NOTE:The default for the compass variance is zone 8.
To set the variance: Turn the ignition ON and set the
display to “Compass/Temperature.” Press and hold the
RESET button approximately five seconds. The last vari-
ance zone number will be displayed. Press the STEP
button to select the new variance zone and press the
RESET button to resume normal operation.
Outside Temperature
Because the ambient temperature sensor is located un-
derhood, engine temperature can influence the displayed
temperature, therefore, temperature readings are slowly
updated when the vehicle speed is below 20 mph (30
km/h) or during stop and go driving.
GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED
The HomeLink Universal Transceiver replaces up to three
remote controls (hand held transmitters) that operate de-
vices such as garage door openers, motorized gates, or
home lighting. It triggers these devices at the push of a
button. The Universal Transceiver operates off your vehi-
cle’s battery and charging system; no batteries are needed.

For additional information on HomeLink, call 1–800–
355–3515, or on the internet at www.homelink.com.
WARNING!
A moving garage door can cause injury to people and
pets in the path of the door. People or pets could be
seriously or fatally injured. Only use this transceiver
with a garage door opener that has a “stop and
reverse” feature as required by federal safety stan-
dards. This includes most garage door opener mod-
els manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage
door opener without these safety features it could
cause injury or death. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515
or, on the Internet at www.homelink.com for safety
information or assistance.
WARNING!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger-
ous gas. Do not run the vehicle’s exhaust while
training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause seri-
ous injury or death.
WARNING!
Your motorized door or gate will open and close
while you are training the Universal Transceiver. Do
not train the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate. A moving door or gate can
cause serious injury or death to people and pets or
damage to objects.

Programming HomeLink
NOTE:When programming a garage door opener, it is
advised to park outside the garage. It is also recom-
mended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being programmed to
HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmis-
sion of the radio-frequency signal.
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, and
release only when the indicator light begins to flash (after
20 seconds). Do nothold the buttons for longer than 30
seconds and do notrepeat step one to program a second
and/or third hand-held transmitter to the remaining two
HomeLink buttons. 2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3
inches (3-8 cm) away from the HomeLink buttons while
keeping the indicator light in view.

3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink
button that you want to train and the hand-held trans-
mitter buttons. Do not release the buttons until step 4
has been completed.
NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers
may require you to replace this Programming Step 3 with
procedures noted in the Gate Operator/Canadian Pro-
gramming section.
4. The HomeLink indicator light will flash slowly and
then rapidly after HomeLink successfully receives the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release
both buttons after the indicator light changes from the
slow to the rapid flash.
5. Press and hold the just 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. NOTE:
To program the remaining two HomeLink but-
tons, begin with Programmingstep two. Do not repeat
step one.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and
then turns to a constant light, continue with Program-
ming  steps 6-8 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 learnorsmart button. This
can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the learnorsmart button.
(The name and color of the button may vary by manu-
facturer.)
NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step
eight.

8. Return to the vehicle and firmlypress, hold for two
seconds and release the programmed HomeLink button.
Repeat the press/hold/release sequence a second time,
and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener
(or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this
sequence a third time to complete the programming.
HomeLink should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
NOTE: To program the remaining two HomeLink but-
tons, begin with Programmingstep two. Do not repeat
step one . For questions or comments, please contact
HomeLink at www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515 .
Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of
transmission which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to
time-outin the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
programming a gate operator by using the Program-
ming  procedures (regardless of where you live), replace
 Programming HomeLink step 3 with the following:
NOTE: If programming a garage door opener or gate
operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the
 cycling process to prevent possible overheating.
3. 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
successfully been accepted by HomeLink. (The indicator
light will flash slowly and then rapidly.) Proceed with
 Programming step four to complete.

Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and release the programmed
HomeLink button. Activation will now occur for the
trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting,
etc.). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the
device may also be used at any time. In the event that
there are still programming difficulties or questions,
contact HomeLink at: www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-
3515 .
Erasing HomeLink Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons (individual
buttons cannot be erased but can be reprogrammed-
note below), follow the step noted:
•Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons until
the indicator light begins to flash-after 20 seconds.
Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer that 30 seconds. HomeLink is now in the train (or learning)
mode and can be programmed at any time beginning
with
Programming - step 2.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button
To program a device to HomeLink using a HomeLink
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.
Without releasing the HomeLink button, proceed with
 Programming step 2
