HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the risk of
injury by restricting head movement in the event
of a rear impact. Head restraints should be
adjusted so that the top of the head restraint is
located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
Persons who are unable to feel pain to the
skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury,
medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical condition must exercise care when
using the seat heater. It may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods of time.
Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the
seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that
has been overheated could cause serious
burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
WARNING!

A loose head restraint thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could cause serious injury
or death to occupants of the vehicle. Always
securely stow removed head restraints in a
location outside the occupant compartment.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR
OPENER (HOMELINK®)
HomeLink® Buttons
Use this QR code to access your
digital experience.
HomeLink® replaces up to
three hand-held transmitters
that operate devices such as
garage door openers,
motorized gates, lighting, or
home security systems. The HomeLink® unit is
powered by your vehicle’s 12 Volt battery.
The HomeLink® buttons that are located in the
overhead console or sunvisor 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.
The HomeLink® indicator light is located
above the center button.

NOTE:
HomeLink® is disabled when the Vehicle Security
system is active
Ú
page 238.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN PROGRAMMING
H
OMELINK®
For efficient programming and accurate
transmission of the Radio Frequency (RF) 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
channels of your HomeLink® before you use it for
the first time.
ERASING ALL THE HOMELINK®
C
HANNELS
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.

NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed
when programming HomeLink® for the first time.
Do not erase channels when programming addi -
tional buttons.
IDENTIFYING WHETHER YOU HAVE A
R
OLLING CODE OR NON-ROLLING CODE
D
EVICE
Before programming a device to one of your
HomeLink® buttons, you must determine
whether the device has a rolling code or
non-rolling code.
Rolling Code Devices
To determine if your device has a rolling code, a
good indicator is its manufacturing date.
Typically, devices manufactured after 1995 have
rolling codes. A device with a rolling code will also
have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where
the antenna is attached to the device. The button
may not be immediately visible when looking at
the device. The name and color of the button may
vary slightly by manufacturer.

NOTE:
The “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button is not the button
you normally use to operate the device.
Non-rolling Code Devices
Most devices manufactured before 1995 will not
have a rolling code. These devices will also not
have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.

REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
H
OMELINK® BUTTON
To reprogram a single HomeLink® button that
has been previously trained, without erasing all
the channels, proceed as follows. 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
P
ROGRAMMING
The programming of transmitters in Canada/
United States require the transmitter signals to
“time-out” after several seconds of transmission:
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) 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.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the
cycling process to prevent possible overheating
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 HomeLink® button
you wish to program while keeping the
HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink® 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 HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.

NOTE:

•If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and the garagedoor/device should activate when the HomeLink® button is pushed.
• 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 previously
trained, follow these steps:
1. Place the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink®
button until the indicator light begins to flash
after 20 seconds. Do not release the button.
3. Without releasing the button, proceed with “Canadian/Gate Operator Programming”
step 2 and follow all remaining steps.
SECURITY
It is advised to erase all channels before you sell
or turn in your vehicle.
To do this, push and hold the two outside buttons
for 20 seconds until the indicator flashes. Note
that all channels will be erased. Individual
channels cannot be erased.
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is disabled
when the Vehicle Security system is active.
TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
If you are having trouble programming
HomeLink®, here are some of the most common
solutions:
Replace the battery in the garage door opener
hand-held transmitter.
Push the LEARN button on the garage door
opener to complete the training for a rolling
code.
Did you unplug the device for programming
and remember to plug it back in?

To open the window part way (manually), push
the window switch down briefly and release. Push
past the detent to activate “continuous
automatic” operation.
If the button is pushed again, the window will stop
in the desired position.
Pull the window switch to the first detent to move
the window upward. Pull the window switch to the
second detent, and the window will go up
automatically.
To close the window, pull the window switch up.
To stop the window during Auto-Up operation,
push or pull the window switch again.
AUTO-UP FEATURE WITH ANTI-PINCH
P
ROTECTION
The vehicle is equipped with an anti-pinch safety
device for closing the windows.
If the safety system senses any obstacle while
the window is closing, it will stop the window’s
movement and reverse it, depending on its
position. This device is also useful if the windows are
activated accidentally by children inside the
vehicle.
The anti-pinch safety function is activated both
during the manual and the automatic operation
of the window.
When the anti-pinch system is activated, the
window closing is immediately interrupted. Then
the window closing is automatically reversed and
the window lowers by about 8 inches (20 cm) in
relation to the first stop position. The window
cannot be operated during this time.

NOTE:
In the event of an error, or if the anti-pinch protec
-
tion is activated three consecutive times, the
automatic closing operation of the window will be
deactivated. In order to restore the correct opera -
tion of the system, the window must be lowered.
POWER WINDOW SYSTEM INITIALIZATION
If power supply is interrupted, the electric window
automatic operation must be reinitialized.
To perform the initialization procedure, which
must be done on each door with the doors closed,
manually fully close the window to be initialized.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as the
perception of pressure on the ears or a
helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your vehicle
may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows
down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open
or partially open positions. This is a normal
occurrence and can be minimized. If the buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, open the
front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof
open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.
POWER SUNROOF —

manually toward the rear of the vehicle.
PINCH PROTECT FEATURE
The sunroof has an anti-pinch safety system
capable of detecting the presence of an obstacle
during the closing movement. If an obstacle is
detected, the system intervenes and the
movement of the sunroof is immediately reversed
into opening.
RE-INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE
Automatic operation of the sunroof must be
re-initialized in case of faulty sunroof operation. It
may also be necessary to initialize the sunroof
after the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected
and then reconnected.

NOTE:
The anti-pinch safety device is deactivated during
the re-initialization procedure.
WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Never
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in
a location accessible to children. Do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
keyless ignition in the ON/RUN position.
Occupants, particularly unattended children,
can become entrapped by the power sunroof
while operating the power sunroof switch.
Such entrapment may result in serious injury
or death.
In a collision, there is a greater risk of being
thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof.
You could also be seriously injured or killed.
Always fasten your seat belt properly and
make sure all passengers are also properly
secured.
Do not allow small children to operate the
sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other body
parts, or any object, to project through the
