Homelink — If Equipped
Description
Homelink is a fixed system installed on
the vehicle. It can sync up to three
different devices that activate garage
doors, gates, lighting systems, and
home or office alarm systems.
Programming
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run
your vehicle in the garage while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only
use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse”
feature as required by Federal safety
standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured after 1982.
Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.

Then, drive the vehicle for up to
10 minutes above 15 mph (24 km/h).
The TPMS will chime, the "TPM Telltale
Light" will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then turn off. The
instrument cluster will display the
“SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message
and then display pressure values in
place of the dashes. On the next
ignition switch cycle the "SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM" message will no longer be
displayed, as long as no system fault
exists.
Note:
The TPMS is not intended to
replace normal tire care and
maintenance, or to provide warning of
a tire failure or condition.
The TPMS should not be used as a
tire pressure gauge while adjusting
your tire pressure.
Driving on a significantly
underinflated tire will cause the tire to
overheat, and can lead to tire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.
The TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver’s responsibility to maintain
correct tire pressure using an
accurate tire pressure gauge, even if underinflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the “Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light”.
Seasonal temperature changes will
affect tire pressure, and the TPMS will
monitor the actual tire pressure in the
tire.

OCCUPANT
RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety
features in your vehicle are the restraint
systems:
Occupant Restraint
Systems Features
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems
(SRS) Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described
in this section may be standard
equipment on some models, or may be
optional equipment on others. If you are
not sure, ask your authorized dealer.
Important Safety
Precautions
Please pay close attention to the
information in this section. It tells you
how to use your restraint system
properly, to keep you and your
passengers as safe as possible.
Here are some simple steps you can
take to minimize the risk of harm from a
deploying air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under
should always ride buckled up in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
108
SAFETY

2. Ifachildfrom2to12yearsold(not
in a rear-facing child restraint) must ride
in the front passenger seat, move the
seat as far back as possible and use
the proper child restraint (refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further
information).
3. Children that are not big enough to
wear the vehicle seat belt properly (refer
to “Child Restraints” in this section for
further information) should be secured
in a vehicle with a rear seat in child
restraints or belt-positioning booster
seats. Older children who do not use
child restraints or belt-positioning
booster seats should ride properly
buckled up in a vehicle with a rear seat.
4. Never allow children to slide the
shoulder belt behind them or under
their arm.
5. You should read the instructions
provided with your child restraint to
make sure that you are using it properly.
6. All occupants should always wear
their lap and shoulder belts properly.
7. The driver and front passenger seats
should be moved back as far as
practical to allow the front air bags
room to inflate.
8. Do not lean against the door or
window. If your vehicle has side air
bags, and deployment occurs, the sideair bags will inflate forcefully into the
space between occupants and the
door and occupants could be injured.
9. If the air bag system in this vehicle
needs to be modified to accommodate
a disabled person, refer to the
“Customer Assistance” section for
customer service contact information.
Warning!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying
passenger front air bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing
child restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
Seat Belt Systems
Buckle up even though you are an
excellent driver, even on short trips.
Someone on the road may be a poor
driver and could cause a collision that
includes you. This can happen far away
from home or on your own street.
Research has shown that seat belts
save lives, and they can reduce the
seriousness of injuries in a collision.
Some of the worst injuries happen
when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility
of ejection and the risk of injury caused
by striking the inside of the vehicle.
Everyone in a motor vehicle should be
belted at all times.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use
Reminder System (BeltAlert)
Driver And Passenger BeltAlert —
If Equipped
BeltAlert is a feature intended to
remind the driver and outboard front
seat passenger (if equipped with
outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert)
to buckle their seat belts. The Belt Alert
feature is active whenever the ignition
switch is in the START or ON/RUN
position.
Initial Indication
If the driver is unbuckled when the
ignition switch is first in the START or
ON/RUN position, a chime will signal for
a few seconds. If the driver or outboard
front seat passenger (if equipped with
outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert)
is unbuckled when the ignition switch is
first in the START or ON/RUN position
the Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn
on and remain on until both outboard
front seat belts are buckled. The
outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert
is not active when an outboard front
passenger seat is unoccupied.

