heater is operated while the engine is
not running.
O Do not use the seat heater for extended
periods or when no one is using the seat.
O Do not put anything on the seat which in-
sulates heat, such as a blanket, cushion,
seat cover, etc. Otherwise, the seat may
become overheated.
O Do not place anything hard or heavy on
the seat or pierce it with a pin or similar
object. This may result in damage to the
heater.

should be removed immediately with a
dry cloth.
O When cleaning the seat, never use gaso-
line, benzine, thinner, or any similar

CAUTIONWhen turning the vehicle in SNOW mode on
paved roads, you may feel a braking effect.
This is a normal condition of the AWD model.
The vehicle should be driven with the Ve-
hicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for
most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is de-
pressed to the floor. If maximum engine
power is needed to free a stuck vehicle,
turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the Vehicle Dynamic Control
(VDC) system, push the VDC OFF switch (lo-
cated on the lower side of the instrument
panel). The indicator will come on. Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart
the engine to turn on the system. See
ªVehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) systemº

WARNINGO Do not use the HomeLink Universal
Transceiver with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse features
as required by federal safety standards.
(These standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after April 1,
1982.) A garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death.
O During the programming procedure, your
garage door or security gate will open or
close (if the transmitter is within range).
Make sure that people or objects are clear
of the garage door, gate, etc. that you are
programming.
O Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver. PROGRAMMING HomeLink To program your HomeLink Transceiver
to operate a garage door, gate, or entry
door opener, home or office lighting, you
need to be at the same location as the
device. Note: Garage door openers (manu-
factured after 1996) have ªrolling code
protectionº. To program a garage door
opener equipped with ªrolling code pro-
tectionº; you will need to use a ladder to
get up to the garage door opener motor to
be able to access the ªtrainingº program
button.
1. To begin, push and hold the 2 outer
HomeLink buttons (to clear the
memory) until the indicator light
q A
blinks (after 20 seconds). Release both
buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held trans-
mitte r1-3 inches (26 - 76 mm) away
from the HomeLink
surface. SIC3012
