information label. The label is located on the inside of the fuel filler flap. The label lists both tire and vehicle design
limits. Do not load your car beyond the load limits indicated.

program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing tells you the HomeLink® button has
been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.
5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock), refer to
"Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons. If, after several attempts, you are unable to
successfully train the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn your hand -held transmitter's signal, contact
HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink® .jci.com).
WARNING!
· If you use HomeLink® to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
· Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and "reverse"
features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before
April 1, 1982) A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to "stop" and "reverse" does
not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of
serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355- 3515 (Internet:
www.HomeLink® .jci.com).
pg. 185 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
NOTE - Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand -held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train
HomeLink® , continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your hand -held
transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink®
indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.
Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code
Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses
a rolling code system and is manufactured after 1996:
Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
If your hand -held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the programmed button
does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.
Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the HomeLink®
indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a rolling code garage door opener , follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver
button according to "Programming the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The location and color of the training button
may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink® .jci.com).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button a
second time to complete the training process. Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third
time to complete the training.
