Gate Operator / Canadian Pro-
gramming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter remote signals to “time-out”
(or quit) after several seconds of transmis-
sion, which may not be long enough for
HomeLink
®to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are de-
signed to “time-out”in the same manner.
The indicator LED on the hand-held
remote will go off when the device times
out, indicating that it has finished transmit-
ting.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the program-
ming procedures, replace “Programming a
New HomeLink
®button ”step 3 with the
following:
While the HomeLink
®indicator light is
flashing orange, press and release (“cy-
cle ”)yourdevice ’s hand-held remote
every two seconds until the HomeLink
®indicator light changes from orange to
green. You may now release the hand-
held remote button.
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug
3-78

the device during the“cycling ”pro-
cess to prevent possible overheating.
Proceed with “Programming a New
HomeLink
®button ”step 4 to complete.
! Using HomeLink
®
To operate, simply press and release the
programmed HomeLink®button. Activa-
tion will now occur for the trained device
(i.e. garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/
office lighting, etc.). For convenience, the
hand-held remote of the device may also
be used at any time.
!Erasing HomeLink
®buttons
To erase programming from the three
buttons (individual buttons cannot be
erased but can be “reprogrammed”as
outlined below), follow the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink
®buttons for at least 10 seconds. The LED
indicator will change from continuously lit
to rapidly flashing. Release both buttons.
Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.
HomeLink
®is now ready to be pro-
grammed at any time beginning with
“Programming a New HomeLink
®button ”
- step 1. !
Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink
®button
To program a previously trained button,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
®button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to slowly
flash orange after 20 seconds. The
HomeLink
®button can be released at this
point. Proceed with “Programming a New
HomeLink
®button ”- step 3.
3. If you do not complete the program-
ming of a new device to the button, it will
revert to the previously stored program-
ming.
!Garage Door Two-Way Commu-
nication
HomeLink
®has the capability of commu-
nicating with your garage door opener.
HomeLink
®can receive and display “clos-
ing ”or “opening ”status messages from
compatible garage door opener systems.
At any time, HomeLink
®can also recall
and display the last recorded status
communicated by the garage door opener
to indicate your garage door being
“ closed ”or “opened ”.
HomeLink
®has the capability of receiving
this communication from the garage door
opener at a range up to 820 feet (250 m). Range may be reduced by obstacles such
as houses or trees. You may have to slow
your vehicle speed to successfully receive
the garage door opener communication.
!Programming Two-Way Commu-
nication
1) Status Indicators
Within 5 seconds after programming a
new HomeLink®button, both of Home-
Link ’s garage door status indicators will
flash rapidly green indicating that the
garage door two-way communication has
been enabled. If your garage door status
indicators flashed, two-way communica-
tion programming is complete.
If the garage door status indicators do not
flash, additional HomeLink

WARNING
. When programming the
HomeLink®Wireless Control Sys-
tem, you may be operating a
garage door opener or other
device. Make sure that people
and objects are out of the way
ofthegaragedoororother
device to prevent potential harm
or damage.
. Do not use the HomeLink
®Wire-
less Control System with a gar-
age door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature
as required by applicable safety
standards. A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet these
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these fea-
tures increases risk of serious
injury or death. For more infor-
mation, consult the HomeLink
®website at www.homelink.com or
call 1-800-355-3515.
& Outside mirrors
! Convex mirror (passenger side)
WARNING
Objects look smaller in a convex
mirror and farther away than when
viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use
the convex mirror to judge the
distance of vehicles behind you
when changing lanes. Use the inside
mirror (or glance backwards) to
determine the actual size and dis-
tance of objects that you view in
convex mirror.
