HOME AUTOMATION SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

WARNING:

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.

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).

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

later in this section.

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
