2. Push the programmed HomeLink® buttonto confirm that the garage door opener
motor operates. If the garage door opener
motor does not operate, repeat the steps
from the beginning.
Programming HomeLink® To A
Miscellaneous Device
Follow the procedure on programming Home -
Link® to a garage door opener
Ú
page 40. Be
sure to determine if the device has a rolling
code, or non-rolling code before beginning the
programming process.

NOTE:

Canadian radio frequency laws require trans -
mitter 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. The
procedure may need to be performed multiple
times to successfully pair the device to your
HomeLink® buttons.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink®
Button
To reprogram a single HomeLink® button that
has been previously trained, without erasing
all the channels, follow the procedure below.
Be sure to determine whether the new device
you want to program the HomeLink® button to
has a Rolling Code, or Non-rolling Code.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position,
without starting the engine.
2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the HomeLink® indicator light
begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not
release the button.
3. Without releasing the button , proceed with
Step 2 in “Programming HomeLink® To A
Garage Door Opener” and follow all
remaining steps.
Canadian/Gate Operator Programming
The programming of transmitters in Canada/
United States require the transmitter signals
to “time-out” after several seconds of trans -
mission. Canadian radio frequency laws require trans
-
mitter 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.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during
the cycling process to prevent possible over -
heating of the garage door or gate motor.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the Home -
Link® button you wish to program while
keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in
view.
3. Continue to press and hold the Home -
Link® button, while you press and release
(cycle) your hand-held transmitter every
two seconds until HomeLink® has
successfully accepted the frequency
signal. The indicator light will flash slowly
and then rapidly when fully trained.
4. Watch for the HomeLink® indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is
programmed. It may take up to 30 seconds
or longer in rare cases. The garage door
may open and close while you are
programming.
5. Press and hold the programmed Home -
Link® button and observe the indicator
light.
WARNING!
Your motorized door or gate will open and
close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate.

Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or
confined area while programming the transceiver.
Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless.
Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and
can cause you and others to be severely injured or
killed.

door/device should activate when the
HomeLink® button is pressed.
To program the two remaining HomeLink®
buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the chan-
nels.
If you unplugged the garage door opener/
device for programming, plug it back in at this
time.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button
(Canadian/Gate Operator)
To reprogram a channel that has been previ -
ously trained, follow these steps:

Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control
System adjusts the temperature and air distri-
bution independently between the driver and
passenger.
The system maintains the set temperature
inside the passenger compartment and
compensates for outside temperature change.

NOTE:

The reference temperature is 72°F (22°C) for
optimal comfort management.
The automatic setting will adjust the following
to maintain comfort within the passenger
compartment:
Air temperature from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Air distribution from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Fan speed (continuous variation of the air
flow)
Compressor variations (for cooling/dehu -
midifying the air)
Air recirculation
The Climate Control System can also be oper -
ated manually by using the buttons and knobs
on the faceplate.
Manual selections will override the automatic
settings, which are stored until the AUTO
button is pushed. If the system intervenes for
safety reasons, the automatic setting will take
control of the system.
The below operations will not deactivate the
automatic (AUTO) function:
Air Recirculation activation/deactivation
A/C activation/deactivation
SYNC function activation
Rear Window Defrost activation/deactiva -
tion
When in AUTO mode, the vehicle’s internal
temperature is controlled according to the set
temperature.
The following can be manually set or adjusted:
Driver/passenger air temperature
Blower speed (continuous variation)
Air distribution (seven positions for driver
and passenger)
A/C activation
Front Defroster
Air recirculation
Rear Defroster
System deactivation
A/C Compressor
Push the A/C button or the icon to activate or
deactivate the A/C compressor (indicator illu-
minated when activated). The A/C compressor
will remain off even after the engine has
stopped.
When the A/C compressor is turned off, the
system deactivates air recirculation to prevent
the windows from fogging up. If the climate
control system can maintain the temperature,
with the A/C turned off, the AUTO feature will
remain on and the AUTO button indicator light
will not switch off.
To restore automatic control of the A/C
compressor, push the A/C button or the icon or
the AUTO button. With the A/C compressor off,
the air speed can be set manually using the Air
Speed Adjustment Knob.
When the A/C compressor is on, and the
engine is running, air speed cannot be lower
than the minimum speed (only one indicator
light is lit).
CAUTION!
The system uses R1234yf refrigerant,
which does not pollute the environment in
the event of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances, use R134a and R12 fluids,
which are incompatible with the
components of this system.

52

NOTE:

When the A/C is off, the Climate Control
system can not produce air that is colder than
the current outside temperature. Under
certain environmental conditions, windows
could fog up rapidly since the air is not dehu-
midified.
Air Recirculation And Air Quality System (AQS)
Air Recirculation is managed
according to the following operating
mode:
Automatic engagement: indicator is illumi -
nated above the “A” on the Air Recirculation
Button
Forced activation (air circulation always
activated): indicator illuminated above the
icon on the Air Recirculation Button
Forced deactivation (air recirculation
always off with intake of outside air): both
indicators not illuminated on the Air Recir-
culation Button
The three operating conditions are obtained by
pushing the Air Recirculation Button in
sequence.
Enabling The Air Quality System (AQS) Func -
tion — If Equipped
When the automatic recirculation function is
selected, the AQS function automatically acti -
vates internal air recirculation when the
outside air is polluted (e.g. in heavy traffic and
tunnels). At low external temperatures or in high
humidity, the automatic function turns off to
avoid fogging up the windows. The user can
select the function again by pushing the Air
Recirculation Button.
In automatic operation, air recirculation will be
controlled by the system according to outside
environmental conditions.

NOTE:

With the AQS function active and after the
internal air recirculation system has been
functioning for a set amount of time, the
Climate Control System enables air intake
to cycle the air in the passenger compart
-
ment for a set time. The AQS function is
disabled during the air changes.
The engagement of the recirculation system
makes it possible to reach the required
heating or cooling conditions faster. It is,
however, inadvisable to use it on rainy/cold
days as it can increase the possibility of the
windows fogging. When the outside
temperature is low, recirculation is forced
off to prevent the windows from fogging up.
Front Defrost
Air comes from the windshield and
side window demist outlets. Use
Defrost mode with maximum
temperature settings for best wind -
shield and side window defrosting and defog -
ging.
Rear Defrost
Push the Rear Defrost button to acti -
vate (indicators illuminated) the
Rear Defroster.
The Rear Defrost will turn off after 20 minutes
or once the engine is turned off.

NOTE:

To avoid damage, do not apply stickers over
the interior heating filaments of the Rear
Defroster.
Front Defrost And MAX-DEF Function
Push the MAX-DEF button (indicator
illuminated) to defrost the wind -
shield and side windows.
While in MAX-DEF function, the air conditioner
will:
Activate the air conditioner compressor
when the weather allows
Turn air recirculation off
Set the maximum air temperature (HI) on
both the driver and passenger side
Activate a blower speed based on the
temperature of the engine coolant
Adjust the air flow towards the windshield
and front side windows
Activate the Rear Window Defrost
Display the fan speed (indicators illumi -
nated) and current air distribution setting
21_GU_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 52

NOTE:

The MAX-DEF function remains active for
approximately three minutes once the engine
coolant reaches the proper temperature.
When the function is on, AUTO mode will deac-
tivate. The only manual operations possible
are adjusting blower speed and turning off the
Rear Window Defrost.
Pushing the button switches off the
MAX-DEF function.
