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.

RECREATIONAL TOWING
(BEHIND MOTORHOME,
ETC.)
Towing - Two-Wheel Drive
Models
• Recreational towing is allowed ONLY ifthe driveshaft is removed. Towing with
the rear wheels on the ground while
the driveshaft is connected can result
in severe transmission damage.
WARNING!
If the driveshaft is removed, the
vehicle can roll even if the
transmission is in PARK, which could
cause serious injury or death.
• The parking brake must be firmly engaged and the wheels chocked
during driveshaft removal and
installation. The parking brake must
remain engaged unless the vehicle is
securely and properly connected to the
tow vehicle, or the driveshaft is
completely reinstalled. See your
authorized dealer for proper driveshaft
removal and reinstallation procedures,
including flange orientation/alignment,
use of thread-locking compound,
proper bolt torque specifications, etc.
Towing - Quadra-Trac I®
(Single-Speed Transfer Case)
Four-Wheel Drive Models
• Recreational towing is not allowed. Thismodel does not have a NEUTRAL
position in the transfer case.
Towing - Quadra-Trac II®
/Quadra-Drive II®Four-Wheel
Drive Models
• Depress the brake pedal and turn the
ignition switch ON with the engine shut
off.
• Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
• Shift the transfer case into NEUTRAL by holding down the NEUTRAL Pin
switch for four seconds until the LED
starts to blink. The LED will stop
blinking and remain on when the shift
is complete.
• Start the engine and shift into DRIVE to ensure there is no vehicle movement.
• Shut the engine off and shift the transmission into PARK.
• Place the ignition switch in the OFF position and remove the key.
• Apply the parking brake, attach the vehicle to the tow vehicle with a tow
bar and release the parking brake.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

UTILITY
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle theignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the
PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing
when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience
reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing.
- Airbag Warning Light
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommendyou drive to the nearest Service Center and have the system serviced as soon as
possible.
Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message
• If a “gas cap” message (shown as Check Gascap) appears, tighten the gas cap until a“clicking” sound is heard.
• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the gas cap, see your authorized dealer.
Oil Change Indicator
Message
• If an “oil change” message (shown as Oil Change Required) 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 by takingthe 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.
