most outside position.
WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fog-
ging up

ture of the outside air and that of the
windshield can cause the outer surface
of the windshield to fog up, blocking
your vision.
●Do not place anythi ng on the instru-
ment panel which may cover the air
outlets. Otherwise, air flow may be
obstructed, preventing the windshield
defoggers from defogging.

faces when the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are on.
A

■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
mirror, 1 to 3 in. (25 to 75 mm)
from the HomeLink
® buttons.
Keep the HomeLink® indicator light in
view while programming.
3 Program a device.
Programming a device other than
an entry gate (for U.S.A. owners)

WARNING
■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 ga rage door that can-
not detect an interfering object. A door
or device without these features
increases the risk of death or serious
injury.
■When operating or programming
HomeLink®
Never allow a child to operate or play
with the HomeLink® buttons.
