Electric chromic mirror (ECM) (if equipped)
The electric rearview mirror automati- cally controls the glare from the head-
lights of the car behind you in night-
time or low light driving conditions.
When the engine is running, the
glare is automatically controlled by
the sensor mounted in the rearview
mirror. The sensor detects the light
level around the vehicle, and auto-matically adjusts to control the head-
light glare from vehicles behind you.
Whenever the shift lever is placed in
R (Reverse), the mirror will automat-
ically go to the brightest setting to
improve the driver’s view behind the
vehicle.
To operate the electric rearview
mirror:
Press the ON/OFF button (1) to turn the automatic dimming func-
tion on. The mirror indicator light
will illuminate.
Press the ON/OFF button to turn
the automatic dimming function off.
The mirror indicator light will turn
off.
The mirror defaults to the ON posi- tion whenever the ignition switch is
turned on.

Integrated HomeLink ®
Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink ®
Wireless Control
System can replace up to three hand-
held radio-frequency (RF) transmit-
ters with a single built-in device. This
innovative feature will learn the radiofrequency codes of most current
transmitters to operate devices such
as gate operators, garage door open-
ers, entry door locks, security sys-
tems, even home lighting. Both stan-
dard and rolling code-equipped trans-
mitters can be programmed by fol-
lowing the outlined procedures. Additional HomeLink ®
information
can be found at: www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-355-3515. Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as forfuture HomeLink
®
programming. It is
also suggested that upon the sale of
the vehicle, the programmedHomeLink ®
buttons be erased for
security purposes.

Programming HomeLink®
Please note the following:
When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park the
vehicle outside of the garage.
It is recommended that a new bat- tery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink ®
for quicker
training and accurate transmission
of the radio-frequency signal.
Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be placed in the
ACC (or "Accessories") position for
programming and/or operation ofHomeLink ®
.
In the event that there are still pro- gramming difficulties or questions
after following the programming
steps listed below, contactHomeLink ®
at: www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Rolling code programming
Rolling code devices which are
"code-protected" and manufactured
after 1996 may be determined by the
following:
Reference the device owner's manual for verification.
The handheld transmitter appears to program the HomeLink ®
Universal Transceiver but does not
activate the device.
Press and hold the trained HomeLink button. The device has
the rolling code feature if the indi-
cator light flashes rapidly and then
turns solid after 2 seconds.
Before programming HomeLink
®
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm
or damage. Do not use theHomeLink ®
with any garage door
opener that lacks the safety stop
and reverse features required by
U.S. federal safety standards
(this includes any garage door
opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garagedoor that cannot detect an object- signaling the door to stop and
reverse - does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener
without these features increases
the risk of serious injury ordeath.WARNING
