If your garage door opener was
manuf actured bef ore April 1982, you
may not be able to program
HomeLink to operate it. Garage door
openers manuf actured bef ore 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.
HomeLink stores the code in a
permanent memory. There should
be no need to retrain HomeLink if
your car’s battery goes dead or is
disconnected.
The HomeLink Wireless Control
System built into your car can be
programmed to operate remotely-
controlled devices around your home,
such as garage doors, lighting, or
home security systems. It can
replaceuptothreeremote
transmitters.
If you have problems with training
the HomeLink Wireless Control
System, 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.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 HomeLink. If
you do not have this inf ormation, you
should contact the manuf acturer of
the equipment.
For quick and accurate training,
make sure the remote control
transmitter for the device (garage
door, automatic gate, security
system, etc.) has a fresh battery.
While training or using HomeLink,
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 are training HomeLink 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 you are training the second or
third buttons, go directly to Step 1. Unplug the garage door opener
motor f rom the house current.
Bef ore you can use HomeLink to
operate devices around your home, it
must ‘‘learn’’ the proper codes. For
example, to train HomeLink to open
and close the garage door:
Holdtheendof thegaragedoor
opener remote control 2 to 5
inches f rom HomeLink. Make
sure you are not blocking your
view of the red light in HomeLink.Select the HomeLink button you
want to train.
Press the button on the remote
control and the button on
HomeLink at the same time. Hold
down both buttons.
If you just took
delivery of your car and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink bef ore, you should erase
any previously learned codes bef ore
training the f irst button. To do this,
press and hold the two outside
buttons on HomeLink f or about 20
seconds, until the red light f lashes.
Release the buttons, then proceed to

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
HomeLink can operate the garage
door opener.
The ‘‘Training HomeLink’’
procedure trains HomeLink to the
proper garage door opener code.
The f ollowing procedure
synchronizes HomeLink to the
garage door opener so they send and
receive the correct codes.
The red light in HomeLink should
begin f lashing. It will f lash slowly
at first, then rapidly.
When the red light f lashes rapidly,
release both buttons. HomeLink
should have learned the code from
the remote control.
The remote control you are training
may stop transmitting after two
seconds. This is not long enough f or
HomeLink to learn the code. Release
and press the button on the remote
control every two seconds until
HomeLink has learned the code.
Plug in the garage door opener
motor, then test the HomeLink
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 button
you just trained. If the red light
blinks f or two seconds, then stays
on, you have a 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 HomeLink buttons to
operate any other remotely-
controlled devices around your
home (lighting, automatic gate,
security system, etc.).
