WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are training theuniversal transceiver. Do not train the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate. Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener
that has a “stop and reverse” feature as required by Federal safety standards.
This includes most garage door opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not
use a garage door opener without these safety features. Call toll-free
1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet, at www.HomeLink.com for safety
information or assistance.
• Vehicle exhaust contains Carbon Monoxide (CO), a dangerous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage while training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause
serious injury or death.
NOTE: If you are having difficulty training your HomeLink
®and your garage door
was manufactured after 1995, you may have a rolling code system. Follow the steps
below for programming a rolling code system.
Programming A Rolling Code System
• At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “learn” or “training” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to
the garage door opener motor (it is NOT the button normally used to open and
close the door).
• Firmly press and release the “learn” or “training” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. Within 30 seconds, return to the vehicle and
press the programmed HomeLink
®button twice (holding the button for two
seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is
complete.
• If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete the training.
Using HomeLink®
• To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink®button and the
trained device will operate.
• Refer to your Owner’s Manual on the DVD for further details. If you have any problems programming HomeLink
®, or require assistance, please call toll-free
1–800–355–3515, or on the Internet, at www.HomeLink.com.
POWER OUTLET
• There are two 12 Volt electrical outlets on this vehicle.
• The outlet on the front console has power available only when the ignition is in the ON position. If desired, this outlet can be converted by your authorized dealer to
provide power with the ignition switch in the LOCK position.

• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening thegas cap, see your authorized dealer.
Oil Change Indicator
Message
• If an “oil change” message (shown as CHAngE OIL) appears and a single chimesounds, it is time for your next required oil change.
Resetting The Light After Servicing
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine).
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating bytaking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat
condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to floor and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a
supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling
system.
• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening forincreased leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The
correct wheel nut tightness is 100 ft lbs (135 N•m). If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at
a service station.
WARNING!
To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be
stowed with the valve stem facing the ground.
• Secure the tire, jack (base of jack faces rear of vehicle), and tools in their proper locations.
TIREFIT Instructions
TIREFIT will temporarily seal small punctures up to1⁄4in.(6 mm) in the tire tread
allowing you to drive your vehicle up to 100 mi (160 km) with a maximum speed of
55 mph (88 km/hr). TIREFIT can be used in outside temperatures down to
approximately -4°F (-20°C).
NOTE: Do not remove foreign objects (e.g., screws or nails) from the tire.
The TIREFIT kit is located in the trunk.
• Verify that the valve stem is close to the ground.
• Put on the gloves from the TIREFIT Kit Accessory Storage Compartment.
• Turn the Mode Select knob to the Sealant Mode position
.
• Remove the Yellow Cap from the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose.
• Remove the valve stem cap and screw the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose onto the valve stem.
• Insert the Power Plug into the vehicle’s 12-volt power outlet.
• Start the engine and then press the Power button
. The sealant (white fluid) will
flow from the Sealant Bottle through the Clear Sealant Hose and into the tire.
NOTE:
• Sealant may leak out through the puncture in the tire.
• If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow withi n0–10seconds through the Clear
Sealant Hose: • Press the Power button
to turn OFF the TIREFIT kit.
• Disconnect the Clear Sealant Hose and make sure the valve stem is free of debris.
• Repeat previous steps to verify sealant will flow, making sure the Mode Select knob is in Sealant Mode
.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• Continue to operate the pump until sealant is no longer flowing through the hose(typically takes 30 - 70 seconds). As the sealant flows through the Clear Sealant
Hose, the pressure gauge can read as high as 70 psi. The pressure gauge will
decrease quickly from approximately 70 psi to the actual tire pressure when the
sealant bottle is empty.
• The pump will start to inject air into the tire immediately after the sealant bottle is empty. Continue to operate the pump and inflate the tire to the pressure indicated
on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver’s side door opening. Check
the tire pressure by looking at the pressure gauge.
NOTE: If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi pressure within 15 minutes, the
tire is too badly damaged. Do not attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for
assistance.
• If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure or is at least 26 psi pressure within 15 minutes, press the Power button
to turn off the TIREFIT kit.
• Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the top of the Sealant Bottle and place the sticker on the steering wheel.
• Immediately disconnect the Clear Sealant Hose from the valve stem, reinstall the Yellow Cap on the fitting at the end of the hose, and place the TIREFIT kit in the
vehicle storage location. Quickly proceed to the next step.
CAUTION!
• The metal end fitting from the Power Plug and Cable may get hot after use andshould be handled carefully.
• Failure to reinstall the Yellow Cap on the fitting at the end of the Clear Sealant Hose can result in sealant contacting your skin, clothing, and the vehicle’s
interior. It can also result in sealan t contacting internal TIREFIT kit components
which may cause permanent damage to the kit.
• Immediately after injecting sealant and inflating the tire, drive the vehicle 5 mi (8 km) or 10 minutes to ensure distribution of the TIREFIT Sealant within the tire.
Do not exceed 55 mph (88 km/h).
• Pull over and repeat Preparations for Jacking or Tire Repair.
• Turn the Mode Select knob to the Air Mode position
.
• Connect the Black Air Pump Hose to the valve stem.
• Check the pressure in the tire by reading the Pressure Gauge.
NOTE: If tire pressure is less than 19 psi, the tire is too badly damaged. Do not
attempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for assistance.
• If the tire pressure is 19 psi or higher, press the Power button
and inflate the tire
to the pressure indicated on the Tire and Loading Information label on the driver’s
side door opening.
• Disconnect the TIREFIT kit from the valve stem and then reinstall the valve stem cap.
