HOMELINKTUNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (IF EQUIPPED)
The HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver, located on the driver's visor,
provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters
with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gates,
security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.
When programming your HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver, to a
garage door or gate be sure that people and objects are out of
the way to prevent potential harm or damage.
Do not use the HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards. For more information on this matter, call
toll-free: 1±800±355±3515 or on the Internet atHomeLink.jci.com.

Programming
1. Prepare for programming the
HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver by
erasing the three factory default
codes by holding down the two
outside buttons until the red light
begins to flash after 20 seconds.
Release both buttons.
2. Hold the end of your hand-held
transmitter 5±14 cm (2±5 inches)
away from the HomeLinktUniversal
Transceiver surface (located on your visor) while keeping the red light in
view.
3. Using both hands simultaneously
press and hold the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired
HomeLinktbutton. Do not release
the buttons until step 4 has been
completed.
4. The red light will flash slowly and
then rapidly. Release both buttons
when the red light flashes rapidly.
5. Follow steps 2 through 4 to program the remaining two buttons.
If you do not successfully program the HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver
after repeated attempts, refer toRolling code programingwhich
follows, or call toll-free customer assistance: 1±800±355±3515 or on the
Internet atHomeLink.jci.com.
Canadian Programming
During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after two seconds which may not be long enough to
program the HomeLinktUniversal Transceiver.
Controls and features

To program your hand-held
transmitters:
²continue to hold the button on
the HomeLinktUniversal
Transceiver.
²press and re-press the hand-held
transmitter button every two
seconds until the red light changes from a slow to a fast flash.
Operating the HomeLinkTUniversal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLinkt
Universal Transceiver can be used in
place of hand-held transmitters. To
operate, simply press and release
the appropriate HomeLinktbutton
(the red light will illuminate,
indicating the signal is being
transmitted).
Rolling code programming
Rolling code garage door openers (or other rolling code devices) which
are ªcode protectedº and manufactured after 1996, may be determined
by the following:
²Reference the device owner's manual for verification
²The hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLinkt
Universal Transceiver but does not activate the device.
²Press and hold the trained HomeLinktbutton. The device has the
rolling code feature if the indicator light flashes rapidly and then turns
solid after 2 seconds.
After completing the ªProgrammingº functions, follow these steps to
train a garage door opener with the rolling code feature:
1. Locate thetraining buttonon the garage door motor head unit.
Refer to the garage door opener manual or call 1±800±355±3515 or on
the Internet atHomeLink.jci.com.if there is difficulty locating the
training button.
2. Press the training button on the garage door motor head unit (which
will activate theªtrainingº light.)

3. Press and release the
programmed HomeLinktbutton.
Press and release the HomeLinkt
button asecond timeto complete
the training process. (Some garage
door openers may require this
procedure to be done a third time
to complete the training).
The 2nd or 3rd press from step 3 will activate the door. The HomeLinkt
Universal Transceiver has now been trained to the receiver. The
remaining two buttons may now be programmed if this has not
previously been done.
Erasing HomeLinkTbuttons
Individual buttons cannot be erased,
however, to erase the three
programmed buttons:
1. Hold down the two outside
buttons until the red light begins to
flash after 20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
Reprogramming a single HomeLinkTbutton
To program a device to HomeLinktusing a HomeLinktbutton previously
trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLinktbutton.Do NOTrelease until
step 4has been completed.
2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after 20 seconds),
position the hand-held transmitter 5±14 cm (2 to 5 inches) away from
the HomeLinktsurface.
3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button.
4. The HomeLinktindicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly.
When the indicator light begins to flash rapidly, release both buttons.
The previous device has now been erased and the new device can be
activated by pushing the HomeLinktbutton that has just been
programmed.

AUTOMATIC DIMMING INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR (IF EQUIPPED)
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside rear view mirror which has an
auto-dimming function. The electronic day/night mirror will change from
the normal state to the non-glare state when bright lights (glare) reach
the mirror. When the mirror detects bright light from front or behind, it
will automatically adjust (darken) to minimize glare.
Do not block the sensor on the backside of the mirror since this may
impair proper mirror performance.
Press the control to turn the mirror
on or off.
The mirror will automatically return
to the normal state whenever the
vehicle is placed in R
(Reverse)(when the mirror is on) to
ensure a bright clear view when
backing up.
ELECTRONIC COMPASS (IF EQUIPPED)
The compass reading will remain accurate during most driving
conditions. Unknown to the driver, the compass is continuously
recalibrating due to magnetic fields and subtle, slow changes in vehicle
magnetics which can occur over the life of the vehicle.
The compass reading will remain fixed when significant levels are
experienced (such as steel bridges). The compass will return to normal
operation upon leaving the magnetized area.
If highly magnetized items (such as magnetic mount antennas) are
placed very near the compass the display will change to ªCº for 15
seconds, then display all segments until the magnetized item is removed.
Most geographic areas (zones) have a magnetic north compass point that
varies slightly from the northerly direction on maps. This variation is four
degrees between adjacent zones and will become noticeable as the
vehicle crosses multiple zones. A correct zone setting will eliminate this
error. Refer toCompass zone adjustment.
