The spare wheel is located under the carpet on the trunk floor. The jack and crank are secured in the wheel recess.
· Engage the parking brake.
· Put the gear selector in (P)ark (automatic) or in Reverse (manual).
· With the car still on the ground, use the lug wrench to loosen the wheel bolts 1/2 1 turn. Turn the bolts
counterclocKWise to loosen.
· Fold out the crank handle on the jack by pressing the knob on the handle downward. To attach the jack, refer to the
illustration on the following page.
CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that
came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
NOTE: To avoid excessive wear and the necessity of rebalancing, mark and reinstall wheels in the same location and
position as before removal. To lessen the chance of imbalance, each wheel hub is equipped with a guide stud to ensure
that a removed wheel can be reinstalled in its original position (as when changing over to winter tires/wheels).
pg. 83 Wheel changing
There is a jack attachment located in the center on each side of the car. Position the jack on the bar in the attachment
as shown in illustration above and crank while simultaneously guiding the base of the jack to the ground. The base of
the jack must be flat on a level, firm, non-slippery surface. Before raising the car, check that the jack is still
correctly positioned in the attachment. Raise the vehicle until both wheels on the side of the car where the jack is
attached are lifted off the ground. Unscrew the wheel bolts completely and carefully remove the wheel so as not to
damage the thread on the studs.
Installing the wheel
Clean the contact surfaces on the wheel and
hub. Lift the wheel and place it on the hub. Make sure that you align the wheel with the guide stud on the wheel hub
prior to installation. Install the wheel bolts crosswise (see illustration) and tighten by turning lightly clocKWise. Lower
the vehicle to the ground and alternately tighten the bolts to 100 ft. lbs. (136 Nm). Install the wheel cap (where
applicable).

CAUTION: The car must not be driven with wheels of different dimensions or with a spare tire other than the one that
came with the car. The use of different size wheels can seriously damage your car's transmission.
WARNING!
Current legislation prohibits the use of the "Temporary Spare" tire other than as a temporary replacement for a
punctured tire. In other words, it must be replaced as soon as possible by a standard tire. Roadholding, etc., may be
affected with the "Temporary Spare" in use. Do not, therefore, exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

Washing the car
· The car should be washed at regular intervals since dirt, dust, insects and tar spots adhere to the paint and may cause
damage.
NOTE: It is particularly important to wash the car frequently in the wintertime to prevent corrosion, when salt has
been used on the roads.
· When washing the car, do not expose it to direct sunlight. Use lukewarm water to soften the dirt before you wash
with a sponge, and plenty of water, to avoid scratching.
· Bird droppings: Remove from paintwork as soon as possible. Otherwise the finish may be permanently damaged.
· A detergent can be used to facilitate the softening of dirt and oil.
· A water-soluble grease solvent may be used in cases of sticky dirt. However, use a wash place equipped with a
drainage separator.
· Dry the car with a clean chamois and remember to clean the drain holes in the doors and rocker panels *.
· The power radio antenna must be dried after washing.
· Tar spots can be removed with kerosene or tar remover after the car has been washed.
· A stiff-bristle brush and lukewarm soapy water can be used to clean the wiper blades. Frequent cleaning improves
visibility considerably.
· Wash off the dirt from the underside (wheel housings, fenders, etc.).
· In areas of high industrial fallout, more frequent washing is recommended.
CAUTION: During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer to the vehicle than 13" (30
cm). Do not spray into the locks.
· When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam directly on the electrical components or
toward the rear side of the engine.
· After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for water and blown dry if necessary.
Suitable detergents
Special car washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture is about 2.5 fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US
gal. (10 liters) of warm water. After washing with a detergent the car should be well rinsed with clean water.
WARNING!
· When the car is driven immediately after being washed, apply the brakes several times in order to remove any
moisture from the brake linings.
· Engine cleaning agents should not be used when the engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

pg. 110 Servicing
Hoisting the car
If a garage jack is used to lift the car, the two jack attachments points should be used. They are specially reinforced to
bear the weight of the car. A garage jack can also be placed under the front of the engine support frame and under the
reinforced plate in the spare wheel well. Take care not to damage the splash guard under the engine. Ensure that the
jack is positioned so that the car cannot slide off it. Always use axle stands or similar structures.
If a twopost hoist is used to lift the car, the front lift arm pads should be positioned under the rear engine frame

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
pg. 186 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
This transceiver allows you to replace 3 hand -held transmitters with a single built-in device which can be installed in
your car on a sun visor or overhead console. This feature "learns" the radio frequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate garage doors, driveway gates, security lighting and home security systems. This transceiver is
powered by your car's electrical system.
NOTE: As a security precaution, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if the car has
been locked from the outside .
Programming the transceiver
1. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels by holding down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the
illustration above) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver until the indicator light on the transceiver begins to flash,
after approximately 20 seconds.
Release the buttons.
2. Hold the end of your hand -held transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface, keeping the
indicator light in view. For placement questions, please contact HomeLink® at
1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the hand -held transmitter button and the HomeLink® button to be
programmed. Do not release the buttons until this step has been completed.
The HomeLink® indicator light will begin to flash, first slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly
ProCarManuals.com
Page 77 of 89
(indicating that the HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed), both buttons may be released.
The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way.
If, after several attempts, you do not successfully program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn the signal of
the hand -held transmitter, refer to the section "Programming rolling codes" or call the toll-free customer assistance
number: 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
WARNING!
· If you use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to open a garage door or gate, be sure that no one is near the gate
or door while it is in motion.
· Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and "reverse"
features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before
April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does
not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of
serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink.jci.com).
pg. 187 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
NOTE - Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand -held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To train your hand -held
transmitter, continue to hold the HomeLink® button (see steps 2, 3 under "Programming the transceiver") while you
press and repress ("cycle") your hand -held transmitter button every two seconds until the frequency signal has been
learned. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly to indicate that the HomeLink® button has
been successfully programmed.
Programming rolling codes
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after
1996:
· Refer to the garage door opener's owner's manual for verification.
· The hand -held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the transceiver does not
activate the garage door.
· Press the programmed HomeLink® button. The garage door opener has the rolling code feature if the HomeLink®
indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a garage door opener with the rolling code feature , follow these instructions after the transceiver has been
programmed (the aid of a second person may make the training quicker and easier):
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit . The exact location and color of the button
may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call: 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.jci.com).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
3. Firmly press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the HomeLink® button a second
time to complete the training process.
