to rest” indicator activates. You can set the
time for up to 6 hours. (See “Trip
computer” (P.2-28).)
13. Loose fuel cap warning
This warning appears when the fuel-filler
cap is not tightened correctly after the
vehicle has been refueled. (See “Fuel-filler
cap ”(P.3-25).)
14. Check tire pressure warning
This warning appears when the low tire
pressure warning light in the meter illumi-
nates and low tire pressure is detected. If
this warning appears, stop the vehicle and
adjust the tire pressure to the recom-
mended COLD tire pressure shown on the
Tire and Loading Information label. (See
“Low tire pressure warning light” (P.2-15)
and “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)” (P.5-4).)
15. Low outside temperature warn-
ing
This warning appears if the outside tem-
perature is below 378F(3 8C). The warning
can be set not to be displayed. (See “Trip

The warning systems switch will turn on
and off the Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
system and the Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) system at the same time.
The LDW system will sound a warning
chime and blink the lane departure warn-
ing light (orange) to alert the driver if the
vehicle is traveling close to either the left
or the right of a traveling lane with
detectable lane markers. (See“Lane De-
parture Warning (LDW) system/Lane De-
parture Prevention (LDP) system” (P.5-21).)
The FCW system will sound a warning
chime and the vehicle ahead detection
indicator light blinks to alert the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to the vehicle
ahead. (See
“Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) system” (P.5-67).)
The warning systems switch is automati-
cally turned on when the engine is started,
and the warning systems ON indicator
*1on the switch illuminates.
To cancel the warning systems, push the
warning systems switch to turn off the
system. The warning systems ON indicator
will turn off.
NOTE:
If you continue to push the warning
systems switch from off to on for over 4
seconds, a chime will sound. This will
change the default status of the LDW and
FCW systems to OFF so that these systems
will not automatically turn on when the
engine is started. If this procedure is
repeated, the default status will return to
ON.

When the switch is in the DOOR position
*A, the light illuminates while the lift gate
is opened. When the lift gate is closed, the
light will turn off.

*B,
the light will turn off.
The light will turn off after 15 minutes
when the lights remain illuminated to

®Universal Transceiver provides
a convenient way to consolidate the func-
tions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver:
. Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates,
home and office lighting, entry door
locks and security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink
®will retain all
programming.
Once HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver is
programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures
(Example: new vehicle purchases). Upon
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, see “Program-
ming HomeLink
®” (P.2-66).
WARNING
. Do not use HomeLink®Universal Trans-
ceiver with any garage door opener that
lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by federal safety standards.
(These standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after April
1, 1982.) A garage door opener which
cannot detect an object in the path of a
closing garage door and then automati-
cally stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious injury
or death.
. During programming procedure, your
garage door or security gate may open
or close. Make sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming HomeLink
®Uni-
versal Transceiver.

5. If the indicator light on HomeLink
®
blinks rapidly for two seconds and then
turns solid, HomeLink®has picked up a
“ rolling code” garage door opener
signal. You will need to proceed with
the next steps to train HomeLink
®,
completing the programming may re-
quire a ladder and another person for
convenience.
6. Push and release the program button located on the garage door opener’s
motor to activate the “training mode”.
This button is usually located near the
antenna wire that hangs down from the
motor. If the wire originates from under
a light lens, you will need to remove the
lens to access the training button.
NOTE:
Once you have pushed and released
the training button on the garage door
opener’s motor and the “training light”
is lit, you have 30 seconds in which to
perform step 7. For convenience, use
the help of a second person to assist
when performing this step. 7. Quickly (within 30 seconds of pushing
and releasing the garage door opener
training button) and firmly push and
release the HomeLink
®button you’ve
just programmed. Push and release the
HomeLink
®button up to three times to
complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink
®button should now be
programmed. To program the remaining
HomeLink
®buttons for additional door
or gate openers, follow steps 2 through
8 only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to
“ clear” all previously programmed
HomeLink
®buttons.
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink
®
buttons, please refer to the HomeLink®
web site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-
800-355-3515.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS
Prior to 1992, D.O.C. regulations required
hand-held transmitters to stop transmitting
after 2 seconds. To program your hand-
held transmitter to HomeLink
®, continue to
push and hold the HomeLink®button (note
steps 2 through 4 under “Programming
HomeLink
®”) while you push and re-push
(“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter every
2 seconds until the indicator light flashes
rapidly (indicating successful program-
ming).
NOTE:
If programming a garage door opener, etc.,
it is advised to unplug the device during
the “cycling” process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener com-
ponents.
OPERATING THE HomeLink®UNI-
VERSAL TRANSCEIVER
HomeLink®Universal Transceiver (once
programmed) may now be used to activate
the garage door, etc. To operate, simply
push the appropriate programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver button.
The red indicator light will illuminate while
the signal is being transmitted.
