Keys and doors/Remote keyless entry system
l’utilisateur de l ’appareil doit accepter
tout brouillage radioélectrique subi,
même si le brouillage est susceptible
d ’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system ”, the access
key is used as the transmitter for the
remote keyless entry system. For models
without “keyless access with push-button
start system” , the transmitter for the
remote keyless entry system is located
inside the key head.
The remote keyless entry system has the
following functions.
. Locking and unlocking the doors (and
rear gate) without a key
. Unlocking the rear gate without a key
. Sounding a panic alarm
. Arming and disarming the alarm sys-
tem. For detailed information, refer to
“Alarm system ”F 2-25.
The operable distance of the remote
keyless entry system is approximately 30
feet (10 meters). However, this distance
will vary depending on environmental
conditions. The system ’s operable dis-
tance will be shorter in areas near a
facility or electronic equipment emitting
strong radio waves such as a power plant,
broadcast station, TV tower, or remote controller of home electronic appliances.
NOTE
.
For models with “keyless access
with push-button start system ”,the
remote keyless entry system will not
be activated when the push-button
ignition switch is in any position other
than the “OFF ”position.
. For models without “keyless access
with push-button start system ”,the
remote keyless entry system will not
be activated when the key is inserted in
the ignition switch.

! HomeLink
®Wireless Control Sys-
tem
The HomeLink
®Wireless Control System
provides a convenient way to replace up
to three hand-held radio-frequency re-
motes used to activate devices such as
gate operators, garage door openers,
entry door locks, security systems, even
home lighting. The below steps are
generic programming instructions; for
Genie and Sommer garage door openers
please go directly to the HomeLink web-
site. Additional information and program-
ming videos can be found at
www.HomeLink.com and
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex.
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 gar-
age door opener model manufac-
tured 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 train-
ing.
. Some vehicles may require the
ignition switch to be turned to the
“ON ”or “ACC ”position for pro-
gramming and/or operation of
HomeLink.
. Keep the hand-held remote (gar-
age door opener remote) of the
device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as
for future HomeLink program-
ming. It is also suggested that
upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons
be erased for security purposes.
Refer to
“Erasing HomeLink But-
tons ”F 3-113.
! Programming a New HomeLink
Button
1) Indicator Light
2) HomeLink Buttons
1. Press and release the HomeLink
button that you would like to program.
The HomeLink indicator light will flash
orange slowly (if not, refer to “Erasing
HomeLink Buttons ”F 3-113).

!Gate Operator / Canadian Pro-
gramming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter remote signals to “time-out ”
(or quit) after several seconds of transmis-
sion, which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are de-
signed to “time-out”in the same manner.
The indicator LED on the hand-held
remote will go off when the device times
out, indicating that it has finished transmit-
ting.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the program-
ming procedures, replace “Programming a
New HomeLink Button ”step 3 with the
following:
While the HomeLink indicator light is
flashing orange, press and release (“cy-
cle ”) your device ’s hand-held remote
every two seconds until the HomeLink
indicator light changes from orange to
green. You may now release the hand-
held remote button.
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the
“cycling ”pro-
cess to prevent possible overheating.
Proceed with “Programming a New
HomeLink Button ”step 4 to complete.
! Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and release the
programmed HomeLink button. Activation
will now occur for the trained device (i.e.
garage door opener, gate operator, secur-
ity system, entry door lock, home/office
lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-
held remote of the device may also be
used at any time.
!Erasing HomeLink Buttons
To erase programming from the three
buttons (individual buttons cannot be
erased but can be “reprogrammed”as
outlined below), follow the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink
buttons for at least 10 seconds. The LED
indicator will change from continuously lit
to rapidly flashing. Release both buttons.
Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.
HomeLink is now ready to be programmed
at any time beginning with “Programming
a New HomeLink Button ”- step 1. !
Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink Button
To program a previously trained button,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to slowly
flash orange after 20 seconds. The
HomeLink button can be released at this
point. Proceed with “Programming a New
HomeLink Button ”- step 3.
3. If you do not complete the program-
ming of a new device to the button, it will
revert to the previously stored program-
ming.
!Garage Door Two-Way Commu-
nication
HomeLink has the capability of commu-
nicating with your garage door opener.
HomeLink can receive and display “clos-
ing ”or “opening ”status messages from
compatible garage door opener systems.
At any time, HomeLink can also recall and
display the last recorded status commu-
nicated 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).

&Tips for operating the audio/
visual system
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the audio/visual
system:
. Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio/visual system.
. Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the disc
slot.
NOTE
The use of a cell phone inside or near
the vehicle may cause a noise from the
speakers of the audio/visual system
which you are listening to. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.
! Radio
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with the
radio —it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or phone wires can interfere with AM
signals. And of course, radio signals have
a limited range. The farther the vehicle is from a station, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception problems
that probably do not indicate a problem
with the radio are described.
!FM
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by
distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for 2 signals to reach
the vehicle’ s antenna at the same time. If
this happens, the signals will cancel each
other out, causing a momentary flutter or
loss of reception.
Static and fluttering: These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping: If the FM signal being
listened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again. !
AM
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere —especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected
signal and a signal received directly from
a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static: AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening or electrical
motors. This results in static.
!SiriusXM (if equipped)
. Cargo loaded on the roof luggage
carrier, especially metal objects, may
adversely affect the reception of SiriusXM
Satellite Radio.
. Alternation or modifications carried out
without appropriate authorization may in-
validate the user ’s right to operate the
equipment.
