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) de-
vices such as garage doors, gates, home and
office lighting, entry door locks and security
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 HomeLink Universal Transceiver is pro-
grammed, retain the original transmitter for fu-
ture programming procedures (Example: new ve-
hicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink Universal Transceiver
buttons should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, see “PROGRAMMING
HomeLink” later in this section.

WARNING
●Always have the doors locked while driving.
Along with the use of seat belts, this pro-
vides greater safety in the event of an acci-
dent by helping to prevent persons from be-
ing thrown from the vehicle. This also helps
keep children and others from unintention-
ally opening the doors, and will help keep
out intruders.
● Before opening any door, always look for and
avoid oncoming traffic.
● Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls. Unattended children
could become involved in serious accidents.
LOCKING WITH MECHANICAL KEY
The power door lock system allows you to lock
or unlock all doors simultaneously using the
mechanical key.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder to the
rear of the vehicle
1will lock all doors.
● Turning the driver’s door key cylinder once
to the front of the vehicle
2will unlock the
driver’s door. After returning the key to the
neutral position
3, turning it to the front
again within 5 seconds will unlock all doors. ●
You can switch the lock system to the mode
that allows you to open all the doors when
the key is turned once. (See “HOW TO USE
SETTING BUTTON” in the “4. Monitor, cli-
mate, audio, phone and voice recognition
systems” section.)
OPENING AND CLOSING WINDOWS
WITH THE MECHANICAL KEY

“POWER WINDOWS” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section.)
To open the window, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the rear of the vehicle for longer than
1 second . The door is unlocked and the window
keeps opening while turning the key.
This function can also be performed by pushing
and holding the UNLOCK button on the Intelli-
gent Key. (See “REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY SYS-
TEM” later in this section.)
To close the windows, turn the driver’s door key
cylinder to the front of the vehicle for longer
than 1 second . The door is locked and the
window keeps closing while turning the key.
