Programming the transmitter
Applies to: vehicles with garage door opener (Homelink)
Fig. 29 Distance between t he rad iator grille and the re
mote control transmitter
Programming the button : step 1 on the
control panel
1. Switch on the ignit ion.
2. Press both of the outside buttons on the con
trol unit¢
page 33, fig. 28 until the yellow
LED @turns off and the green LED@ blinks.
This procedure clears the standard codes that
were set at the factory and does
not need to
be repeated again to program the other but
tons.
3. Briefly press the button in the control panel
that you want to program.
4. Wait until the yellow LED@blinks. The pro
gramming mode is active for 5 minutes.
5. Go in front of the vehicle with the original re

you are programming to the control panel
button.
Programming the button: step 2 at the
radiator grille
6. Ho ld the remote control transmitter at the
vehicle radiator grille¢
fig. 29.
7. Now press the remote control transmitter
until the turn signals on your vehicle blink.
This can take up to 30 seconds.
8. If the emergency flashers blink three times,
the programming was successful.
If the
emergency flashers only b link one t ime, the
five-minute time limit for programming has
expired or the programming was unsuccess
ful. Repeat the programming starting from
the third step or change the distance to the
radiator grille.

9. If the garage door or other systems do not
open with the Homelink buttons even if the
programming was successfu l, the system
may use a rolling code instead of a fixed
code. You must also then perform
rolling
code programming
c:, page 35.
The other two buttons in the control panel can be
programmed using the instructions given above.
