DRIVING TIPS
5-4 Do not operate the vehicle when
there are signs of engine malfunction,
such as misfire or a noticeable loss of
performance.
Do not misuse or abuse the engine.
Examples of misuse are coasting
with the ignition off and descending
steep grades in gear with the ignition
off.
Do not operate the engine at high idle
speed for extended periods (5
minutes or more).
Do not modify or tamper with any
part of the engine or emission control
system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician.
Failure to observe the above precautions
could result in damage to the catalytic
converter and to your vehicle and could
void your warranties.
BEFORE DRIVINGBefore entering vehicle:
Be sure that all windows, outside
mirror(s), and outside lights are clean.
Check the condition of the tires.
Check under the vehicle for any sign
of leaks.
Be sure there are no obstacles behind
you if you intend to back up.NECESSARY
INSPECTIONSFluid levels, such as engine oil, engine
coolant, brake/clutch fluid, and washer
fluid should be checked on a regular
basis, with the exact interval depending
on the fluid. Further details are provided
in Maintenance, Section 7.
BEFORE STARTING Close and lock all doors.
Position the seat so that all controls
are easily reached.
Adjust the inside and outside
rearview mirrors.
Be sure that all lights work.
Check all gauges.
Check the operation of warning
lights when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position.
Release the parking brake and make
sure the brake warning light goes out.
For safe operation, be sure you are
familiar with your vehicle and its
equipment.

DRIVING TIPS
5-8
DRIVING AT NIGHTBecause night driving presents many
more hazards than driving in the
daylight, here are some important tips to
remember:
Slow down and keep more distance
between you and other vehicles as it
may be more difficult to see at night,
especially in rural areas where there
may not be any street lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the
glare from other driver’s headlights.
Keep your headlights clean and
properly aimed. Dirty or misaimed
headlights will make it much more
difficult to see at night.
Avoid staring directly at the
headlights of oncoming vehicles.
You could be temporarily blinded
and it will take several seconds for
your eyes to readjust to the darkness.
DRIVING IN THE RAINRain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not
prepared for the slick pavement. Here are
a few things to consider when driving in
the rain:
Be sure your windshield wipers are
in good condition.
A heavy rainfall will make it harder
to see and will increase the distance
needed to stop your vehicle, so slow
down.
If your tires aren’t in good condition,
making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be sure
your tires and windshield wipers are
in good shape.
Turn on your headlights to make it
easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large
puddles can affect your brakes. If
you must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
WARNING -
Spinning
Tires
Do not spin the wheels
especially at speeds more than
35 mph (56 km/h). Spinning the
wheels at high speeds when the
vehicle is stationary could
cause a tire to overheat,
explode and injure by standers.

CAUTION
Make sure people and/or objects
are out of the way of any garage

ProgrammingYour vehicles may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the "ACC"
position for programming and/or
operation of HomeLink. It is also
recommended that a new battery be
replaced in the hand-held transmitter of
the device being programmed to
HomeLink for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency.
Follow these steps to train your
HomeLink mirror:1. When programming the buttons for
the first time, press and hold the two
outside HomeLink buttons ( ,
), releasing when the
indicator light begins to flash
(approximately 20 seconds). This
procedure erases the factory-set
default codes. Do not perform this
step when programming additional
transmitters.
MMSA5005
WARNING
Do not use HomeLink with any
garage door opener that lacks
the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by federal
safety standards (includes
garage doors manufactured
before April 1, 1982), as these
doors can increase the risk of
serious injury or death. Call
1.800.355.3515 or visit
www.homelink.com for more
information.

2. Hold the transmitter of the device
you want to train 1 to 3 inches away
from the bottom of the mirror.
Simultaneously press the hand-held
transmitter button and the HomeLink
button you wish to train. The
indicator light will flash slowly at
first, then rapidly, indicating
successful programming.
3. If the garage door opener or other
device you wish to train is rolling-
code equipped, proceed to the
"Rolling Code Programming" section
below.
4. Repeat step 2 to program the
remaining HomeLink buttons.
Additional Programming for
Rolling Code DevicesFor any rolling-code-equipped device;
follow the steps below after completing
the "Programming" section. A second
person may make the following steps
easier.
1. Locate the "learn" or "smart" button
on the device's motor head unit. The
exact location and color of the button
varies by product brand, but is
usually referenced in the device's
owner's manual. Contact HomeLink
at 1.800.355.3515 or
www.homelink.com for help.
2. Press and release the "learn" or
"smart" button on the device's motor
head unit.3. Return to the vehicle and firmly press
and release the programmed
HomeLink button. Press and release
the same HomeLink button a second
time to complete the training process.
(Some devices may require you to
press and release a third time to
complete the training.)
4. Now your HomeLink mirror and the
rolling-code-equipped device should
be synchronized. The remaining
HomeLink buttons may now be
programmed if this has not been
done previously.
Operating HomeLinkSimply press the appropriate HomeLink
button to activate the trained product
(garage door, security system, entry door
lock, estate gate, lighting, etc.). The
original handheld transmitters may also
be used at any time.
