HOMELINKWIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The HomeLink
Wireless Control System, located on the overhead
console or on the driver’s visor, provides a convenient way to replace up
to three hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device. This feature
will learn the radio frequency codes of most transmitters to operate
garage doors, entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks,
and home or office lighting.

During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting — not allowing enough time for HomeLink
to accept the
signal from the hand-held transmitter.
After completing Step 1 outlined in theProgrammingsection, replace
Step 2 with the following:
Note:If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is
advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent
overheating.
•Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
button (note Step 2 in the
Programmingsection) while you press and release —every two
seconds(“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency
signal has been accepted by the HomeLink
. The indicator light will
flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink
accepts the radio
frequency signal.
•Proceed with Step 3 in theProgrammingsection.

Compass display (if equipped)
The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large
buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antenna. Magnetic
or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may also affect
compass accuracy.
Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass will
correct itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normal
conditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manual
calibration may be necessary. Refer toCompass zone/calibration
adjustment.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer toCompass zone or calibration adjustment.
Note:Compass zone and calibration adjustments can be entered by
using the INFO and SETUP MENU controls.
Compass zone adjustment (if equipped)
1. Determine your magnetic zone by
referring to the zone map.
2. Turn ignition to the on position.
3. Start the engine.
4. From SETUP MENU, select
compass zone.
5. Press RESET control until the
message center display changes to
show the current zone setting (XX).
