Follow these instructions to program
HomeLink ®
, reset all programming, or program
individual buttons.
NOTE In some vehicles, the ignition must be on or in
the "accessory position" before HomeLink
®
can be programmed or used. It can be a good
idea to put new batteries in the remote con-
trol being replaced by HomeLink ®
for faster
programming and better radio signal trans-
mission. The HomeLink ®
buttons should be
reset before programming.
WARNING While HomeLink
®

the door or gate during programming. When
programming a garage door opener, it is
advised to park outside of the garage. 1.
Point the remote control at the HomeLink ®
button to be programmed and hold it about
2-8 cm (1-3 inches) from the button. Do not
obstruct the HomeLink ®
indicator light.
Note: Some remote controls are more effec-
tive at programming HomeLink ®
from a dis-
tance of about 15-20 cm (6-12 inches). Try
moving the remote control closer or further
away if you are experiencing any difficulties
programming.
2.
Press and hold both the remote control but-
ton and the HomeLink ®
button to be pro-
grammed.

a second) and either flashes quickly (about
10 times a second) or glows steadily.

ming is complete. Press the programmed
button twice to activate.

door or gate, be sure no one is near the
gate or door while it is in motion.

reverse features as required by US fed-
eral safety standards (this includes any

door to stop and reverse - does not meet
current U.S. federal safety standards. For
