Charge air cooler (Intercooler)
Turbocharged engines employ a turbo-compressor to force air into the eng\
ine inlet manifold and a
charge air cooler to cool the compressed inlet air. The resulting increa\
se in air flow raises pressure in the
intake manifold and increases engine power over that developed by A norm\
ally-aspirated engine. The
charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the \
turbo-compressor and inlet
manifold.

ns:
1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).
2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Trans\
ceiver for about 20 seconds,

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button until step 3 has been
completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after approximately\
20 seconds), position your hand-
held transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® su\
rface.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. The HomeLink® ind\
icator light will flash first
slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release \
both buttons.
The previously programmed device has now been erased and the new device \
can be activated by
pressing the HomeLink® button that has just been programmed. This pro\
cedure will not affect any other
programmed HomeLink® buttons.
