Programming
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 outside of the garage and your key in the
ignition, turn the key so that the ignition is in the on position.
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. Press and
release the programmed HomeLink button, and then begin programming
your garage door opener. See below for Steps5–7.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly for two 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 two 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.

possible while passing a parking space.
Note:The system always offers the last detected parking space (i.e. if
the vehicle detects multiple spaces while you are driving, it offers the
last one).
