HomeLink Universa l Transmitte r
On EX model
The HomeLink Universal
Transmitter built into your vehicle
can be programmed to operate
remotely controlled devices around
your home, such as garage doors, lighting, or home security systems.
It can replace up to three remote
transmitters.
Custome r Assistanc e
If you have problems with training
the HomeLink Universal Transmitter,
or would like information on home
products that can be operated by the
transmitter, call (800) 355-3515. On
the internet, go to
www.homelink.jci.com.
Importan t Safet y Precaution s
Always refer to the operating
instructions and safety information
that came with your garage door
opener or other equipment you
intend to operate with the HomeLink Universal Transmitter.
If you do not have this information,
you should contact the
manufacturer of the equipment.
While training or using the transmitter, make sure you have a
clear view of the garage door or
gate, and that no one will be injured
by its movement.
Genera l Informatio n
If you are training the transmitter to
operate a garage door or gate, it is
recommended that you unplug the
motor for that device during
training. 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 vehicle's
battery goes dead or is
disconnected.
If your garage door opener was manufactured before April 1982,
you may not be able to program the
HomeLink Universal Transmitter tooperate it. Garage door openers
manufactured before that date do
not have a safety feature that
causes them to stop and reverse ifan obstacle is detected during
closing, increasing the risk of injury. If you have questions, call(800) 355-3515.
Trainin g th e Transmitte r
Before you can use the HomeLink
Universal Transmitter to operate devices around your home, it must
"learn" the proper codes. For
example, to train the transmitter to
open and close the garage door:

Heating an d Coolin g
How to Us e th e Syste m
This section covers how to set up the
system controls for ventilation,
heating, cooling, dehumidifying, and
defrosting.
The engine must be running for the heater and air conditioning to
generate hot and cold air. The heater
uses engine coolant to warm the air.If the engine is cold, it will be several
minutes before you feel warm air
coming from the system.
The air conditioning does not rely on engine temperature.
It is best to leave the system in Fresh
Air mode under almost all conditions. Keeping the system in Recirculation
mode, particularly with the A/C off,
can cause the windows to fog up.
Switch to Recirculation mode when
you are driving through smoky or dusty conditions, then switch back to
Fresh Air mode when the conditionFA N CONTRO LDIALMOD E BUTTON STEMPERATUR ECONTROL DIA L

clears.
The outside air intakes for the
heating and cooling system are atthe base of the windshield. Keep
these clear of leaves and other
debris.
Ventilation
The flow-through ventilation system draws in outside air, circulates it
through the interior, then exhausts it
through vents near the rear side
panels.
1. Turn the temperature control dial all the way to the left.
Make sure the A/C is off.
2. Select and Fresh Air mode.
3. Set the fan to the desired speed.
