The HomeLink®Universal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver:
. Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and
security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is dis-
connected, HomeLink
®will retain all pro-
gramming.
When the HomeLink
®Universal Transcei-
ver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming proce-
dures (Example: new vehicle purchases) .
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, refer to “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®” (P.2-59) .
WARNING
. Do not use the HomeLink®Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by
federal safety standards. (These
standards became effective for
opener models manufactured after
April 1, 1982) . A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object in the
path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases the risk of serious injury or
death.
. During the programming procedure
your garage door or security gate
will open and close (if the transmit-
ter is within range) . Make sure that
people or objects are clear of the
garage door, gate, etc. that you are
programming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming the
HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver.
Do not breathe exhaust gases; they
contain colorless and odorless car-
bon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is
dangerous. It can cause uncon-
sciousness or death.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
If you have any questions or are having difficulty
programming your HomeLink®buttons, refer to
the HomeLink®web site at: www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.
NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device being programmed to
HomeLink
®for quicker programming and
accurate transmission of the radio-fre-
quency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmit- ter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away from the
HomeLink
®surface, keeping the HomeLink®
indicator light*1in view.

CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED IN-
FORMATION
The following procedure clears the programmed
information from both buttons. Individual buttons
cannot be cleared. However, individual buttons
can be reprogrammed, see “Reprogramming a
single HomeLink
®button” (P.2-62).
To clear all programming
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink®
buttons until the indicator light begins to
flash in approximately 10 seconds. Do not
hold for longer than 20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
HomeLink
®is now in the programming mode
and can be programmed at any time beginning
with “Programming HomeLink
®” - Step 1.
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HomeLink®BUTTON
To reprogram a HomeLink®Universal Transcei-
ver button, complete the following.
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
®
button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the HomeLink
®
button, proceed with “Programming
HomeLink®” - Step 1. For questions or comments, contact HomeLink
®
at: www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515.
The HomeLink®Universal Transceiver button
has now been reprogrammed. The new device
can be activated by pushing the HomeLink
®
button that was just programmed. This proce-
dure will not affect any other programmed
HomeLink
®buttons.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN
If your vehicle is stolen, you should change the
codes of any non-rolling code device that has
been programmed into HomeLink
®. Consult the
Owner’s Manual of each device or call the
manufacturer or dealer of those devices for
additional information.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will
need to reprogram the HomeLink
®Univer-
sal Transceiver with your new transmitter
information.

VALET HAND-OFF
When you have to leave a key with a valet, give
them the Intelligent Key itself after removing the
mechanical key to protect your belongings.
To prevent the glove box from being opened
during valet hand-off, follow the procedures
below.
1. Remove the mechanical key from the In-telligent Key.
2. Lock the glove box with the mechanical key.
3. Hand the Intelligent Key to the valet, keeping the mechanical key in your pocket or bag.
Insert the mechanical key into the Intelligent
Key when you retrieve your vehicle.
For glove box lock, see “Storage” (P.2-43) .
WARNING
. Always have the doors locked while
driving. Along with the use of seat
belts, this provides greater safety in
the event of an accident by helping
to prevent persons from being
thrown from the vehicle. This also
helps keep children and others from
unintentionally opening the doors,
and will help keep out intruders.
. Before opening any door, always
look for and avoid oncoming traffic.
. Do not leave children unattended
inside the vehicle. They could un-
knowingly activate switches or con-
trols. Unattended children could
become involved in serious acci-
dents.
