When the switch is in the DOOR position
*A, the light illuminates while the lift gate
is opened. When the lift gate is closed, the
light will turn off.
When the switch is in the OFF position
*B,
the light will turn off.
The light will turn off after 15 minutes
when the lights remain illuminated to
prevent the battery from becoming dis-
charged. HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver provides
a convenient way to consolidate the func-
tions 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 security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink
®will retain all
programming.
Once HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver is
programmed, retain the original transmit-
ter for future programming procedures
(Example: new vehicle purchases). Upon
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, see “Program-
ming HomeLink
®” (P.2-66).
WARNING
. Do not use HomeLink®Universal Trans-
ceiver with any garage door opener that
lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by federal safety standards.
(These standards 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 automati-
cally stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious injury
or death.
. During programming procedure, your
garage door or security gate may open
or close. Make sure that people and
objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc. that you are programming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming HomeLink
®Uni-
versal Transceiver.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
To program your HomeLink®Universal
Transceiver to operate a garage door, gate,
or entry door opener, home or office
lighting, you need to be at the same
location as the device. Note: Garage door
openers (manufactured after 1996) have
“rolling code protection”. To program a
garage door opener equipped with “rolling
code protection”; you will need to use a
ladder to get up to the garage door opener
motor to be able to access the “smart or
learn” program button.

3. Using both hands, simultaneously pushand hold both the HomeLink®button
you want to program and the hand-held
transmitter button.
DO NOT release the buttons until step 4
has been completed.
4. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on HomeLink
®flashes,
changing from a “slow blink” to a
“rapid blink”. This could take up to 90
seconds. When the indicator light
blinks rapidly, both buttons may be
released. The rapidly flashing light
indicates successful programming. To
activate the garage door or other

programmed device, push and hold the
programmed HomeLink®button - re-
leasing when the device begins to
activate.
5. If the indicator light on HomeLink
®
blinks rapidly for two seconds and then
turns solid, HomeLink®has picked up a
“ rolling code” garage door opener
signal. You will need to proceed with
the next steps to train HomeLink
®,
completing the programming may re-
quire a ladder and another person for
convenience.
6. Push and release the program button located on the garage door opener’s
motor to activate the “training mode”.
This button is usually located near the
antenna wire that hangs down from the
motor. If the wire originates from under
a light lens, you will need to remove the
lens to access the training button.
NOTE:
Once you have pushed and released
the training button on the garage door
opener’s motor and the “training light”
is lit, you have 30 seconds in which to
perform step 7. For convenience, use
the help of a second person to assist
when performing this step. 7. Quickly (within 30 seconds of pushing
and releasing the garage door opener
training button) and firmly push and
release the HomeLink
®button you’ve
just programmed. Push and release the
HomeLink
®button up to three times to
complete the training.
8. Your HomeLink
®button should now be
programmed. To program the remaining
HomeLink
®buttons for additional door
or gate openers, follow steps 2 through
8 only.
NOTE:
Do not repeat step 1 unless you want to
“ clear” all previously programmed
HomeLink
®buttons.
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink
®
buttons, please refer to the HomeLink®
web site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-
800-355-3515.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®FOR

you when operating the vehicle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicat-
ing with the vehicle as it receives radio
waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-
mits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere with the operation
of the Intelligent Key system under the
following operating conditions.
.When operating near a location where
strong radio waves are transmitted,
such as a TV tower, power station and
broadcasting station.
. When in possession of wireless equip-
ment, such as a cellular telephone,
transceiver, and CB radio.
. When the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by metallic materials.
. When any type of radio wave remote
control is used nearby.
. When the Intelligent Key is placed near
an electric appliance such as a perso- nal computer.
