opener, it is advised to park the vehi-
cle outside of the garage.
• It is recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmit-
ter of the device being programmed to
HomeLink
®for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency signal.
• Some vehicles may require the igni-
tion switch to be turned to the second
(or "accessories") position for pro-
gramming and/or operation of
HomeLink.
• In the event that there are still pro-
gramming difficulties or questions
after following the programming steps
listed below, contact HomeLink
®at:
www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-
3515.

NOTICESome devices may require you to replace
this Programming step 3 with proce-
dures noted in the "Gate
Operator/Canadian Programming" sec-
tion. If the HomeLink
®indicator light
does not change to a rapidly blinking
light after performing these steps, con-
tact HomeLink

HomeLink
®button and observe the
indicator light.
 If the indicator light stays on con-
stantly, programming is complete
and your device should activate
when the HomeLink
®
button is
pressed and released.
 If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
2 seconds and then turns to
a constant light, continue with
"Programming" steps 5-7 to com-
plete the programming of a rolling
code equipped device (most com-
monly a garage door opener).5. At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate
the "leam" or "smart" button. This can
usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor-
head unit.
6. Firmly press and release the "leam" or
"smart" button. (The name and color of
the button vary by manufacturer).
There are 30 seconds to initiate step

and release the programmed
HomeLink
®
button. Repeat the
"press/hold/release" sequence a sec-
ond time, and, depending on the brand
of the garage door opener (or other
rolling code equipped device), repeat
this sequence a third time to complete
the programming process.
HomeLink
®should now activate your
rolling code equipped device.Gate operator & Canadian program-
ming
During programming, your handheld
transmitter may automatically stop trans-
mitting. Continue to press the Integrated
