HomeLinkžTransmitter
HomeLinkž, a combined universal transmitter and
receiver, provides a way to replace up to three
hand-held transmitters used to activate devices such as
gate operators, garage door openers, entry door
locks, security systems and home lighting. Additional
HomeLink
žinformation can be found on the internet at
www.homelink.com or by calling 1- 800- 355- 3515.
If your vehicle is equipped with the HomeLink
ž
Transmitter, it complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation.This device complies with RSS- 210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
Changes and modi®cations to this system by other than
an authorized service facility could void authorization
to use this equipment.
Programming the HomeLinkž
Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLinkžTransmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the ªstop and reverseº
feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982. If you have a newer
garage door opener with rolling codes, please be
sure to follow steps 6 through 8 to complete the
programming of your HomeLink
žTransmitter.
Read the instructions completely before attempting to
program the HomeLink
žTransmitter. Because of
the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another
person available to assist you in programming the
transmitter.
2-47
Page 116 of 460

Keep the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as
well as for future HomeLinkžprogramming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed HomeLink
žbuttons should be erased
for security purposes. Refer to ªErasing HomeLinkž
Buttonsº or, for assistance, contact HomeLinkžon the
internet at: www.homelink.com or by calling
1-800-355-3515.
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.
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
¯ash, 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
žbuttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about
1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink
ž
buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired
button on HomeLink
žand 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 ªGate Operator and Canadian
Programmingº later in this section.
4. The indicator light will ¯ash slowly at ®rst and then
rapidly after HomeLink
žsuccessfully receives the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter.
Release both buttons.
5. Press and hold the newly-trained HomeLink
žbutton
and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your device should
activate when the HomeLink
žbutton is pressed and
released.
To program the remaining two HomeLink
žbuttons,
begin with Step 2 under ªProgramming HomeLinkž.º
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. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener
receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the ªLearnº
or ªSmartº button. This can usually be found where
the hanging antenna wire is attached to the
motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the ªLearnº or ªSmartº
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
žbutton 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
žshould now activate your rolling-code
equipped device.
To program the remaining two HomeLink
žbuttons,
begin with Step 2 of ªProgramming HomeLinkž.º Do not
repeat Step 1.
Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals to ªtime outº or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long enough for
HomeLink
žto pick up the signal during programming.
Similarly, some U.S. gate operators are manufactured to
ªtime outº in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator by using the
ªProgramming HomeLink
žº procedures (regardless of
where you live), replace Step 3 under ªProgramming
HomeLink
žº with the following:
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
žbutton while
you press and release every two seconds (cycle)
your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has
been successfully accepted by HomeLink
ž. The
indicator light will ¯ash slowly at ®rst and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step 4 under ªProgramming HomeLink
žº
to complete.
2-49

Using HomeLinkž
Press and hold the appropriate HomeLinkžbutton for at
least half of a second. The indicator light will come
on while the signal is being transmitted.
Erasing HomeLinkžButtons
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 ¯ash, after 20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than
30 seconds.
HomeLink
žis now in the train (learning) mode and can
be programmed at any time beginning with Step 2
under ªProgramming HomeLink
ž.º
Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can be
reprogrammed. See ªReprogramming a Single
HomeLink
žButtonº next.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLinkž
Button
To program a device to HomeLinkžusing a HomeLinkž
button previously trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
žbutton.
Do not release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to ¯ash after
20 seconds. While still holding the HomeLink
ž
button, proceed with Step 2 under ªProgramming
HomeLinkž.º
Resetting Defaults
To reset HomeLinkžto default settings do the following:
1. Hold down the two outside buttons for about
20 seconds until the indicator light begins to ¯ash.
2. Continue to hold both buttons until the HomeLink
ž
indicator light turns off.
3. Release both buttons.

All-Weather Cargo Area
Your vehicle has the ability to operate in many different
con®gurations (midgate up or down, rear glass up or
down, tailgate up or down, power roof open or closed),
allowing the cargo and passenger area to be open
to the environment. To allow the vehicle to operate in
these con®gurations, it is equipped with different
features to help it resist the elements and protect cargo
inside the cargo area. Some of the features that help
with this are the cargo area ¯oor drains and the
cargo mat. These are designed to quickly direct water
out of the cargo box.
Cargo Area Floor Drains
Your vehicle has two cargo-area ¯oor drains located
behind the midgate near the sides of the cargo
area. These drains should be cleaned periodically to
allow water to exit the cargo area.
After hauling dirt, wood chips, pebbles etc. you will need
to ¯ush the cargo area ¯oor drains with water if it
becomes clogged. But ®rst you will have to remove the
drain cover by using the following steps:
1. Lower the midgate.
2. Lift the midgate ¯ap to access the cargo area ¯oor
drain covers.3. Remove the push pin found in the top surface of
the ¯oor drain cover.
4. Lift each ¯oor drain cover straight up.
Reverse the procedure to reinstall the drain covers.
