UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (HomeLink®)
•HomeLink® replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices such as
garage door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security systems. The HomeLink®
unit is powered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
• The HomeLink® buttons that are located in the overhead console or sunvisor designate the three different HomeLink® channels.
• The HomeLink® indicator is located above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming HomeLink®
•
Be sure that your vehicle is parked outside of
the garage before you begin programming.
•For more efficient programming and accu-
rate transmission of the radio-frequency
signal it is recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device that is being programmed to the
HomeLink® system.
•Erase all channels before you begin pro-
gramming. To erase the channels, place the
ignition switch into the ON/RUN position,
then press and hold the two outside
HomeLink® buttons (I and III) for up to
20 seconds or until the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
• Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink® for the
first time. Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
• If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1–800–355– 3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
• For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. These Garage Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where
the hanging antenna is attached to the Garage Door Opener. It is NOT the button that is
normally used to open and close the door. The name and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.
• Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
• Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
• Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and the hand-held transmitter button.

Using HomeLink®
•T
o operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Activation will now occur
for the programmed device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door
lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at
any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the path
of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and can cause
you and others to be severely injured or killed.
POWER INVERTER
• There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverteroutlet located on the back of the center
console. This outlet can power cellular
phones, electronics and other low power
devices requiring power up to 150 Watts.
• Press the switch located in the switch bank on the lower instrument panel to
turn the power inverter on. The indicator
light will turn on to indicate the inverter is
producing AC power.
•
Press the switch again to turn the power
inverter off. The indicator light will turn off.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will
automatically shut down. Once the electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the
inverter should automatically reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the
power inverter may have to be reset manually. To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device
and plug it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices
prior to using the inverter.

WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock
and failure.
POWER OUTLET
•The front power outlet is located in the front
center storage bin of the instrument panel.
• A second front power outlet is located inside the center console.
• The rear power outlet is located in the right rear cargo area.
• The power outlets are labeled with either a “key” or a “battery” symbol to indicate
how the outlet is powered. Power outlets
labeled with a “key” are powered when the
ignition switch is in the ON/RUN or ACC
position, while the outlets labeled with a “battery” are connected directly to the battery
and powered at all times.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
Single-Speed Operating Instructions/Precautions
•
This system contains a single-speed (HI range only) transfer case, which provides conve-
nient full-time all-wheel drive. No driver interaction is required. The Brake Traction Control
(BTC) System, which combines standard ABS and Traction Control, provides resistance to
any wheel that is slipping to allow additional torque transfer to wheels with traction.
NOTE:
This system is not appropriate for conditions where AWD LOW range is recommended. Refer to
“Off-Road Driving Tips” in “Starting and Operating” on the DVD for further information.
Electronically Shifted Transfer Case (Three-Position Switch)
•
This is an electronic shift transfer case and
is operated by the AWD Control Switch
(Transfer Case Switch), which is located on
the center console.
• This electronically shifted transfer case provides three mode positions:• All-wheel drive automatic range
(AWD AUTO)
• All-wheel drive low range (LOW RANGE)
• Neutral (NEUTRAL)
•
When additional traction is required, the
LOW RANGE position can be used to lock
the front and rear driveshafts together
forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate
at the same speed. The LOW RANGE posi-
tion are designed for loose, slippery road surfaces only. Driving in the LOW RANGE positions
on dry hard surfaced roads may cause increased tire wear and damage to the driveline
components.
• When operating your vehicle in LOW RANGE, the engine speed is approximately three times that of the AWD HI position at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed the
engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE:
The “SERV AWD Warning Light” monitors the electronic shift all-wheel drive system. If this
light remains on after engine start up or illuminates during driving, it means that the
all-wheel drive system is not functioning properly and that service is required.
