Rolling Code)

To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained,
follow these steps:

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

2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink button until the

indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not
release the button.

3. Without releasing the button, proceed with “Program-

ming A Non-Rolling Code” step 2 and follow all remain-
ing steps.

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.

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 press and hold the HomeLink button, while

you press 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. Press 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 pressed.

• 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.

Reprogramming A Single HomeLink Button (Canadian/
Gate Operator)

To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained,
follow these steps:

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

2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink button until the

indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not
release the button.

3. Without releasing the button, proceed with “Canadian/

Gate Operator Programming” step 2 and follow all
remaining steps.

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

Power Outlets

Your vehicle is equipped with 12 Volt (13 Amp) power
outlets that can be used to power cellular phones, small
electronics and other low powered electrical accessories.
The power outlets are labeled with either a “key” or a
“battery” symbol to indicate how the outlet is powered.
Power outlets labeled with a “key” are powered when the
ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position, while the
outlets labeled with a “battery” are connected directly to
the battery and powered at all times.

NOTE:
• All accessories connected to the “battery” powered

outlets should be removed or turned off when the
vehicle is not in use to protect the battery against
discharge.

CAUTION!

Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only.
Do not insert any other object in the power outlets as
this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse. Im-
proper use of the power outlet can cause damage not
covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

The front power outlet is located inside the storage area in
front of the shifter.

WARNING!

To avoid serious injury or death:
• Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet

should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.

• Do not touch with wet hands.

• Close the lid when not in use and while driving the

vehicle.

• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric

shock and failure.

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 suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.

• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,

vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the battery
even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.

(Continued)

CAUTION! (Continued)

• After the use of high power draw accessories, or long

periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces-
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the generator to
recharge the vehicle’s battery.

Power Inverter — If Equipped

There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt inverter outlet located on the
back of the center console to convert DC current to AC

current. This outlet can power cellular phones, electronics
and other low power devices requiring power up to 150
Watts. Certain high-end game consoles exceed this power
limit, as will most power tools.

To turn on the power inverter outlet, simply plug in the
device. The outlet automatically turns off when the device
is unplugged.

The power inverter is designed with built-in overload
protection. If the power rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the
power inverter automatically shuts down. Once the elec-
trical device has been removed from the outlet the inverter
should automatically reset. To avoid overloading the cir-
cuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to
using the inverter.

WARNING!

To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.

• Do not touch with wet hands.

• Close the lid when not in use.

• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric

shock and failure.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED

The load carried on the roof, when equipped with a
luggage rack, must not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg), and it should
be uniformly distributed over the cargo area.

Crossbars should always be used whenever cargo is placed
on the roof rack. Check the straps frequently to be sure that
the load remains securely attached.

NOTE:

Crossbars can be purchased at your authorized

dealer through Mopar parts.

External racks do not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the total occupant and
luggage load inside the vehicle, plus the load on the
luggage rack, do not exceed the maximum vehicle load
capacity.

128

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

Cargo must be securely tied down before driving your
vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the ve-
hicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal
injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack cau-
tions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

CAUTION!

• To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not

exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity. Always
distribute heavy loads as evenly as possible and
secure the load appropriately.

• Long loads, which extend over the windshield, such

as wood panels or surfboards, should be secured to
both the front and rear of the vehicle.

• Place a blanket or other protection between the

surface of the roof and the load.

(Continued)

CAUTION! (Continued)

• Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully

when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack.
Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck
traffic, can add sudden upward loads. This is espe-
cially true on large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

• Load should always be secured to cross bars first,

with tie down loops used as additional securing
points if needed. Tie loops are intended as supple-
mentary tie down points only. Do not use ratcheting
mechanisms with the tie loops. Check the straps
frequently to be sure that the load remains securely
attached.
