To lock the child safety lock, insert a
key (or screw driver) (1) into the hole
and turn it to the lock position.
To allow a rear door to be opened
from inside the vehicle, unlock the
child safety lock.This system helps to protect your
vehicle and valuables. The horn will
sound and the hazard warning lights
will blink continuously if any of the
following occur:
- A door is opened without using the
smart key.
- The liftgate is opened without
using the smart key.
- The engine hood is opened.
The alarm continues for 30 seconds,
then the system resets. To turn off
the alarm, unlock the doors with the
smart key.
The Theft Alarm System automati-
cally sets 30 seconds after you lock
the doors and the liftgate. For the
system to activate, you must lock the
doors and the liftgate from outside
the vehicle with the smart key or by
pressing the button on the outside of
the door handles with the smart key
in your possession.
The hazard warning lights will blink
and the chime will sound once to
indicate the system is armed.Once the security system is set,
opening any door, the liftgate, or the
hood without using the smart key will
cause the alarm to activate.
The Theft Alarm System will not set if
the hood, the liftgate, or any door is
not fully closed. If the system will not
set, check the hood, the liftgate, or
the doors are fully closed.
Do not attempt to alter this system or
add other devices to it.
Information
• Do not lock the doors until all pas-
sengers have left the vehicle. If the
remaining passenger leaves the
vehicle when the system is armed,
the alarm will be activated.
• If the vehicle is not disarmed with
the smart key, open the doors by
using the mechanical key and start
the vehicle by directly pressing the
Engine Start/Stop button with the
smart key.
• When the system is disarmed but a
door or liftgate is not opened within
30 seconds, the system will be
rearmed.

If you need to recalibrate the com-
pass:
1.Press and hold the Control Button
for more than 6 seconds. When the
compass memory is cleared, a "C"
will appear in the display.
2.Drive the vehicle in 2 complete cir-
cles at less than 5 mph (8 km/h).Integrated HomeLink®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 for
future HomeLink
®programming. It is
also suggested that upon the sale of
the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®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 the
HomeLink
®with any garage door
opener that lacks the safety stop
and reverse features required by
U.S. federal safety standards
(this includes any garage door
opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage
door that cannot detect an object
- signaling the door to stop and
reverse - does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener
without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or
death.

4. Press the Original Transmitter
(OT) button until the indicator (4)
is turned continuously ON or
flashes in Green for approximately
10 seconds and it indicates the
programing is completed.
5. However, the indicator (4) flashes
in Green continuously, but if the
garage door opener does not
operate, please continue to follow
the step 6 and 7 (“Rolling Code
Programming” procedures).6. Firmly press and release the
“Learn,” “Smart,” or “Program” but-
ton while the indicator (4) flashes

Information
At the garage door opener motor,
(security gate motor, etc.) locate the
“Learn,” “Smart,” or “Program” but-
ton. This can usually be found where
the hanging antenna wire is attached
to the motor-head unit (see the
device’s manual to identify this but-
ton). The name and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer. A ladder
and/or second person may simplify
the following steps. 7. Return to the vehicle and firmly
press, hold for two seconds and
release the HomeLink button up to
three times. Do not press the
HomeLink button rapidly. At this
point programming is complete
and your device should operate
when the HomeLink button is
pressed and released.Information
• Some garage door openers require
to press the programmed button on
the mirror up to three times right
after the programming is just com-
pleted to operate the garage door.
• The indicator (4) is turned ON in
Orange and flashes for about 60sec-
onds, during the programing mode
and if a programing is not succeed-
ed within the 60 seconds, the pro-
graming mode will be abort.
HomeLink
®should now activate your

approximately 12 inches (30 cm)
from the closed position) and push
down to securely lock in place.
Then double check to be sure the
hood is secure. If the hood can be
raised slightly, it is not securely
locked. Open it again and close it
with more force.
Liftgate
Opening the liftgate
Make sure the shift lever is in P
(Park).
Then do one of the following:
1. Unlock all doors with the Door
Unlock button on your smart key.
Press the liftgate handle button
and open the liftgate.
2. Press and hold the Liftgate Unlock

liftgate handle button and open
the liftgate.
3. With the Smart Key in your pos-
session, press the liftgate handle
button and open the liftgate.Before closing the hood,
ensure all obstructions are
removed from around the
hood opening.
Always double check to be
sure that the hood is firmly
latched before driving away.
Check there is no hood open
warning light or message dis-
played on the instrument clus-
ter. Driving with the hood
opened may cause a total loss
of visibility, which might
result in an accident.
Do not move the vehicle with
the hood in the raised posi-
tion, as vision is obstructed,
which might result in an acci-
dent, and the hood could fall
or be damaged.

liftgate before driving your vehi-
cle. Possible damage may occur
to the liftgate lift cylinders and
attached hardware if the liftgate
is not closed prior to driving.
CAUTION
Do not hold the part (gas lifter)
that supports the liftgate. Be
aware that the deformation of
the part may cause vehicle
damage and a risk of safety

sure inside the tank equalizes.
5. Place the cap on the fuel filler door.
Information
If the fuel filler door does not open
because ice has formed around it, tap
lightly or push on the door to break
the ice and release the door. Do not
pry on the door. If necessary, spray
around the door with an approved de-
icer fluid (do not use radiator anti-
freeze) or move the vehicle to a warm
place and allow the ice to melt.
Closing the fuel filler door
1. To install the fuel tank cap, turn it
clockwise until it "clicks" one time.
2. Close the fuel filler door until it is
latched securely.

Gasoline is highly flammable
and explosive. Failure to follow
these guidelines may result in
SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
Read and follow all warnings
posted at the gas station.
Before refueling, note the
location of the Emergency
Gasoline Shut-Off, if available,
at the gas station.
Before touching the fuel noz-
zle, you should eliminate the
potential build-up of static
electricity by touching a metal
part of the vehicle, a safe dis-
tance away from the fuel filler
neck, nozzle, or other gas
source, with your bare hand.

WARNING
(Continued)
Do not use cellular phones
while refueling. Electric cur-
rent and/or electronic interfer-
ence from cellular phones can
potentially ignite fuel vapors
and cause a fire.
Do not get back into a vehicle
once you have begun refuel-
ing. You can generate a build-
up of static electricity by
touching, rubbing or sliding
against any item or fabric
capable of producing static
electricity. Static electricity
discharge can ignite fuel
vapors causing a fire. If you
must re-enter the vehicle, you
should once again eliminate
potentially dangerous static
electricity discharge by touch-
ing a metal part of the vehicle,
away from the fuel filler neck,
nozzle or other gasoline
source, with your bare hand.
