Driver Controls To vent the dual panel moon roof: Press and quickly release the TILT control (moon roof is equipped with, automatic, one-touch, tilt open feature). The moon roof must be in the closed position in order to move it into the vent position. To close dual panel moon roof from vent: Pull and quickly release the TILT control down to close the glass from the vent position to close (moon roof is equipped with automatic, one-touch, tilt close feature). Note: You can open and close the vehicle's windows and moon roof (if equipped) by using the door key in the driver door key cylinder or the control on the remote transmitter. Refer to Power door locks in the Locks and Security chapter. HOMELINK WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM The HomeLink 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. WARNING: When programming your HomeLink Wireless Control System to a garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of the way to prevent potential injury or damage. Do not use the HomeLink 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 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 equipped vehicle purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed Homelink buttons be erased for security purposes, refer to Programming in this section. 80

HOMELINK

WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM

The HomeLink

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.

WARNING:

When programming your HomeLink

Wireless

Control System to a garage door or gate, be sure that people and

objects are out of the way to prevent potential injury or damage.

Do not use the HomeLink

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

at:

www.homelink.com

1–800–355–3515.

Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for

future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLink

equipped vehicle

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

programmed Homelink

buttons be erased for security purposes, refer to

Programming

in this section.
