■ Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter remote signals
to “time-out” (or quit) after several 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 opera-
tors are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. The indicator
LED on the hand-held remote will go off when the device times out,
indicating that it has finished transmitting.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a
gate operator or garage door opener by using the programming
procedures, replace “Programming a New HomeLink Button”
with the following:
While the HomeLink indicator light is flashing orange, press and
release (“cycle”) your device’s hand-held remote every two sec-
onds until the HomeLink indicator light changes from orange to
green. You may now release the hand-held remote button.
If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to
unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible over-
heating.
Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” to com-
plete.

Using HomeLinkTo operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink but-
ton. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door
opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office
lighting, etc.). For convenience, the handheld remote of the device
may also be used at any time.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink ButtonTo program a previously trained button, follow these steps: Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT
release the button.
The indicator light will begin to slowly flash orange after 20
seconds. The HomeLink button can be released at this point.
Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” -.
If you do not complete the programming of a new device to
the button, it will revert to the previously stored programming.
Erasing HomeLink Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons (individual buttons can-
not be erased but can be “reprogrammed” as outlined below), follow
the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons for at least 10 sec-
onds. The LED indicator will change from continuously lit to rapidly
flashing. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than 20 sec-
onds. HomeLink is now ready to be programmed at any time begin-
ning with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” - .

■Parts containing resin such as the bumper
Do not scrub with abrasive cleaners.
■ Brake (vehicles with brembo brake)
●Painted brake calipers
• When using detergent, use neutral detergent. Do not use hard brushes
or abrasive cleaners, as they will damage the paint.
• Do not use detergent on the brake calipers when they are hot.
• Wash detergent off immediately after use.
● Rust may form if the vehicle is parked with wet brake pads or disc rotors,
causing them to stick. Before parking the vehicle after it is washed, drive
slowly and apply the brakes several times to dry the parts.
■ When washing the vehicle
Wear rubber gloves and use a hand brush when washing down underbody,
inner fenders and suspension to effectively remove mud and dirt off.
WARNING
■ When washing the vehicle
●Do not wash the engine compartment and area adjacent to it. If water
enters the engine air intake or electric al parts it will cause engine trouble or
a malfunction of the power steering.
● When washing the vehicle, the brakes may get wet. As a result, the brake
stopping distance will be longer. To dry the brakes, drive the vehicle at a
safe speed while lightly depressing the brake pedal to heat up the brakes.
● When washing inner fenders, under body, bumpers and protruding objects
such as exhaust pipes and exhaust finishers, be careful to prevent injuries
from contacting sharp ends.
■ Precautions regarding the exhaust pipes
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipes and rear bumper diffusers to
become quite hot.
When washing the vehicle, be careful not to touch the pipes and diffusers
until they have cooled sufficiently, as touching hot exhaust pipes and rear
bumper diffusers can cause burns.

CAUTION
■
To prevent paint deterioration and corrosion on the body and compo-
nents (alloy wheels etc.)
● Wash the vehicle immediately in the following cases:
• After driving near the sea coast
• After driving on salted roads
• If you see coal tar or tree sap on the paint surface
• If you see dead insects, insect droppings or bird droppings on the paint
• After driving in an area contaminated with soot, oily smoke, mine dust,
iron powder or chemical substances
• If the vehicle becomes heavily soiled in dust or mud
• If liquids such as benzene and gasoline are spilled on the paint surface
● If the paint is chipped or scratched, have it repaired immediately.
● To prevent the wheels from corroding, remove any dirt and store in a place
with low humidity when storing the wheels.
■ Protective film for side sill plates
Make sure to remove the protective film. Failure to do so may cause rust,
depending on conditions.
■ Cleaning the exterior lights
● Wash carefully. Do not use organic subs tances or scrub with a hard brush.
This may damage the surfaces of the lights.
● Do not apply wax on the surfaces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■ To prevent damage to the windshield wiper arms
When lifting the wiper arms away from the windshield, pull the driver side
wiper arm upward first, and repeat for the passenger side. When returning
the wipers to their original position, do so from the passenger side first.

CAUTION
■
Cleaning detergents
● Do not use organic substances such as benzene or gasoline, acidic or
alkaline solutions, dye, bleach or other detergent. Doing so may discolor
the vehicle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces.
● Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel's or other
interior part’s painted surface may be damaged.
● Do not use a chemical agent containing silicone (highly-polymerized sili-
con compound) when cleaning any of the electrical appliances such as the
air conditioning, all switc hes and their surrounding areas.
If silicon (highly-polymerized silicon compound) contacts these compo-
nents, it may cause the electrical appliances to malfunction.
■ Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces.
● Remove any dust, dirt, sand, oil spots etc. on leather surfaces immedi-
ately.
● Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
● Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or that contain wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats
up significantly.
■ Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes
into contact with electrical components under the floor of the vehicle, and
may also cause the body to rust.

Cleaning and protecting the Alcantara® area∗
∗: If equipped
The following procedures will protect and keep your vehicle’s
Alcantara
® upholstery in top condition:
■ Day-to-day cleaning
Perform the following procedures regularly (approximately once
a month).
Wipe the entire Alcantara
® area with a soft cloth that has
been dampened with lukewarm water (approximately 104 °F
[40 °C]) and squeezed out.
Do not wipe too hard. Doing so may make the Alcantara® uphol-
stery surface become uneven. Also, only use a clean cloth.
Once dry, brush the area with a soft brush.
■ Liquid stains
●If liquid is spilled, lightly pat the area with a tissue paper or
similar to soak up the liquid.
● When mud, coffee, etc., has dried on the Alcantara
® uphol-
stery, remove it by lightly brushing the area with a soft brush
or similar.
We recommend using a vacuum cleaner to clean up the area after
the above has been performed.
When a stain cannot be removed using the above procedures,
remove it by performing the following:
Lightly wipe the stained area from the outside to the inside
from multiple angles with a soft cloth that has been damp-
ened with lukewarm water (approximately 104 °F [40 °C])
and squeezed out.
Do not wipe the area so strongly that it causes the Alcantara®
upholstery surface to become uneven. Also, prepare a clean
cloth, and always use a clean area of the cloth.
