WARNING!
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Never leave the Key Fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped
by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof switch. Such entrap-
ment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers,
other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury
may result.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any
window. This will minimize buffeting.

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 overhead console or 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 out-
side of the garage before you begin pro-
gramming.
For efficient programming and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency sig-
nal, 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.
To erase the channels, place the ignition
switch into the ON/RUN position, then
push 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 for information or assistance.

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. Push and hold the HomeLink®button you want to program while you push and
hold the hand-held transmitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink®
indicator 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. Push 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 pushed.
6. To program the two remaining HomeLink®buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
Using HomeLink®
• To operate, push and release the programmed HomeLink®button. Activation will
now occur for the programmed device (e.g., garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held
transmitter of the device may also be used at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming
the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled
and can cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION
This vehicle has two full time, on-demand, four-wheel-drive (4WD) systems avail-
able, Freedom Drive I™ and Freedom-Drive II™. They provide for all-weather,
all-terrain capability for added driving security in less-than-ideal road conditions.
Freedom-Drive I™ Four Wheel Drive System
• The vehicle will constantly monitor wheel slippage and transfer power to the axle
that can use it the most.
• For additional traction in sand, deep snow or loose traction surfaces, the “4WD
Lock” sends equal amounts of the torque to the front and rear axles at low speeds.

2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts by turning them to the left one turn
while the wheel is still on the ground.
NOTE:
• There are front and rear jacking locations on each side of the body. The front
locations are outlined by two triangular cutouts, the rear locations by two
rectangular cutouts.
• For vehicles equipped with plastic
trim, the plastic has been cut away
to expose the jacking locations in
the body.
• Do not raise the vehicle until you are
sure the jack is securely engaged.
3. Turn the jack screw to the left until the
jack can be placed under the jacking
location. Once the jack is positioned,
turn the jack screw to the right until
the jack head is properly engaged with
the lift area closest to the wheel to be
changed.
4. Using the swivel wrench raise the ve-
hicle by turning the jack screw to the
right. Raise the vehicle only until the
tire just clears the surface and enough
clearance is obtained to install the
spare tire. Minimum tire lift provides
maximum stability.
