NOTE:Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and
taillights of vehicles in the field of view will cause
headlights to remain on longer (closer to the vehicle).
Also, dirt, film, and other obstructions on the windshield
or camera lens will cause the system to function improp-
erly.
Instrument Panel and Interior Lights
When the multi-function control lever is in the parklight,
headlight, or A (Auto) position (if equipped), rotating the
center portion of the lever up and down will increase and
decrease the brightness (dimmer control) of the instru-
ment panel lights. Full daytime brightness on all elec-
tronic displays (odometer, overhead console, radio, and
Automatic Climate Control (if equipped) is obtained by
rotating the center portion of the control to the first
detent above the dimmer range. Rotating the control to
the second detent above the dimmer range turns the
interior lights on. Rotating the control to the “Off”
(extreme bottom) position disables all the interior lights,even when the doors and liftgate are open. While in the
“Off” position the instrument panel lighting is at the
lowest light level and may not be suitable for night
driving.
Daytime Running Lights — Canada Only
The headlights come on at a low intensity level whenever
the engine is running. The lights remain on until the
ignition switch is turned OFF or the parking brake is
engaged. The headlight switch must be used for normal
night time driving.
Lights-On Reminder
If the headlights or parking lights are on after the ignition
is turned OFF, a chime will sound when the driver’s door
is opened.

When the ignition is changed to the RUN/ON position,
the warning display will turn ON all of its LEDs for
about 1 sec.
Each side of the warning display has 6 yellow and 2 red
LEDs. The vehicle is close to the obstacle when the red
LED is ON.
When the obstacle is detected at a distance of about 59
inches (150 cm) from the rear fascia, the outermost LEDs
of the warning display will be ON with increased bright-
ness. As the distance of the detected obstacle to the rear
fascia decreases, more LEDs are illuminated. The warn-
ing display will not actuate a tone when only yellow
LEDs are ON.
When the warning display has the first 7 LEDs ON,
including 1 red LED, the warning display will actuate an
intermittent tone for about 3 sec. The radio will be muted
while the tone is actuated.When the detected obstacle is about 11.8 inches (30 cm)
from the rear fascia, the warning display will actuate a
continuous tone for about 3 sec and it will turn ON all 8
LEDs, including both RED LEDs, on the corresponding
side of the display. The radio will be muted while the
tone is actuated.
When the obstacle is less than 11.8 inches (30 cm) from
the rear fascia, the warning display will either have all 8
LEDs ON (obstacle detected) or it will have only the
outermost LEDs ON with decreased brightness (obstacle
not detected), depending on the location of the obstacle.

Programming HomeLink
NOTE:When programming a garage door opener, it is
advised to park outside the garage. It is also recom-
mended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being programmed to
HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmis-
sion of the radio-frequency signal.
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) fea-
tures a driver-interactive display which includes
HomeLink system messages. The EVIC is located on the
bottom of the tachometer.

6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit)
in the garage, locate thelearnorsmartbutton. This
can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release thelearnorsmartbutton.
(The name and color of the button may vary by manu-
facturer.)
NOTE:There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step
eight.
8. Return to the vehicle and firmlypress, hold for two
seconds and releasethe programmed HomeLink button.
Repeat thepress/hold/releasesequence a second time,
and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener
(or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this
sequence a third time to complete the programming.
HomeLink should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.NOTE:To program the remaining two HomeLink but-
tons, begin withProgrammingstep two. Do not repeat
step one. For questions or comments, please contact
HomeLink atwww.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515.
Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals totime-out(or quit) after several seconds of
transmission which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming.
Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed totime-outin the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
programming a gate operator by using theProgram-
mingprocedures (regardless of where you live),replace
Programming HomeLinkstep 3with the following:
NOTE:If programming a garage door opener or gate
operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the
cyclingprocess to prevent possible overheating.
