tether attachment point on the
underside of the seat cushion.Lift the head restraint, then route
the tether strap over the seat-back
between the legs of the head
restraint.

The combination lap belt and
shoulder belt in the center position
of the third seat goes over your
shoulder, across your chest and over
your hips. The shoulder belt has an
emergency locking retractor that
works in combination with the lap
belt.
The seat belts in all positions except
the driver’s and the center position
of the third seat have an additional
locking mechanism that must be
activated to secure a child seat. (See
pages and f or instructions on
how to secure child seats with this
type of seat belt.)
If the shoulder part of the belt is
pulled all the way out, the locking
mechanism will activate. The belt
will retract, but it will not allow the

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.
If you have problems with training
the HomeLink Universal
Transmitter, or would like
inf ormation on home products that
can be operated by the transmitter,
call (800) 355-3515. On the Internet,
go to www.homelink.jci.com. Always ref er to the operating
instructions and saf ety inf ormation
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 inf ormation, you should
contact the manuf acturer of the
equipment.
If you are training the transmitter to
operate a garage door or gate, it is
recommended that you unplug the
motor f or that device during training.
Repeatedly pressing the remote
control button could burn out the
motor.If your garage door opener was
manuf actured bef ore April 1982, you
may not be able to program the
HomeLink Universal Transmitter to
operate it. Garage door openers
manufactured before that date do
not have a safety feature that causes
them to stop and reverse if an
obstacle is detected during closing,
increasing the risk of injury. If you
have questions, call (800) 355-3515.
The HomeLink Universal Transmit-
ter 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
replaceuptothreeremote
transmitters.
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.

Canadian Owners:
The remote control you are training
from may stop transmitting after two
seconds. This is not long enough f or
the HomeLink transmitter to learn
thecode.Releaseandpressthe
button on the remote control every
two seconds until the transmitter has
learned the code.The red light in the transmitter
should begin f lashing. It will f lash
slowly at first, then rapidly.
When the red light f lashes rapidly,
release both buttons. The
transmitter should have learned
the code f rom the remote control.
Plug in the garage door opener
motor, then test the transmitter
button by pushing it. It should
operate the garage door.
If the button does not work, repeat
this procedure to train it again. If it still does not work, you may have a
variable or rolling code garage
door opener. Test this by pressing
and holding the HomeLink
transmitter button you just trained.
If the red light blinks f or two
seconds,thenstayson,youhavea
rolling code garage door opener.
You may be able to verify this with
the manufacturer’s documentation.
Go to ‘‘Training With a Rolling
Code System.’’
Repeat these steps to train the
other two transmitter buttons to
operate any other remotely-
controlled devices around your
home (lighting, automatic gate,
security system, etc.).
For security purposes, newer garage
door opening systems use a ‘‘rolling’’
or variable code. Inf ormation f rom
the remote control and the garage
door opener are needed bef ore the
HomeLink transmitter can operate
the garage door opener.
The‘‘Training the Transmitter’’
procedure trains the HomeLink
transmitter to the proper garage
door opener code. The f ollowing
procedure synchronizes the
HomeLink transmitter to the garage
door opener so they send and
receive the correct codes.
