NOTICE
The remote control vehicle keys contain electrical components.
Protect them from damage, moisture and rough handling.
Do not press the buttons on the remote control vehicle key unless
you actually want to use the function in question. Since terrain and
conditions vary, pressing a button on the remote control vehicle key
when it is not necessary may unlock the vehicle or set off the panic
alarm, even if you think you are out of range.
Remote control vehicle key functions can be temporarily disrupt-
ed by interference from transmitters near the vehicle that use the
same frequency range (such as radio equipment or mobile phones).
Things between the remote control vehicle key and vehicle, bad
weather, as well as a weak battery can reduce the operating range.
If the remote control vehicle key buttons ⇒ fig. 20 or the power
locking buttons⇒ Unlocking or locking the vehicle from the inside are
pushed repeatedly in quick succession, the power locking system is
switched off for a brief period to help keep it from being overloaded.
The vehicle is then unlocked for about 30 seconds. Unless a door or

The buttons 1 , 2 , and 3 on the keypad in the sun visor can operate
up to 3 separate devices (for example, a gate and garage door,
house alarm or lighting system).

Please carry out each step only in the order specified:
1. For first time programming only: Press and hold the two
outer HomeLink buttons 1 and 3 at the same time for about 20
seconds, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light
above button 2 begins to flash.
This step deletes any old settings. Do not perform this step
when programming the additional HomeLink buttons.
2. Position the hand-held transmitter for your remote control de-
vice 1-3 inches (25-75 mm) away from the HomeLink keypad
on the driver side sun visor, keeping the HomeLink indicator
light in view, as shown ⇒ fig. 41.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the
HomeLink button you want to program ( 1 , 2 , or 3 ) and the
hand-held transmitter button, as shown ⇒ fig. 42. Do not re-
lease the buttons until the HomeLink indicator light flash-
es slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, release both buttons. The rapid flashing indicates suc-
cessful programming.
4.
Press and hold the programmed HomeLink button and watch
the indicator light.
If the indicator light comes on and does not flash, programming
is complete and your garage door opener or other device
should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and re-
leased.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then stays
on, proceed with the following programming instructions for a
rolling code device. A second person may make the following
steps quicker and easier. Please use a ladder or other device.
Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps ⇒  in
Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter

Never hold the steering wheel at the 12 o'clock position or with your
hands at other places inside the steering wheel rim or on the steering
wheel hub. Holding the steering wheel the wrong way can cause seri-
ous injuries to the hands, arms, and head if the driver's airbag in-
flates.
Adjust the steering wheel so that the steering wheel cover points at
your chest and not at your face. Pointing the steering wheel toward
your face decreases the ability of the driver's airbag to help protect
you in a collision.
Adjust the driver's seat so that you can easily push the pedals all
the way to the floor while keeping your knee(s) slightly bent.
Adjust the seat height so that the top point of the steering wheel
can be reached.
Always keep both feet in the footwell so that you are in control of
the vehicle at all times.
Passenger - front seat adjustment:
Push the passenger seat as far back as possible in order to ensure
optimum protection if the airbag is deployed.

After adjusting the tire inflation pressures, make sure to screw the
valve caps back on; replace missing valve caps immediately. Please
read and heed the information on resetting the Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing System, if necessary ⇒  Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Remember that the vehicle manufacturer, not the tire manufacturer,
determines the correct tire pressure for the tires on your vehicle.
Never exceed the maximum inflation pressure listed on the tire side-
wall for any reason.
Inflate a spare wheel to the pressure specified for the vehicle's road
wheels on the tire pressure label; inflate a compact spare wheel to
the pressure specified for the compact spare on the tire pressure la-
bel or on a separate label for the compact spare, if there is one.
WARNING
Incorrect tire pressure can cause a sudden tire failure or blow-
out, loss of control, collision, serious personal injury, and even
death.
Always inflate tires to the recommended and correct cold tire
pressure before driving off.
Low tire pressure can cause tires to get too hot, resulting in
tread separation, sudden loss of pressure, and blowouts. Tires
with excessively low pressure flex (bend) more, which can
cause the tire to overheat and fail suddenly without warning.
Excessive speed and/or overloading can cause heat build-up,
sudden tire failure including a blowout and sudden deflation
and loss of control.
If the tire pressure is too low or too high, the tires will wear
prematurely and the vehicle will not handle well.
Regularly check tire inflation pressure, at least once a month,
and also especially before a long trip.
Check the pressure in all 4 tires when the tires are still cold.
Never reduce air pressure in warm tires to match cold tire infla-
tion pressure.
NOTICE
Make sure not to jam the tire pressure gauge into the valve
stem. Otherwise you can damage both the tire valves and the tire

WARNING
Never leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
The vehicle could move suddenly, especially when the vehicle
is in gear, resulting in accidents and personal injury.
WARNING
“Starting fluids” can explode and can cause a “run-away” vehi-
cle condition.
Never use starting assist fluids.
NOTICE
You can damage the starter or the engine if you try to start the
engine when the vehicle is still moving, or if you try to restart the
engine right after switching it off.
Avoid high engine speeds, full throttle acceleration, and heavy
engine loads when the engine is cold.
Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle.
Unburned fuel can get into the catalytic converter and damage it.
The steering column may also be locked.
Do not let your vehicle warm up while standing; instead, start
driving right away after making sure that you have good visibility
through all windows. This will help the engine reach operating tem-
perature faster and keep down emissions.
If the remote control vehicle key battery is weak or dead, the
starter button will not start the engine. In this case, start the engine by
inserting the vehicle key in the ignition switch ⇒ Vehicle key positions
in the ignition switch.
Major consumers of electricity are temporarily switched off when
the engine is being started.
After starting a cold engine, there may be increased operating
noises for a few seconds. This is normal and harmless.

WARNING
Hot steam and hot engine coolant can cause serious burns.
Never open the hood if you see steam or coolant escaping
from the engine compartment. Always wait until you no longer
see or hear steam or coolant escaping from the engine.
Always let the engine cool down completely before carefully
opening the hood. Hot components will burn skin on contact.
When the engine has cooled down and you are ready to open
the hood:
– Apply the electronic parking brake and shift the transmis-
sion into Park (P) (automatic) or Neutral (manual only).
– Take the vehicle key out of the ignition.
– On vehicles with Keyless Access, make sure that the re-
mote control vehicle key is out of range of the vehicle and
that the vehicle cannot be started by depressing the starter
button
– Always keep children and others away from the engine
compartment and never leave them unsupervised.
The engine coolant system is under pressure when the en-
gine is hot. Never unscrew the coolant expansion tank cap
when the engine is hot. Hot coolant can spray out and cause
severe burns and other serious injuries.
– Turn the cap slowly and very carefully in a counterclock-
wise direction while applying light downward pressure on the
top of the cap.
– Always protect your face, hands, and arms from hot escap-
ing coolant or steam by covering the cap with a large, thick
rag.
Never spill fluids on the engine or exhaust system when re-
filling. Spilling fluids onto hot parts of the engine or exhaust
system can cause a fire. Under some conditions, the ethylene
glycol in engine coolant can catch fire.
NOTICE
Use distilled water only when adding coolant! All other types
of water contain chemical compounds that can cause extensive
corrosion damage to the engine. This can even lead to engine
