The light illuminates when the trunk lid is
opened. When the trunk lid is closed, the light
will go off.The HomeLink
Universal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver:

Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and se-
curity systems.

Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink
will retain all program-
ming.
Once the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(for example, new vehicle purchases).
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, refer to “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
” later in this sec-
tion.
WARNING

Do not use the HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by fed-
eral safety standards. (These stan-
dards 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 auto-
matically stop and reverse, does not
meet current federal safety stan-
dards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.

During the programming procedure,
your garage door or security gate will
open or close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people
and objects are clear of the garage
door, gate, etc. that you are
programming.
