The damping force of the shock absorbers can
be adjusted to the level you desire.
Set the switch to the position you desire ac-
cording to driving conditions.
The sport position is best used for off road
driving. The comfort position is best used for
normal driving.
When the sport position is used, the indicator
on the switch comes on.The Integrated HomeLink
TMTransmitter pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
THE INTEGRATED HomeLinkTM
TRANSMITTER:
Iwill operate garage doors, gates, home/
office lighting systems and security sys-
tems by storing and transmitting the pro-
gramming information of your current hand-
held transmitters.
Iis built-in and powered by your vehicle's
battery and charging system. No separate
batteries are necessary.
Do not use this Integrated HomeLinkTM
Transmitter with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards (these standards be-
came effective for models manufactured
on April 1, 1982). A garage door opener
which cannot ªdetectº an object in the
path of a closing garage door and then
automatically stop and reverse the door,
does not meet current federal safetystandards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the risk
of serious injury or death.

PROGRAMMING THE HomeLinkTM
TRANSMITTER
During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming your transmitter.The Integrated HomeLink
TMTransmitter
may not work with older garage door
openers that do not meet current Fed-
eral Consumer Safety Standards.
1. Test the Integrated HomeLinkTMTransmit-
ter by pressing any button. The red indica-
tor light should come on. If you have previ-
ously programmed a button proceed to step
3.
2. Clear all channels on the Integrated
HomeLink
TMTransmitter by holding down
both outside buttons (#1 & #3) until the red
light begins to flash rapidly (approximately
20 seconds). Then release both buttons.
3. Select which of the three Integrated
HomeLink
TMTransmitter buttons you want
to program.
4. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter
against the bottom surface of the Integrated
HomeLink
TMTransmitter so that you can
still see the red indicator light.
5. Press the desired button until the red indi-
cator light flashes slowly. Do not release
the button. Continue holding and press the
hand-held transmitter button through step
6.
6. Hold down both buttons until the red indi-cator light on the Integrated HomeLink
TM
Transmitter flashes rapidly (This may take
10-90 seconds). Then release both buttons.
The rapid flashing means that the transmit-
ter has been successfully programmed to
match your hand-held transmitter. You can
now use the Integrated HomeLink
TMTrans-
mitter instead of your hand-held transmitter.
Note to Canadian users:
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
many hand-held transmitters to stop transmit-
ting after one or two seconds, even though you
continue to hold down the button. If you think
you have one of these hand-held transmitters,
you should press and re-press the transmitter
button every 2 seconds without ever releasing
the integrated HomeLink
TMTransmitter but-
ton. The indicator light on the Integrated
HomeLink
TMTransmitter should blink rapidly
indicating a successful programming proce-
dure. If it returns to the slow blink of program
mode, continue to periodically reactivate your
hand-held transmitter until a successful pro-
gramming procedure is indicated by the rapidly
flashing indicator light.

OPERATING THE TRANSMITTER
To operate, simply press the appropriate but-
ton on the Integrated HomeLinkTMTransmit-
ter. The red indicator light illuminates while the
signal is being transmitted. The effective trans-
mission range of the Integrated HomeLink
TM
Transmitter may differ from your hand-held
transmitter.
PROGRAMMING PROBLEM
DIAGNOSIS
Be sure to keep your original hand-held trans-
mitter for possible reprogramming if neces-
sary.
IMake sure batteries in the hand-held trans-
mitter are fully charged.
IHold the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the Integrated
HomeLink
TMTransmitter so that you can
still see the red indicator light.
IHold buttons for duration of the program-
ming without interruption.
IRotate your hand-held transmitter end-
over-end and program again. For best re-
sults, place the end opposite the battery
compartment against the Integrated
HomeLink
TMTransmitter when program-
ming.
CLEARING THE PROGRAMMING
INFORMATION
To clear the Integrated HomeLinkTMTransmit-
ter of all previous programming information,
simultaneously hold down the outside two but-
tons (#1 & #3) until the red indicator light
begins to flash rapidly (approximately 20 sec-
onds). This will clear all three buttons. Indi-
vidual buttons cannot be cleared, but can be
reprogrammed at any time by following the
programming procedures described above.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS EVER
STOLEN
If your vehicle has been stolen, you should
change the codes of any device that was
programmed into the Integrated HomeLink
TM
Transmitter as soon as possible. Consult the
owners manual of each device, or call the
manufacturer or dealer of those devices.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will
have to reprogram the Integrated
HomeLink
TMTransmitter with your new
transmitter information.
