UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER
(HOMELINK)
• HomeLink replaces up to three hand-heldtransmitters 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.
• To operate HomeLink, push and release any of the programmed HomeLink buttons.
These buttons will activate the devices they
are programmed to with each press of the
corresponding HomeLink button.
Before You Begin Programming
HomeLink
For efficient programming and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal, 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. Make sure your hand-held transmit-
ter is programmed to activate the device you
are trying to program your HomeLink button
to.
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of
the garage before you begin programming.
It is recommended that you erase all the
channels of your HomeLink before you use it
for the first time.

WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will openand close while you are programming
the universal transceiver. Do not pro-
gram 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 program-
ming the transceiver. Exhaust gas from
your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide
(CO) which is odorless and colorless.
Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when in-
haled and can cause you and others to
be severely injured or killed.
Programming HomeLink To A
Miscellaneous Device
Refer to “Programming HomeLink To A Ga-
rage Door Opener” for the procedure on how
to program HomeLink to a miscellaneous
device, as it follows the same procedure. Be
sure to determine if the device has a rolling
code, or non-rolling code before beginning
the programming process. NOTE:
Canadian radio frequency laws require trans-
mitter signals to time-out (or quit) after sev-
eral seconds of transmission, which may not
be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to time-out in the same manner.
The procedure may need to be preformed
multiple times to successfully pair the device
to your HomeLink buttons.
Reprogramming A Single
HomeLink Button
To reprogram a single HomeLink button that
has been previously trained, without erasing
all the channels, follow the procedure below.
Be sure to determine whether the new device
you want to program the HomeLink button to
has a Rolling Code, or Non-rolling Code.
1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN
position. NOTE:
For vehicle’s equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go, place the ignition in the RUN
position with the Engine ON. Make sure to
program HomeLink with the vehicle out-
side of the garage, or with the garage door
open at all times.
2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink but- ton until the instrument cluster display
shows the “CHANNEL # TRAINING”
message. Do not release the button.
3. Without releasing the button, proceed with
Step 2 in “Programming HomeLink To A
Garage Door Opener” and follow all re-
maining steps.

• Rear of the center console storagecompartment.
When the vehicle is turned off, be sure to
unplug any equipment as to not drain the
battery of the vehicle. All accessories con-
nected to the outlet(s) should be removed or
turned off when the vehicle is not in use to
protect the battery against discharge.WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet should be inserted into any
12 Volt outlet.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use and while
driving the vehicle.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause
an electric shock and failure.
CAUTION!
•Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw power from the vehicle's battery, even
when not in use (i.e., cellular phones,
etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge
sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or
prevent the engine from starting.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.),
will discharge the battery even more
quickly. Only use these intermittently
and with greater caution.
CAUTION!
• After the use of high power draw acces-sories, or long periods of the vehicle not
being started (with accessories still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle's bat-
tery.
Power Inverter — If Equipped
A 115 or 230 Volt (150 Watts Maximum)
outlet is located on the center stack of the
instrument panel, to the right of the radio.
This outlet can power cellular phones, elec-
tronics and other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts. Certain high-end
video game consoles will exceed this power
limit, as will most power tools.

Service TPMS Warning
If a system fault is detected, the “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring Telltale Light” will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on
solid. The system fault will also sound a
chime. In addition, the instrument cluster
will display a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" mes-
sage for a minimum of five seconds and then
display dashes (- -) in place of the pressure
value to indicate which sensor is not being
received.If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence
will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light” will
no longer flash, and the "SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM" message will no longer display, and a
pressure value will display in place of the
dashes. A system fault can occur due to any
of the following:
• Signal interference due to electronic de-
vices or driving next to facilities emitting
the same radio frequencies as the TPM
sensors.
• Installing aftermarket window tinting that contains materials that may block radio
wave signals.
• Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
• Using tire chains on the vehicle.
• Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.
A system fault may occur due to an incorrect
TPM sensor location condition. When a sys-
tem fault occurs due to an incorrect TPM
sensor location, the “Tire Pressure Monitor- ing Telltale Light” will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. The
system fault will also sound a chime. In
addition, the instrument cluster will display a
“Tire Pressure Temporarily Unavailable”
message in place of the tire pressure display
screen. If the ignition switch is cycled, this
sequence will repeat, providing the system
fault still exists. If the system fault no longer
exists, the “Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light” will no longer flash and the tire pres-
sure display screen will be displayed showing
the tire pressure values the correct locations.
Vehicles With Non Matching Full Size Spare Or
Compact Spare
• The non matching full size spare or com-
pact spare tire does not have a TPM sensor.
Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the
pressure in the non matching full size spare
or compact spare tire.
• If you install the non matching full size spare or compact spare tire in place of a
road tire that has a pressure below the
low-pressure warning limit, upon the next
ignition switch cycle, the TPM Telltale
Light and a “LOW TIRE” message will re-
main ON and a chime will sound. In addi-

tion, the graphic in the instrument cluster
will still display a pressure value in a differ-
ent color.
• After driving the vehicle for up to 20 min- utes above 15 mph (24 km/h), the TPM
Telltale Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on solid. In
addition, the instrument cluster will display
a "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message for a
minimum of five seconds and then display
dashes (- -) in place of the pressure value.
• For each subsequent ignition switch cycle, a chime will sound, the TPM Telltale Light
will flash on and off for 75 seconds and
then remain on solid, and the instrument
cluster will display a "SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM" message for a minimum of five sec-
onds and then display dashes (- -) in place
of the pressure value.
•
Once you repair or replace the original road
tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of
the non matching full size spare or compact
spare, the TPMS will update automatically.
In addition, the TPM Telltale Light will turn
OFF and the graphic in the instrument clus-
ter will display a new pressure value instead
of dashes (- -), as long as no tire pressure is below the low-pressure warning limit in any
of the four active road tires. The vehicle may
need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to
receive this information.
Tire Pressure Information System (TPIS)
3500 Series Trucks
Your vehicle may be equipped with a Tire
Pressure Information System (TPIS).
The Tire Pressure Information System (TPIS)
uses wireless technology with wheel rim
mounted electronic sensors to transmit tire
pressure levels. Sensors mounted to each
wheel as part of the valve stem transmit tire
pressure readings to the receiver module.
NOTE:
It is particularly important for you to check
the tire pressure in all of the tires on your
vehicle monthly and to maintain the proper
pressure.
The TPIS consists of the following compo-
nents:
• Receiver module
• Four TPM sensors (Single Rear Wheel
(SRW) applications)
• Six TPM sensors (Dual Rear Wheel (DRW) applications)
• Pressure display in the instrument cluster
The TPIS system will display all four (Single
Rear Wheel (SRW) applications) or six (Dual
Rear Wheel (DRW) applications) tire pressure
values in the instrument cluster display.
If a system fault is detected, the instrument
cluster will display a "SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM" message for a minimum of five seconds
and then display dashes (- -) in place of the
pressure value to indicate which sensor is not
being received.
If the ignition switch is cycled, this sequence
will repeat, providing the system fault still
exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the
"SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message will no
longer be displayed, and a pressure value will
display in place of the dashes. A system fault
can occur due to any of the following:
•
Signal interference due to electronic devices
or driving next to facilities emitting the same
radio frequencies as the TPM sensors.
