ExceptLXmodels The security system helps to protect your vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn sounds and a combination of headlights, parking lights, side marker lights and taillights flashes if someone attempts to break into your vehicle or remove the audio unit. This alarm continues for two minutes, then the system resets. To reset an alarming system before the two minutes have elapsed, unlock the driver’s door with the key or the remote transmitter. The security system automatically sets 15 seconds after you lock the doors, the hood, the tailgate, and the glass hatch. For the system to activate, you must lock the doors, the tailgate and the glass hatch from the outside with the key, driver’s lock tab, door lock master switch, or remote transmitter. The security system indicator on the instrument panel starts blinking immediately to show you the system is setting itself.
SECURITY SYSTEM INDICATOR
Once the security system is set, opening any door, the tailgate, the glass hatch, or the hood without using the key or the remote transmitter will cause the alarm to sound. It will also sound if the radio is removed from the dashboard or the wiring is cut.
Security System
The security system will not set if the hood, the tailgate, the glass hatch, or any door is not fully closed. If the system will not set, check that the doors, the tailgate and the hood are fully closed.

ExceptLXmodels The HomeLink Universal Transceiver built into your vehicle can be programmed to operate up to three remote controlled devices around your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or home security systems.
HomeLink Universal Transceiver
General Safety Information Before programming your HomeLink to operate a garage door opener, confirm that the opener has an external entrapment protection system, such as an ‘‘electronic eye,’’ or other safety and reverse stop features.
If your garage door was manufactured before April 1, 1982, you may not be able to program HomeLink to operate it. These units do not have safety features that cause the motor to stop and reverse it if an obstacle is detected during closing, increasing the risk of injury. Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features.
Units manufactured between April 1,
1982 and January 1, 1993 may be
equipped with safety stop and
reverse features. If your unit does
not have an external entrapment
protection system, an easy test to
confirm the function and
performance of the safety stop and
reverse feature is to lay a 2
under the closing door. The door
should stop and reverse upon
contacting the piece of wood.
As an additional safety feature,
garage door openers manufactured
after January 1, 1993 are required to
have external entrapment protection
systems, such as an electronic eye,
which detect an object obstructing
the door.

Important Safety Precautions Refer to the safety information that came with your garage door opener to test that the safety features are functioning properly. If you do not have this information, contact the manufacturer of the equipment. Before programming HomeLink to a garage door or gate opener, make sure that people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent potential injury or damage. When programming a garage door opener, park just outside the garage.

1.
Press and hold the HomeLink button to be trained until the HomeLink indicator begins to flash slowly.
If a rolling code transmitter was
previously programmed, the
indicator will flash rapidly for 2

Your vehicle is equipped with the
Bluetooth HandsFreeLink (HFL).
HFL uses Bluetooth technology to
link your cellphone to your vehicle.
With HFL, you can place and receive
calls through your vehicle’s audio
system, without the distraction of
handling your cellphone. To use this
feature, you need a Bluetooth-
compatible cellphone with the Hands
Free Profile. For more information,
and a list of compatible cellphones,

Bluetooth Wireless Technology Bluetooth is a registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc. Bluetooth is the wireless technology that links your phone to the HFL. The HFL uses a Class 2 Bluetooth, which means the maximum range between your phone and vehicle is 30 feet (10 meters).
To use the HFL, your phone must have approved Bluetooth capability along with the Hands Free Profile. This type of phone is available through many phone makers and cellular carriers. You can also find an approved phone by visiting
, or by calling

Incoming/Outgoing Calls With a linked phone, the HFL allows you to send and receive calls in your vehicle without holding the phone.
Phonebook The HFL can store up to 50 names and phone numbers in its phonebook. With a linked phone, you can then automatically dial any name or number in the phonebook.
2009 Pilot08/03/10 18:15:40 31SZA600 0366
Your vehicle’s HFL system has the cellular phonebook import function. This allows you to import your cellular phonebook to the HFL. Using the navigation system, you can make a call directly and store a desired number in the HFL from the list shown on the navigation display. For more information on how to import the phonebook or to make a call, see page

You can also store the desired number to the HFL directly from your mobile phone using the receive contact function in the HFL.
Microphone The HFL microphone is on the ceiling, between the front map lights and the console buttons. On models with navigation system, the microphone is shared with the navigation system.
Audio System When the HFL is in use, the sound comes through the vehicle’s front audio system speakers. If the audio system is in use while operating either of the HFL buttons or making a call, the HFL over-rides the audio system. To change the volume level, use the audio system volume knob, or the steering wheel volume controls.

When voice commands are used, the fan speed will be automatically adjusted to low. However, for better voice recognition, lowering the fan speed may be necessary.
Adjust the airflow from both the dashboard and side vents so they do not blow against the microphone on the ceiling.
After pressing the Talk button, wait for the beep, then give a voice command.
Give a voice command in a clear natural speaking voice without pausing between words or numbers. If the system cannot recognize your command because of the background noise, speak louder.
Bluetooth HandsFreeLink
If the microphone picks up voices other than yours, the system may not interpret your voice commands correctly.
If the HFL does not recognize a command, its response is, ‘‘Pardon.’’ If it doesn’t recognize the command a second time, its response is, ‘‘Please repeat.’’ If it doesn’t recognize the command a third time, it plays the Help prompt.
