Sunroof (Option)
The sunroof has both manual and express features for
opening the glass panel and sunshade.
If your vehicle has this
option, the switch for the
sunroof is located on the
headliner between the
sun visors.
The sunroof switch has four positions that control
sunroof movement.
The switch will only work when the ignition is on or
when the RAP is active. See ªRetained Accessory
Power (RAP)º in the Index.
Open: Press and hold the switch rearward to the first
position to open the glass panel and sunshade. The
sunshade can also be opened manually.Comfort Stop: Press and release the switch rearward to
the second position to express open the glass panel to
the comfort stop position. The comfort stop position is
designed to help reduce noise and make passengers
more comfortable.
Express Open: When the glass panel is express
opening, pressing the switch in any direction will stop it
in a partially
-opened position. The glass panel may be
fully opened by pressing the switch rearward again. If
you press and hold the switch in the express open
position for more than one and a half seconds, the
express open operation will be overridden and the
sunroof will operate manually.
Close: To close the glass panel, press and hold the
switch forward. As the glass panel reaches the closed
position, it will open slightly toward the vent position
and then drop down to the closed position to provide
a better seal. The sunshade must be closed manually.
Vent: Once the sunroof is closed, it can be opened to the
vent position by pushing the switch upward. To close the
glass panel, pull the switch downward. The sunshade
must be opened and closed manually for vent operation.

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.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand
-held transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the radio frequency.
Your vehicle's engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. Decide which one of the three channels (one of the
three HomeLink buttons) you want to program.
2. Press and hold the desired button on HomeLink
through Step 3.

2-68
3. When the HomeLink indicator light begins to blink
slowly (this may take up to 30 seconds), hold the
hand
-held transmitter about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm)
from HomeLink and then press and hold the transmit
button on the hand
-held transmitter. Continue to
hold both buttons until the indicator light on
HomeLink begins to flash rapidly (this may take
up to 90 seconds).
If you have trouble programming HomeLink, make
sure that you have followed the directions exactly as
described and that the battery in the hand
-held
transmitter is not weak. If you still cannot program it,
move the hand
-held transmitter to the left or right or
forward or backward or flip it upside down. HomeLink
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 ªTraining a Garage Door Opener with
Rolling Codesº later in this section or contact the
manufacturer of HomeLink at 1
-800-355-3515, or on
the internet at www.homelink.com.
Be sure to keep the original hand
-held transmitter in
case you need to erase and reprogram HomeLink.
Training a Garage Opener with aªRolling
Codeº Feature (If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to HomeLink, 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 HomeLink.
1. Find the ªLearnº or ªSmartº button on the
garage door opener motor head unit. The exact
location and color will vary by garage door opener
brand. If you have difficulty finding the Learn or
Smart button, refer to your garage door opener
owner's manual or contact the manufacturer of
HomeLink at 1
-800-355-3515, or on the
internet at www.homelink.com.
Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful
to have another person assist in programming
the transmitter.

2-69
2. Press the Learn or Smart button on the garage
door opener motor head unit. An indicator light will
begin to flash when the motor head unit enters the
training mode.
Following this step, you have 30 seconds to
start Step 3.
3. Return to HomeLink in your vehicle and firmly
press and release the programmed HomeLink
button three times.
The rolling
-code garage door opener should now
recognize HomeLink. You may either use HomeLink 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
manufacturer of HomeLink at 1
-800-355-3515, or on
the internet at www.homelink.com.
Canadian Programming
Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand
-held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting after two seconds. In this case, you should
press and hold the HomeLink button (see Steps 2 and 3
under ªProgramming the HomeLink Transmitterº) while
you press and repress (cycle) your hand
-held transmitter
every two seconds until HomeLink is trained.
Operating the HomeLink Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on HomeLink for
at least a half of a second. The indicator light will come
on while the signal is being transmitted.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons on HomeLink until the indicator
light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds).
Release both buttons.
Resetting Defaults
To reset HomeLink to default settings, hold down the
two outside buttons on HomeLink until the indicator
light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds).
Continue to hold the buttons until the HomeLink
indicator light turns off and then release both buttons.
