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.2-60).
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.

To program your HomeLink ®
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. SIC3612

tons.
2. Position the end of the hand-held
transmitter 1-3 inches away from the
HomeLink ®
surface. SIC3613
3. Using both hands, simultaneously push
and hold both the HomeLink ®

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.

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.

In order to maintain the appearance of
your vehicle, it is important to take proper
care of it.
To protect the paint surface, wash your
vehicle as soon as you can:
. after a rainfall to prevent possible
damage from acid rain
. after driving on coastal roads
. when contaminants such as soot, bird
droppings, tree sap, metal particles or
bugs get on the paint surface
. when dust or mud builds up on the
surface
Whenever possible, store or park your
vehicle inside a garage or in a covered
area.
When it is necessary to park outside, park
in a shady area or protect the vehicle with
a body cover.
Be careful not to scratch the paint surface
when putting on or removing the body
cover. WASHING GUID-836955BF-390D-4BD9-A9ED-E82B3D771DEA
Wash dirt off the vehicle with a wet sponge
and plenty of water. Clean the vehicle
thoroughly using a mild soap, a special
vehicle soap or general purpose dishwash-
ing liquid mixed with clean, lukewarm
(never hot) water.
CAUTION . Do not use car washes that use acid in
the detergent. Some car washes, espe-
cially brushless ones, use some acid for
cleaning. The acid may react with some
plastic vehicle components, causing
them to crack. This could affect their
appearance, and also could cause them
not to function properly. Always check
with your car wash to confirm that acid
is not used.
. Do not wash the vehicle with strong
household soap, strong chemical deter-
gents, gasoline or solvents.
. Do not wash the vehicle in direct sun-
light or while the vehicle body is hot, as
the surface may become water-spotted.
. Avoid using tight-napped or rough
cloths, such as washing mitts. Care must be taken when removing caked-on
dirt or other foreign substances so the
paint surface is not scratched or da-
maged.
Rinse the vehicle again with plenty of clean
water.
Inside flanges, seams and folds on the
doors, hatches and hood are particularly
vulnerable to the effects of road salt.
Therefore, these areas must be regularly
cleaned. Make sure that the drain holes in
the lower edge of the door are open. Spray
water under the body and in the wheel
wells to loosen the dirt and wash away
road salt.
Avoid leaving water spots on the paint
surface by using a damp chamois to dry
the vehicle.
WAXING GUID-71C0704F-ABE3-4DDE-BBA8-904E37FD8A86
Regular waxing protects the paint surface
and helps retain new vehicle appearance.
Polishing is recommended to remove built-
up wax residue and to avoid a weathered
appearance before reapplying wax.

choosing the proper product.CLEANING EXTERIOR
