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 sunvisor designate the three different
HomeLink® channels.
•The HomeLink® indicator is located above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming HomeLink®
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage before you begin programming.
For efficient programming and accurate 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 programming.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
NOTE:
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 but-
ton that is normally used to open and close the door.The name and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer.
1.Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
2.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.
3.Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and
the hand-held transmitter button.
4.Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light.The HomeLink® indi-
cator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the frequency
signal from the hand-held transmitter.Release both buttons after the indicator light
changes from slow to rapid.

remaining button.DO NOT erase the channels.
Programming A Non-Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.
1.Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2.Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3.Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and
the hand-held transmitter button.
4.Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light.The HomeLink® indi-
cator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the frequency
signal from the hand-held transmitter.Release both buttons after the indicator light
changes from slow to rapid.
5.Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door
(or device) should activate when the HomeLink® button is pressed.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system.The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate in
the instrument cluster.This means that service is required for your vehicle.Operating
conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and extremely hot or cold ambient
temperatures will influence when the “Change Oil” or “Oil Change Required” message is
displayed.Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as
early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset.Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change.If a scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your
authorized dealer, the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
in your Owners Manual on the DVD for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or
twelve months, whichever comes first.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4000 miles (6,500 km) if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off
road environment.This type of vehicle use is considered Severe Duty
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
•Check engine oil level
•Check windshield washer fluid level
•Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
•Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder reservoir, and
transmission as needed
•Check function of all interior and exterior lights
