Vehicles equipped with a manual transmission may need
to be shifted into a lower gear to climb hills without
speed loss.
WARNING!
Speed Control can be dangerous where the system
can't maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could
go too fast for the conditions, and you could lose
control. An accident could be the result. Don't use
Speed Control in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered, or slippery.
REAR PARK ASSIST SYSTEM Ð IF EQUIPPED
The Rear Park Assist System is a driver aid that senses for
obstacles behind the vehicle and provides both visible
and audible warnings to indicate the range of the object.
System Usage Precautions
NOTE:
²Ensure that the rear bumper is free of dirt and debris
to keep the Rear Park Assist System operating prop-
erly.

When the ignition is turned to the ON position, and the
system is enabled, the warning display will turn ON all
of its LEDs for approximately one second. Then, the
system dimly illuminates the two outer most yellow
LEDs when it is detecting no obstacles.The Rear Park Assist System is active when the ignition is
in the ON position, and the system is enabled, and the
driver shifts the transmission into the ªRº (Reverse)
position, and the vehicle speed is less than 11 mph (18
km/h). The following chart shows the warning display
operation when the system is detecting an obstacle:

WARNING!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger-
ous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage while
training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause seri-
ous injury or death.
Programming HomeLinkT
Before You Begin
If you have not trained any of the HomeLinktbuttons,
erase all channels before you begin training.
To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the red indicator flashes.
It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed
to HomeLinktfor more efficient training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal.Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage
when programming.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Hold the battery side of the hand-held transmitter
away from the HomeLinktbutton you wish to program.
Place the hand-held transmitter 1±3 inches (3±8 cm) away
from the HomeLinktbutton you wish to program while
keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the chosen
HomeLinktbutton and the hand-held transmitter button
until the HomeLinktindicator changes from a slow to a
rapidly blinking light, then release both the HomeLinkt
and hand-held transmitter buttons.
Watch for the HomeLinktindicator to change flash rates.
When it changes, it is programmed. It may take up to 30
seconds, or longer in rare cases. The garage door may
open & close while you train.

Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals to ªtime-outº (or quit) after several seconds of
transmission ± which may not be long enough for
HomeLinktto pick up the signal during programming.
Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to ªtime-outº in the same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage
door or gate motor.
If you are having difficulties programming a garage door
opener or a gate operator, replace ªProgramming
HomeLinktº Step 3 with the following:
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLinktbutton
while you press and release - every two seconds
(ªcycleº) your hand-held transmitter until HomeLinkthas successfully accepted the frequency signal. The
indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when
fully trained.
If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in
at this time.
Then proceed with Step 4 under ªProgramming
HomeLinkt.º earlier in this section.
Using HomeLinkT
To operate, simply press and release the programmed
HomeLinktbutton. Activation will now occur for the
trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting,
etc. The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be
used at any time.

6. Malfunction Indicator Light
This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system
called OBD that monitors emissions, engine, and
automatic transmission control systems. The light
will turn on when the key is in the ON position before
engine start. If the light does not turn on when turning
the key from LOCK or ACC to ON, have the condition
checked promptly.
Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap,
poor fuel quality, etc. may turn on the light after engine
start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on
through several of your typical driving cycles. In most
situations, the vehicle will drive normally and it will not
require towing.
If the Malfunction Indicator Light flashes when the
engine is running, serious conditions may exist that
could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalyticconverter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as
soon as possible if this occurs. (See page 399 for more
information.)
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause
damage to the engine control system. It also could
affect fuel economy and driveability.
If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter
damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate
service is required.
7. High Beam Indicator Light
This light shows that the headlights are on high
beam. Pull the Multi-Function Control Lever on
the left side of the steering column toward you to switch
to Low beam. (See page 133 for more information.)

cluster comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the
ªONº position. It should go out with the engine running.
If the ªESP/BAS Warning Lampº comes on continuously
with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected
in either the ESP or the BAS system, or both. If this light
remains on after the several ignition cycles, and the
vehicle has been driven several miles at speeds greater
than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as
soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and
corrected.(See page 314 for more information.)
NOTE:The ªESP/BAS Warning Lampº comes on mo-
mentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON.
NOTE:Each time the ignition switch is turned ON, the
ESP System will be ON even if it was turned off previ-
ously.
NOTE:The ESP Control System will make buzzing or
clicking sounds when it is active. This is normal; thesound will stop when the ESP becomes inactive following
a maneuver that caused the ESP activation.
21. SERV (Service) 4WD Indicator Light Ð If Equipped
The ªSERV 4WD Indicator Lightº will turn on
when the ignition key is turned to the ON
position and it will stay on for 2 seconds. If the
light stays on or turns on during driving, it
means that the 4WD system is not functioning properly
and that service is required.
22. Coolant Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condi-
tion. If the light turns on while driving, safely pull
over and stop the vehicle. If the air conditioner is
on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into ªNº
(Neutral) and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading
does not return to normal, turn the engine off immedi-
ately and call for service. (See page 384 for more infor-
mation.)
