The garage door opener (HomeLink Universal
Transceiver) is manufactured under license from
HomeLink
and can be programmed to operate garage
doors, gates, entry doors, door locks, home lighting
systems, and security systems, etc.
(a) Programming the HomeLink
SV14007
1Buttons 2Indicator light
The HomeLink in your vehicle has 3 buttons and you can
store one program for each button.
To ensure correct programming into the HomeLink
, install a
new battery in the hand- held transmitter prior to
programming. The battery side of the hand- held transmitter must be pointed
away from the HomeLink
during the programming process.
For Canadian users, follow the procedure in ºProgramming an
entrance gate/Programming all devices in the Canadian
marketº.
1. Decide which of 3 HomeLink
buttons you want to
program.
2. Place your hand- held garage transmitter 25 to 75 mm (1
to 3 in.) away from the surface of the HomeLink
.
Keep the indicator light on the HomeLink
in view while
programming.
3. Simultaneously press and hold the hand- held garage
transmitter button along with the selected HomeLink
button.
4. When the indicator light on the HomeLink
changes from
a slow to a rapid flash after 20 seconds, you can release both
buttons.
5. Test the operation of the HomeLink
by pressing the newly
programmed button. If programming a garage door opener,
check to see if the garage door opens and closes.
If the garage door does not operate, identify if your garage
transmitter is of the ºRolling Codeº type. Press and hold the
programmed HomeLink
button. The garage door has the
rolling code feature if the indicator light (on the HomeLink)
flashes rapidly and then remains lit after 2 seconds. If your
garage transmitter is the ºRolling Codeº type, proceed to the
heading ºProgramming a rolling code systemº.
6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each remaining HomeLink
button to program another device.

may vary by brand of garage door opener. Refer to the owner's
guide supplied by the garage door opener manufacturer for the
location of this ºtrainingº button.
2. Press the ºtrainingº button on the ceiling mounted garage
door opener motor.
Following this step, you have 30 seconds in which to initiate
step 3 below.
3. Press and release the vehicle's programmed HomeLink
button twice. The garage door may open. If the door does
open, the programming process in complete. If the door does
not open, press and release the button a third time. This third
press and release will complete the programming process by
opening the garage door.
The ceiling mounted garage door opener motor should now
recognize the HomeLink
unit and be able to activate the
garage door up/down.

CAUTION
Keep the trunk lid closed while driving. This not only
keeps the luggage from being thrown out, but also
prevents exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.
Always lock the trunk lid and all doors, and keep
away the vehicle keys out of children's reach.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Unsupervised children may lock themselves in the
vehicle or trunk and suffer serious injuries or death.

lamp comes on. Make sure the cap is tightened securely.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the
indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
CAUTION
Make sure the cap is tightened securely to prevent
fuel spillage in the event of an accident.
Use only a genuine Lexus fuel tank cap for
replacement. It is designed to regulate fuel tank
pressure.
Refueling the vehicle
As soon as the correctly operated nozzle switches off
automatically for the first time, the tank is full. Do not try
to add more fuel, because fuel may spill out.
