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 Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. These
Garage Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located
where the hanging antenna is attached to the Garage Door Opener. It is NOT the
button that is normally used to open and close the door. The name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer.
1. Place the ignition switch into 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. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or
“TRAINING” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire
is attached to the garage door opener motor. Firmly push and release the
“LEARN” or “TRAINING” button.
NOTE:
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the LEARN button has
been pushed.
6. Return to the vehicle and push the programmed HomeLink®button twice
(holding the button for two seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and
activates, programming is complete.
NOTE:
If the device does not activate, push the button a third time (for two seconds) to
complete the training.
7. To program the remaining two HomeLink®buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

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.

POWER OUTLET
The power outlet is located on the instrument panel below the climate control and is
powered when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.
The outlet can operate a conventional cigar lighter unit or power accessories
designed for use with a standard power outlet adapter.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will
need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object
in the power outlet as this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use
of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by your new vehicle warranty.

• To activate, pull the T-handle, located in between the front driver and passenger
seats, up once and release. The “4WD Indicator Light” will come on in the cluster.

Trail Rated® Freedom-Drive II™ Four Wheel Drive System (IF EQUIPPED)
This system offers all the benefits of Freedom Drive I™ plus the
rugged capability of true Trail-Rated off road performance with
three additional features:
Off-Road Mode
Pulling up on the T-handle while the gear shift lever is in the Low
position activates the Off-Road mode.
This feature allows power to be sent to all four wheels when additional traction is
required while also delivering enhanced off-road capability for water fording, moving
on steep grades and rock crawling.
Brake Lock Differential
This feature helps keep the vehicle moving forward when one wheel loses traction by
directing power from the wheel that slips to the wheel with more grip on the same axle
providing more traction in off-road situations.
Hill Descent Control/Hill Start Assist
The Hill Descent Control System maintains vehicle speed while descending hills
during off-road driving situations and is available in both low and reverse gears.
This allows a smooth and controlled hill descent on rough or slippery terrain without
the driver needing to touch the brake pedal.
The Hill Start Assist system assists the driver when starting a vehicle from a stop on
a hill.
