you signal
a turn, check the fuse. See
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
on page 5-86 and check for burned-out bulbs.
If you have a trailer towing option with added wiring for
the trailer lamps, a different turn signal flasher is
used. With this flasher installed, the signal indicator will
flash even
if a turn signal bulb is burned out. Check
the front and rear turn signal lamps regularly
to make
sure they are working.
Turn Signal On Chime
If your turn signal is left on for more than 3/4 of a mile
(1.2 km), a chime will sound at each flash of the
turn signal.
To turn off the chime, move the turn signal
lever to the off position.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high beam, push
the lever toward the instrument panel. To return
to
low-beam headlamps, pull the multifunction lever toward
you. Then release it.
-1 When the high beams are
on, this indicator light on
the instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to
signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass.
It works even if your headlamps are in the automatic
position.
To use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then
release it.
If your headlamps are in the automatic position or on
low beam, your high-beam headlamps will turn on.
They’ll stay on as long as you hold the lever toward you.
