WHAT IS THE GARAGE DOOR
OPENER
HomeLink Wireless Control
System
The universal garage door opener replaces
the common hand-held garage door
opener with a three-button transmitter
integrated into the driver
’s sun visor.
HOW DOES THE GARAGE
DOOR OPENER WORK
The system includes two primary features,
a garage door opener and a platform for
remote activation of devices within the
home. You can program garage doors as
well as entry gate operators, security
systems, entry door locks and home or
office lighting.
Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com or by
calling the toll-free help line at
1-800-355-3515.
Note: You can program a maximum of
three devices. To change or replace any of
the three devices after it has been initially
programmed, you must first erase the
current settings. See Clearing the Garage
Door Opener (page 207). GARAGE DOOR OPENER
PRECAUTIONS WARNING:
Do not use the system
with any garage door opener that does
not have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal
Safety Standards (this includes any
garage door opener manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the risk
of serious injury or death.
Note: Make sure that the garage door and
security device are free from obstruction
when you are programming. Do not program
the system with your vehicle in the garage.
Note: Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future system
programming.
Note: We recommend that upon the sale
or lease termination of your vehicle, you
erase the programmed function buttons for
security reasons. See Clearing the Garage
Door Opener
(page 207).
GARAGE DOOR OPENER
LIMITATIONS
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to time-out (or quit)
after several seconds – which may not be
long enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal.
U.S. gate operators time-out in the same
manner.
