Remove the piece of self-sticking Velcro?
2. Peel the protective backing from the Velcro
and press it firmly to the back of your garage
door opener.
3. Line up the button of the garage door opener with
one of the four buttons
on the compartment door.
Make sure the garage door opener button is facing
down and press the opener firmly into place.
4. Once the opener is installed, use the black pegs
inside the compartment door to make sure the
lined area on the compartment door will contact
the control button on your garage door opener
when pressed.

Care of Your Compact Disc Player
The use of CD lens cleaner discs is not advised, due to
the risk of contaminating the lens of the CD optics with
lubricants internal to the
CD mechanism.
Integrated Windshield Antenna
The antenna in your vehicle is a very thin, metal layer in
the windshield. If you look near the edges of the
windshield, you can see the outline of the antenna. The
connector is at the top of the windshield, where the
headliner ends.
If you experience difficulty with remote transmitters,
such as a garage door opener,
try pointing the device
through the very top of the windshield.
