RADIO RECEPTION FACTORS
There are three factors that can affect radio reception:
²Distance/strength: The further you travel from an FM station, the
weaker the signal and the weaker the reception.
²Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall buildings, power lines, electric fences,
traffic lights and thunderstorms can interfere with your reception.
²Station overload: When you pass a broadcast tower, a stronger signal
may overtake a weaker one and play while the weak station frequency
is displayed.
CASSETTE/PLAYER CARE
Do:
²Use only cassettes that are 90 minutes long or less.
²Tighten very loose tapes by inserting a finger or pencil into the hole
and turning the hub.
²Remove loose labels before inserting tapes.
²Allow tapes which have been subjected to extreme heat, humidity or
cold to reach a moderate temperature before playing.
²Clean the cassette player head with a cassette cleaning cartridge after
10±12 hours of play to maintain good sound/operation.
Don't:
²Expose tapes to direct sunlight, extreme humidity, heat or cold.
²Leave tapes in the cassette player for a long time when not being
played.
CD/CD PLAYER CARE
Do:
²Handle discs by their edges only. Never touch the playing surface.
²Inspect discs before playing. Clean only with an approved CD cleaner
and wipe from the center out.
Don't:
²Expose discs to direct sunlight or heat sources for extended periods
of time.
²Insert more than one disc into each slot of the CD changer magazine.

The center console offers several useful storage features. These include:
1. Cupholders
2. Tissue holder in lid
3. Power point
4. Large utility compartment has
Coin holder slots, PalmPiloty/PDA

CELL PHONE USE
The use of Mobile Communications Equipment has become increasingly
important in the conduct of business and personal affairs. However,
drivers must not compromise their own or others' safety when using
such equipment. Mobile Communications can enhance personal safety
and security when appropriately used, particularly in emergency
situations. Safety must be paramount when using mobile communications
equipment to avoid negating these benefits.
Mobile Communication Equipment includes, but is not limited to cellular
phones, pagers, portable email devices, in vehicle communications
systems, telematics devices and portable two-way radios.
A driver's first responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle.
The most important thing you can do to prevent a crash is to
avoid distractions and pay attention to the road. Wait until it is safe to
operate Mobile Communications Equipment.

HOMELINKTWIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The HomeLinktWireless Control System, located on the driver's visor,
provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinktWireless Control System to
a garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLinktWireless Control System with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by
U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot
detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact
HomeLinktat:www.homelink.comor1±800±355±3515.
Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLinktequipped vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed Homelinktbuttons be erased for security purposes, refer to
Programmingin this section.
Programming
Do not program HomeLinktwith the vehicle parked in the garage.
Note:Your vehicle may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
ACC position for programming and/or operation of the HomeLinkt.Itis

program additional hand-held
transmitters to the remaining two
HomeLinktbuttons. This will erase
previously programmed hand-held
transmitter signals into HomeLinkt.
2. Position the end of your
hand-held transmitter 2±8 cm (1±3 inches) away from the HomeLinkt
button you wish to program (located on your visor) while keeping the
red light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLinktand hand-held
transmitter button.Do not release
the buttons until step 4 has been
completed.
Some entry gates and garage door
openers may require you to replace
step 3 with procedures noted in the
ªGate Operator and Canadian Programmingº section for Canadian
residents.
4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons
when the red light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light indicates
acceptance of the hand-held transmitters' radio frequency signals.)
5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinktbutton and observe the red
light. If the light is a constant red, programming is complete and your
device should activate when the HomeLinktbutton is pressed and
released.Note:To program the remaining two HomeLinktbuttons,
begin with step 2 in the ªProgrammingº section Ðdo notrepeat step 1.
Note:If the red light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a
continuous red, proceed with steps 6 through 8 to complete
programming of a rolling code equipped device.
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the ªlearnº or ªsmartº button (usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the unit).
