HomeLink Wireless Control
System (If Equipped)
WARNING
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). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the
risk of serious injury or death.
Note: 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.
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.
In-vehicle programming
This process is to program your
hand-held transmitter and your
in-vehicle HomeLink button.
Note: Put a new battery in the
hand-held transmitter. This will ensure
quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency
signal.

1. With your vehicle parked outsideof the garage, turn your ignition to
the on position, but do not start
your vehicle.
2. Hold your hand-held garage door transmitter 1–3 inches (2–8
centimeters) away from the
HomeLink button you want to
program.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously, press and hold the desired
HomeLink button and the
hand-held transmitter button. DO
NOT release either one until the
HomeLink indicator light flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The
rapid flashing indicates successful
training.
4. Press and hold the HomeLink button you programmed for five
seconds, then release. You may
need to do this twice to activate
the door. If your garage door does
not operate, watch the HomeLink
indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on, the
programming is complete. See
Programming your garage door
motor later in this section. If the indicator light flashes rapidly for
2 seconds and then turns to a
constant light, the HomeLink button
is not programmed yet. Do the
following:
Press and hold the HomeLink button
while you press and release the
hand-held transmitter button every 2
seconds. The HomeLink indicator light
will flash slowly and then rapidly once
the HomeLink function button
recognizes and accepts the hand-held
transmitter’s radio frequency signal.
After programming the HomeLink
button, begin programming your
garage door opener motor.
Note:
You may need a ladder to reach
the unit and you may need to remove
the cover or lamp lens on your garage
door opener.

the adaptive learning process will fully
update transmission operation.
Additionally, the strategy must be
relearned whenever the battery is
disconnected or a new battery is
installed.
