Push the headlight switch again to turn the
interior lights off.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT
SYSTEM (Canada only)
The headlights automatically illuminate at a
reduced intensity when the engine is started
with the parking brake released. The day-
time running lights operate with the head-
light switch in the OFF position or in the
position. Turn the headlight switch to
theposition for full illumination when
driving at night.
If the parking brake is applied before the
engine is started, the daytime running lights
do not illuminate. The daytime running lights
illuminate once the parking brake is released.
The daytime running lights will remain on until
the ignition switch is turned OFF.
WARNING
When the daytime running light system
is active, tail lights on your vehicle will
not be on. It is necessary at dusk to
turn on your headlights. Failure to do
so could cause an accident injuring
yourself and others.The autolamp system allows the headlights
to be set so they turn on and off automati-
cally. The autolamp system can turn on the
headlights automatically when it is dark,
turn off the headlights when it is light, and
keep the headlights on for up to three
minutes after you turn the key to OFF.
To set the autolamp system:
1. Make sure the headlight switch is in the
AUTO1 or AUTO2 position.
2. Turn the ignition key to ON.
3. The autolamp system automatically turns
the headlights on and off.
Shut-off delay
The length of time the headlights stay on
after the ignition is turned to OFF depends
on whether the switch is in the AUTO1 or
AUTO2 position. If the switch is in the
AUTO1 position, then the headlights stay on
for less than 1 minute after the ignition is
turned OFF. If the switch is in the AUTO2
position, the headlights stay on approxi-
mately 3 minutes after the ignition is turned
OFF.
To turn the autolamp system off, turn the
switch to the OFF,
,orposition.AIC1058

Be sure you do not put anything on top
of the photo sensor located in the top left
side of the instrument panel. The photo
sensor controls the autolamp; if it is
covered, the photo sensor reacts as if it
is dark out and the headlights will illumi-
nate.Turn signal
Move the lever up or down to signal the
turning direction. When the turn is com-
pleted, the turn signal cancels automati-
cally.
Lane change signal
To indicate a lane change, move the lever
up or down to the point where the light
begins to flash, but the lever does not latch.
Passing signal
Pulling the lever toward you turns the head-
light high beam on. Release it and the
headlight high beam goes off.The cornering light provides additional illu-
mination toward the turning direction. The
light on the turning direction side comes on
when a turn is signaled with the headlights
on.

The interior lights, the cargo light, the glove
box light, the stepwell lights near the sliding
doors and on the front doors, and the foot-
well lights near the driver's and front pas-
senger's feet illuminate when the front or
sliding doors are opened. Once the doors
are closed, these lights gradually dim to off
within 30 seconds or turn off immediately
when the key is turned to the ON position.
Battery saver
If the vehicle doors are not fully closed and
the interior lights remain illuminated, they
eventually turn off automatically to prevent
the battery from becoming discharged. If the
interior lights are left in the ON position, with
all doors closed, they will automatically turn
off after approximately 30 minutes. Lights
that illuminate when the front or sliding
doors are opened turn off after approxi-
mately 30 minutes. Lights that illuminate
when the back door is opened turn off after
approximately 60 minutes. Vanity mirror
lights are not part of the battery saver
system.
If the personal reading lights are left on after
the key is removed from the ignition, they
will automatically turn off after approxi-
mately 30 minutes.Some vehicles are equipped with an addi-
tional storage compartment in the map light
unit. This storage compartment has been
specially designed to hold some garage
door transmitters. Some transmitters may
not fit. When properly installed, the garage
door transmitter can be activated while it is
within the storage compartment.

The Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver provides a convenient way to consoli-
date the functions of up to three individual
hand-held transmitters into one built-in de-
vice.
cThe Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver will operate garage doors,
gates, home/office lighting systems and
security systems by storing and transmit-
ting the programming information of your
current hand-held transmitters.
c
The Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver is built-in and powered by
your vehicle's battery and charging sys-
tem. No separate batteries are necessary.
WARNING
Do not use this Integrated HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by federal
safety standards (these standards be-
came effective for models manufac-
tured after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object
in the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse thedoor, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
PROGRAMMING THE HomeLinkT
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER
WARNING
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 transmit-
ter. The Integrated HomeLinkTUniver-
sal Transceiver may not work with
older garage door openers that do not
meet current Federal Consumer Safety
Standards.
1. Test the Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver by pressing any button. The
red indicator light should come on. If you
have previously programmed a button
proceed to step 3.
2. Clear all channels on the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver 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
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver but-
tons you want to program.
4. Hold your hand-held transmitter against
the bottom surface of the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver so
that you can still see the red indicator
light.5. Press the desired button until the red
indicator light flashes slowly. Do not re-
lease the button. Continue holding and
press the hand-held transmitter button
through step 6.
6. Hold down both buttons until the red
indicator light on the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
flashes rapidly (This may take 1 to 90
seconds). Then release both buttons.
The rapid flashing means that the trans-
ceiver has been successfully pro-
grammed to match your hand-held trans-
mitter. You can now use the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver in-
stead of your hand-held transmitter.
Note to Canadian users:
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
many hand-held transmitters to stop trans-
mitting after one or two seconds, even
though you continue to hold down the but-
ton. 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 Inte-
grated HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
button. The indicator light on the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver shouldblink rapidly indicating a successful pro-
gramming procedure. If it returns to the slow
blink of program mode, continue to periodi-
cally reactivate your hand-held transmitter
until a successful programming procedure
is indicated by the rapidly flashing indicator
light.
OPERATING THE TRANSCEIVER
To operate, simply press the appropriate
button on the Integrated HomeLinkTUniver-
sal Transceiver. The red indicator light illu-
minates while the signal is being transmit-
ted. The effective transmission range of the
Integrated HomeLinkTUniversal Trans-
ceiver may differ from your hand-held trans-
mitter.
PROGRAMMING PROBLEM
DIAGNOSIS
Be sure to keep your original hand-held
transmitter for possible reprogramming if
necessary.
cMake sure batteries in the hand-held
transmitter are fully charged.
cHold your hand-held transmitter against
the bottom surface of the Integrated
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver so
