Bounce-Back
When an obstacle has been detected in the window opening as the
window is moving upward, the window will automatically reverse
direction and move down. This is known as ªbounce-backº. If the ignition
is turned OFF (without accessory delay being active) during
bounce-back, the window will move down until the bounce back position
is reached.
Security Override
If during a bounce-back condition, the switch is released to the neutral
position, then held in the one touch up position within two seconds after
the window reaches the bounce-back position,the window will travel
up with no bounce-back protection.If the switch is released before
the window reaches fully closed or the ignition is turned OFF (without
accessory delay being active), the window will stop. Security override
can be used if there is ice on the window or seals, causing a restriction.
Window lock
The window lock feature allows only
the driver to operate the rear power
windows.
To lock out the rear window
controls push the control down. To
restore the rear window controls,

will spring back up to the neutral
position.

With accessory delay, the radio, windows, and moonroof operate for up
to ten minutes after the ignition switch is turned from the ON to the
OFF position or until any door is opened.
MIRRORS

HOMELINKTWIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM
The HomeLinktWireless Control System, located on the overhead
console, provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held

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:Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
second (or ªACCº) position for programming and/or operation of the
HomeLinkt. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinktfor
quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Press and hold the two outside
buttons releasing only when the red
light begins to flash after 20
seconds.Do notrepeat step one to
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 HomeLinktbutton you wish to program (located
on your overhead console) while keeping the red light in view.

Gate Operator & Canadian Programming
During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may
automatically stop transmitting Ð
not allowing enough time for
HomeLinktto accept the signal
from the hand-held transmitter.
After completing steps 1 and 2
outlined in theªProgrammingº
section, replace step 3 with the
following:
Note:If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is
advised to unplug the device during the ªcyclingº process to prevent
overheating.
²Continue to press and hold the HomeLinktbutton (note step 3 in the
ªProgrammingº section) while you press and release Ðevery two
seconds(ªcycleº) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency
signal has been accepted by the HomeLinkt. The red indicator light
will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLinktaccepts the radio
frequency signal.
²Proceed with step 4 in the ªProgrammingº section.
Operating the HomeLinkTWireless Control System
To operate, simply press and release
the appropriate HomeLinktbutton.
Activation will now occur for the
trained product (garage door, gate
operator, security system, entry
door lock, or home or office lighting
etc.). For convenience, the
hand-held transmitter of the device
may also be used at any time. In the
event that there are still
programming difficulties, contact
HomeLinktatwww.homelink.comor1±800±355±3515.

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.
