· The battery is disconnected (while the alarm is set).
Arming the alarm
Press the LOCK button on the remote control, lock the car using the key in the driver's door or press the central lock

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-
devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). HomeLink®'s sun visor-mounted transceiver,
powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your hand -held remote controls..
NOTE: As a security precaution, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if the car has
been locked from the outside .
Programming the transceiver
1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver.
2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the
illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink®'s indicator light begins
to flash. Then release the buttons.
3. Hold your hand -held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the
HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-
800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand -held transmitter's button and the transceiver button you wish to
