two seconds have passed. Repeat
this process up to three times to
complete the programming. The
device becomes operational and
programming is complete. If the
device does not operate, go to the
next step.
5. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate
the “learn” or “smart” button. This can
usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the
motor-head unit.
6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or
“smart” button. (The name and color
of the button may vary by
manufacturer.)
NOTE
Complete the programming within 30
seconds.
7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press
and hold the Homelink button, and
then release it after two seconds have
passed. Repeat the “ press/hold/
release ” sequence a second time, and,
depending on the brand of the garage
door opener (or other rolling code
equipped device), repeat this sequence
a third time to complete the
programming process.
Press the programmed HomeLink
button and make sure that the
HomeLink System operates.

▼ Gate operator/Canadian
Programming
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.
If you live in Canada or are having
difficulties program ming a gate operator
by using the programming procedures
(regardless of where you live), replace
Step 3 of Programming the HomeLink
System with the following:
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener or
gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to
prevent possible overheating.
While the indicator light is flashing in
amber, press the button on the hand-held
transmitter for 2 seconds and release it

▼Garage Door Two-Way
Communication
The garage door two-way communication
is a function that communicates with the
garage door opener and indicates whether
the garages door is open or closed using
the indicator lights in the rear view mirror.
It can indicate the status of the garage door
within a range up-to 250 m (820 ft).
NOTE
The communication range may shorten
depending on obstructions.
Programming two-way communication
Within five seconds after programming a
new HomeLink button, both of the garage
door status indicator lights will flash
rapidly in green indicating that the garage
door two-way communication has been
established. If the garage door status
indicator lights flash, the two-way
communication programming is complete.
If the garage door status indicator lights do
not flash, the two-way communication
programming is not completed. For
