Driving tips
BEFORE DRIVING
Before entering vehicle:
• Be sure that all windows, outside mir-ror(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 inspections
Fluid levels, such as engine oil, engine
coolant, brake fluid, and washer fluid
should be checked on a regular basis,
with the exact interval depending on the
fluid. Further details are provided in
Section 7, Maintenance.
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 famil-
iar with your vehicle and its equipment.WARNING- Driving under
the influence of alcohol or
drugs
Drinking and driving i s dangerous.
Drunk driving is the number one
contributor to the highway death
toll each year. Even a small amount
of alcohol will affect your reflexe s,
perceptions and judgement.
You are much more likely to have a
serious accident if you drink and
drive.
If you are drinking or taking drug s,
don’t drive. Do not ride with a driv-
er who has been drinking or taking
drugs. Choose a designated driver
or call a cab.
Driving while under the influence of
drugs i s as dangerous or more dan-
gerou s than driving drunk.

HomeLink button up to three times.
The rolling code equipped device
should now recognize the HomeLink
signal and activate when the
HomeLink button is pressed. The
remaining two buttons may now be
programmed if this has not previously
been done. Refer to the
“Programming” portion of this text.Operating HomeLink
To operate, simply press the pro-
grammed HomeLink button. Activation
will now occur for the trained product
(garage door, security system, entry door
lock, estate gate, or home or office light-
ing). For convenience, the hand-held
transmitter of the device may also be
used at any time. The HomeLink
Wireless Controls System (once pro-
grammed) or the original hand-held
transmitter may be used to activate the
device (e.g. garage door, entry door lock,
etc.). In the event that there are still pro-
gramming difficulties, contact HomeLink
at 1-800-355-3515 or on the internet at
www.homelink.com.
Erasing programmed HomeLink
buttons
To erase the three programmed buttons
(individual buttons cannot be erased):
• Press and hold the left and centerbuttons simultaniously, until the indica-
tor light begins to flash (approximately
20 seconds). Release both buttons. Do
not hold for longer than 30 seconds.
HomeLink is now in the train (or learning)
mode and can be programmed at any
time.

In case of an emergency
Power connector
Your vehicle is equipped with a power connector to prevent bat-
tery discharge if your vehicle is parked without being operated
for prolonged periods. Use the following procedures before
parking the vehicle for prolonged period.
1. Turn off the engine.
2. Turn off the headlights and tail lights.
3. Open the driver-side knee bolster cover and pull up the“POWER/CONN”.
✽NOTICE
 If the power connector is pulled up from the fuse panel, the
warning chime, AV system, clock and intetrior lamps, etc.,
will not operate. Some items must be reset after replace-
ment.
 Even though the power connector is pulled up, the battery can still be discharged by operation of the headlights or
other electrical devices.

LUBRICANTS AND FLUIDS
Checking the washer fluid level
The reservoir is translucent so that you
can check the level with a quick visual
inspection.
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain
water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold cli-
mates to prevent freezing.
Body lubrication
All moving points of the body, such as
door hinges, hood hinges, and locks,
should be lubricated each time the
engine oil is changed. Use a non-freez-
ing lubricant on locks during cold weath-
er.
Make sure the engine hood secondary
latch keeps the hood from opening when
the primary latch is released.WARNING
• Do not use radiator coolant or
antifreeze in the was her fluid
reservoir.
• Radiator coolant can s everely
obscure visibility when sprayed
on the wind shield and may cau se
loss of vehicle control or damage
to paint and body trim.
•Wind shield Washer fluid agents
contain some amounts of alcohol
and can be flammable under cer-
tain circumstances. Do not allow
sparks or flame to contact the
washer fluid or the wa sher fluid
reservoir. Damage to the vehicle
or it's occupants could occur.
•Wind shield washer fluid is poi-
sonous to humans and animals.
Do not drink and avoid contacting
windshield washer fluid. Seriou s
injury or death could occur.
