your vehicle. Have your vehicle checked by
your authorized dealer immediately. Driving
extended distances with the parking brake
engaged can cause brake failure and the
risk of personal injury. Cruise Control (If Equipped)
Lights when you switch on this
feature.
Direction Indicator Lights when you switch on the
left or right direction indicator or
hazard warning flasher. If the
indicators stay on or flash faster, check for

your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so
and switch off the engine. Check the engine
oil level. See Engine Oil Check (page
212).
Note: Do not resume your journey if it lights
despite the level being correct. Have the
system checked by an authorized dealer
immediately.

Note:
If your vehicle detects certain faults,
it will not allow you to operate the
accelerator pedal. If this happens, press the
brake pedal and release it. This will activate
limp home vehicle operation. In limp home
vehicle operation, your vehicle will
accelerate in a controlled manner up to a
maximum speed of 35 mph (56 km/h) on
a flat surface. If you apply the brake pedal
or move the transmission to neutral (N) you
can override your vehicle ’s acceleration.
Ready to Drive Lights after your switch your
vehicle on and it is ready to drive.
A corresponding message may
display stating ready to drive.
Service Engine Soon If the service engine soon
indicator light stays on after you
switch on the engine, this
indicates that the On-Board Diagnostics
system (OBD) has detected a malfunction
of the vehicle emissions control system.
Refer to On-Board diagnostics (OBD) in
the Fuel and Refueling chapter for more
information about having your vehicle
serviced. See Emission Control System
(page 143).
If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a moderate
fashion (avoid heavy acceleration and
deceleration) and have your vehicle
serviced immediately.
Note: Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures could
damage the catalytic converter or other
vehicle components.
The service engine soon indicator lights
when you first switch on the ignition prior
to engine start to check the bulb and to
indicate whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection and Maintenance testing. Normally, the service engine soon light will
stay on until you switch on the engine, then
turn itself off if no malfunctions are
present. However, if after 15 seconds the
service engine soon light blinks eight times,
it means that the vehicle is not ready for
Inspection and Maintenance testing. See
Emission Control System
(page 143).
Stability Control Lights when the system is active.
If it remains on or does not light
when you switch the ignition on,
this indicates a malfunction. During a
malfunction, the system will turn off. Have
the system checked by an authorized
dealer immediately.
See Using Stability
Control (page 161).
Stability Control Off Lights when you switch the
system off. It will go out when
you switch the system back on
or when you switch the ignition off.
See
Using Stability Control (page 161).
Stop Safely Indicates an electrical
component fault or failure that
will cause the vehicle to
shutdown or enter into a limited operating
mode. A message may also display.

(If Equipped) Lights after you plug in your
vehicle. A corresponding
message may display after
attempting to start the vehicle.

WARNING
Do not use the system with any
garage door opener that does not
have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal Safety
Standards (this includes any garage door
opener manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door opener which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death. Note:
Make sure that the garage door and
security device are free from obstruction
when you are programming. Do not program
the system with the vehicle in the garage.
Note: Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future system
programming.
Note: We recommend that upon the sale
or lease termination of your vehicle, you
erase the programmed function buttons for
security reasons. See Erasing the function
button codes later in this section.
Note: You can program a maximum of
three devices. To change or replace any of
the three devices after it has been initially
programmed, you must first erase the
current settings. See Erasing the function
button codes later in this section. The universal garage door opener replaces
the common hand-held garage door
opener with a three-button transmitter
that is integrated into the driver
’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary features,
a garage door opener and a platform for
remote activation of devices within the
home. As well as being programmed for
garage doors, the system transmitter can
be programmed to operate entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door
locks and home or office lighting.
Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com or by
calling the toll-free help line on
1-800-355-3515.
In-vehicle programming
This process is to program your hand-held
transmitter and your in-vehicle HomeLink
button.
Note: Put a new battery in the hand-held
transmitter. This will ensure quicker training
and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal. 1.
With your vehicle parked outside of the
garage, turn your ignition to the
on
position, but do not start your vehicle.
2. Hold your hand-held garage door transmitter 1– 3 inches (2–8
centimeters) away from the HomeLink
button you want to program.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNINGS
Extended idling at high engine
speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire or
other damage. Do not park, idle or drive your vehicle
on dry grass or other dry ground
cover. The emission system heats up
the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire. Do not start the vehicle in a closed
garage or in other enclosed areas.
Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
vehicle. If you smell exhaust fumes inside
your vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized dealer
immediately. Do not drive your vehicle if
you smell exhaust fumes. If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 miles
(8 kilometers) after you reconnect it. This
is because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You can
disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.
When you start the vehicle, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
vehicle. IGNITION SWITCH
0 (off) - The ignition is off.
Note: When you switch the ignition off and
leave your vehicle, do not leave your key in
the ignition. This could cause your vehicle
battery to lose charge.
I
(accessory) - Allows the electrical
accessories, such as the radio, to operate
while the engine is not running.
Note: Do not leave the ignition key in this
position for too long. This could cause your
vehicle battery to lose charge.
II
(on) - All electrical circuits are
operational and the warning lamps and
indicators illuminate.
III
(start) - cranks the engine.
KEYLESS STARTING
Note: The keyless starting system may not
function if the key is close to metal objects
or electronic devices such as cellular
phones.
Note: A valid key must be located inside
your vehicle to switch the ignition on and
start the vehicle.
