■Before programming HomeLink®
●During programming, it is possible that garage doors, gates, or other
devices may operate. For this reason, make sure that people and objects
are clear of the garage door or other devices to prevent injury or other
potential harm.
●It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the remote control
transmitter for more accurate programming.
●Garage door opener motors manufactured after 1995 may be equipped
with rolling code protection. If this is the case, you may need a stepladder
or other sturdy, safe device to reach the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the
garage door opener motor.
The garage door opener can be progra mmed to operate garage doors, gates,
entry doors, door locks, home lighting systems, security systems, and other

When trouble arises
If your vehicle is transported by a flatbed truck, it should be tied down at the loca-
tions shown in the illustration.
If you use chains or cables to tie down your vehicle, the angles shaded in black
must be 45 °.
Do not overly tighten the tie downs or the vehicle may be damaged.
If a tow truck is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily
towed using cables or chains secured to the emergency towing eyelets. This
should only be attempted on hard surfaced roads for at most 50 miles (80 km)
at under 18 mph (30 km/h).
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer and operate the brakes. The vehicle’s
wheels, drive train, axles, steering and brakes must be in good condition.
