To program the remaining two HomeLink威 buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 179 Gate Operator/Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig- nals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLink威 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. If you are having difficulties programming a garage door opener or a gate operator, replace “Programming HomeLink” Step 3 with the following: 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink威 button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until HomeLink威 180 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The EVIC display will change from “CHANNEL # TRAIN- ING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.” If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in at this time. Then proceed with Step 4 under “Programming HomeLink威” earlier in this section. Using HomeLink姞 To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink威 button. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.) The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. Reprogramming A Single HomeLink姞 Button To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained, follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink威 button for 20 seconds until the EVIC display states “CHANNEL # TRAINING.” Do not release the button. 3. Without releasing the button, proceed with Program- ming HomeLink威 Step 2 and follow all remaining steps. Security It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn in your vehicle. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20 seconds until the EVIC message states “CHANNELS CLEARED.” Note that all channels will be erased. Indi- vidual channels cannot be erased. The HomeLink威 Universal Transceiver is disabled when the Vehicle Security Alarm is active.

A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the key in the ignition. A child could operate power win- dows, other controls, or move the vehicle. (Continued) UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 183 WARNING! (Continued) • In an accident, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof. You could also be seriously injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured too. • Do not allow small children to operate the sun- roof. Never allow fingers or other body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result. Wind Buffeting Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur- rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, open the front and rear windows 184 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting or open any window. Sunroof Maintenance Use only a nonabrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the glass panel. ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS This vehicle has three 12-Volt auxiliary power outlets that can provide up to 20 Amps of current for accessories designed for use with the standard power outlet adapt- ers. The outlet located in the lower portion of the instrument panel has a snap on plastic cap so that it can be covered when not in use. As a safety precaution, the outlet in the instrument panel only operates with the ignition switch ON. When the optional Cigar Lighter heating element is used, it heats when pushed in and pops out automatically when ready for use. To preserve the heating element, do not hold the lighter in the heating position. There are two additional 12-Volt (20 total Amps for both outlets) power outlets, one located in the storage bin of the center console and another located in the right rear cargo area. These outlets can be configured by the customer to operate only when the ignition is ON (switched battery fed) or with the ignition ON or OFF (battery fed) to allow for cellular telephone charging and operation while the ignition is OFF. NOTE: All accessories connected to these outlets should be removed or turned off when the vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against discharge (unless the cus- tomer has configured the fuse block to switched battery feed). WARNING! To avoid serious injury or death: • Do not use a three-prong adapter. • Do not insert any objects into the receptacles. • Do not touch with wet hands. • Close the lid when not in use and while driving • If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an the vehicle. electric shock and failure. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 185 CAUTION! • Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting. • Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will discharge the battery even more quickly. Only use these inter- mittently and with greater caution. • After the use of high power draw accessories or long periods of the vehicle not being started (with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow the generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery. 186 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE Configuring Power Outlets To configure the outlets, be sure the ignition is OFF before removing the fuse. The “reconfigurable” fuse location is a special design that allows the fuse to be installed in two different ways. If the fuse is located in the ⬙Upper or Top Position⬙ the outlets will work at all times. If the fuse is located in the ⬙Lower or Bottom Position⬙ the power outlets will only work when the ignition is ON. NOTE: The fuse block is located in the left side kick panel behind a removable cover near the park brake pedal. A fuse puller is attached to the inside surface of the fuse panel cover to aid in removing fuses, if necessary. Top Fuse Block 1 — 20 Amp Reconfigurable Fuse 2 — Battery = Top Location 3 — Ign = Bottom Location 4 — Yellow Airbag Fuses 115-Volt Inverter Outlet — If Equipped This vehicle may also be equipped with a 115-Volt (150 Watts Maximum) outlet on the rear of the front center console. UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 187 Certain high-end video games, such as Playstation3 and XBox360 will exceed this power limit, as will most power tools. Due to built-in overload protection, the power outlet will shut down if the power rating is exceeded. Each device to be powered should be checked first to make sure it does not exceed the outlet’s 150 Watts maximum rating. 115-Volt Inverter Outlet This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring power up to 150 Watts. 115-Volt Inverter Switch 188 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE To turn on the power outlet, press the switch once.
