Receiving SiriusXM® Radio  
■
The SiriusXM® satellites are in orbit over the equator;  
therefore, objects south of the vehicle may cause  
satellite reception interruptions. Satellite signals are  
more likely to be blocked by tall buildings and  
mountains the farther north you travel from the  
equator.  
Switch to the SiriusXM® mode by using the SOURCE button on the steering wheel,  
or through the audio/information screen, and stay in this mode for about 30  
minutes until the service is activated. Make sure your vehicle is in an open area with  
good reception.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver*  
1HomeLink® Universal Transceiver*  
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be programmed to operate up to three  
remote controlled devices around your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or  
home security systems.  
HomeLink® is a registered trademark of Gentex  
Corporation.  
Before programming 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 it  
does not, HomeLink may not be able to operate it.  
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 the safety  
information, contact the manufacturer.  
Before programming HomeLink, make sure that people and objects are out of the  
way of the garage or gate to prevent potential injury or damage.  
When programming a garage door opener, park just outside the garage door’s  
path.  
Training HomeLink  
If you have not trained any of the buttons in  
Red Indicator  
HomeLink before, you should erase any  
previously learned codes. To do this:  
• Press and hold the two outside buttons for  
about 20 seconds, until the red indicator  
blinks. Release the buttons, and proceed to  
step 1.  
• If you are training the second or third  
button, go directly to step 1.
