Rear Seats

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 conditions,
must exercise care when using the seat
heater. The seat heater may cause burns
even at low temperatures, especially if
used for long periods of time. Do not place
anything on the seat that insulates against
heat, such as a blanket or cushion,
because this may cause the seat heater to
overheat. Do not puncture the seat with
pins, needles, or other pointed objects
because this may damage the heating
element which may cause the seat heater
to overheat. An overheated seat may
cause serious personal injury.

Do not do the following:
•

Place heavy objects on the seat.

•

Operate the seat heater if water or any
other liquid is spilled on the seat. Allow
the seat to dry thoroughly.

UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR
OPENER

HomeLink Wireless Control System

WARNING: Do not use the system

with any garage door opener that does not
have the safety stop and reverse feature
as required by U.S. Federal Safety
Standards (this includes any garage door
opener manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door opener which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death.

Note: Make sure that the garage door and
security device are free from obstruction
when you are programming. Do not program
the system with the vehicle in the garage.

Note: Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future system
programming.

Note: We recommend that upon the sale or
lease termination of your vehicle, you erase
the programmed function buttons for security
reasons. See Erasing the Function Button
Codes.

Note: You can program a maximum of three
devices. To change or replace any of the
three devices after it has been initially
programmed, you must first erase the current
settings. See Erasing the Function Button
Codes.

E142657

The universal garage door opener replaces
the common hand-held garage door opener
with a three-button transmitter that is
integrated into the driver’s sun visor.

The system includes two primary features, a
garage door opener and a platform for
remote activation of devices within the home.
As well as being programmed for garage
doors, the system transmitter can be
programmed to operate entry gate operators,
security systems, entry door locks and home
or office lighting.

Additional system information can be found
online at www.homelink.com,
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or by
calling the toll-free help line on
1-800-355-3515.

In-Vehicle Programming

This process is to program your hand-held
transmitter and your in-vehicle HomeLink
button.

Note: The programming steps below assume
you will be programming HomeLink that was
not previously programmed.

Note: Put a new battery in the hand-held
transmitter. This will ensure quicker training
and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.

Gate Operator / Canadian Programming

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.

Note: If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to
prevent possible overheating.

1. Press and hold the HomeLink button

while you press and release, every two
seconds, your hand-held transmitter until
the HomeLink indicator light changes
from a slow to a rapidly blinking light.

2. Release both the HomeLink and

hand-held transmitter buttons.

3. Continue programing HomeLink. See

In-Vehicle Programming.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING: Extended idling at high

engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage.

WARNING: Do not park, idle or drive

your vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats
up the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire.

WARNING: Do not start the engine

in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
engine.

WARNING: Exhaust leaks may result

in entry of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment. If
you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 mi (8 km)
after you reconnect it.  This is because the
engine management system must realign
itself with the engine.  You can disregard any
unusual driving characteristics during this
period.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the engine.

KEYLESS STARTING

Note: The keyless starting system may not
function if the key is close to metal objects
or electronic devices such as cellular
phones.

Note: A valid key must be located inside
your vehicle to switch the ignition on and
start the vehicle.

•

Press the brake pedal, and then press
the button until the vehicle starts. An
indicator light on the button
illuminates when the ignition is on
and when the vehicle starts.

STARTING A GASOLINE ENGINE

When you start the engine, the idle speed
increases, this helps to warm up the engine.
If the engine idle speed does not slow down
automatically, have your vehicle checked by
an authorized dealer.

Before starting the engine, check the
following:
•

Make sure all occupants have fastened
their safety belts.

•

Make sure the headlamps and electrical
accessories are off.

•

Make sure the parking brake is on.

•

Put the transmission in P.

Note: Do not touch the accelerator pedal.

1. Fully press the brake pedal.

2. Press the button.

The system does not function if:
•

The key frequencies are jammed.

•

Starting and Stopping the Engine

Within 20 seconds of switching the engine
off, press the brake pedal and press the
button. After 20 seconds have expired, you
can no longer restart the engine without the
key present inside your vehicle.

Once the engine has started, it remains
running until you press the button, even if
the system does not detect a valid key. If you
open and close a door while the engine is
running, the system searches for a valid key.
You cannot restart the engine if the system
does not detect a valid key within 20
seconds.

Failure to Start

If you cannot start the engine after three
attempts, wait 10 seconds and follow this
procedure:

1. Fully press the brake pedal.

2. Fully press the accelerator pedal and

hold it there.

3. Start the engine.

Note:  You can crank the engine for a total
of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables.  The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once.  For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each time,
without the engine starting, you reached the
60-second time limit.  A message appears
in the information display alerting you that
you exceeded the cranking time.  You
cannot attempt to start the engine for at
least 15 minutes.

Note:  After 15 minutes, you are limited to a
15-second engine cranking time.  You need
to wait 60 minutes before you can crank the
engine for 60 seconds again.

Automatic Engine Shutdown

If your vehicle is equipped with a keyless
ignition, it has a feature that automatically
shuts down the engine if it has been idling
for an extended period. The ignition also
turns off in order to save battery power.
Before the engine shuts down, a message
appears in the information display showing
a timer counting down from 30 seconds. If

you do not intervene within 30 seconds, the
engine shuts down. Another message
appears in the information display to inform
you that the engine has shut down in order
to save fuel. Start your vehicle as you
normally do.

Automatic Engine Shutdown Override

Note: You cannot permanently switch off the
automatic engine shutdown feature. When
you switch it off temporarily, it turns on at
the next ignition cycle.

You can stop the engine shutdown, or reset
the timer, at any point before the 30-second
countdown has expired by doing any of the
following:

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

 (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING: Failure to follow engine

block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal
injury.

WARNING: Do not use your heater

with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.

WARNING: Do not fully close the

hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power cable
and may cause an electrical short resulting
in fire, injury and property damage.

Note: The heater is most effective when
outdoor temperatures are below 0°F (-18°C).

The heater acts as a starting aid by warming
the engine coolant. This allows the climate
control system to respond quickly. The
equipment includes a heater element
(installed in the engine block) and a wire
harness. You can connect the system to a
grounded 120-volt AC electrical source.

We recommend that you do the following for
a safe and correct operation:
•

Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by Underwriter’s
Laboratory (UL) or Canadian Standards
Association (CSA). This extension cord
must be suitable for use outdoors, in cold
temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.

•

Use as short an extension cord as
possible.

•

Do not use multiple extension cords.

•

Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord plug
connections are free and clear of water.
This could cause an electric shock or fire.

•

Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles.

•

Make sure the heater, heater cord and
extension cord are firmly connected.

•

Check for heat anywhere in the electrical
hookup once the system has been
operating for approximately 30 minutes.

•

Make sure the system is unplugged and
properly stowed before starting and
driving your vehicle. Make sure the
protective cover seals the prongs of the
block heater cord plug when not in use.

•

Make sure the heater system is checked
for proper operation before winter.

Using the Engine Block Heater

Make sure the receptacle terminals are clean
and dry prior to use. Clean them with a dry
cloth if necessary.
