Changing the display:  
NOTE:  
• If the display indicates that the tem-  
perature of the Li-ion battery is near  
the red zone end of the normal range,  
reduce vehicle speed to decrease the  
temperature. If the indicator is over the  
normal range, the power provided to  
the traction motor is reduced when the  
power limitation indicator light is illu-  
minated. Therefore, the vehicle is not  
as responsive when the accelerator is  
depressed while the power limitation  
light is illuminated. For additional in-  
formation, refer to “Power limitation  
indicator light” in this section.

NOTE:  
• The driving range display will flash  
when the low battery charge indicator  
illuminates. Additionally, if you con-  
tinue to drive the vehicle in this state  
and the Li-ion battery is close to being  
completely discharged, “---” will be  
displayed. Charge the Li-ion battery as  
soon as possible. When the Li-ion bat-  
tery is charged, the original display will  
be restored.  
• After the vehicle is charged, the dis-  
played driving range is calculated  
based on the actual average energy  
consumption of the previous driving.  
The displayed driving range will vary  
every time the vehicle is fully charged.

The tire replacement indicator is not a  
substitute for regular tire checks, in-  
cluding tire pressure checks. For addi-  
tional information, refer to “Changing  
wheels and tires” in the “Maintenance

replacement indicator as a guide only  
and always perform regular tire  
checks. Failure to perform regular tire  
checks, including tire pressure checks  
could result in tire failure. Serious ve-  
hicle damage could occur and may lead  
to a collision, which could result in seri-  
ous personal injury or death.

curity system automatically shifts into  
the armed phase. The security light be-  
gins to flash once every approximately 3  
seconds. If, during this 30-second pre-  
arm time period, the door is unlocked, or  
the power switch is placed in the ACC or  
ON position, the system will not arm.  
The alarm is activated by:  
• Unlocking the door without using the In-  
telligent Key, the request switch or the

If “Alert Only” setting is selected, the  
message alert will still be shown in the  
vehicle information display but the horn  
will not sound.  
The Rear Door Alert system is initially dis-  
abled. The driver can enable the system  
using the vehicle information display. For  
additional information, refer to “Vehicle in-  
formation display warnings and indicators”  
in this section.  
WARNING

•
If the driver selects “Disable Alert”, no  
audible alert will be provided regard-  
less of rear door open/close status.  
There may be times when there is an  
object or passenger in the rear  
seat(s) but the audible alert does not  
sound. For example, this may occur if  
rear seat passengers enter or exit the  
vehicle during a trip.  
• If the alert is enabled when a driver exits  
the vehicle, a message will appear in the  
vehicle information display that states  
“Check Rear Seat for All Articles.”  
When the system is enabled:  
• The system is activated when a rear door  
is opened and closed within 10 minutes of  
the vehicle being driven. When the driver  
door is closed and the system is acti-  
vated, a visual message appears in the  
vehicle information display. For additional  
information, refer to “Rear Door Alert is  
activated” in this section.  
If “Horn & Alert” setting is selected:  
–– An audible horn sound will occur after  
a short time unless a rear door is  
opened and closed within a short time  
to deactivate the alert.  
–– If the doors are locked before the alert  
is deactivated by opening a rear door,  
the horn will sound.  
•
The system does not directly detect  
objects or passengers in the rear  
seat(s). Instead, it can detect when a  
rear door is opened and closed, indi-  
cating that there may be something  
in the rear seat(s).  
• If a rear door is opened and closed but  
the vehicle is not driven within approxi-  
mately 10 minutes, the system will not be  
activated. A rear door must be opened  
and closed and the car driven within 10  
minutes for the system to activate.  
–– If the rear hatch is opened before a rear  
door is opened, the horn will be delayed  
until after the hatch is closed.  
NOTE:  
There may be times when the horn  
sounds but there are no objects or pas-  
sengers in the rear seat(s).

