Passenger Airbag Status
Indicator
The vehicle has a passenger
sensing system. SeePassenger
Sensing System on page 3‑39
for important safety information.
The overhead console has a
passenger airbag status indicator.
United States
Canada and Mexico When the vehicle is started, the
passenger airbag status indicator
will light ON and OFF, or the symbol
for on and off, for several seconds
as a system check. If you are using
remote start, if equipped, to start the
vehicle from a distance you may not
see the system check. Then, after
several more seconds, the status
indicator will light either ON or OFF,
or either the on or off symbol to let
you know the status of the right front
passenger frontal and seat‐mounted
side impact airbag.
If the word ON or the on symbol is
lit on the passenger airbag status
indicator, it means that the right
front passenger frontal airbag and
seat‐mounted side impact airbag
are enabled (may inflate).
If the word OFF or the off symbol
is lit on the passenger airbag
status indicator, it means that the
passenger sensing system has
turned off the right front passenger
frontal and seat‐mounted side
impact airbag. If, after several seconds, both
status indicator lights remain on,
or if there are no lights at all, there
may be a problem with the lights
or the passenger sensing system.
See your dealer for service.
{WARNING
If the airbag readiness light ever
comes on and stays on, it means
that something may be wrong
with the airbag system. To help
avoid injury to yourself or others,
have the vehicle serviced right
away. See
Airbag Readiness
Light on page 5‑17 for more
information, including important
safety information.

Universal Remote System
Programming
If the vehicle has this feature,
you will see these buttons with one
LED indicator next to them in the
headliner. This system provides a way to
replace up to three remote control
transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and
home automation devices.
Do not use the Universal Home
Remote with any garage door
opener that does not have the stop
and reverse feature. This includes
any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely
before attempting to program
the Universal Home Remote.
Because of the steps involved, it
may be helpful to have another
person available to assist you with
programming the Universal Home
Remote.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other vehicles
as well as for future Universal
Home Remote programming. It is
also recommended that upon the
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
Universal Home Remote buttons
be erased for security purposes.
See
“Erasing Universal Home
Remote Buttons” later in this
section.
When programming a garage door,
park outside of the garage. Park
directly in line with and facing the
garage door opener motor-head
or gate motor-head. Be sure that
people and objects are clear of
the garage door or gate being
programmed.
It is recommended that a new
battery be installed in your
hand-held transmitter for quicker
and more accurate transmission
of the radio-frequency signal.

Programming the Universal
Home Remote System
For questions or help programming
the Universal Home Remote
System, call 1‐800‐355‐3515
or go to www.homelink.com.
Programming a garage door opener
involves time-sensitive actions, so
read the entire procedure before
starting. Otherwise, the device will
time out and the procedure will have
to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. Hold the end of yourhand-held transmitter about
3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) away
from the Universal Home
Remote buttons while keeping
the indicator light in view.
The hand-held transmitter was
supplied by the manufacturer
of your garage door opener
receiver (motor-head unit). 2. At the same time, press
and hold both the hand-held
transmitter button and one
of the three Universal Home
Remote buttons to be used
to operate the garage door.
Do not release the Universal
Home Remote button or the
hand-held transmitter button
until the indicator light changes
from a slowly to a rapidly
flashing light. You now may
release both buttons.
Some entry gates and
garage door openers may
require substitution of Step 2
with the procedure noted in
“Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this
section.
3. Press and hold for five seconds the newly-trained Universal
Home Remote button (the button selected in Step 2)
while observing the indicator
light and garage door activation..If the indicator light stays
on continuously or the
garage door starts to move
when the Universal Home
Remote button is pressed
and released, then the
programming is complete.
There is no need to
continue programming
Steps 4 through 6.
.If the Universal Home
Remote indicator
light blinks rapidly for
two seconds, then turns
to a constant light and the
garage door does not
move, continue with the
programming Steps 4
through 6.
It may be helpful to have
another person assist with
the remaining Steps 4
through 6.
