Rolling Code Garage Door Opener Final Steps

NOTE:
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate rolling
code final step 2, after completing rolling code
final step 1.
1. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAIN”
button. This can usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to the
garage door opener motor. Firmly push and
release the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.
2. Return to the vehicle and push the programmed HomeLink® button three times
(holding the button for two seconds each
time). If the garage door opener motor oper-
ates, programming is complete.
3. Push the programmed HomeLink® button to confirm that the garage door opener motor
operates. If the garage door opener motor
does not operate, repeat the final steps for
the rolling code procedure.
Non-Rolling Code Garage Door Opener Final
Steps
1. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the HomeLink® indicator
light. If the HomeLink® indicator light stays
on constantly, programming is complete.
2. Push the programmed HomeLink® button to confirm that the garage door opener motor
operates. If the garage door opener motor
does not operate, repeat the steps from the
beginning.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A
M
ISCELLANEOUS DEVICE
The procedure on how to program HomeLink® to
a miscellaneous device follows the same
procedure as programming to a garage door
opener

Ú
page 40. Be sure to determine if the
device has a rolling code, or non-rolling code
before beginning the programming process.

NOTE:
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) 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 Cana -
dian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed
to time-out in the same manner. The procedure
may need to be performed multiple times to
successfully pair the device to your HomeLink®
buttons.
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
H
OMELINK® BUTTON
To reprogram a single HomeLink® button that
has been previously trained, without erasing all
the channels, proceed as follows. Be sure to
determine whether the new device you want to
program the HomeLink® button to has a rolling
code, or non-rolling code.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position,
without starting the engine.
2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the HomeLink® indicator light
begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not
release the button.
3. Without releasing the button , proceed with
Step 2 in “Programming HomeLink® To A
Garage Door Opener” and follow all
remaining steps.
CANADIAN/GATE OPERATOR
P
ROGRAMMING
For programming transmitters in Canada/United
States that require the transmitter signals to
“time-out” after several seconds of transmission:
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) 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.
WARNING!
Your motorized door or gate will open and
close while you are programming the
universal transmitter. Do not program the
transmitter if people or pets are in the path
of the door or gate.
Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or
confined area while programming the
transmitter. Exhaust gas from your vehicle
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous when inhaled and can cause you
and others to be severely injured or killed.

on the instrument panel and the switch will
illuminate.
If, under exceptional circumstances, the use of
the brake is required with the vehicle in motion,
keep the switch on the center console pulled as
long as the brake action is necessary.
The Brake Warning Light may turn on with the
hydraulic system temporarily unavailable; in this
case braking is controlled by the motors.The brake lights will also automatically turn on in
the same way as for normal braking with the use
of the brake pedal.
Release the switch on the center console to stop
the braking action with the vehicle in motion.
If, through this procedure, the vehicle is braked
until a speed below 1.9 mph (3 km/h) is reached
and the switch is kept pulled, the parking brake
will definitively engage.
Disengaging The EPB Manually
In order to manually release the parking brake,
the ignition should be in the ACC position. Press
the brake pedal, and then push the switch on the
center console briefly.
Noise may be heard from the rear of the vehicle,

After disengaging the Electric Park Brake, the
Brake Warning Light on the instrument panel and
the light on the switch will turn off.
If the Brake Warning Light on the instrument
panel remains on with the EPB disengaged, this
indicates a fault: in this case, contact an
authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
With the EPB failure warning light on, some
functions of the EPB are deactivated. In this
case the driver is responsible for engaging the
EPB manually to ensure the vehicle is safely
and properly parked.
WARNING!
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake
engaged, or repeated use of the parking brake
to slow the vehicle may cause serious damage
to the brake system. Be sure the parking brake
is fully disengaged before driving; failure to do
so can lead to brake failure and a collision.
WARNING!
Never use the PARK position as a substitute
for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to guard
against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
When exiting the vehicle, always turn the
ignition OFF, secure the key fob, and lock
your vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or
with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child
or others could be seriously or fatally injured.
Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the gear
selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave a vehicle
equipped with a keyless ignition system in

performed by the driver to move the vehicle
(forward gear or reverse gear). This feature can
be turned on or off in the Information and
Entertainment System.
“Safe Hold”: engages if the gear selector is not
in PARK (P) position and the driver's intention
of leaving the vehicle is detected. The EPB will
automatically engage the EPB.
SAFE HOLD
Safe Hold is a safety function that automatically
engages the EPB if the driver attempts to leave
the vehicle while the ignition is in ON/RUN.
The EPB engages automatically to prevent
vehicle movement if:
The vehicle speed is below 2 mph (3 km/h).
A transmission operating mode different from
PARK (P) is activated.
The driver's seat belt is not fastened.
The driver side door is open.
No attempts to apply pressure on the brake

side door open.

Once disabled, the function will activate again
when the vehicle speed reaches 12 mph (20 km/h)
or the ignition is cycled to OFF and then to ACC.

AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION
The vehicle is equipped with an electronically
controlled 8-speed automatic transmission
where gear shifting automatically takes place,
depending on the vehicle usage instantaneous
parameters (vehicle speed, grade, and
accelerator pedal position).
Manual gear shifting can still occur thanks to the
“sequential mode” position for the gear selector.
WARNING!
It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or
NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than
idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing
the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate
quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose
control of the vehicle and hit someone or
something. Only shift into gear when the
engine is idling normally and your foot is
