onds after the ignition key is removed
or turned to the ACC or LOCK posi-
tion. However, if the doors open, the
power windows cannot be operated
within the 30 second period after
ignition key is removed or turned to
the ACC or LOCK position.
✽ ✽NOTICE
While driving with the sunroof in an
open (or partially open) position,
your vehicle may demonstrate a
wind buffeting or pulsation noise.
This noise is a normal occurrence

If the power window is not operated
correctly, the automatic power win-
dow system must be reset as follows:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON
position.
2. Open the window fully by manual down(press the front portion of the
switch to the first detent position.).
3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position and to the ON position
again within 2 seconds.
4. Press the front portion of the switch 3 times within 5 seconds.
5. Close the window and continue pulling up on the power window
switch for at least 1 second after
the window is completely closed. Automatic reversal
If the upward movement of the window
is blocked by an object or part of the
body, the window will detect the resist-
ance and will stop upward movement.
The window will then lower approxi-
mately 11.8 in. (30 cm) to allow the
object to be cleared.
If the window detects the resistance
while the power window switch is
pulled up continuously, the window will
stop upward movement then lower
approximately 1 in. (2.5 cm). And if the
power window switch is pulled up con-
tinuously again within 5 seconds after
the window is lowered by the automat-
ic window reversal feature, the auto-
matic window reversal will not operate.✽ ✽
NOTICE
The automatic reverse feature for
the driver’s and front passenger’s
windows are only active when the
“auto up” feature is used by fully
pulling up the switch. The automat-
ic reverse feature will not operate if
the window is raised using the
halfway position on the power win-
dow switch.
WARNING
Always check for obstructions
before raising any window to
avoid injuries or vehicle damage.
If an object less than 0.16 in. (4
mm) in diameter is caught
between the window glass and
the upper window channel, the
automatic reverse window may
not detect the resistance and will
not stop and reverse direction.

pass heading again. There are some conditions that can
cause changes to the vehicle mag-
nets, such as installing a ski rack or
a CB antenna. Body repair work on
the vehicle can also cause changes
to the vehicle's magnetic field. In
these situations, the compass will
need to be re-calibrated to quickly
correct these changes. To re-cali-
brate the compass:
1. Press and hold the button for
more than 9 seconds. When the
compass memory is cleared a "C"

Control System
The HomeLink
®Wireless Control
System provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held radio-
frequency (RF) transmitters with a
single built-in device. This innovative
feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to
operate devices such as gate opera-
tors, garage door openers, entry
door locks, security systems, even
home lighting. Both standard and
rolling code-equipped transmitters
can be programmed by following the
outlined procedures. Additional
