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.
The Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) fea-
tures a driver-interactive display which includes
HomeLink system messages. The EVIC is located on the
bottom of the tachometer.
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, and
release only when the EVIC display shows“CHANNELS
CLEARED”(after 20 seconds).Do nothold the buttons
for longer than 30 seconds anddo notrepeat step one to
program a second and/or third hand-held transmitter to
the remaining two HomeLink buttons.

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 theGate Operator/Canadian Pro-
grammingsection.
4. The EVIC display will show“CHANNEL X TRAIN-
ING”(where X is Channel 1, 2, or 3). Release both buttons
after the EVIC display shows“CHANNEL X TRAINED.”
NOTE:If the EVIC display shows“DID NOT TRAIN”

Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals totime-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 totime-outin the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties
programming a gate operator by using theProgram-
mingprocedures (regardless of where you live),replace
Programming HomeLinkstep 3with the following:
NOTE:If programming a garage door opener or gate
operator, it is advised to unplug the device during the
cyclingprocess to prevent possible overheating.
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button
while youpress and release every two seconds(cycle)
your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has
successfully been accepted by HomeLink. The EVICdisplay will show“CHANNEL X TRAINED”(where X is
Channel 1, 2, or 3). Proceed withProgrammingstep
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.
