ject on it could cause an injury in an
accident or sudden stop.
• Do not leave the tonneau cover in the

strap when it is attached to the top
tether anchor, remove the cargo
cover from the vehicle or secure it on
the cargo floor below its attachment
location. If the cargo cover is not re-
moved, it may damage the top tether
strap during a collision. Your child

POWER WINDOWS
WARNING
• Make sure that all passengers have
their hands, etc. inside the vehicle
while it is in motion and before clos-
ing the windows. Use the window
lock switch to prevent unexpected
use of the power windows.

through unintended operation of the
vehicle or its systems, including en-
trapment in windows or inadvertent
door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the as-
sistance of others, or pets unat-
tended in your vehicle. Additionally,
the temperature inside a closed ve-
hicle on a warm day can quickly be-
come high enough to cause a signifi-
cant risk of injury or death to people
and pets.
The power windows operate when the
power switch is in the ACC or ON position,
or for about 45 seconds af ter the power
switch is placed in the OFF position. If the

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
• Will operate most radio frequency de-vices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
• Is powered by your vehicle's 12–volt bat- tery. No separate batteries are required. If
the vehicle's 12–volt battery is discharged
or is disconnected, HomeLink® will retain
all programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming pro-
cedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “Programming
HomeLink®” in this section.WARNING
• Your vehicle's EV system should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. For
additional information, refer to
“Push-button power switch” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this
manual.
• Do not use the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards
became effective for opener models
manufactured af ter April 1, 1982). A
garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a clos-
ing garage door and then automati-
cally stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards. Us-
ing 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
programming.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:
Place the power switch in the ON or ACC
position (without starting the EV system)
when programming HomeLink®. 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
frequency.
