HOMELINK WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The HomeLink Wireless Control System, located on the overheadconsole, provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-heldtransmitters with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radiofrequency codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors,entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home oroffice lighting.

When programming your HomeLink Wireless Control System toa garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of

the way to prevent potential harm or damage.

Do not use the HomeLink Wireless Control System with any garagedoor opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required byU.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door openermodel manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannotdetect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meetcurrent U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contactHomeLink at: www.homelink.com or 18003553515.

Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as forfuture programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLink equipped vehiclepurchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, theprogrammed Homelink buttons be erased for security purposes, refer toProgramming in this section.

Programming

Do not program HomeLink with the vehicle parked in the garage.

Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to thesecond (or ACC) position for programming and/or operation of theHomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in thehand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink forquicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

ELECTRONIC COMPASS/TEMPERATURE DISPLAY (IF EQUIPPED)

OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE

The outside temperature display iscontained in the instrument clusterand displays all the time. Ifequipped with the DEATC climatecontrol system, the outsidetemperature will be displayed there.

To turn the display off or change the display from English to metric seeyour dealer.

Compass

The compass reading may be affected when you drive near large

buildings, bridges, power lines and powerful broadcast antennas.Magnetic or metallic objects placed in, on or near the vehicle may alsoaffect compass accuracy.

Usually, when something affects the compass readings, the compass willcorrect itself after a few days of operating your vehicle in normalconditions. If the compass still appears to be inaccurate, a manualcalibration may be necessary. Refer to Compass calibrationadjustment.

Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point thatvaries slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is fourdegrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as thevehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate thiserror. Refer to Compass zone adjustment.

Compass zone adjustment

1. Determine which magnetic zoneyou are in for your geographiclocation by referring to the zonemap.

2. Turn ignition to the ON position.
