WIND BUFFETING

Wind buffeting can be described as the perception
of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in
the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting
with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped)
in certain open or partially open positions. This is a
normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the
buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, open
the front and rear windows together to minimize the
buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.

POWER SUNROOF — IF EQUIPPED
The power sunroof switch is located between
the sun visors on the overhead console.

vehicle. Never leave the key fob in or near
the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. Do not leave the ignition of a
vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go
in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants,
particularly unattended children, can
become entrapped by the power sunroof
while operating the power sunroof switch.
Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of being
thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof.
You could also be seriously injured or killed.
Always fasten your seat belt properly and
make sure all passengers are also properly
secured.

Programming A Rolling Code
For programming garage door openers that
were manufactured after 1995:
These garage door openers can be identified by
th

e “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where
the hanging antenna is attached to the garage
door opener. 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
m a

nufacturer.

Training The Garage Door Opener
1. P
lace the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

N
OTE:
For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,
p l

ace the ignition in the RUN position with the
engine ON. Make sure while programming
HomeLink® with the engine ON that your
vehicle is outside of your garage, or that the
garage door remains open at all times.
2. P lace the hand-held transmitter 1 to
3
inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the
H o

meLink® button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink® indicator
light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink® button you w
ant to program while you push and hold
the hand-held transmitter button.

4. C ontinue to hold both buttons and observe
t
he indicator light. The HomeLink® indicator
will flash slowly and then rapidly after
HomeLink® has received the frequency
signal from the hand-held transmitter.
Release both buttons after the indicator light
changes from slow to rapid.

5. A t the garage door opener (in the garage),
l
ocate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. This can usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to

the garage door opener/device motor.
F i

rmly push and release the “LEARN” or
“TRAINING” button. On some garage door
openers/devices there may be a light that
blinks when the garage door opener/device
is in the LEARN/TRAIN mode.
NOTE:
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the
n e

xt step after the LEARN button has been
pushed.
6. R eturn to the vehicle and push the
p
rogrammed HomeLink® button twice
(holding the button for two seconds each
time). If the garage door opener/device
activates, programming is complete.
NOTE:

If the garage door opener/device does not
activate, push the button a third time (for
two seconds) to complete the training.

To program the remaining two
HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step
