Retractable Cargo Area Cover (If Equipped) — Five
Passenger Models

NOTE:

The purpose of this cover is for privacy, not to

secure loads. It will not prevent cargo from shifting or
protect passengers from loose cargo.

The removable retractable cargo area cover mounts in the
cargo area behind the top of the rear seats.

The cover, when extended, covers the cargo area to keep
items out of sight. Notches in the trim panels near the
liftgate opening secure the extended cover in place.

The cover rolls away neatly inside its housing when not in
use. You can also remove the cover from the vehicle to
make more room in the cargo area.

To Install The Cover:

1. Position the cover in the vehicle so that the flat side of

the housing faces upward.

2. Insert either the left or the right spring-loaded post

(located on the ends of the cover housing) into the left
attachment point or the right attachment point (shown).

3. Insert the spring-loaded post on the opposite end of the

cover housing into the attachment point on the opposite
side of the vehicle.

4. Grab the cover handle and pull it toward you. As the

cover nears the liftgate opening, guide the rear attach-
ment posts (on both ends of the cover) into the notches
in the trim panels. Lower the cover to position the posts
into the bottom of the notches and release the handle.

WARNING!

In a collision, a loose cargo cover in the vehicle could
cause injury. It could fly around in a sudden stop and
strike someone in the vehicle. Do not store the cargo
cover on the cargo floor or in the passenger compart-
ment. Remove the cover from the vehicle when taken
from its mounting. Do not store it in the vehicle.

Cargo Tie-Downs

WARNING!

Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a child seat
tether strap. In a sudden stop or collision, a tie-down
could pull loose and allow the child seat to come loose.
A child could be badly injured. Use only the anchors
provided for child seat tethers.

Cargo tie-downs are located on both rear trim panels.
These tie-downs should be used to secure loads safely
when the vehicle is moving.

Positioning Retractable Cargo Area Cover

112

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

The weight and position of cargo and passengers can
change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle han-
dling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal
injury, follow these guidelines for loading your ve-
hicle:
• Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits de-

scribed on the label attached to the left door or left
door center pillar.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put

heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible.

• Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear

axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight
over or behind the rear axle can cause the vehicle to
sway.

• Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of

the seatback. This could impair visibility or become
a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or collision.

• To help protect against personal injury, passengers

should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear
cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes
only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and
use seat belts.

The HomeLink buttons, located on either the overhead
console, headliner or sunvisor, designate the three different
HomeLink channels. The HomeLink indicator is located
above the center button.

NOTE:

HomeLink is disabled when the Vehicle Security

Alarm is active.

Before You Begin Programming HomeLink

Be sure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage
before you begin programming.

For more efficient programming and accurate transmission
of the radio-frequency signal it is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device
that is being programmed to the HomeLink system.

Programming A Rolling Code

For programming garage door openers that were manufac-
tured after 1995:

These garage door openers can be identified by the
“LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the hanging
antenna is attached to the garage door opener. It is NOT the
button that is normally used to open and close the door.
The name and color of the button may vary by manufac-
turer.

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,

place the ignition in the RUN position with the engine ON.
Make sure while programming HomeLink with the engine
ON that your vehicle is outside of your garage, or that the
garage door remains open at all times.

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)

away from the HomeLink button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

3. Push and hold the HomeLink button you want to

program while you push and hold the hand-held trans-
mitter button.

4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator

light. The HomeLink indicator will flash slowly and
then rapidly after HomeLink has received the frequency
signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both
buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to
rapid.

5. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate

the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. This can usually
be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to
the garage door opener/device motor. Firmly push and
release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. On some
garage door openers/devices there may be a light that
blinks when the garage door opener/device is in the
LEARN/TRAIN mode.

NOTE:

You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next

step after the LEARN button has been pushed.

6. Return to the vehicle and push the programmed

HomeLink button twice (holding the button for two
seconds each time). If the garage door opener/device
activates, programming is complete.

NOTE:

If the garage door opener/device does not activate,

push the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete
the training.

To program the remaining two HomeLink buttons, repeat
each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the
channels.

Programming A Non-Rolling Code

For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured
before 1995:

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)

away from the HomeLink button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT
erase the channels.

Canadian/Gate Operator Programming

For programming transmitters in Canada/United States
that require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after
several seconds of transmission:

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.

It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage door
or gate motor.

1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go,

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)

away from the HomeLink button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

3. Continue to push and hold the HomeLink button while

you push and release (“cycle”) your hand-held trans-
mitter every two seconds until HomeLink has success-
fully accepted the frequency signal. The indicator light
will flash slowly and then rapidly when fully trained.

4. Watch for the HomeLink indicator to change flash rates.

When it changes, it is programmed. It may take up to 30
seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage door may
open and close while you are programming.

5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink button and

observe the indicator light.

NOTE:

• If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming

is complete and the garage door/device should acti-
vate when the HomeLink button is pushed.

• To program the two remaining HomeLink buttons,

repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT
erase the channels.

If you unplugged the garage door opener/device for
programming, plug it back in at this time.

Using HomeLink

To operate, push and release the programmed HomeLink
button. Activation will now occur for the programmed
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.

Security

It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn in
your vehicle.

To do this, push and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the red indicator flashes.

NOTE:

All channels will be erased. Individual channels

cannot be erased.

The HomeLink Universal Transceiver is disabled when the
Vehicle Security Alarm is active.

Troubleshooting Tips

If you are having trouble programming HomeLink, here
are some of the most common solutions:
• Replace the battery in the Garage Door Opener hand-

held transmitter.

• Push the LEARN button on the Garage Door Opener to

complete the training for a Rolling Code.

• Did you unplug the device for programming and re-

member to plug it back in?
