direction and move down. This is known as “bounce-back”. If the ignition
is turned OFF (without accessory delay being active) during
bounce-back, the window will move down until the bounce back position
is reached.

Security Override

If during a bounce-back condition, the switch is released to the neutral
position, then held in the one touch up position within two seconds after
the window reaches the bounce-back position, the window will travel
up with no bounce-back protection. If the switch is released before
the window reaches fully closed or the ignition is turned OFF (without
accessory delay being active), the window will stop. Security override
can be used if the window movement is restricted in some way, for
example, if there is ice on the window or seals.

AUTOMATIC DIMMING REAR VIEW MIRRORS

Your vehicle is equipped with an
inside rear view mirror and a
driver’s outside mirror that has an
auto-dimming function. The
electronic day/night mirror will
change from the normal (high
reflective) state to the non-glare
(darkened) state when bright lights (glare) reach the mirror. When the
mirror detects bright light from behind the vehicle, it will automatically
adjust (darken) to minimize glare.

The mirror will automatically return to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R (Reverse) to ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.

Do not block the sensor on the backside of the inside rear view mirror
since this may impair proper mirror performance.

EXTERIOR MIRRORS

Power side view mirrors

To adjust your mirrors:

1. Rotate the control clockwise to
adjust the right mirror and rotate
the control counterclockwise to
adjust the left mirror.

2. Move the control in the direction
you wish to tilt the mirror.

3. Return to the center position to
lock mirrors in place.

HOMELINK

姞 WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM

The HomeLink

威 Wireless Control

System, located on the driver’s visor,
provides a convenient way to
replace up to three hand-held
transmitters with a single built-in
device. This feature will learn the
radio frequency codes of most
transmitters to operate garage
doors, entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks, and
home or office lighting.

When programming your HomeLink

威 Wireless Control System to

a 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

威 Wireless Control System with any garage

door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by
U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot
detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact
HomeLink

威 at: www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.

Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for
future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLink

威 equipped vehicle

purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed Homelink

威 buttons be erased for security purposes, refer to

Programming in this section.

Programming

Do not program HomeLink

威 with the vehicle parked in the garage.

Note: Your vehicle may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
ACC position for programming and/or operation of the HomeLink

威. It is

also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink

威 for quicker

training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

program additional HomeLink

威 buttons begin with Step 2 in the

“Programming” section. For questions or comments, please contact
HomeLink at www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.

Gate Operator & Canadian Programming

During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may
automatically stop transmitting —
not allowing enough time for
HomeLink

威 to accept the signal

from the hand-held transmitter.

After completing Steps 1 and 2
outlined in the “Programming”
section, replace Step 3 with the following:

Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is
advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent
overheating.
• Continue to press and hold the HomeLink威 button (note Step 3 in the

“Programming” section) while you press and release — every two
seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency
signal has been accepted by the HomeLink

威. The indicator light will

flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink

威 accepts the radio

frequency signal.

• Proceed with Step 4 in the “Programming” section.

Distance to empty (DTE)

Selecting this function from the
INFO menu estimates approximately
how far you can drive with the fuel
remaining in your tank under
normal driving conditions.
Remember to turn the ignition OFF
when refueling to allow this feature to correctly detect the added fuel.

The DTE function will display LOW FUEL LEVEL when you have
approximately 50 miles (80 km) to empty. If you RESET this warning
message, this display will return within 10 minutes.

DTE is calculated using a running average fuel economy, which is based on
your recent driving history of 500 miles (800 km). This value is not the same
as the average fuel economy display. The running average fuel economy is
reinitialized to a factory default value if the battery is disconnected.

Average fuel economy (AFE)

Select this function from the INFO
menu to display your average fuel
economy in miles/gallon or liters/100
km.

If you calculate your average fuel
economy by dividing gallons of fuel
used by gallons of fuel used by 100 miles traveled (kilometers traveled
by liters used), your figure may be different than displayed for the
following reasons:
• Your vehicle was not perfectly level during fill-up
• Differences in the automatic shut-off points on the fuel pumps at

service stations

• Variations in top-off procedure from one fill-up to another
• Rounding of the displayed values to the nearest 0.1 gallon (liter)
1. Drive the vehicle at least 5 miles (8 km) with the speed control
system engaged to display a stabilized average.

2. Record the highway fuel economy for future reference.

It is important to press the RESET control (press and hold RESET for 2
Seconds in order to reset the function) after setting the speed control to
get accurate highway fuel economy readings.

For more information refer to Fuel Information in the Maintenance
and Specifications chapter.
