Warning and information texts
The status of various vehicle functions and components is monitored
when the ignition is switched on and while driving. Malfunctions are
indicated by red and yellow warning symbols with text messages in
the instrument cluster display (⇒ Warning and indicator lights). In
some cases, they may also be signaled acoustically. The display can
vary depending on the instrument cluster model.

WARNING
Failure to heed warning lights and instrument cluster text mes-
sages can cause the vehicle to break down in traffic and result
in a collision and serious personal injury.
Never ignore warning lights or text WARNINGS.
Always stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Park the vehicle at a safe distance from moving traffic and
where no part of the hot catalytic converter and exhaust system
can come into contact with flammable materials under the vehi-
cle, such as dry grass, brush, spilled fuel, etc.
A broken down vehicle presents a high accident risk for itself
and others. Switch on emergency flashers and set up a warning
triangle to warn oncoming traffic.
WARNING
Roads and bridges may be dangerously icy even if the outside
air temperature is above freezing.
If you use the outside temperature display to tell you about
frost conditions, remember that roads can even ice over at
temperatures above +39 °F (+4 °C). Always remember: even if
the “snowflake symbol” (icy road warning) is not displayed,
there could still be black ice on the road.
Never rely exclusively on the outside temperature display.
NOTICE
Failure to heed warning lights or text WARNINGS can result in
vehicle damage.
The instrument cluster displays and their arrangement may vary
depending on the vehicle model and engine. For displays without
warning and information messages, malfunctions are only signaled
with indicator lights.
If there are multiple warning messages, the symbols are dis-
played for several seconds in order of importance. The symbols are
displayed until the cause has been corrected.

Indicator light in the remote control vehicle key

Fig. 22 Indicator light in the remote control vehicle key.

The buttons 1 , 2 , and 3 on the keypad in the sun visor can operate
up to 3 separate devices (for example, a gate and garage door,
house alarm or lighting system).

Please carry out each step only in the order specified:
1. For first time programming only: Press and hold the two
outer HomeLink buttons 1 and 3 at the same time for about 20
seconds, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light
above button 2 begins to flash.
This step deletes any old settings. Do not perform this step
when programming the additional HomeLink buttons.
2. Position the hand-held transmitter for your remote control de-
vice 1-3 inches (25-75 mm) away from the HomeLink keypad
on the driver side sun visor, keeping the HomeLink indicator
light in view, as shown ⇒ fig. 41.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the
HomeLink button you want to program ( 1 , 2 , or 3 ) and the
hand-held transmitter button, as shown ⇒ fig. 42. Do not re-
lease the buttons until the HomeLink indicator light flash-
es slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, release both buttons. The rapid flashing indicates suc-
cessful programming.
4.
Press and hold the programmed HomeLink button and watch
the indicator light.
If the indicator light comes on and does not flash, programming
is complete and your garage door opener or other device
should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and re-
leased.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then stays
on, proceed with the following programming instructions for a
rolling code device. A second person may make the following
steps quicker and easier. Please use a ladder or other device.
