The power window controls located on the driver's door trim

panel have up-down switches that give you fingertip control of

all power windows. There is a single opening and closing

switch on the front passenger door for passenger window

control and on the rear doors for rear window control. The

windows will operate when the ignition switch is turned to the

ON/RUN or ACC position, and for up to 10 minutes after the

ignition is turned OFF or until a front door is opened.
NOTE:

The Key Off Power Delay feature will allow the power

windows to operate for up to 10 minutes after the ignition is

turned OFF. This feature is cancelled when either front door

is opened.

Auto-Down

Both the driver and front passenger window switch have an

Auto-Down feature. Push the window switch past the first

detent, release, and the window will go down automatically.

WARNING!

Never leave children unattended in a vehicle. Do not

leave the key fob in or near the vehicle or in a location

accessible to children, and do not leave the ignition of a

vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC

or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly unattended

children, can become entrapped by the windows while

operating the power window switches. Such entrapment

may result in serious injury or death.

Canadian/Gate Operator Programming

For programming transmitters in Canada/United States that

require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after several

seconds of transmission.
Canadian radio frequency 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. Cycle the ignition to 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.

102 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button, while

you press and release (“cycle”) your hand-held trans-

mitter every two seconds until HomeLink has success-

fully 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 garage door/device should acti-

vate when the HomeLink button is pressed.