7. Position the lap belt so that it is snug
and lies low across your hips, below
your abdomen. To remove slack in the
lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder
belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too
tight, pull on the lap belt. A snug seat
belt reduces the risk of sliding under the
seat belt in a collision.
8. Position the shoulder belt on your
chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor will
withdraw any slack in the seat belt.
9. To release the seat belt, push the
red button on the buckle.
10. To disengage the mini-latch plate
from the mini-buckle for storage, insert
the regular latch plate into the black
button on the top of the mini-buckle.
The seat belt will automatically retract to
its stowed position. If necessary, slide
the latch plate down the webbing to
allow the seat belt to retract fully. Insert
the mini-latch plate and regular latch
plate into its stowed position.
Warning!
If the mini-latch plate and mini-buckle
are not properly connected when the seat
belt is used by an occupant, the seat belt
will not be able to provide proper restraint
and will increase the risk of injury in a
collision.
When reattaching the mini-latch plate and
mini-buckle, ensure the seat belt webbing is
not twisted. If the webbing is twisted, follow
the preceding procedure to detach the
mini-latch plate and mini-buckle, untwist the
webbing, and reattach the mini-latch plate
and mini-buckle.
Seat Belts And Pregnant
Women
Seat belts must be worn by all
occupants including pregnant women:
the risk of injury in the event of an
accident is reduced for the mother and
the unborn child if they are wearing a
seat belt.
Position the lap belt snug and low
below the abdomen and across the
strong bones of the hips. Place the
shoulder belt across the chest and
away from the neck. Never place the
shoulder belt behind the back or under
the arm.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
The front seat belt system is equipped
with pretensioning devices that are
designed to remove slack from the seat
belt in the event of a collision. These
devices may improve the performance
of the seat belt by removing slack from
the seat belt early in a collision.
Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.
Note:
These devices are not a substitute for
proper seat belt placement by the
occupant. The seat belt still must be
worn snugly and positioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
Like the air bags, the pretensioners are
single use items. A deployed
pretensioner or a deployed air bag must
be replaced immediately.
Energy Management Feature
This vehicle has a seat belt system with
an Energy Management feature in the
front seating positions that may help
further reduce the risk of injury in the
event of a collision. The seat belt
system has a retractor assembly that is
designed to release webbing in a
controlled manner.

Switchable Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR)
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with a
Switchable Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) which is used to secure
a child restraint system. For additional
information, refer to “Installing Child
Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt”
under the “Child Restraints” section of
this manual. The figure below illustrates
the locking feature for each seating
position.
If the passenger seating position is
equipped with an ALR and is being
used for normal usage, only pull the
seat belt webbing out far enough to
comfortably wrap around the
occupant’s mid-section so as to not
activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a clicking sound
as the seat belt retracts. Allow thewebbing to retract completely in this
case and then carefully pull out only the
amount of webbing necessary to
comfortably wrap around the
occupant’s mid-section. Slide the latch
plate into the buckle until you hear a
"click."
In Automatic Locking Mode, the
shoulder belt is automatically
pre-locked. The seat belt will still retract
to remove any slack in the shoulder
belt. Use the Automatic Locking Mode
anytime a child restraint is installed in a
seating position that has a seat belt
with this feature. Children 12 years old
and under should always be properly
restrained in a vehicle with a rear seat.
Warning!
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in front of an air bag. A deploying
passenger front air bag can cause death or
serious injury to a child 12 years or
younger, including a child in a rear-facing
child restraint.
Only use a rear-facing child restraint in a
vehicle with a rear seat.
How To Engage The Automatic
Locking Mode
1. Buckle the combination lap and
shoulder belt. 2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull
downward until the entire seat belt is
extracted.
3. Allow the seat belt to retract. As the
seat belt retracts, you will hear a
clicking sound. This indicates the seat
belt is now in the Automatic Locking
Mode.
How To Disengage The Automatic
Locking Mode
Unbuckle the combination lap/shoulder
belt and allow it to retract completely to
disengage the Automatic Locking Mode
and activate the vehicle sensitive
(emergency) locking mode.
Warning!
The seat belt assembly must be
replaced if the switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor (ALR) feature or any
other seat belt function is not working
properly when checked according to the
procedures in the Service Manual.
Failure to replace the seat belt assembly
could increase the risk of injury in collisions.
Do not use the Automatic Locking Mode
to restrain occupants who are wearing the
seat belt or children who are using booster
seats. The locked mode is only used to
install rear-facing or forward-facing child
restraints that have a harness for
restraining the child.
