Remote Alarm
When you press the button with the horn symbol on the
remote keyless entry transmitter, the parking lamps
will flash and the horn
will sound. This will allow you to
attract attention,
if needed.
Press the panic button again to stop the alarm from
sounding.
Remote Power Sliding Door Operation
If your vehicle has the power sliding door, your remote
keyless entry transmitter will have a button that has a van
symbol on it. Press it to open or close the sliding door.
See
Power Sliding Door (PSD) on page 2- 16.
If your vehicle has the dual power sliding doors, your
remote keyless entry transmitter will have two buttons
that have a van symbol on them. The van symbol on the
left is for the driver’s side sliding door and the van
symbol on the right is for the passenger’s side sliding
door. See
Power Sliding Door (PSD) on page 2-16.
If the power sliding door(s) is locked, first unlock all
doors, then press the van symbol to open the power
sliding door(s). The parking lamps will flash when
the right button with the van symbol is pressed and they
will not flash when the left button with the van symbol
is pressed. Press the van symbol again to close the
sliding door(s). See
Power Sliding Door (PSD) on
page 2- 16 for more information. You
can operate the power sliding door(s) with the
remote keyless entry transmitter only when the power
sliding door override switch(es) on the overhead
console is turned
off. See Power Sliding Door (PSD)
on page
2- 16.
If your vehicle’s fuel filler door is opened, the driver’s side
power sliding door will not open completely.
Do not try to
force the door. Once the fuel filler door is closed, the
driver’s side sliding door can be opened normally.
Matching Transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle
Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your dealer. Remember to bring
any remaining transmitters with you when you go to
your dealer. When the dealer matches the replacement
transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining transmitters
must also be matched. Once your dealer has coded the
new transmitter, the lost transmitter will not unlock
your vehicle. Each vehicle can have a maximum of
+^..I .L .----- :.LL--- --L-L^--I I- :A IUUI LI a1 131 I IILLGI 3 I I I~LCII IGU LV 11.
See your dealer to match transmitters to another vehicle.

Battery Replacement
Under normal use, the battery in your remote keyless
entry transmitter should last about three years.
You can tell the battery is weak if the transmitter won’t
work at the normal range in any location.
If you have
to get close to your vehicle before the transmitter works,
it’s probably time to change the battery.
Notice: When replacing the battery, use care not to
touch any of the circuitry. Static from your body
transferred to these surfaces may damage the
transmitter.
1. Insert a flat object like a coin into the slot on the
side of the transmitter and twist
it to separate the
halves.
2. Gently pry the battery out of the transmitter. Do not

Programming the HomeLink
Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink@ Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April
1, 1982.
Keep the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as
well as for future HomeLink@ programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink@ buttons should be erased
for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink@
Buttons” or, for assistance, contact HomeLink@ on
the internet at: www.homelink.com or by calling
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door or gate operator you are programming. When
programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside
of the garage.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the radio frequency.

5. Your
vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons,
releasing only when the indicator light begins to
flash, after 20 seconds.
Do not hold down the
buttons for longer than 30 seconds and do not
repeat this step to program a second and/or third
transmitter to the remaining
two HomeLink@ buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about
1 to 3 inches (3 to
8 cm) away from the HomeLink@
buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired
button on HomeLink@ and the hand-held transmitter
button.
Do not release the buttons until Step 4
has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may
require you to substitute Step 3 with the procedure
noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this section.
4. The indicator light will flash slowly at first and then
rapidly after HomeLink@ successfully receives the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter.
Release both buttons.

5. Press and hold the newly-trained HomeLink@ button
and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your device should
activate when the HomeLink@ button is pressed and
released.
To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons,
begin with Step
2 under “Programming HomeLink@.”
Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of the
programmed channels.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds
and then turns to a constant light, continue with
Steps 6 through 8 following to complete the
programming
of a rolling-code equipped device
(most commonly, a garage door opener).
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head
unit) in the garage, locate the “Learn” or “Smart”
button. This can usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart”
button. The name and color
of the button may
vary by manufacturer.
You will have
30 seconds to start Step 8.
8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold the
programmed HomeLink@ button for two seconds,
then release. Repeat the press/hold/release
sequence a second time, and depending on the
brand
of the garage door opener (or other rolling
code device), repeat this sequence a third time
to complete the programming.
HomeLink@ should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons,
begin with Step
2 of “Programming HomeLink@.”
Do not repeat Step 1.

Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals to “time out” or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long enough for
HomeLink@ to pick up the signal during programming.
Similarly, some
U.S. gate operators are manufactured to
“time out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator by using the “Programming
HomeLink@” procedures (regardless of where you live),
replace Step
3 under “Programming HomeLink@’ with
the following:
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink@ button while
you press and release every two seconds (cycle)
your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has
been successfully accepted by HomeLinkO. The
indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step
4 under “Programming HomeLink@“
to complete.
Using HomeLink@
Press and hold the appropriate HomeLink@ button for
at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on
while the signal is being transmitted.
Erasing HomeLink@ Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons do the
following:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until
the indicator light begins to flash, after
20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than
30 seconds.
HomeLink@ is now in the train (learning) mode and can
be programmed at any time beginning with Step
2
under “Programming HomeLink@.”
Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can be
reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink@ Button” next.

Reprogramming a Single HomeLink@
Button
To program a device to HomeLink@ using a HameLink@
button previously trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink@ button.
Do not release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to flash after
20 seconds. While still holding the HomeLink@
button, proceed with Step
2 under “Programming
HomeLink@.”
Resetting Defaults
To reset HomeLink@ to default settings do the following:
1. Hold down the two outside buttons for about
20 seconds until the indicator light begins to flash.
2. Continue to hold both buttons until the HomeLink@
indicator light turns
off.
3. Release both buttons.
