NOTE:
HomeLink is disabled when the Vehicle Security Alarm is
active. NOTE:
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.
WARNING!
• 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 trans -
ceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and
reverse” feature as required by Federal safety stan -
dards. This includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door
opener without these safety features.
• 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.

Before You Begin Programming HomeLink
Be sure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage
before you begin programming.
For more 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.
To erase the channels, place the ignition in the ON/RUN
position, and push and hold the two outside HomeLink
buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds or until the orange
indicator flashes.
NOTE:
• Erasing all channels should only be performed whenprogramming HomeLink for the first time. Do not erase
channels when programming additional buttons.

• If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at HomeLink.com
for information or assistance.

by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the
hanging antenna is attached to the garage door opener.
NOTE:
It is NOT the button that is normally used to open and close
the door. The name and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.

Electrical Power Outlets

The auxiliary 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlet can provide
power for in-cab accessories designed for use with the stan -
dard “cigar lighter” plug. The 12 Volt power outlets and 5 Volt
(2.5 Amp) USB Port (Charge Only) have a cap attached to the
outlet indicating “12V DC,” together with either a key symbol,
battery symbol, or USB symbol.
A key symbol indicates that the key must be in the ON/RUN
or ACC positions for the outlet to provide power. The battery
symbol indicates that the outlet is connected to the battery,
and can provide power at all times.
CAUTION!

• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watts (13 Amps) power rating is
exceeded, the fuse protecting the system will need to be
replaced.

• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only. Do not insert any other object in the power outlets as this
will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use
of the power outlet can cause damage not covered by
your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.2

When the vehicle is turned off, be sure to unplug any equip -
ment as to not drain the battery of the vehicle. All accessories
connected 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.

Power Inverter — If Equipped
If equipped, a 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum) inverter may
be located inside the center console towards the right hand
side, just under the Wireless Charging Pad (if equipped).
This inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts.Certain high-end video game consoles exceed this power
limit, as will most power tools.
Center Console Power Inverter Outlet
There is also a second 115 Volt (400 Watts Maximum) power
inverter located on the rear of the center console. This
inverter can power cellular phones, electronics and other low
power devices requiring power up to 400 Watts. Certain
high-end video game consoles exceed this power limit, as
will most power tools.
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.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with accesso -
ries still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a suffi -
cient length of time to allow the generator to recharge
the vehicle's battery.

Base / Midline Instrument Cluster Descriptions
1. Tachometer• Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute(RPM x 1000).
2. Voltmeter
• When the vehicle is in the RUN state, the gauge indi -
cates the electrical system voltage. The pointer should
stay within the normal range if the battery is charged.
If the pointer moves to either extreme left or right and
remains there during normal driving, the electrical
system should be serviced.
3. Instrument Cluster Display
• When the appropriate conditions exist, this displayshows the instrument cluster display messages. Refer
to “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel” for further information. 4. Oil Pressure Gauge
• The pointer should always indicate the oil pressurewhen the engine is running. A continuous high or low
reading under normal driving conditions may indicate
a lubrication system malfunction. Immediate service
should be obtained from an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
In vehicles equipped with Stop/Start, an oil pressure indica -
tion of zero is normal during an Autostop.
5. Speedometer
• Indicates vehicle speed.
