UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER (HomeLink®)
•HomeLink® replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices such as
garage door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security systems.The HomeLink®
unit is powered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
•The HomeLink® buttons that are located in the sunvisor designate the three different
HomeLink® channels.
•The HomeLink® indicator is located above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming HomeLink®
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage before you begin programming.
For efficient programming and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal, it is
recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device
that is being programmed to the HomeLink® system.
Erase all channels before you begin programming.To erase the channels, place the ignition
switch into the ON/RUN position, then press and hold the two outside HomeLink®
buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds or until the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink® for the
first time.Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,
on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995.These
Garage Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located
where the hanging antenna is attached to the Garage Door Opener.It is NOT the but-
ton that is normally used to open and close the door.The name and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer.
1.Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
2.Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3.Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and
the hand-held transmitter button.
4.Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light.The HomeLink® indi-
cator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the frequency
signal from the hand-held transmitter.Release both buttons after the indicator light
changes from slow to rapid.

WARNING!
•Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver.Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate.
•Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming
the transceiver.Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO)
which is odorless and colorless.Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and
can cause you and others to be severely injured or killed.
POWER INVERTER
•There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power
inverter outlet located on the back of
the center console.This outlet can
power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts.
•To turn on the power outlet, simply plug
in the device.The outlet automatically
turns off when the device is unplugged.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with built-in overload protection.If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down.Once the elec-
trical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter should automatically reset.
If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be
reset manually.To reset the inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in again.To
avoid overloading the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using
the inver ter.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death: Do Not
•insert any objects into the receptacles,
•or touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use.If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric shock
and failure.
