to three hand-held radio frequency
remotes used to acti vate devices such as
gate operators, garage door openers,
entry door locks, se curity systems, even
home lighting. The below steps are
generic programming instructions; for
Genie and Sommer garage door openers
please go directly to the HomeLink
®
website. Additional information and

CAUTION

Before programming HomeLink
®
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure that people
and objects are out of the way of
the device to prevent potential
harm or damage.
 When programming a garage
door opener, it is advised to park
outside of the garage. Do not use HomeLink
® with any
garage door opener that lacks
safety stop and reverse features
as required by U.S. federal safety
standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manu-
factured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detect an
object signaling the door to stop
and reverse does not meet
current U.S. federal safety stan-
dards.
 It is also recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-
held remote (garage door opener
remote) of the device for quicker
and more accurate training.

▽Garage Door Two-Way Commu -
nication
HomeLink® has the capability of commu-
nicating with your garage door opener.
HomeLink® can receive and display
“closing” or “opening” status messages
from compatible garage door opener
systems. At any time, HomeLink
® can
also recall and display the last recorded
status communicated by the garage door
opener to indicate your garage door being
“closed” or “opened”. HomeLink
® has the capability of receiving

this communication from the garage door
opener at a range up to 820 feet (250 m).
Range may be reduced by obstacles such
as houses or trees. You may have to slow
your vehicle speed to successfully receive
the garage door opener communication.

The selected gear, from “M1” to “M6”, will
be displayed on the combination meter.NOTE In the following situations, tempo-
rary manual mode will be cancelled. - When the vehicle speed is low
- When the accelerator pedal is
depressed continuously for a
certain amount of time or more
- When the accelerator pedal is
depressed heavily
- When the select lever is shifted
to a position other than “D”
- When the “+” shift paddle switch
is held down for a period of time
When a downshift is attempted at a
vehicle speed where a downshift is not
possible (when the engine speed
would enter the red zone if a downshift
is performed), the downshift warning
buzzer will sound to inform the driver
that a downshift cannot be performed.■ Driving TipsNOTEIf the accelerator and brake pedals are
depressed at the same time, driving
torque may be restrained. This is not a
malfunction.
 On a road surface where there is a risk
of wheelspin (for example, a snow- or gravel covered road), you can start off

from a standstill safely and easily by first
selecting Snow mode.
 Always apply the foot or parking brake
when the vehicle is stopped in the “D” or
“R” position.
 Make sure to apply the parking brake
when parking your vehicle. Do not hold
the vehicle with only the transmission.
 Do not keep the vehicle in a stationary
position on an uphill grade by using the
“D” position. Use the brake instead.
 The engine may, on rare occasions,
knock when the vehicle rapidly acceler-
ates or rapidly pulls away from a standstill.
This phenomenon does not indicate a
malfunction.
