calibrated.
Note:If the RESET button is not pressed, the compass will exit
calibration mode after three minutes of no activity and the original
calibration data will be restored.
Note:If power is interrupted during the calibration process, the compass
resets to the original calibration data from before the calibration process
started.
HomeLinkwireless control system (if equipped)
The HomeLinkWireless Control System, located on the overhead
console, provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held
transmitters with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinkWireless Control System to a
garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of the way
to prevent potential harm or damage. Do not use the HomeLink
Wireless Control System with any garage door opener that lacks safety
stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal safety standards
(this includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April
1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect an object, signaling the
door to stop and reverse, does not meet current U.S. federal safety
standards. For more information, contact HomeLinkat:
www.homelink.comor1–800–355–3515.Retain the original
transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future programming
procedures (i.e. new HomeLinkequipped vehicle purchase). It is also
suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
buttons be erased for security purposes, refer toProgrammingin this
section.

3. Simultaneously press and hold
both the HomeLinkand hand-held
transmitter button. The message
CHANNEL “X” (1,2 or 3) TRAINING
will appear on the display.Do not
release the buttons until step 4
has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to replace
step 3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” section for Canadian residents.
4. When the message CHANNEL “X”
(1,2 or 3) TRAINED appears on the
display, release both the HomeLink
and hand held transmitter buttons.
•DID NOT TRAIN will be displayed
if the channel did not properly
train.
5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkbutton and observe the
HomeLinkhouse icon on the display. If the indicator light(s)
underneath the house icon are constant, programming is complete and
your device should activate when the HomeLinkbutton is pressed and
released.Note:To program the remaining two HomeLinkbuttons,
begin with step 2 in the “Programming” section —do notrepeat step 1.

If the indicator light(s) underneath the house icon blink rapidly for two
seconds and then turn to a continuous light, proceed with steps 6
through 8 to complete programming of a rolling code equipped device.
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,
locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the unit).
7. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color
of the button may vary by manufacturer.)
Note:There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight.
8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLinkbutton. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence
again, 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.
HomeLinkshould now activate your rolling code equipped device. To
program additional HomeLinkbuttons begin with step 2 in the
“Programming” section. For questions or comments, please contact
HomeLink atwww.homelink.comor1–800–355–3515.
Gate operator & Canadian programming
During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting — not allowing enough time for HomeLinkto accept the
signal from the hand-held transmitter.
After completing steps 1 and 2 outlined in the “Programming” section,
replace step 3 with the following:
Note:If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is
advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent
overheating.
•Continue to press and hold the
HomeLinkbutton (note step 3
in the “Programming” section)
while you press and release —
every two seconds(“cycle”)
your hand-held transmitter until
the frequency signal has been
accepted by the HomeLink. The
message CHANNEL “X” (1,2 or 3)
TRAINING will appear on the
display.
•Proceed with step 4 in the “Programming” section.

AUXILIARY POWER POINT (12VDC)
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert
any other object in the power outlet as this will damage the
outlet and blow the fuse. Do not hang any type of accessory or
accessory bracket from the plug. Improper use of the power
outlet can cause damage not covered by your warranty.
The auxiliary power point is located under the cup holder and ashtray
drawer in the center stack. The auxiliary power point for five passenger
vehicles is located in the floor console storage bin.
Do not use the power point for operating the cigarette lighter element
(if equipped).
To prevent the fuse from being blown, do not use the power point(s)
over the vehicle capacity of 12 VDC/180W. If the power point or cigar
lighter socket is not working, a fuse may have blown. Refer toFuses and
Relaysin theRoadside Emergencieschapter for information on
checking and replacing fuses.
