l Keep your engine properly tuned. Certain engine malfunctions, particular\
ly involving the electrical,
fuel or distributor ignition systems, may cause unusually high three-way\
catalytic converter
temperatures. Do not continue to operate your vehicle if you detect engi\
ne misfire, noticeable loss of
power or other unusual operating conditions, such as engine overheating \
or backfiring. A properly tuned
engine will help avoid malfunctions that could damage the three-way cata\
lytic converter.
l Do not park your vehicle over combustible materials, such as grass or le\
aves, which can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system and cause such materials to ignite u\
nder certain wind and weather
conditions.
l Excessive starter cranking (in excess of one minute), or an intermitte\
ntly firing or flooded engine can
cause three-way catalytic converter or exhaust system overheating.
l Remember that tampering or unauthorized modifications to the engine, the\
Electronic Control
Module, or the vehicle may be illegal and can cause three-way catalytic \
converter or exhaust system
overheating. This includes:
- Altering fuel injection setting or components.
- Altering emission system components or location or removing components\
.
- Repeated use of leaded fuel.
NOTE: Unleaded fuel is required for vehicles with three-way catalytic converte\
rs.

Compression ratio 9.0:1 8.5:1
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 the no\
rmally-aspirated engine. The
charge air cooler (which resembles a radiator) is located between the \
turbo-compressor and inlet
manifold.
Fuel system
The engine is equipped with a multiport fuel injection system.

l Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
l If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Univer\
sal Transceiver but the
programmed button does not activate the garage door, your garage door op\
ener may have a rolling code.
l Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has \

HomeLink® indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily aft\
er approximately 2 seconds.
To train a rolling code garage door opener,

on according to "Programming
the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit.\
The location and color of the

ld now operate your garage
door opener. The original hand-held transmitter can also be used, as des\
ired, to operate the garage door.
The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way\
. In the event of any
problems in programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call tol\
l-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).

the engine must be running. Press
the programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway\
gate, security lighting, home
security system, etc.

2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Trans\
ceiver for about 20 seconds,
until HomeLink®'s indicator light begins to flash.
