effort required to steer during normal
vehicle operation, have the EPS
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.

tion switch in the ON position.

Programming HomeLink®
Please note the following:
When programming a garage door
opener, it is advised to park the
vehicle outside of the garage.
It is recommended that a new bat- tery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink ®
for quicker
training and accurate transmission
of the radio-frequency signal.
Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be placed in the
ACC (or "Accessories") position for
programming and/or operation ofHomeLink ®
.
In the event that there are still pro- gramming difficulties or questions
after following the programming
steps listed below, contactHomeLink ®
at: www.homelink.com
or by calling 1-800-355-3515.
Rolling code programming
Rolling code devices which are
"code-protected" and manufactured
after 1996 may be determined by the
following:
Reference the device owner's manual for verification.
The handheld transmitter appears to program the HomeLink ®
Universal Transceiver but does not
activate the device.
Press and hold the trained HomeLink button. The device has
the rolling code feature if the indi-
cator light flashes rapidly and then
turns solid after 2 seconds.
Before programming HomeLink
®
to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure people and
objects are out of the way of the
device to prevent potential harm
or damage. Do not use theHomeLink ®
with any garage door
opener that lacks the safety stop
and reverse features required by
U.S. federal safety standards
(this includes any garage door
opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garagedoor that cannot detect an object- signaling the door to stop and
reverse - does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener
without these features increases
the risk of serious injury ordeath.WARNING
