ROOF RACK (if so equipped)
Always distribute the luggage evenly on the roof
rack. Do not load more than 125 lb (56 kg) . Be
careful that your vehicle does not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or its
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR front and
rear) . The GVWR and GAWR are located on the
F.M.V.S.S. label (located on the driver’s door
pillar) . For more information regarding GVWR
and GAWR, refer to “Vehicle loading information”
in the “Technical and consumer information” sec-
tion later in this manual.
WARNING
cDrive extra carefully when the vehicle is
loaded at or near the cargo carrying
capacity, especially if the significant
portion of that load is carried on the
roof rack.
cHeavy loading of the roof rack has the
potential to affect the vehicle stability
and handling during sudden or abnor-
mal handling maneuvers.
cRoof rack load should be evenly
distributed.
cDo not exceed maximum roof rack load
weight capacity.
cProperly secure all cargo with ropes or
straps to help prevent it from sliding or
shifting. In a sudden stop or collision,
unsecured cargo could cause personal
injury.
CAUTION
Use care when placing or removing items
from the roof rack. If you cannot comfort-
ably lift the items onto the roof rack from
the ground, use a ladder or stool.

cDo not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls and become

CONSOLE LIGHT
The console lights1will turn on whenever the
parking lights or headlights are illuminated.
The console light brightness can be adjusted (if
so equipped) with the illumination brightness
control.The HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of up
to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver:
cWill operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and se-
curity systems.
cIs powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLinkTwill retain all program-
ming.
Once the HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(Example: new vehicle purchases) . Upon
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes. For
additional information refer to “Program-
ming HomeLinkT” later in this section.
WARNING
cDo not use the HomeLinkTUniversal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982) . A ga-
rage door opener which cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing garage
door and then automatically stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
cDuring the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range) . Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
cYour vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLinkT
Universal Transceiver.

WARNING
cAlways have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat belts,
this provides greater safety in the event
of an accident by helping to prevent
persons from being thrown from the
vehicle. This also helps keep children
and others from unintentionally open-
ing the doors, and will help keep out
intruders.
cBefore opening any door, always look
for and avoid oncoming traffic.
cDo not leave children unattended inside
the vehicle. They could unknowingly ac-
tivate switches or controls. Unattended
children could become involved in seri-
ous accidents.
cAlways be sure that hands and feet are
clear of the door frame to avoid injury
while closing a sliding door.
CAUTION
cAlways use the door handle to open or
close a sliding door. Do not attempt to
open or close the doors by merely plac-
ing your hand on the door edge or door
slide roller, as this may cause injury.
cWhen opening a sliding door on a slope,
ensure that it is fully open and that it
does not close by itself.
LOCKING WITH KEY

unlock all doors at the same time.
Turning the key toward the front
s1of the vehicle
