& WARNING
• Never use the Homelink'"' transmitter with any garage door
opener that does have not the safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety standards . This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured before April 1 , 1982 .
• A garage door opener whi ch cannot detect an object , signaling
the door to stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety standards . Using a garage door opener without these features
increases risk of serious injury or death .
Controls and equip ­
ment
& WARNING (continued)
• For safety reasons never release the parking brake or start the
engine while anyone is standing in front of the vehicle .
• A garage door or an estate gate may sometimes be set
in
motion when the Homelink ® remote control is being
programmed . If the device is repeatedly activated , this can over ­
strain motor and damage its electrical components -an over­
heated motor is a fire hazard!
• To avoid possible injuries or property damage , please always
make absolutely certain that no persons or objects are located in
the range of motion of any equipment being operated.

process.
- HomeLink ® should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
If the 5 minute time limit is exceeded , the emergency flashers will
flash one time to indicate that the proc ess has been terminated . In
this case, repeat steps 4 through 9 .
If the em erg ency flashers do not flash
three tim es (after about 15-
