2-48 Battery Saver
Your vehicle has a feature to help prevent you from
draining the battery in case you accidentally leave an
interior or trunk lamp on. If you leave any of these
lamps on while the ignition is in ACCESSORY or
OFF, they will automatically turn off after 20 minutes.
The lamps won't come back on until you do one of
the following:

Turn the ignition to ON,

turn the instrument panel brightness thumbwheel all
the way up or

open or close and reopen a door that is closed.
If the vehicle has less than 15 miles (25 km) on the
odometer, the battery saver will turn off the lamps after
only three minutes.
Mirrors
Adjust all mirrors so you can see clearly when you are
sitting in a comfortable position.
Inside Day/Night Rearview Mirror
To reduce glare from any lights or headlamps behind
you, push the lever located on the bottom center of the
mirror away from you to the night position. To return
the mirror back to the day position, pull the lever
toward you.

with Compass and Map Lamps (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may have an automatic electrochromic
day/night rearview mirror with a compass and map
lamps. The mirror automatically changes to reduce glare
from any headlamps behind you. A time delay feature
also prevents rapid changing from the day to the night
position while driving under lights and through traffic.
The mirror has an eight-point compass display located
in the upper corner of the mirror face. When the
compass display is turned on, the compass automatically
calibrates as the vehicle is driven.
The button to turn the compass/automatic dimming on

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. You can also push the net down and
secure it under the plastic hooks.
Ashtray and Cigarette Lighter
When your vehicle is delivered, the ashtray and cigarette
lighter will be in a plastic bag placed in the center
console storage area. If the ashtray and lighter are
needed, insert the ashtray and holder into the stationary
open cupholder in front of the shift lever.

-out
door below the heating and air conditioning controls.

also swing each visor from the front window to the side
window. The sun visors also have extenders located on
the inboard side that can be pulled out for added
anti
-glare protection.
Visor Vanity Mirror
When the sunvisors are in the down position, the visor
vanity mirror can be used by opening the cover. If the
vehicle has the optional lighted vanity mirrors, the
lamps will come on when the cover is opened.

extended periods of time, see your dealer for
more information.

Your vehicle's engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels.
1. Decide which one of the three channels (one of the
three HomeLink buttons) you want to program.
2. Press and hold the desired button on HomeLink
through Step 3.
3. When the HomeLink indicator light begins to blink
slowly (this may take up to 30 seconds), hold the
hand
-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)
away from HomeLink and then press and hold the
transmit button on the hand
-held transmitter.
Continue to hold both buttons until the indicator
light on HomeLink begins to flash rapidly. (This may
take up to 90 seconds).If you have trouble programming HomeLink, make sure
that you have followed the directions exactly as
described and that the battery in the hand
-held
transmitter is not weak. If you still cannot program it,
move the hand
-held transmitter to the left or right or
forward or backward or flip it upside down. HomeLink
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, refer to ªTraining a Garage Door Opener with
Rolling Codesº later in this section or contact the
manufacturer of HomeLink at 1
-800-355-3515, or on
the internet at www.homelink.com.
Be sure to keep the original hand
-held transmitter in
case you need to erase and reprogram HomeLink.

2-62 Training a Garage Opener with a
ªRolling Codeº Feature (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter of HomeLink, see ªProgramming the
HomeLink Transmitterº listed previously. If you have
completed this programming already, you now need to
train the garage door opener motor head unit to
recognize HomeLink.
1. Find the ªLearnº or ªSmartº button, refer to
your garage door opener owner's manual or contact
the manufacturer of HomeLink at 1

Step 3.
3. Return to HomeLink in your vehicle and firmly
press and release the programmed HomeLink
button three times.
The rolling-code garage door opener should now
recognize HomeLink. You may either use HomeLink or

2-66 Instrument Panel Cluster
Your instrument panel is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You'll know how fast
you're going, about how much fuel is in your tank and many other things you need to drive safely and economically.
United States version shown, Canada similar
Your instrument panel cluster includes indicator warning lights and gages that are explained on the following pages.

2-68 Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in thousands
of revolutions per minute (rpm).
NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the shaded area, or engine damage may occur.
Warning Lights, Gages
and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle's functions. As you
will see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they're working. If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
