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 overhead console or 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 out-
side of the garage before you begin pro-
gramming.
For efficient programming and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency sig-
nal, 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 pro-
gramming. 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
button 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 buttons until the EVIC display changes from “CHANNEL # TRAINING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED”, then release both buttons.
NOTE:
If the EVIC displays “DID NOT TRAIN” repeat from Step 2.
5.
At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING”
button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the
garage door opener motor. Firmly press and release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING”
button.
NOTE:
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the LEARN button has
been pressed.
6.
Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLink®button twice (holding
the button for two seconds each time). The EVIC will display “CHANNEL
#
TRANSMIT”. If the garage door opener/device activates, programming is complete.
NOTE:
If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds) to
complete the training.
7. To program the remaining two HomeLink
®buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

Programming A Non-Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.
1. Turn the ignition switch to 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 buttons until the EVIC display changes from “CHANNEL #
TRAINING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED”, then release both buttons.
5. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink®button and observe the indicator
light.
NOTE:
If the EVIC displays “DID NOT TRAIN” repeat from Step 2.
• To program the two remaining HomeLink
®buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
Using HomeLink®
To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink®button. Activation will
now occur for the programmed device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held trans-
mitter of the device may also be used at any time.
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
A 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter
outlet is located on the lower instrument
panel next to the climate control knob.
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 electrical device has been removed from the outlet, the inverter
should automatically reset.
WARNING!
To Avoid Serious Injury or Death DO NOT:
• insert any objects into the receptacles
• touch with wet hands
Close the lid when not in use. If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.

POWER OUTLETS
The auxiliary 12 Volt (13 Amp) power outlets can provide power for in-cab accesso-
ries designed for use with the standard “cigar lighter” plug. The 12 Volt power outlets
have a cap attached to the outlet indicating “12V DC”, together with either a key
symbol or a battery symbol.
The auxiliary power outlets can be found in the following locations:
• Lower left and lower right in the center of the instrument panel – if equipped witha column or a eight-speed electronic shifter.
• Inside the top storage tray.
• Inside the upper lid of the center stor- age compartment — if equipped.
•
Rear of the center console storage com-
partment — Quad Cab®or Crew Cab.
NOTE:
• Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts.
If the 160 Watt (13 Amp) power rating
is exceeded, the fuse protecting the
system will need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for acces- sory plugs only. Do not insert any other
object in the power outlet as this will
damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Improper use of the power outlet can
cause damage not covered by your new
vehicle warranty.
