WARNING:Do not drive the vehicle when the third-row seat is
rotated backwards. During a sudden stop, the safety belts are not
functional in this position and the third-row seat can rapidly tip back to
the forward position, all of which may result in serious injury.
Note:Do not use seat in this position or damage to seat may occur.
PowerFold® Third-Row Seats (If Equipped)
Note:The third-row seat includes obstacle detection that allows the seat
to stop and reverse direction if it hits an obstacle so that the obstacle
can be removed.
Note:Pressing a different button while the power seat feature is already
being performed may cause the first selected seat movement to be
cancelled. Allow the first seat movement to be completed before pressing
a button for another function.
Note:Make sure that there are no objects such as books, purses or
briefcases on the load floor before unstowing the seat. Failure to remove
all objects from the top of the load floor prior to unstowing it may cause
damage to the seat.
Note:In order to allow the seat to complete the stowed position, do not
place objects under the seat before stowing. Remove all objects from the
seat and stowage tub.
Note:In the unlikely event that the third-row power seat stops
prematurely or travels to an unexpected position, press the FOLD
button (C) to reset the seat and return it to a normal position.

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).
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.
SeeErasing the function button codeslater 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 with 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.