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®  
WARNING  
If you have any questions or are having  
difficulty programming your HomeLink®  
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:  
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.

Your vehicle's EV system should be  
turned off while programming the  
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. For  
additional information, refer to  
“Push-button power switch” in the  
“Starting and driving” section of this  
manual.  
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:  
• Will operate most radio frequency de-  
vices such as garage doors, gates, home  
and office lighting, entry door locks and  
security systems.  
NOTE:  
Place the power switch in the ON or ACC  
position (without starting the EVsystem)  
when programming HomeLink®. It is also  
recommended that a new battery be  
placed in the hand-held transmitter of  
the device being programmed to  
HomeLink® for quicker programming  
and accurate transmission of the radio  
frequency.  
Do not use the HomeLink® Universal  
Transceiver with any garage door  
opener that lacks safety stop and re-  
verse features as required by federal  
safety standards. (These standards  
became effective for opener models  
manufactured after April 1, 1982). A  
garage door opener which cannot  
detect an object in the path of a clos-  
ing garage door and then automati-  
cally stop and reverse, does not meet  
current federal safety standards. Us-  
ing a garage door opener without  
these features increases the risk of  
serious injury or death.  
• Is powered by your vehicle's 12–volt bat-  
tery. No separate batteries are required. If  
the vehicle's 12–volt battery is discharged  
or is disconnected, HomeLink® will retain  
all programming.  
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-  
ceiver is programmed, retain the original  
transmitter for future programming pro-  
cedures (Example: new vehicle pur-  
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the  
programmed  
HomeLink®  
Universal  
Transceiver buttons should be erased for  
security purposes. For additional infor-  
mation,

During the programming procedure  
your garage door or security gate will  
open and close (if the transmitter is  
within range). Make sure that people  
or objects are clear of the garage  
door, gate, etc. that you are  
programming.

4. At the receiver located on the garage  
door opener motor in the garage, locate  
the “learn” or “smart” button (the name  
and color of the button may vary by  
manufacturer but it is usually located  
near where the hanging antenna wire is  
attached to the unit). If there is difficulty  
locating the button, reference the ga-  
rage door opener’s manual.  
2. Using both hands, simultaneously press  
and hold the desired HomeLink® button  
and the hand-held transmitter button.  
During training, your hand-held trans-  
mitter may automatically stop transmit-  
ting. Continue to press and hold the de-  
sired HomeLink® button while you press  
and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held  
transmitter every 2 seconds until the  
frequency signal has been learned. The  
HomeLink® indicator light will flash  
slowly and then rapidly after several  
seconds upon successful training. DO  
NOT release until the HomeLink® indica-  
tor light flashes slowly and then rapidly.  
When the indicator light flashes rapidly,  
both buttons may be released. The rapid  
flashing indicates successful training.  
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® FOR  
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE  
OPENERS  
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  
training. Similar to this Canadian law, some  
U.S. gate operators are designed to “tim-  
eout” in the same manner.  
5. Press and release the “learn” or “smart”  
button.  
NOTE:  
If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-  
culties training a gate operator or garage  
door opener by using the “Training” proce-  
dures, replace “Programming HomeLink®”  
step 2 with the following:  
Once the button is pressed, you have  
approximately 30 seconds to initiate  
the next step.  
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press  
and hold the trained HomeLink® button  
for 2 seconds and release. Repeat the  
“press/hold/release” sequence up to  
three times to complete the training  
process. HomeLink® should now acti-  
vate your rolling code equipped device.  
Proceed  
with  
“Programming  
NOTE:  
HomeLink®” step 3 to complete.  
If the device was unplugged during the  
programming procedure, remember to  
plug it back in when programming is  
completed.  
When programming  
a
garage door  
opener, etc., unplug the device during  
the “cycling” process to prevent possible  
damage to the garage door opener  
components.  
7. If you have any questions or are having  
difficulty programming your HomeLink®  
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site
