Garage door opener — if equipped
HomeLink® replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices such as garage door openers, motor- ized gates, lighting or home security systems. The HomeLink® unit is powered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
The HomeLink® buttons, located on either the overhead console, headliner or sunvisor, designate the three differ- ent HomeLink® channels. The HomeLink® indicator is located above the center button.
NOTE: HomeLink® is disabled when the Vehicle Secu- rity 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 transmis- sion 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. Erase all channels before you begin programming. To erase the channels place the ignition in the ON/RUN position and press and hold the two outside HomeLink® buttons (I and III) for up 20 seconds or until the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
• Erasing all channels should only be performed when
programming HomeLink® for the first time. Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
• If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
For programming garage door openers that were manu- factured 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 manufacturer.
1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to pro- gram while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and the hand-held trans- mitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indi- cator light. The HomeLink® indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Re- lease 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.
Training The Garage Door Opener
1 — Door Opener 2 — Training Button
Firmly press and release the “LEARN” or “TRAIN- ING” 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 pressed. 6. Return to the vehicle and press 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 acti- vate, press 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.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button
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 Rolling Code” step 2 and follow all remaining steps.
Programming A Non-Rolling Code
For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995. 1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to pro- gram while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and the hand-held trans- mitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indi- cator light. HomeLink® indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Re- lease both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
5. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light. • If the indicator light stays on constantly, program-
ming is complete and the garage door/device should activate when the HomeLink® button is pressed.
• To program the remaining two HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button
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 remaining 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 sig- nals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of trans- mission – 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 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to pro- gram 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 transmitter every two seconds until HomeLink® has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indi- cator 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.
• If the indicator light stays on constantly, program- ming is complete and the garage door/device should activate 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
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, press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Activation will now occur for the programmed device (i.e., garage door opener, gate opera- tor, security system, entry door lock, home/office light- ing, 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, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20 seconds until the red indicator flashes. Note that 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 original hand-held trans-
mitter.
• Press the LEARN button on the Garage Door Opener to complete the training for a Rolling Code.
• Did you unplug the device for programming and remember to plug it back in?
