· Replacing distributor ignition components e.g. plugs, coil, etc.
· Do not touch any part of the distributor ignition system while the engine is running. This may result in unintended
movements and body injury.
Replacing spark plugs
The spark plugs should be changed every 30,000 miles (48,000 km). However, city driving or fast highway driving
may necessitate changing after 15,000 miles (24,000 km) of driving. When installing new plugs, be sure to fit the right
type and use correct torque, see "Specifications". When changing the plugs, check that the suppressor connectors are in
good condition. Cracked or damaged connectors should be replaced. When changing the spark plugs, clean the
terminals and the rubber seals.

information label. The label is located on the inside of the fuel filler flap. The label lists both tire and vehicle design
limits. Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires will reduce tire life, adversely affect vehicle handling and can possibly lead to failure
resulting in loss of vehicle control without prior warning.

(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.
