■When support is necessary
Visit on the web at
www.homelink.com/lexus
or call 1-800-355-3515.
■Before programming HomeLink®
During programming, it is possible
that garage doors, gates, or other devices may operate. For this rea-
son, 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 bat-
tery be placed in the remote control
transmitter for more accurate pro-
gramming.
Garage door opener motors manu-
factured after 1995 may be
equipped with rolling code protec-
tion. 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.
■Programming HomeLink®
Steps 1 through 3 must be performed
within 60 seconds, otherwise the indi-
cator light will stop flashing and pro-
gramming will not be able to be
completed.
1 Press and release the HomeLink
®
button you want to program and
check that the HomeLink
® indica-
tor light flashes (orange).
2 Point the remote control transmit-
ter for the device at the rear view
WARNING
■When programming a garage door or
other remote control device
The garage door or other device may
operate, so ensure people and objects
are out of danger to prevent potential
harm.
■Conforming to federal safety stan-
dards
Do not use the HomeLink
® compatible
transceiver with any garage door opener
or device that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by federal
safety standards.
This includes any garage door that can-
not detect an interfering object. A door
or device without these features
increases the risk of death or serious
injury.
