Your vehicle is equipped with an interior rear view mirror which has an

the normal (high reflective) state to the non-glare (darkened) state
when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the mirror detects

Do not block the sensors on the front and back of the interior
rear view mirror since this may impair proper mirror
performance.

abrasives, fuel or other petroleum-based cleaning products.

•When this feature is disabled (OFF), the running boards will move to
the stowed position regardless of the position of the doors.
•When this feature is enabled (AUTO), the running boards will move
back to the correct positions based off of the door positions.
Bounce-back:
•If an object is in the way of the moving running board, the running
board will automatically bounce back in the reverse direction and
move to the end of travel.
Note:The running boards may operate slower in cooler temperatures. In
adverse conditions, debris such as mud, dirt, and salt may become
trapped in the running board mechanism, possibly leading to unwanted
noise. If this occurs, manually set the running boards to the deployed
position and flush the system (in particular the front and rear hinge
arms) with a high-pressure car wash wand.
Note:Do not use the running boards, front and rear hinge assemblies,
running board motors, or the running board under body mounts to lift
the vehicle when jacking. Please utilize proper jacking points. Refer to
Changing the tiresin theRoadside Emergencieschapter.
WARNING:In extreme climates, excessive ice buildup may
occur, causing the running boards not to deploy. Be sure that the
running boards have deployed, and have finished moving before
attempting to step on them. Note: The running boards will resume
normal function once the blockage is cleared.
WARNING:Turn off the running boards before jacking or
placing any object under the vehicle. Never place your hand
between the extended running board and the vehicle. A moving
running board may cause injury.
SPEED CONTROL
With speed control set, you can maintain a set speed without keeping
your foot on the accelerator pedal.
WARNING:Do not use the speed control in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, slippery or unpaved.

System
HomeLinkWireless Control System (if equipped)
The HomeLinkWireless 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.
WARNING:When programming your HomeLinkWireless
Control System to a garage door or gate, be sure that people and
objects are out of the way to prevent potential injury or damage.
Do not use the HomeLinkWireless Control System with any garage
door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by
U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot
detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact
HomeLinkat:www.homelink.comor1–800–355–3515.
Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLinkequipped vehicle
purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed Homelinkbuttons be erased for security purposes, refer to
Programmingin this section.
