If your garage door was
manuf actured bef ore April 1, 1982,
you may not be able to program
HomeLink to operate it. These units
do not have safety features that
cause the motor to stop and reverse
it if an obstacle is detected during
closing, increasing the risk of injury. Do not use HomeLink with any
garage door opener that lacks saf ety
stop and reverse f eatures.
Units manuf actured between April 1,
1982 and January 1, 1993 may be
equipped with saf ety stop and
reverse f eatures. If your unit does
not have an external entrapment
protection system, an easy test to
conf irm the f unction and
perf ormance of the saf ety stop and
reverse f eature is to lay a 2 4
under the closing door. The door
should stop and reverse upon
contacting the piece of wood.
As an additional safety feature,
garage door openers manuf actured
af ter January 1, 1993 are required to
have external entrapment protection
systems, such as an electronic eye,
which detect an object obstructing
the door.
Refer to the safety information thatcame with your garage door opener
to test that the safety features are
f unctioning properly. If you do not
have this information, contact the
manuf acturer of the equipment.
Bef ore programming HomeLink to a
garage door or gate opener, make
sure that people and objects are out
of thewayof thedevicetoprevent
potential injury or damage.
When programming a garage door
opener, park just outside the garage.
If you just
received your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink bef ore, you should erase
any previously learned codes bef ore
training the first button. To do this,
press and hold the two outside
buttons on the HomeLink
transceiver for about 20 seconds,
until the red indicator f lashes.
Release the buttons, then proceed to
step 1.
The HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver built into your vehicle
canbeprogrammedtooperateupto

around your home, such as garage
doors, lighting, or home security
systems.
Bef ore programming your
