NOTE:When driving uphill, at elevations above 2,000
ft. (610 meters), or when the vehicle is heavily loaded
(especially when towing) the vehicle may slow below the
SET speed. (If the vehicle speed drops below 30 mph (48
km/h), the Speed Control will automatically disengage).
If this happens, you can push down on the accelerator
pedal to maintain the desired speed.
A full throttle (high RPM) acceleration, while the system
is engaged, will cause the system to disengage.

shifts and to improve vehicle performance, it is advisable
to lock out overdrive. Press the O/D OFF button on the
right side of the shift lever.WARNING!
Leaving the Speed Control on when not in use is
dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or
cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose
control and have an accident. Always turn the system
off when you are not using it.

CAUTION!
Changes or modifications not expressively approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user's authority to operate this equipment.
GARAGE DOOR OPENER Ð IF EQUIPPED
Equipped in vehicles that have the optional Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)
The HomeLinktWireless Control System provides a
convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-
frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate devices such
as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks,
security systems, even home lighting. Additional
HomeLink information can be found at:
www.homelink.comor by calling1-800-355-3515.
WARNING!
Before programming HomeLink to a garage door
opener or gate operator, make sure that people and
objects are out of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. When programming a
garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of
the garage. Do not use HomeLink with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse fea-
tures as required by U.S. federal safety standards
(this includes any garage door opener model manu-
factured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that
cannot detect an object - signaling the door to stop
and reverse - does not meet current U.S. federal
safety standards. For more information, contact
HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or by calling:
1-800-355-3515.

Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are
programming for use in other vehicles as well as for
future HomeLink programming. It is also suggested that
upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
buttons be erased for security purposes. To erase the
programmed buttons, perform the procedure shown
below under9When Your Vehicle Is New9, or, for assis-
tance, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.comor by

When Your Vehicle Is New
Prior to programming HomeLink for the first time the
factory test codes must be erased. To erase HomeLink
memory, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons
(buttons one and three). The message CLEARING
CHANNELS will appear on the HomeLink display. After
approximately 20 seconds, the message CHANNELS
CLEARED will appear on the EVIC display. Do not hold
the buttons for longer than 30 seconds.
Programming HomeLink
NOTE:It is recommended that a new battery be placed
in the hand-held transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio frequency signal.
WARNING!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger-
ous gas. Do not run the vehicle's engine while
programming HomeLink. Exhaust gas can cause se-
rious injury or death.
