3HomeLink® Wireless Control System
(if so
equipped)N00554300027
HomeLink® Wireless Control System is a registered trademark
of Johnson Controls Inc..
HomeLink® provides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink® will operate most radio frequency devices such as
garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks
and security systems.NOTE
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while program-
ming HomeLink®.
HomeLink® is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No sep-
arate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s battery is dis-
charged or is disconnected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.

Once HomeLink® is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming procedures (for exam-
ple, new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® buttons should be erased for
security purposes.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not use HomeLink® with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as
required by U.S. Federal Regulations. A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object in the path of
a closing garage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current U.S. Federal
Regulations. Using a garage door opener without
these features increases the risk of serious injury or
death.
During programming, your garage door or gate may
open or close. Make sure that people and objects are
clear of the garage door or gate that you are pro-
gramming.

opener equipped with “rolling code protection”; you will
need to access the garage door opener motor to press the
motor’s learn buttons. For convenience, use a ladder and
another person to assist you.
