2-57 ªRolling Codeº Programming (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the HomeLink Transmitter, see ªProgramming
the HomeLink

Transmitterº listed previously. If you have
completed this programming already, you now need to train
the garage door opener motor head unit to recognize the
HomeLink Transmitter. Refer to your garage door opener
owner's manual for the proper transmitter training procedure
for your garage door opener brand.
1. Find the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. The exact location and color of the
button may vary by garage door opener brand. If you
have difficulty finding the training button, refer to
your garage door opener owner's manual.
2. Press the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit.
Following this step, you have 30 seconds to start Step 3.
3. Return to the HomeLink Transmitter in your vehicle
and firmly press and release the HomeLink
Transmitter button you have already programmed for
two to three seconds. Press and release the button
again (you may need to do this step up to three
times) to make sure that the HomeLink Transmitter
has been trained to the garage door opener motor
head unit. Check that the training was successful.The garage door opener should now recognize the
HomeLink Transmitter. You may either use the
HomeLink Transmitter or the hand
-held transmitter to
open the garage door.
If after following these instructions, you still have
problems training the garage door opener,
contact the HomeLink Transmitter manufacturer

Instrument Panel Clusters
The instrument panel clusters are designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You'll know how
fast you're going, how much fuel you're using, and many other things you'll need to drive safely and economically.
Your vehicle is equipped with one of these instrument panel clusters, which includes indicator warning lights and
gages that are explained on the following pages.
Standard Cluster (United States version shown, Canada similar)

2-61
Cluster with DIC (United States version shown, Canada similar)

2-62
Cluster with DIC and Boost Gage (United States version shown, Canada similar)

2-63 Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in miles per
hour (mph) or kilometers per hour (km/h). Your
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
The speedometer shows a top speed of 140 mph
(220 km/h). This is not intended to be the vehicle's
top speed.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tamper resistant
odometer. If you see ERROR displayed, you'll know
that someone has probably tried to turn it back.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle needs a
new odometer installed. If the new one can be set to the
mileage total of the old odometer, then it must be. But if
it can't, then it's set at zero and a label must be put on
the driver's door to show the old mileage reading when
the new odometer was installed.
Trip Odometer
The trip odometer can tell you how far you have driven
since you last reset it.
To set it to zero, press
the trip reset button
next to the instrument
panel cluster on the
right side.
Tachometer
The tachometer shows your
engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm). Do not
run your engine at speeds
in the red area.

Warning Lights, Gages
and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle's functions. As you
will see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they're working. If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle's functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there's a problem with your vehicle.When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about it. Please follow this manual's advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They're a big help.
Your vehicle may also have a Driver Information Center
that works along with the warning lights and gages.
See ªDriver Information Centerº in the Index.
The volume of your vehicle's warning chimes can be
adjusted. For more information see ªChime Level
Adjustmentº in the Index.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will
come on for about eight seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts.
The safety belt light will
also come on and either stay
on for about 20 seconds,
then flash for about
55 seconds, or stay on for
about 65 seconds.
