transmitters  that  operate  devices  such  as
garage  door  openers,  motorized  gates,
lighting,  or  home  security  systems.  The
HomeLink®  unit  is  powered  by  your  vehi-
cles 12 Volt battery.
The HomeLink® buttons that are located in
the overhead console or sun visor designate
the three different HomeLink® channels.
To  operate  HomeLink®,  push  and  release
any  of  the  programmed  HomeLink®
buttons.  These  buttons  will  activate  the devices  they  are  programmed  to  with  each
press  of  the  corresponding  HomeLink®
button.

Before You Begin Programming 
HomeLink®
For efficient programming and accurate trans -
mission  of  the  radio-frequency  signal,  it  is
recommended that a new battery be placed in
the hand-held transmitter of the device that is
being programmed to the HomeLink® system.
Make  sure  your  hand-held  transmitter  is
programmed  to  activate  the  device  you  are
trying to program your HomeLink® button to.
Ensure  that  your  vehicle  is  parked  outside  of
the garage before you begin programming.
It is recommended that you erase all the chan -
nels  of  your  HomeLink®  before  you  use  it  for
the first time.
Erasing All The HomeLink® Channels
To erase the channels, follow this procedure:
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
2. Push and hold the two outside HomeLink® buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds, or
until  the  HomeLink®  indicator  light
flashes.

STARTING AND OPERATING
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before  starting  the  engine,  be  sure  to  adjust
the  seat,  the  interior  rear  view  mirror,  door
mirrors, and fasten the seat belt correctly.
Never  press  the  accelerator  pedal  before
starting the engine.
If necessary, messages indicating the starting
procedure will be shown in the display.
Starting Procedure
Proceed as follows:
1. Apply  the  Electric  Park  Brake  (EPB)  andplace  the  gear  selector  in  PARK  (P)  or
NEUTRAL (N).
2. Fully  press  the  brake  pedal  without touching the accelerator.
3. Briefly push the ignition button.
4. If  the  engine  doesn't  start  within  a  few seconds,  you  need  to  repeat  the  proce -
dure.
If the problem persists, contact an authorized
dealer.
Remote Starting System
This  system  uses  the  key  fob  to  start  the
engine  conveniently  from  outside  the  vehicle
while  still  maintaining  security.  The  system
has a range of at least 300 feet (91 meters).
The remote starting system also activates the
climate  control,  the  heated  seats  (if
equipped),  and  the  heated  steering  wheel  (if
equipped),  depending  on  temperatures
outside and inside of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Obstructions between the vehicle and key fob
may reduce this range.
 WARNING!
When  leaving  the  vehicle,  always  remove
the key fob from the vehicle and lock your
vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing  children  to  be  in  a  vehicle  unat -
tended  is  dangerous  for  a  number  of
reasons.  A  child  or  others  could  be  seri -
ously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned  not  to  touch  the  parking  brake,
brake  pedal  or  the  transmission  gear
selector.
Do  not  leave  the  key  fob  in  or  near  the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to chil -
dren.  A  child  could  operate  power
windows,  other  controls,  or  move  the
vehicle.
Do  not  leave  children  or  animals  inside
parked  vehicles  in  hot  weather.  Interior
heat build-up may cause  serious  injury or
death.
 WARNING!
Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid
into  the  throttle  body  air  inlet  opening  in
an attempt to start the vehicle. This could
result  in  flash  fire  causing  serious
personal injury.
Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle
to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an
automatic transmission cannot be started
this  way.  Unburned  fuel  could  enter  the
catalytic  converter  and  once  the  engine
has  started,  ignite  and  damage  the
converter and vehicle.
If  the  vehicle  has  a  discharged  battery,
booster  cables  may  be  used  to  obtain  a
start from a booster battery or the battery
in  another  vehicle.  This  type  of  start  can
be  dangerous  if  done  improperly 
Ú
 page 201.
 CAUTION!
To  prevent  damage  to  the  starter,  do  not
continuously crank the engine for more than
25  seconds  at  a  time.  Wait  60  seconds
before trying again.
