The HomeLink Universal
Transceiver built into your vehicle
canbeprogrammedtooperateupto
three remotely controlled devices
around your home, such as garage
doors, lighting, or home security
systems.
If you are training HomeLink to
operate a garage door or gate, you
should unplug the motor f or that
device during training. Repeatedly
pressing the remote control button
could burn out the motor.
HomeLink stores the code in a
permanent memory. There should
be no need to retrain HomeLink if
your vehicle’s battery goes dead or is
disconnected. If your garage door
opener was manuf actured bef ore
April 1982, you may not be able to
program HomeLink to operate it.
They do not have the saf ety f eature
that causes the motor to stop and reverse if an obstacle is detected
during closing, increasing the risk of
injury.
Always ref er to the opening
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,
contact the manuf acturer of the
equipment.
If you are training the second or
third buttons, go directly to step 1.If you just
received your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink bef ore, you should erase
any previously learned codes bef ore
training the first button. To do this,
press and hold the two outside
buttons on the HomeLink
Transceiver for about 20 seconds,
until the red indicator f lashes.
Release the buttons, then proceed to
step 1.

Holdtheendof thegaragedoor
opener remote control 2 to 5
inches f rom HomeLink. Make
sure you are not blocking your
view of the red indicator in
HomeLink. The remote control
you are training f rom may stop
transmitting after 2 seconds. This is
not long enough f or HomeLink to
learn the code. Release and press the
button on the remote control every 2
seconds until HomeLink has learned
the code.
The red indicator in HomeLink
should begin f lashing. It will f lash
slowly at first, then rapidly.
When the red indicator f lashes
rapidly, release both buttons.
HomeLink should have learned
the code f rom the remote control. Plug in the garage door opener
motor, then test the HomeLink
button by pushing it. If the button
does not work, repeat the
procedure to train it again. If it still
does not work, you may have a
variable or rolling code garage
door opener. See if you do by
pressing and holding the
HomeLink button you just trained.
If the red indicator blinks for 2
seconds then stays on, you have a
rolling code garage door opener.
Go to ‘‘Training with a Rolling
Code System’’ (see page ).
Repeat these steps to train the
other two HomeLink buttons to
operate any other remotely
controlled devices around your
home (lighting, automatic gate,
