CLIMATE CONTROL SEAT SWITCH (if
so equipped)
Instruments and controls2-43
The Warning Systems switch is used to turn on
and off the warning systems (Forward Collision
Warning (FCW) , Lane Departure Warning
(LDW) and Blind Spot Warning (BSW) systems)
that are activated using the settings menu on the
vehicle information display.
When the warning systems switch is turned off,
the indicator
1on the switch is off. The indicator
will also be off if all of the warning systems are
deactivated using the settings menu.
The FCW system will sound a warning chime and
the vehicle ahead detection indicator light blinks
to alert the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to
the vehicle ahead. For additional information, re- fer to “Forward Collision Warning (FCW) sys-
tem” in the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
The LDW system will sound a warning chime and
blink the LDW/LDP indicator light (orange) to
alert the driver if the vehicle is traveling close to
either the left or the right of a traveling lane with
detectable lane markers. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
system/Lane Departure Prevention (LDP) sys-
tem” in the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
The BSW system will turn on the BSW/Blind
Spot Intervention® (BSI) indicator lights, located
next to the outside mirrors, if the radar sensors
detect a vehicle in the detection zone. If the turn
signal is activated in the direction of the detected
vehicle, a chime sounds twice and the BSW/BSI
indicator light will flash. For additional informa-
tion, refer to “Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
system/Blind Spot Intervention/® (BSI)
system/Back-up Collision Intervention (BCI) sys-
tem” in the “Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most driv-
ing conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the floor. If
maximum engine power is needed to free a stuck
vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC OFF
switch. The
indicator will come on.
Push the VDC OFF switch again or restart the
engine to turn on the system. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC)
system” in the “Starting and driving” section.

●Make sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc. inside the vehicle while
it is in motion and before closing the

CAUTION
Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could result
in a discharged battery.The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver provides
a convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
● Will operate most Radio Frequency devices
such as garage doors, gates, home and of-
fice lighting, entry door locks and security
systems.
● Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink® will retain all program-
ming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (Example: new vehicle purchases) .
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes. For
additional information, refer to “Program-
ming HomeLink®” in this section.
WARNING
● Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards be-
came effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982) . A ga-
rage door opener which cannot detect
an object in the path of a closing garage
door and then automatically stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
● During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range) . Make sure that people or
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
● Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink®
Universal Transceiver. Do not breathe
exhaust gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
