such as installing a ski rack or a CB
antenna. Body repair work on the vehicle
can also cause changes to the vehicle's
magnetic field. In these situations, the
compass will need to be re-calibrated to

calibrate the compass: 1. Press and hold the button for more
than 6 seconds. When the compass
memory is cleared a "C" will appear in
the display.

Integrated HomeLink
®Wireless Control
System
The HomeLink® Wireless Control
System provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held radio-fre-
quency (RF) transmitters with a single
built-in device. This innovative feature will
learn the radio frequency codes of most
current transmitters to operate devices
such as gate operators, garage door
openers, entry door locks, security sys-
tems, even home lighting. Both standard
and rolling code-equipped transmitters
can be programmed by following the out-
lined procedures. Additional HomeLink
®
information can be found at: www.home-
link.com or by calling 1-800-355-3515. Retain the original transmitter of the RF
device you are programming for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink
®programming. It is also sug-
gested that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
®buttons be
erased for security purposes.
CAUTION
Before programming HomeLink®to
a garage door opener or gate oper- ator, make sure that people and objects are out of the way of thedevice to prevent potential harm ordamage. Do not use HomeLink
®
with any garage door opener thatlacks the safety stop and reverse features required by U.S. federalsafety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manu-factured before April 1, 1982). Agarage door that cannot detect anobject - signaling the door to stop and reverse - does not meet currentU.S. federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without thesefeatures increases the risk of seri- ous injury or death.

tance to empty based on the current fuel
in the fuel tank and the amount of fuel
delivered to the engine. When the

Fuel economy (if equipped)
Average fuel consumption
(MPG orl/100km)

reset. The total fuel used is calculated
from the fuel economy input. For an
accurate calculation, drive more than
0.03 miles (50 m).
Pressing the RESET button for more than
1 second, when the average fuel econo-
my is being displayed, clears the average
fuel economy to zero (----).

(1km/h) after being refueled with more
than 1.6 gallons (6 l), the average fuel
economy will be cleared to zero (----).
