HomeLink Universal Transmitter

Training the Transmitter Before you can use the HomeLink
Universal Transmitter to operatedevices around your home, it must
"learn" the proper codes. For
example, to train the transmitter to open and close the garage door:
Before you begin — If you just took

delivery of your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in the
HomeLink transmitter before, you should erase any previously learned
codes before training the first button.
To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons on the HomeLink
transmitter for about 20 seconds
until the red light flashes. Release the buttons, then proceed to Step 1.
If you are training the second or
third buttons, go directly to Step 1.
1. Unplug the garage door opener motor from the house current.
2. Hold the end of the garage door opener remote control 2 to 5
inches from the HomeLink
transmitter. Make sure you are
not blocking your view of the red
light in the transmitter. 3. Select the transmitter button you
want to train.
4. Press the button on the remote control and the button on the
transmitter at the same time. Hold down both buttons.

Security System
On EX and EX-V6 models

The security system helps to protect your car and valuables from theft.
The horn sounds and a combination of headlights, parking lights, side
marker lights and taillights flashes if
someone attempts to break into your
car or remove the radio. This alarm
continues for two minutes, then the system resets. To reset an alarming
system before the two minutes have
elapsed, unlock either front door
with the key or the remote transmitter.
The security system sets auto- matically fifteen seconds after you
lock the doors, hood, and trunk. For
the system to activate, you must lock
the doors from the outside with the
key, lock tab, door lock switch, or
remote transmitter. The security system light next to the driver's door
lock starts blinking immediately to show you the system is setting itself. SECURITY SYSTEM LIGHT
Once the security system is set, opening any door (without using the
key or the remote transmitter), or
the hood, will cause it to alarm. It also alarms if the radio is removed
from the dashboard or the wiring is cut. With the system set, you can still
open the trunk with the master key
or the remote transmitter without
triggering the alarm. The alarm will sound if the trunk lock is forced, or
the trunk is opened with the trunk

release handle.

The security system will not set if the hood, trunk, or any door is not
fully closed. If the system will not set,check the Door and Brake Lamp
Monitor on the instrument panel (see page 56), to see if the doors
and trunk are fully closed. Since it is
not part of the monitor display,
manually check the hood.
Do not attempt to alter this system
or add other devices to it.
