vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.
HomeLink Universal Transceiver:
O Will operate most Radio Frequency
(RF) devices such as garage doors,
gates, home and office lighting, entry
door locks and security systems.
O Is powered by your vehicle's battery.
No separate batteries are required. If
the vehicle's battery is discharged or
is disconnected, HomeLink will retain
all programming.
Once the HomeLink Universal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(i.e., new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of
the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink
Universal Transceiver buttons should be
erased for security purposes. For addi-
tional information, refer to ªProgramming
HomeLink º later in this section.SIC1859

WARNINGO Do not use the HomeLink Universal
Transceiver with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse features
as required by federal safety standards.
(These standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after April 1,
1982.) A garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death.
O During the programming procedure, your
garage door or security gate will open or
close (if the transmitter is within range).
Make sure that people or objects are clear
of the garage door, gate, etc. that you are
programming.
O Your vehicle's engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink
Universal Transceiver. PROGRAMMING HomeLink To program your HomeLink Transceiver
to operate a garage door, gate, or entry
door opener, home or office lighting, you
need to be at the same location as the
device. Note: Garage door openers (manu-
factured after 1996) have ªrolling code
protectionº. To program a garage door
opener equipped with ªrolling code pro-
tectionº; you will need to use a ladder to
get up to the garage door opener motor to
be able to access the ªtrainingº program
button.
1. To begin, push and hold the 2 outer
HomeLink buttons (to clear the
memory) until the indicator light
q A
blinks (after 20 seconds). Release both
buttons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held trans-
mitte r1-3 inches (26 - 76 mm) away
from the HomeLink
surface. SIC3012

3. Using both hands, simultaneously
push and hold both the HomeLink
button you want to program and the
hand-held transmitter button.
DO NOT release the buttons until step
4 has been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indi-
cator light on the HomeLink flashes,
changing from a ªslow blinkº to a
ªrapid blinkº. When the indicator light
flashes rapidly, both buttons may be
released. The rapidly flashing light in-
dicates successful programming. To
activate the garage door or other pro-
grammed device, push and hold the programmed HomeLink button - re-
leasing when the device begins to ac-
tivate.
5. If the indicator light on the HomeLink
blinks rapidly for two seconds and then
turns solid, HomeLink has picked up a
ªrolling codeº garage door opener sig-
nal. You will need to proceed with the
next steps to train the HomeLink to
complete the programming which may
require a ladder and another person for
convenience.
6. Push and release the training button
located on the garage door opener's
motor to activate the ªtraining modeº.
This button is usually located near the
antenna wire that hangs down from
the motor. If the wire originates from
under a light lens, you will need to re-
move the lens to access the training
button.
NOTE:
Once you have pushed and released the
training button on the garage door open-
er's motor and the ªtraining lightº is lit,
you have 30 seconds in which to perform
step 7. Use the help of a second person for
convenience to assist when performing
this step. 7. Quickly within 30 seconds of pushing
and releasing the garage door opener
program button, firmly push and re-
lease the HomeLink button you've
just programmed. Push and release
the HomeLink button up to three
times to complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink button should now be
programmed.
To program the remaining HomeLink
buttons for additional door or gate
openers, follow steps 2-8 only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step one unless you want to
ªclearº all previously programmed
HomeLink buttons.
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink
buttons, refer to the HomeLink web site
at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515.

The Intelligent Key uses coded radio sig-
nals to communicate with the vehicle.
When the Intelligent Key is near the ve-
hicle, such as in your pocket or purse, it
allows the vehicle to be locked, unlocked,
or started without inserting the ignition
key. It is also possible to use the remote
control entry function.
CAUTIONO Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you.
O Do not leave the vehicle with the Intelli-
gent Key inside.
O The Intelligent Key may not function
correctly depending on the environ-
ment or operating conditions. It could
also malfunction if you do not use it
correctly.
O The Intelligent Key transmits faint
radio waves.
In the following situations, the Intelli-
gent Key and remote control entry func-
tions may not operate correctly, and
you may have to use the metal key (me-
chanical key, valet key or wallet key): Ð when there are strong signals
coming from a television tower,
power station or broadcasting sta-
tion.
Ð when you have wireless equipment
or a cellular phone with you.
Ð when the Intelligent Key is in con-
tact with or covered by a metallic
material.
Ð when radio wave-type remote con-
trol entry is used nearby.
Ð when the Intelligent Key is placed
near an electric appliance such as a
personal computer.
O The Intelligent Key continually con-
sumes battery power as the key re-
ceives a signal to communicate with
the vehicle. Battery life is about 2
years, although it varies depending on
the operating conditions. When the
battery of the Intelligent Key is low, the
green blinking key warning light goes
out about 30 seconds after the ignition
switch is turned to the ON position. If
the battery runs down, replace it with a
new one.
O If the Intelligent Key receives strong
signal over an extended period of time, the battery could quickly run down. Do
not place the Intelligent Key near an
electric appliance such as a television
set or personal computer.
O Because the ignition switch is elec-
tronically controlled, if the battery is
completely discharged when the igni-
tion switch is in the LOCK position, the
steering lock cannot be released and
the ignition switch cannot be turned
(including the mechanical key). Be
careful not to completely discharge the
battery.
O In case the battery is completely dis-
charged, make sure to recharge the
battery immediately.
