the radiator grille<=>
fig. 133 depends on
the system that you are programming.
- Depending on the model of the garage
door opener, you may need to release the
button on the remote and press it again
when programming. When program

Programming the rolling code
App lies to vehicles: with Home link
Additionally, a rolling code programming for
the Homelink universal remote control is re
quired for some systems.
Identifying the rolling code
"'Press the previously programmed Homelink
button again and hold it down.
"'Look at the LED@<=>
page 114, fig. 131. If
the LED blinks quickly, the features, such as
the garage door opener, are equipped with
the rolling code.
"'Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating the garage door opener motor
unit
"'Locate the setting button on the garage
door opener motor unit. The exact location
and color of the button may vary depending
on the garage door opener manufacturer .
"'Press the setting button on the garage door
opener motor unit (usually this will activate
a "setting light display" on the motor unit).
Now you will have about
30 seconds time to
perform the HomeLink button programming
on the controls.
Homelink® 11 7
Programming on the controls
"'Press the Home Link button that was already
programmed and hold for two seconds.
"'To end rolling code programming , press and
hold the Home link button for two seconds
again.
"'The Homelink button may need to be press
ed a third time to end the adjustment proce
dure for some garage door openers .
After the controls have been programmed, the garage door opener should recognize the
Homelink signal and operate when the Home
Link button is pressed . Now you may program
the other buttons as needed .
(D Tips
- Programming the rolling code can be
performed quicker and more easily with
the help of a second person.
- If difficulties should arise when pro
gramming the rolling code, consult the
operating instructions for the garage
door opener or other devices for possible
solutions.

All child restraints manufactured after Sep
tember 1, 2002, must have lower anchorage attachments for the
LATCH system .
Remember that the lower anchorage po ints
are only intended for insta llation and a ttach
ment of chi ld restraints specifically certified
for use with
LATCH lower anchorages. Chi ld
restraints that are not equipped with the low
er anchorage attachments can still be insta l
led in compliance with the child restraint
manufacturer 's instructions on using vehicle
safety belts.
A WARNING
Imp roper use of LATCH lower anchorages
can cause serious persona l injury in an ac
cident.
- Always carefully follow the child re
straints manufacturer's instructions for proper insta llation of the child res traint
and p roper use of the lower anchorages
