HomeLink® Wireless Control
System (If Equipped)
WARNINGS
Make sure that the garage door
and security device are free from
obstruction when you are
programming. Do not program the
system with the vehicle in the garage. Do not use the system with any
garage door opener that does
not have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal
Safety Standards (this includes any
garage door opener manufactured
before April 1, 1982). Note:
Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in
other vehicles as well as for future
system programming.
Note: We recommend that upon the
sale or lease termination of your
vehicle, you erase the programmed
function buttons for security reasons.
See Erasing the function button codes
later in this section.
Note: You can program a maximum
of three devices. To change or replace
any of the three devices after it has
been initially programmed, you must
first erase the current settings. See
Erasing the function button codes later
in this section. The universal garage door opener
replaces the common hand-held
garage door opener with a
three-button transmitter that is
integrated into the driver
’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary
features, a garage door opener and a
platform for remote activation of
devices within the home. As well as
being programmed for garage doors,
the system transmitter can be
programmed to operate entry gate
operators, security systems, entry
door locks and home or office lighting.
Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com
or by calling the toll-free help line on
1-800-355-3515.
Programming
Note: Put a new battery in the
hand-held transmitter. This will ensure
quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency
