The vehicle should be driven with the
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system on
for most driving conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the
VDC system reduces the engine output to
reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will
be reduced even if the accelerator is
depressed to the floor. If maximum en-
gine power is needed to free a stuck
vehicle, turn the VDC system off.
To turn off the VDC system, push the VDC
OFF switch. The

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
provides a convenient way to consolidate
the functions of up to three individual
hand-held transmitters into one built-in
device.
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:
.Will operate most Radio Frequency
(RF) devices such as garage doors,
gates, home and office lighting, entry
door locks and security systems.
. Is powered by your vehicle’s battery.
No separate batteries are required. If
the vehicle’s battery is discharged or is
disconnected, HomeLink® will retain
all programming.
When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the origi-
nal transmitter for future programming
procedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver buttons should be erased
for security purposes. For additional
information, refer to “Programming
HomeLink®” (P.2-54).
WARNING
. Do not use the HomeLink® Uni-
versal Transceiver with any gar-
age door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as re-
quired by federal safety stan-
dards. (These standards became
effective for opener models man-
ufactured after April 1, 1982). A
garage door opener which cannot
detect an object in the path of a
closing garage door and then
automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these fea-
tures increases the risk of serious
injury or death.
. During the programming proce-
dure your garage door or security
gate will open and close (if the
transmitter is within range). Make
sure that people or objects are
clear of the garage door, gate,
etc. that you are programming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be
turned off while programming
the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver. Do not breathe exhaust
gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide.
Carbon monoxide is dangerous. It
can cause unconsciousness or
death.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site
at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515.
NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink® for quicker
programming and accurate transmis-
sion of the radio-frequency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away
from the HomeLink® surface, keeping
the HomeLink® indicator light
in
view.

PROGRAMMING HomeLink® FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS
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 de-
signed to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator
or garage door opener by using the
“Programming HomeLink®” procedures,
replace “Programming HomeLink®” Step
2 with the following:
NOTE:
When programming a garage door
opener, etc., unplug the device during
the “cycling” process to prevent possi-
ble damage to the garage door opener
components.
Step 2: Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink®
button and the hand-held transmitter
button. During programming, your hand-
held transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting. Continue to press and hold
the desired HomeLink® button while you
press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter every two seconds until
the frequency signal has been learned.
The HomeLink® indicator light will flash
slowly and then rapidly after several
seconds upon successful programming.
DO NOT
release until the HomeLink®
indicator light flashes slowly and then
rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, both buttons may be released.
The rapid flashing indicates successful
programming.
Proceed with “Programming HomeLink®”
step 3 to complete.
Remember to plug the device back in
when programming is completed.
OPERATING THE HomeLink® UNI-
VERSAL TRANSCEIVER
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver,
after it is programmed, can be used to
activate the programmed device. To op-
erate, simply press and release the appro-
priate programmed HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver button. The amber indicator
light will illuminate while the signal is
being transmitted.
For convenience, the hand-held transmit-
ter of the device may also be used at any
time.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLESHOOT-
ING
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn
the hand-held transmitter information:
. replace the hand-held transmitter
batteries with new batteries.
. position the hand-held transmitter
with its battery area facing away from
the HomeLink® surface.
. press and hold both the HomeLink®
and hand-held transmitter buttons
without interruption.
. position the hand-held transmitter 1-3
in (26-76 mm) away from the
HomeLink® surface. Hold the transmit-
ter in that position for up to 15
seconds. If HomeLink® is not pro-
grammed within that time, try holding
the transmitter in another position -
keeping the indicator light in view at
all times.
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site
