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.
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
transmitter 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 Door Opener with a
ªRolling 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. 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 garage door opener should now recognize
the 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.

Warning Lights, Gages
and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle's functions. As you
will see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they're working. If you
are familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle's functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there's a problem with your vehicle.
