Information
The following symptoms may occur
during normal vehicle operation:
The steering effort may be high immediately after placing the igni-
tion switch in the ON position.
This happens as the system per-
forms the EPS system diagnostics.
When the diagnostics are complet-
ed, the steering wheel will return to
its normal condition.
A click noise may be heard from the EPS relay after the ignition switch is
in the ON or LOCK/OFF position.
Motor noise may be heard when the vehicle is at a stop or at a low driv-
ing speed.
When you operate the steering wheel in low temperatures, abnor-
mal noise may occur. If the temper-
ature rises, the noise will disappear.
This is a normal condition.
When an error is detected from the EPS, the steering effort assist func-
tion will not be activated in order to
prevent fatal accidents. Instrument
cluster warning lights may be on or
the steering effort may be high.
When the following symptoms
occur, immediately drive the vehicle
to a safe area and check it.Tilt Steering / Telescope Steering
Adjust the steering wheel so it points
toward your chest, not toward your
face. Make sure you can see the
instrument cluster warning lights and
gauges. After adjusting, push the
steering wheel both up and down to
be certain it is locked in position.
Always adjust the position of the
steering wheel before driving.
To change the steering wheel angleand height:
1. Pull down the lock-release lever (1).
2. Adjust the steering wheel to thedesired angle (2) and distance for-
ward/back (3).
3. Pull up the lock-release lever to lock the steering wheel in place.
Information
After adjustment, sometimes the lock
release lever may not lock the steering
wheel. It is not a malfunction. This
occurs when two gears are not
engaged correctly. In this case, adjust
the steering wheel again and then lock
the steering wheel.

Mirror automatically
reduces glare by monitoring light lev- els in the front and the rear of the
vehicle. Any object that obstructs
either light sensor will degrade the
automatic dimming control feature.
For more information regarding NVS ®

these situations, the compass will
need to be re-calibrated to quickly
correct these changes.

Wireless
Control System
The HomeLink ®
Wireless Control
System can 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 operators,
garage door openers, entry door
locks, security systems, even home
lighting. Both standard and rolling
code-equipped transmitters can be
programmed by following the out-
lined procedures. Additional HomeLink ®
information
can be found at: www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you are programming for
use in other vehicles as well as forfuture HomeLink ®
programming. It is
also suggested that upon the sale of
the vehicle, the programmedHomeLink ®
buttons be erased for
security purposes.Before programming HomeLink ®
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm
or damage. Do not use theHomeLink ®
with any garage
door opener that lacks the safe-
ty stop and reverse features
required by federal safety stan-
dards (this includes any garage
door opener model manufac-
tured before April 1, 1982). A
garage door that cannot detectan object - signaling the door to
stop and reverse - does not meet
current federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener
without these features increases
the risk of serious injury ordeath.

Programming HomeLink®
Please note the following:
When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park the
vehicle outside of the garage.
It is recommended that a new bat- tery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink ®
for quicker
training and accurate transmission
of the radio-frequency signal.
Some vehicles may require the igni- tion switch to be placed in the ACC
(or "Accessories") position for pro-
gramming and/or operation ofHomeLink ®
.
In the event that there are still pro- gramming difficulties or questions
after following the programming
steps listed below, contactHomeLink ®
at: www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Programming
To train most devices, follow these
instructions:
1. For first-time programming, press and hold the two outside buttons ( ,), HomeLink ®
Channel 1
and Channel 3, until the indicatorlight begins to flash (after 10 sec-
onds). Release both buttons. Do
not hold the buttons for longer
than 20 seconds. 2. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 2-8 cm (1-3 inches)
away from the HomeLink ®
button
you wish to program while keeping
the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink ®
and hand-
held transmitter buttons until theHomeLink ®
indicator light changes
from a slow to a rapid blinking
