CAUTION!
l Engine damage will occur if water is drawn into the air cleaner.
l If the vehicle is driven through water deeper than 9 in (25 cm), water\
may enter the differential and
the transmission. This reduces the oil's lubricating capacity and may sh\
orten the service life of these
components.
l Do not allow the vehicle to stand in water up to the door sills longer t\
han absolutely necessary.
This could result in electrical malfunctions.
l If the engine has been stopped while the car is in water, do not attempt\
to restart the engine. Have
the car towed out of the water.

CAUTION!
During high pressure washing, the spray mouthpiece must never be closer \
to the vehicle than 13" (30

When washing or steam cleaning the engine, avoid spraying water or steam\
directly on the electrical
components or toward the rear side of the engine.
Special moonroof cautions:
l Always close the moonroof and sun shade before washing your vehicle.
l Never use abrasive cleaning agents on the moonroof.
l Never use wax on the rubber seals around the moonroof.
l After cleaning the engine, the spark plug wells should be inspected for \
water and blown dry if
necessary.
Suitable detergents: Special vehicle washing detergents should be used. A suitable mixture i\
s about 2.5
fl. oz. (8.5 cl) of detergent to 2.6 US gal. (10 liters) of warm wat\
er. After washing with a detergent the
vehicle should be well rinsed with clean water.
Exterior plastic components
Cleaning exterior plastic components should be done with a cleaning agen\

NOTE: When washing the vehicle, remember to remove dirt from the drain holes \
in the doors and sills.
WARNING!
When the vehicle is driven immediately after being washed, apply the bra\
kes several times in order to
remove any moisture from the brake linings. Engine cleaning agents shoul\
d not be used when the
engine is warm. This constitutes a fire risk.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the c\
odes of three different remote
controlled-devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry d\
oor lock). HomeLink®'s sun visor-
mounted transceiver, powered by your vehicle's electrical system, may th\
en be used in place of your
hand-held remote controls.
NOTE: For your security, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed t\
o not function if you lock
your vehicle from the outside.
Programming the transceiver
- The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) \
before programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

- Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two out\
side buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in
the illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 2\
0 seconds, until HomeLink®'s
indicator light begins to flash. Then release the buttons.
- Hold your hand-held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2 \
to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from
the HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For place\
ment questions, contact
HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink.com).
- Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's butto\
n and the transceiver button
you wish to program.
The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashin\
g tells you the HomeLink® button
has been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.
- If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage d\
oor opener or entry door lock),
refer to "Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the pr\
ogramming process.
Repeat the third and fourth steps to program the other two transceiver b\
uttons.
If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the Hom\
eLink® Universal Transceiver to
learn your hand-held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-fre\
e 1-800-355-3515 (Internet:
www.
HomeLink.com).

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
WARNING!
If you use HomeLink® to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is\
near the gate or door while it
is in motion.
Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door o\
pener that lacks safety
"stop" and "reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (\
This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982) A garage door opener th\
at cannot "detect" an
object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does not meet curren\
t federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of \
serious injury or death. For
more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Interne\
t:
www.HomeLink.com).
NOTE: Canadian residents: During programming, your hand-held transmitter may \
automatically stop
transmitting. To successfully train HomeLink®, continue to hold the H\
omeLink® button. At the same
time, repeatedly press and hold your handheld transmitter's button at tw\
o-second intervals until
HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink® indic\
ator light will flash first slowly,
and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully progr\
ammed.
