WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming theuniversal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and can
cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.
NOTE:
• 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 inf ormation orassistance.
• If you are having difficulty programming your HomeLink
®and your garage door opener
was manufactured after 1995, you may have a rolling code. Follow the steps below for
Programming A Rolling Code System.
Programming A Rolling Code System
• At the garage door opener motor (in the gara ge), locate the “learn” or “programming”
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 “programming” 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 programming.
Using HomeLink®
• To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink®button and the
programmed 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.

NOTE:There are two jack engagement locations on each side of the vehicle body. These
locations are on the sill flange of the vehicle body.
• Place the jack:
• Rear jack locations are between a pair of down-facing tabs on the sill flange of thevehicle side body.
• Front jack locations are on the sill flange of the vehicle side body and align with front door edges.
• Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.
• Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and cause
an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only
enough to remove the tire.
• Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the wheel. Lightly tight en the lug nuts clockwise. To avoid
the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the vehicle
has been lowered.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

OPENING THE HOOD
• Pull the hood release lever locatedon the instrument panel, below the steering
column.
• Raise the hood and locate the safety catc h lever, in the middle of the hood opening.
• Move the safety latch while lifting the hood at the same time.
• Insert the support rod into the slot on the hood.
• To close the hood, remove the support rod and place it in the retaining clip, then lower the hood slowly.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the hood is not fully
latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision. Failure to
follow this warning could result in serious injury or death.
ADDING FUEL
Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap)
• The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. If the
gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the
replacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
• Tighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that
the gas cap is properly tightened. If not
properly tightened, the MIL (Malfunction
Indicator Light) may come on.
NOTE: The driver’s side sliding door cannot be opened while the fuel door is open.
CAUTION!
• Damage to the fuel system or emissions control sy stem could result from using an
improper gas cap. A poorly fitting cap could le t impurities into the fuel system and
may cause the MIL to turn on, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
