The rear window defogger works only when
the engine is running. The indicator light i n
the button illum inates when the rear window
defogge r is turned on .
The rear window defogger is switched off au­
tomatically after approx . 10 minutes.
@ For the sake of the environment
As soon as the rear window is clear, yo u
should switch the rear window defogger
off . The reduced power consumption has a
beneficial effect on f uel consumption.
Heated seats~
App lies to vehicles: with heated seats
The seat cushion and the seotbock of the
front seats con be heated electrically.
.,. Press the heated seats button I-J + I
¢ page 68, fig. 79 to set the level of heating
desired .
The range of controls goes from 1 to 3. The heat se tting se lected is shown by LEDs above
the button .
& WARNING
Individuals with reduced sensitivity to pain
or temperature could develop burns when
using the seat heating function. To reduce
the risk of injury, these individuals should
not use seat heat ing .
To avo id damage to the heating e lements
in the seats, do not kneel on the seats or
place heavy loads on a small area of the
seat .
Using the climate controls economically
Economical use of the climate controls helps
to save fuel .
When climate control is working in coo ling
mode, engine performance is reduced and
fuel consumption is affected . To keep the time the air cond
itioning is on as short as possible,
you should do the following:
.,. If you would like to save fuel, switch the air
conditioning off .
.,. If you open the windows while driving,
switch the air conditioning off .
.,. If the veh icle is extreme ly hot due to the
heat of the sun, br iefly open doors and w in­
dows .
@ For the sake of the environment
When yo u save fuel, you reduce emissions
from the vehicle.

@ For the sake of the environment
To avoid unnecessary engine wear and to reduce exhaust emissions, do not let your
vehicle stand and warm up. Be ready to
drive off immediately after start ing your
veh icle. Mainta in moderate speed until the
engine is completely warm . Remember,
the engine performs best at operating
temperature .
Stopping the engine
.,. Turn the ignition key to position @
¢page 73, fig. 82.
_& WARNING
-Never turn off the engine before the ve­
hicle has come to a complete stop. The
full function of the brake booster and the
power steering is not guaranteed. You
must use more force to turn or brake if
necessary . Because you cannot steer and
brake as you usually would, this could
lead to crashes and serious injur ies.
- The radiator fan can continue to run for
up to 10 minutes even after you have
turned off the eng ine and removed the
ignition key. The radiator fan can also
turn on again if the engine coolant heats
up because of intense sunlight or heat
build-up in the engine compartment .
(D Note
Do not stop the engine immediately after
hard or extended driving. Keep the engine
r un ning for approximately two minutes to
prevent excessive heat build-up.

pending on vehicle speed and eng ine rpm. The
upshift into the next higher gear takes place
as soon as the maximum specified engine
speed is reached.

Homelink
Universal remote
control
General information
The HomeLink universal remote control can
be programmed with hand-held transmitters
from existing equipment.
You must first program the Homelink trans­
mitter before you can use the system
~ page 89, Programming the HomeLink
transmitter.
In order to program the Homelink transmit­
ter for devices utilizing rolling code, a second
person on a ladder who can safely reach the
garage door opener motor is recommended.
It is also necessary to locate the "learn" but­
ton on your garage door opener motor . Refer
to the operating instructions for the opener, as the location and color of this button may
vary by manufacturer .
You can still use the origina l remote control
for the device at any time.
A WARNING
-
- Never use the Homelink transmitter
with any garage door opener that does
have not the safety stop and reverse fea­
ture as requ ired by federal safety stand­
ards. This includes any garage door open­
er model manufactured before April 1,
1982.
- A garage door opener which cannot de­
tect an object, signaling the door to stop
and reverse does not meet current feder­
al safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death.
- For safety reasons never release the
parking brake or start the engine while
anyone is standing in front of the vehicle.
- A garage door or an estate gate may
sometimes be set in motion when the Homelink remote control is being pro­
grammed. If the device is repeatedly ac-
Homelink 89
tivated, this can overstrain motor and
damage its electrical components -an
overheated motor is a fire hazard!
- To avoid possible injuries or property
damage, please always make absolutely
certain that no persons or objects are lo­
cated in the range of motion of any
equipment being operated.
(!) Tips
- If you would like more information on
Homelink, where to purchase the Home­
Link compat ible products, or would like

ing Package, please call toll-free:
