Programming the HomeLink
Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the ªstop and reverseº
safety feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.
Your vehicle's engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter
channel, proceed to Step 2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the HomeLink
Transmitter until the indicator light begins to flash
rapidly (after 20 seconds). Then release the buttons.
This procedure initializes the memory and erases any
previous settings for all three channels.2. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Hold the end of the hand
-held transmitter
about 2 to 5 inches (5 to 13 cm) away from the
surface of the HomeLink Transmitter so that you can
still see the indicator light.
3. Using both hands, press the hand
-held transmitter
button and the desired button on the HomeLink
Transmitter. Continue to press both buttons
through Step 4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the indicator light
on the HomeLink Transmitter flash slowly and then
rapidly. The rapid flashing indicates that the HomeLink
Transmitter has been programmed. Release both
buttons once the indicator light starts to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the HomeLink
Transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described. The HomeLink
Transmitter may not work with older garage door openers
that do not meet current Federal Consumer Safety
Standards. If you cannot program the transmitter after
repeated attempts, refer to ªRolling Code Programmingº
later in this section or contact the HomeLink Transmitter
manufacturer at 1
-800-355-3515.
Be sure to keep the original hand
-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
HomeLink Transmitter.

2-64
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming,
the hand
-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after one or two seconds. In this case, you
should press and re
-press the button on the hand-held
transmitter every two seconds without ever releasing the
button on the HomeLink Transmitter. Release both
buttons when the indicator light on the HomeLink
Transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the HomeLink
Transmitter
Press and release the appropriate button on the
HomeLink Transmitter. The indicator light comes on
while the signal is being transmitted.
If the hand
-held transmitter appears to program the
HomeLink Transmitter but does not open your garage door,
and if the garage door opener was manufactured after 1996,
the garage door opener may have a ªrolling codeº system.
A rolling code system changes the code of the garage door
opener every time you open or close the garage door.
To determine if you have this system, press the button on
the HomeLink Transmitter that you have programmed
already. If the indicator light on the HomeLink
Transmitter flashes rapidly for two seconds and then
turns solid, the garage door opener has a rolling code
system. In a rolling code system, the garage door motor
head unit must be trained to the HomeLink Transmitter.
ªRolling Codeº Programming
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the HomeLink Transmitter, see ªProgramming
the HomeLink

Transmitterº listed previously. If you have
completed this programming already, you now need to train
the garage door opener motor head unit to recognize the
HomeLink Transmitter. Refer to your garage door opener
owner's manual for the proper transmitter training procedure
for your garage door opener brand.
1. Find the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit. The exact location and color of the
button may vary by garage door opener brand. If you
have difficulty finding the training button, refer to
your garage door opener owner's manual.
2. Press the training button on the garage door opener
motor head unit.
Following this step, you have 30 seconds to
start Step 3.
3. Return to the HomeLink Transmitter in your vehicle
and firmly press and release the HomeLink
Transmitter button you have already programmed for
two to three seconds. Press and release the button
again (you may need to do this step up to three times)
to make sure that the HomeLink Transmitter has been
trained to the garage door opener motor head unit.
Check that the training was successful.

2-65
The garage door opener should now recognize the
HomeLink Transmitter. You may either use the
HomeLink Transmitter or the hand
-held transmitter to
open the garage door.
If after following these instructions, you still have
problems training the garage door opener,
contact the HomeLink

Transmitter manufacturer
at 1
-800-355-3515.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash (after 20 seconds). Release both buttons.
Accessories
Accessories for the HomeLink
Transmitter are
available from the manufacturer of the unit.

2-84 Care of the HUD
Clean the inside of the windshield as necessary to
remove any dirt or film that reduces the sharpness or
clarity of the HUD image.
To clean the HUD lens, spray household glass cleaner
on a soft, clean cloth. Gently wipe and dry the HUD
lens. Do not spray cleaner directly on the lens to avoid
cleaner leaking inside the unit.

UNKNOWN DRIVER if they are neither DRIVER #1
nor DRIVER #2. You will let the DIC know which
driver you are by using your remote keyless entry
transmitter or by pressing one of the MEMORY buttons
located on the driver's door. Each remote keyless entry
transmitter was pre
-programmed to belong to
DRIVER #1 or DRIVER #2. Each transmitter may
be programmed differently for each driver.
After you press the button with the unlock symbol on
your transmitter and the ignition is in RUN, the DIC will
automatically display the identified driver number. The
vehicle will recall the personal choice settings that were
last made to correspond to your transmitter, including
your radio and comfort control settings. See ªComfort
Controls, Personal Choiceº in the Index.If you unlock the vehicle using your door key instead of
your transmitter, the DIC will not change drivers and
will recall the information from the last transmitter used
or the last driver using one of the MEMORY buttons.
If this happens and you were not the last driver of the
vehicle, simply press your correct driver number on the
appropriate MEMORY button or press the button with
the unlock symbol on your transmitter.
The DIC can be used to program the following personal
choice features available with your vehicle:

Memory Seats

Automatic Door Locks

Security Feedback

Delayed Locking
