Settings Changing
Settings can be changed using the
following procedure:
1. Safely park the vehicle. Both doors
must remain closed.
2. Place the ignition in the ON position.
3. Push and hold the lock side of the
driver's door-lock switch within
20 seconds of placing the ignition in the
ON position, and make sure a beep
sound is heard about eight seconds
afterwards.
4. Refer to the auto lock/unlock
function setting table, determine the
function number for the desired setting.
Push the unlock side of the driver's
door-lock switch the same number of
times as the selected function number
(example: if you select function 2, push
the unlock side of the switch only two
times).
5. Three seconds after the function
setting has been changed, a beep
sound will beep in the amount of the
selected function number (example:
Function number 3 = three beep
sounds). Automatic Transmission Vehicles
The doors cannot be locked or
unlocked while the setting
function is being performed.
The procedure can be cancelled by
pushing the lock side of the door-lock
switch.
Note:
The vehicle lock-out prevention
feature prevents you from locking
yourself out of the vehicle. Both doors,
trunk lid, and the fuel filler door will
automatically unlock if they are locked
using the power door locks with any
door open. If both the doors are closed
even though the trunk lid is open, both
the doors and the fuel filler door will
lock.
Door Unlock (Control) System
With Collision Detection — if
equipped : this system automatically
unlocks the doors, trunk lid, and the
fuel filler door in the event the vehicle is
involved in an accident to allow
passengers to get out of the vehicle
immediately and prevent being trapped
inside. While the ignition is placed in the ON position and in the event the
vehicle receives an impact strong
enough to inflate the air bags, both the
doors, the trunk lid, and fuel filler door
are automatically unlocked after about
six seconds have elapsed from the
time of the accident. The doors, trunk
lid, and the fuel filler door may not
unlock depending on how an impact is
applied, the force of the impact, and
other conditions of the accident. If
door-related systems or the battery is
malfunctioning, the doors, trunk lid,
and the fuel filler door will not unlock.
When opening a door, the power
windows open a little automatically.
When closing the door, the power
windows close automatically. This is a
function for improving the sealing of
the window, and it does not mean
there is a problem. If the vehicle battery
is disconnected for vehicle
maintenance or other reasons, the
power windows will not open or close
automatically. If the power windows do
not open or close, the automatic
open/close mechanism for the
windows must be reset.

Daytime Running Lights
(DRL)
The daytime running lights turn on
automatically when the vehicle starts
moving.
They turn off when the parking brake is
engaged or the gear selector is shifted
to the Park (P) position (if equipped with
automatic transmission).
Note:In some markets, the daytime
running lights can be deactivated. For
markets that allow deactivation, refer to
“Personalization Features” in “Knowing
Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
High Beams
The headlights can be switched
between high and low beams by
moving the lever forward or backward.
When the headlight high-beams are on,
the
high beam indicator is
illuminated.
Flash To Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your
headlights by partially pulling the
headlight lever toward the steering
wheel. This will cause the high beam
headlights to turn on until the lever is
released.
The
high beam indicator in the
instrument cluster illuminates
simultaneously.
Automatic Lighting
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON, the light will sense the
surrounding lightness or darkness and
automatically turns the headlights, other
exterior lights and dashboard
illumination on or off.
Note: Do not shade the light sensor by
placing a sticker or a label on the
windshield. Otherwise the light sensor
will not operate correctly.
The light sensor also works as a rain
sensor for the auto-wiper control. Keep
hands and scrapers clear of the
windshield when the wiper lever is in
the AUTO position and the ignition is
switched ON as fingers could be
pinched or the wipers and wiper blades
damaged when the wipers activate
automatically. If you are going to clean the windshield, be sure the wipers are
turned off completely when the engine
is running.
Note:
The headlights, other exterior lights
and dashboard lights may not turn off
immediately even if the surrounding
area becomes well-lit because the light
sensor determines that it is night time if
the surrounding area is continuously
dark for several minutes such as inside
long tunnels, traffic jams inside tunnels,
or in indoor parking lots. In this case,
the lights turn off if the light switch is
turned to the OFF position.
When the headlight switch is in the
AUTO position and the ignition is
switched to ACC or the ignition is
switched off, the headlights, other
exterior lights and dashboard
illumination will turn off.
The dashboard lights can be
adjusted by rotating the knob in the
instrument cluster. The day/night mode
can be changed by rotating the knob
until a beep sound is heard.

opener without these safety features. Call
toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet
at HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.
Pre-Programming The
System
Note:It is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink for quicker
training and accurate transmission of
the radio-frequency signal.
Proceed as follows:
1. Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device you
would like to program.
2. Disconnect the power to the device.
Programming The
System
Note: When programming a garage
door opener or a gate, disconnect the
power to these devices before
performing programming. Continuous
operation of the devices could damage
the motor. The HomeLink system provides three
buttons which can be individually
selected and programmed using the
transmitters for current, on-market
devices as follows:
1. Disconnect power to the device
being programmed.
2. Position the end of your handheld
transmitter one to three inches (2.5 -
7.5 cm ) away from the HomeLink
button you wish to program while
keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both
the chosen HomeLink and hand-held
transmitter buttons.
Do not release
the buttons until step four has been
completed 4. After the HomeLink indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light, release both the
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
5. Connect power to the device being
programmed.
6. Firmly press and hold the
programmed HomeLink button for five
seconds, and then release it. Perform
this operation two times to activate the
door or gate. If the door or gate does
not activate, press and hold the
just-trained HomeLink button and
observe the indicator light. If the
indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your
device should activate when the
HomeLink button is pressed and
released;
Note:
To program the remaining two
HomeLink buttons, begin with
“Programming” - step one.
7. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a
constant light, continue with

engine oil change interval may fluctuate,
dependent upon your personal driving
style.
Unless reset, this message will continue
to display each time you turn the
ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
To reset the oil change indicator system
(after performing the scheduled
maintenance), refer to the following
procedure
1. Place the ignition in the ON position.
(Do not start the engine.)
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal
slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Place the ignition in the OFF/LOCK
