Parking brake reminder chime
The parking brake reminder chime will sound
if the vehicle is driven at more than 4 MPH (7
km/h) with the parking brake applied. Stop
the vehicle and release the parking brake.
Brake pad wear warning
The disc brake pads have audible wear
warnings. When a brake pad requires repla-
cement, it will make a high pitched scraping
sound when the vehicle is in motion. This
scraping sound will first occur only when the
brake pedal is depressed. After more wear of
the brake pad, the sound will always be
heard even if the brake pedal is not
depressed. Have the brakes checked as soon
as possible if the warning sound is heard.

dards became effective for opener
models manufactured after April 1,
1982). A garage door opener which
cannot detect an object in the path of
a closing garage door and then auto-
matically stop and reverse, does not
meet current federal safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.
. During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people
or objects are clear of the garage
door, gate, etc. that you are pro-
gramming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver.
Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless carbon
monoxide. Carbon monoxide is dan-
gerous. It can cause unconsciousness
or death.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink®web site
at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515.
NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device being programmed to
HomeLink
®for quicker programming and
accurate transmission of the radio-fre-
quency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away
from the HomeLink
®surface, keeping
the HomeLink®indicator lightin view.

2. Using both hands, simultaneously press
and hold the desired HomeLink®button
and handheld transmitter button. DO
NOT release until the HomeLink
®indi-
cator lightflashes slowly and then
rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, both buttons may be released.
(The rapid flashing indicates successful
programming.)
NOTE:
Some devices to be programmed may
require you to replace Step 2 with the
cycling procedure noted in the “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®for Canadian cus-
tomers and gate openers” (P.2-61).

3. Press and hold the programmedHomeLink®button and observe the in-
dicator light.
.If the indicator lightis solid/con-
tinuous, programming is complete
and your device should activate when
the HomeLink
®button is pressed and
released.
.If the indicator lightblinks rapidly
for two seconds and then turns to a
solid/continuous light, continue with
Steps 4-6 for a rolling code device. A
second person may make the follow-
ing steps easier. Use a ladder or other
device. Do not stand on your vehicle
to perform the next steps. 4. At the receiver located on the garage
door opener motor in the garage, locate
the “learn” or “smart” button (the name
and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer but it is usually located
near where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the unit). If there is difficulty
locating the button, reference the garage
door opener’s manual.
5. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button.
NOTE:
Once the button is pressed, you have
approximately 30 seconds to initiate the
next step.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the programmed HomeLink
®
button for two seconds and release.
Repeat the “press/hold/release” se-
quence up to 3 times to complete the
programming process. HomeLink
®
should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
7. If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming your HomeLink
®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink®web
site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-
800-355-3515.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND
GATE OPENERS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter 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 operators are designed to
“time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the “Program-
ming HomeLink
®” procedures, replace “Pro-
gramming HomeLink®” Step 2 with the
following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door opener,
etc., unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible damage to the
garage door opener components.
Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink
®
button and the hand-held transmitter but-
ton. During programming, your hand-held
transmitter may automatically stop trans-
mitting. Continue to press and hold the
desired HomeLink
®button while you press
and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held trans-

other physical condition.
INTELLIGENT ALL-WHEEL
DRIVE (AWD) DRIVING SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS (AWD models)
WARNING
.Do not drive beyond the performance
capability of the tires, even with
Intelligent AWD engaged. Accelerat-
ing quickly, sharp steering maneuvers
or sudden braking may cause loss of
control.
. Always use tires of the same type,
size, brand, construction (bias, bias-
belted or radial), and tread pattern
on all four wheels. Install tire chains
on the rear wheels when driving on
slippery roads and drive carefully.
. This vehicle is not designed for off-
road (rough road) use. Do not drive
on sandy or muddy roads that tires
may get stuck in. .
For AWD equipped vehicles, do not
attempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to
any D (Drive) or R (Reverse) position
with the engine running. Doing so
may result in drivetrain damage or
unexpected vehicle movement which
could result in serious vehicle damage
or personal injury.
. Do not attempt to test an AWD
equipped vehicle on a 2-wheel dy-
namometer (such as the dynam-
ometers used by some states for
emissions testing), or similar equip-
ment even if the other two wheels are
raised off the ground. Make sure you
inform test facility personnel that
your vehicle is equipped with AWD
before it is placed on a dynamometer.
Using the wrong test equipment may
result in drivetrain damage or unex-
pected vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage or
personal injury.
. When a wheel is off the ground due
to an unlevel surface, do not spin the
wheel excessively.
WARNING
Do not operate the push-button ignition
switch while driving the vehicle except in
an emergency. (The engine will stop
when the ignition switch is pushed 3
consecutive times or the ignition switch
is pushed and held for more than 2
seconds.) If the engine stops while the
vehicle is being driven, this could lead to
a crash and serious injury.
Before operating the push-button ignition
switch, be sure to move the shift lever to the
P (Park) position.

(AT)
The Automatic Transmission (AT) in your
vehicle is electronically controlled by a
transmission control module to produce
maximum efficiency and smooth operation.
Shown on the following pages are the
recommended operating procedures for this
transmission. Follow these procedures for
maximum vehicle performance and driving
enjoyment.
Starting the vehicle
After starting the engine, fully depress the
foot brake pedal and push the shift lever
button before shifting the shift lever to the R
(Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive) or Manual
shift mode position. Be sure the vehicle is
fully stopped before attempting to shift the
shift lever.
This Automatic Transmission (AT) model is
designed so that the foot brake pedal must
be depressed before shifting from P (Park)
to any drive position while the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
The shift lever cannot be moved out of the P
(Park) position and into any of the other
gear positions if the ignition switch is placed
in the LOCK, OFF or ACC position.1. Keep the foot brake pedal depressed and
push the shift lever button to shift into a
driving gear.
2. Release the parking brake and foot brake, then gradually start the vehicle in
motion.
WARNING
.Do not depress the accelerator pedal
while shifting from P (Park) or N
(Neutral) to R (Reverse), D (Drive) or
manual shift mode. Always depress
the brake pedal until shifting is
completed. Failure to do so could
cause you to lose control and have
an accident.
. Cold engine idle speed is high, so use
caution when shifting into a forward
or reverse gear before the engine has
warmed up.
. Never shift to either P (Park) or R
(Reverse) position while the vehicle is
moving forward and P (Park) or D
(Drive) position while the vehicle is
moving reversing. This could cause an
accident or damage the transmission.
. Do not downshift abruptly on slip-
pery roads. This may cause a loss of
control.
