The HomeLinkUniversal
Transceiver built into your vehicle
canbeprogrammedtooperateupto
three remote 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. 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.
Todothis,pressandholdthetwo
outside buttons on the HomeLink
Transceiver for about 20 seconds, or
until the red indicator f lashes.
Release the buttons, then go to step
1.
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.
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.

opener remote control 2 to 5
inches f rom HomeLink. Make
sure you are not blocking your
view of the red indicator in
HomeLink.Press and hold the remote control
button and one of the HomeLink
buttons at the same time.
Plug in the garage door opener
motor, then test the HomeLink

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,
security system, etc.).
When the red indicator f lashes
rapidly, release both buttons.
HomeLink should have learned
the code f rom the remote control. The red indicator in HomeLink

HomeLink to learn the code. Release
and press the button on the remote
control every 2 seconds until HomeLink
has learned the code.

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 it sends and
receives the correct codes.Make sure you have properly

garage door opener unit. The
location will vary, depending on
the manufacturer. Press and hold the button on
HomeLink f or 3 to 4 seconds.

indicator on the garage door
opener unit. (Some systems may
require you to press the button up
to three times.)
Press the HomeLink button again.
It should operate the garage door.
Press the training button on the
garage door opener unit until the
