Safety features of your vehicle
C040900AEN-EUHow does the air bag system
operate Air bags are activated (able to inflate ifnecessary) only when the ignition
switch is turned to the ON or START
position.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of a serious frontal or side collision in
order to help protect the occupants
from serious physical injury.
There is no single speed at which the air bags will inflate.
Generally, air bags are designed to
inflate based upon the severity of a col-
lision and its direction. These two fac-
tors determine whether the sensors
produce an electronic deployment/
inflation signal.
Air bag deployment depends on a number of factors including vehicle
speed, angles of impact and the densi-
ty and stiffness of the vehicles or
objects which your vehicle hits in the
collision. The determining factors are
not limited to those mentioned above.
The front air bags will completely inflate and deflate in an instant.
It is virtually impossible for you to see
the air bags inflate during an accident. It is much more likely that you will sim-
ply see the deflated air bags hanging
out of their storage compartments after
the collision.
In order to help provide protection in a severe collision, the air bags must
inflate rapidly. The speed of air bag
inflation is a consequence of the
extremely short time in which a collision
occurs and the need to inflate the air
bag between the occupant and the
vehicle structures before the occupant
impacts those structures. This speed of
inflation reduces the risk of serious or
life-threatening injuries in a severe col-
lision and is thus a necessary part of air
bag design.
However, air bag inflation can also
cause injuries which can include facial
abrasions, bruises and broken bones
because the inflation speed also caus-
es the air bags to expand with a great
deal of force.
There are even circumstances under which contact with the steer-
ing wheel air bag can cause fatal
injuries, especially if the occupant
is positioned excessively close to
the steering wheel.
WARNING
To avoid severe personal injuryor death caused by deploying air
bags in a collision, the driver
should sit as far back from the
steering wheel air bag as possi-
ble (at least 250 mm (10 inches)
away). The front passengers
should always move their seats
as far back as possible and sit
back in their seat.
Air bags inflate instantly in the event of collision, and passen-
gers may be injured by the air bag
expansion force if they are not in
proper position.
Air bag inflation may cause injuries including facial or bodily
abrasions, injuries from broken
glasses or burns.

Integrated HomeLink
®Wireless Control
System
The HomeLink® Wireless Control
System provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held radio-fre-
quency (RF) transmitters with a single
built-in device. This innovative feature will
learn the radio frequency codes of most
current transmitters to operate devices
such as gate operators, garage door
openers, entry door locks, security sys-
tems, even home lighting. Both standard
and rolling code-equipped transmitters
can be programmed by following the out-
lined procedures. Additional HomeLink
®
information can be found at: www.home-
link.com or by calling 1-800-355-3515. Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
®programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
®buttons be
erased for security purposes. Programming HomeLink
®
✽ ✽
NOTICE• When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park the vehi-
cle outside of the garage.
• It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmit-
ter of the device being programmed to
HomeLink
®for quicker training and
accurate transaxle of the radio-fre-
quency signal.
• Some vehicles may require the igni- tion switch to be turned to the second
(or "accessories") position for pro-
gramming and/or operation of
HomeLink.
• In the event that there are still pro- gramming difficulties or questions
after following the programming steps
listed below, contact HomeLink
®at:
www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-
3515.
CAUTION
Before programming HomeLink
®to
a garage door opener or gate oper- ator, make sure that people andobjects are out of the way of thedevice to prevent potential harm or damage. Do not use HomeLink®
with any garage door opener thatlacks the safety stop and reverse features required by U.S. federalsafety standards (this includes anygarage door opener model manu- factured before April 1, 1982). Agarage door that cannot detect anobject - signaling the door to stop and reverse - does not meet currentU.S. federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without thesefeatures increases the risk of seri- ous injury or death.

Standard programming
To train most devices, follow these
instructions:
1. For first-time programming, press andhold the two outside buttons,
HomeLink
®Channel 1 and Channel 3
Buttons, until the indicator light begins
to flash (after 20 seconds). Release
both buttons. Do not hold the buttons
for longer than 30 seconds.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 2-8 cm (1-3 inches) away
from the HomeLink
®buttons while
keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink
®and hand-held trans-
mitter button. DO NOT release the but-
tons until step 4 has been completed.
4. While continuing to hold the buttons the red Indicator Status LED will flash
slowly and then rapidly after
HomeLink
®successfully trains to the
frequency signal from the hand-held
transmitter. Release both buttons.
