Manual Sliding Rear Window — If Equipped
A locking device in the center of the window helps to
prevent entry from the rear of the vehicle. Squeeze the lock
to release the window.
Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of pres-
sure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears. Your
vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down,
or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized.
If the buffeting occurs with the rear windows open, open the
front and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting.
If the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the
sunroof opening to minimize the buffeting or open any
window.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED
HomeLink replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that
operate devices such as garage door openers, motorized
gates, lighting or home security systems. The HomeLink unit
is powered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
The HomeLink buttons that are located on the sun visor
designate the three different HomeLink channels.HomeLink Buttons
NOTE:
HomeLink is disabled when the Vehicle Security Alarm is
active. NOTE:
Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has
a “stop and reverse” feature as required by federal safety
standards. This includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener
without these safety features. Call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or,
on the Internet at HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the universal transceiver. Do not
program the transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only use this trans -
ceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and
reverse” feature as required by Federal safety stan -
dards. This includes most garage door opener models
manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door
opener without these safety features.

Before You Begin Programming HomeLink
Be sure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage
before you begin programming.
For more efficient programming and accurate transmission
of the radio-frequency signal it is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device
that is being programmed to the HomeLink system.
To erase the channels, place the ignition in the ON/RUN
position, and push and hold the two outside HomeLink
buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds or until the orange
indicator flashes.
NOTE:
• Erasing all channels should only be performed whenprogramming HomeLink for the first time. Do not erase
channels when programming additional buttons.

• If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at HomeLink.com
for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
For programming garage door openers that were manufac
-
tured after 1995. These garage door openers can be identified
by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the
hanging antenna is attached to the garage door opener.
NOTE:
It is NOT the button that is normally used to open and close
the door. The name and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.

Training The Garage Door Opener
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink button you want to program while you push and hold the hand-held trans-
mitter button. 4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator
light. The HomeLink indicator will flash slowly and then
rapidly after HomeLink has received the frequency signal
from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons
after the indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
5. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. This can usually
be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to
the garage door opener/device motor. Firmly push and
release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. On some
garage door openers/devices there may be a light that
blinks when the garage door opener/device is in the
LEARN/TRAIN mode.
NOTE:
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after
the LEARN button has been pushed.
6. Return to the vehicle and push the programmed Home -
Link button twice (holding the button for two seconds
each time). If the garage door opener/device activates,
programming is complete.

For programming transmitters in Canada/United States that
require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after several
seconds of transmission.
Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter signals to
time-out (or quit) after several seconds of transmission –
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 designed to time-out in the
same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage door or
gate motor.
1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink indicator light in view.

mitter every two seconds until HomeLink has success-
fully accepted the frequency signal. The indicator light
will flash slowly and then rapidly when fully trained.
4. Watch for the HomeLink indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may take up to 30
seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage door may
open and close while you are programming.
5. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.
NOTE: • If the indicator light stays on constantly, programmingis complete and the garage door/device should acti -
