Canadian Owners:
The remote control you are training from may stop transmitting after twoseconds. This is not long enough for
the HomeLink transmitter to learn
the code. Release and press the
button on the remote control every
two seconds until the transmitter has
learned the code.
If you are programming the
transmitter to operate a garage door or gate, it is recommended that you
unplug the motor for that device during programming. Repeatedly
pressing the remote control button
could burn out the motor. The HomeLink transmitter stores
the code in a permanent memory.
There should be no need to retrain the transmitter if your car's battery
goes dead or is disconnected.
Retraining a Button
To train an already programmed transmitter button to operate a new
device:

1. Select the transmitter button you want to train.
2. Press and hold the transmitter button until the red light begins to
flash slowly (approximately 20
seconds).
3. While continuing to hold the
transmitter button, place the
remote control for the device 1 to
3 inches from the HomeLink
transmitter.
4. Press and hold the button on the remote control. Hold both buttons
until the red light begins to flash
rapidly.
5. Release both buttons. The transmitter should now be trained
to operate the device.

The HI or LO indicator lights and remains lit until you turn it off by
pushing the opposite side of the switch lightly. The indicator will turn

off.
In HI, the heater turns off when the
seat gets warm, and turns back on
after the seat's temperature drops. It
continues to cycle as long as you
leave it set on HI. The HI indicator
remains lit as a reminder that you
have the heater on.
In LO, the heater runs continuously.
It does not cycle with temperature
changes.
Because of the sensors for the side
airbag system, there is no heater in
the passenger's seat-back. Follow these precautions whenever
you use the seat heaters:
Use the HI setting only to heat the
seats quickly. Select the LO
setting when the seats feel warm.
The HI setting draws large amounts of current from the
battery.
Do not use the seat heaters, even
on the LO setting, if the engine is
left idling for an extended period.
They can weaken the battery, causing hard starting. Sk
