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
Úpage 130.
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 trans -
mission, 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. 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.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage
door or gate motor.

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™, place
the ignition in the RUN position. Make sure while
programming HomeLink® with the engine on that your
vehicle is outside of your garage, or that the garage door
remains open at all times.
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.

Overhead Light Timing
On certain models, to assist getting in and out of the
vehicle at night or in poorly-lit areas, two timed modes
have been provided.
Timing While Getting Into The Vehicle
The overhead lights turn on according to the following
modes:
Will illuminate for approximately three minutes when
the doors are unlocked.
 Will illuminate for approximately three minutes when
one of the doors is opened.
 Will illuminate for approximately 27 seconds when
each individual door is closed and switch off simultane -
ously when the doors are locked.
Timing is interrupted when the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position.
Three Modes Are Available For Turning Off Overhead
Lighting:
 When all doors are closed after entering the vehicle,
the three-minute timer will stop and a seconds timer
will start for the interior lights. This timing will stop
when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN position.
 When doors are locked (either with key fob or with the
emergency key inserted in driver side door), the over -
head light turns off.
 The interior lights will turn off after 15 minutes to
preserve the battery. Timing While Getting Out Of The Vehicle
After placing the ignition in the OFF position, the overhead
lights will turn on as follows:

For a few seconds after the engine stops.
 For approximately three minutes when one of the doors
is opened.
 For several seconds when the last door is closed.
The timing stops automatically when the doors are locked.
Rear Overhead Light
The rear overhead lights are activated or deactivated by
on/off switches located on the front overhead console or
within the rear overhead lights themselves.

Rear Overhead Light On/Off Switches

The light turns on when a door is opened.
NOTE:The light will turn off automatically after a few minutes if a
door is left open. To turn it on again, open another door or
close and reopen the same door.
Instrument Panel Dimmer Control
The instrument panel dimmer control is part of the
headlight switch and is located on the driver’s side of the
instrument panel.

Your vehicle may also be equipped with a power outlet on
the back of the center console.

Rear Center Console Power Outlet — If Equipped

Power outlets labeled with a key symbol are powered
when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position.
WIRELESS CHARGING PAD —
I
F EQUIPPED

Wireless Charging Pad

Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi® wireless
charging pad located below the center stack, within the
storage compartment. This charging pad is designed to
wirelessly charge your Qi
® enabled mobile phone. Qi® is a
standard that allows wireless charging of your mobile
phone.
Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi
® wireless
charging. If the phone is not equipped with Qi® wireless
charging functionality, an aftermarket sleeve or a
specialized back plate can be purchased from your mobile
phone provider or a local electronics retailer. Please see
your phone’s Owner’s Manual for further information.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
 Only devices designed for use in this type of outlet
should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
 Do not touch with wet hands.
 Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.
 If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
CAUTION!
Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs only.
Do not insert any other object in the power outlets as
this will damage the outlet and blow the fuse.
Improper use of the power outlet can cause damage
not covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
 Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power
from the vehicle's battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle's battery will discharge suffi -
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
 Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these intermit -
tently and with greater caution.
 After the use of high power draw accessories, or long
periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces -
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the generator to
recharge the vehicle's battery.

The wireless charging pad is equipped with an anti-slip
mat to hold your mobile phone in place, and an LED
indicator light.
Place the device inside the prepared area delimited in the
mat as shown in the image. Incorrect positioning will
prevent the phone from charging.

Correct Phone Position

LED Indicator Status:
No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a device.
Device may not be compatible with the Qi
® standard.
 Blue Light: Device is detected and is charging.
 Red Light/Flashing: Internal error, or foreign object is
detected.
 Green Light: Device has completed battery charging
(if device is equipped to transmit this information). Important Notes Regarding This Vehicle’s Wireless
Charging Pad:

The presence of the NFC function active on a smart -
phone could signal malfunction anomalies.
 The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position in order
for the phone to charge.
 To avoid interference with the key fob search, the wire -
less charging pad will stop charging when any door is
opened.
 Be sure to place the mobile device correctly (display
facing upward, and phone not covering the LED) on the
wireless charging pad.
 Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone is
connected to a wired charger.
 The phone’s protective case must be removed when
placed on the wireless charging pad.
 iPhone
® 12 (including iPod®) is equipped with soft -
ware to protect the device from overheating. When the
software is active, the rate of charge is slowed down to
protect the device.
 Phones must always be placed on the wireless
charging pad within the outline shown on the pad so
that its charging parts connect with the charging coils
of the system. Movement of the phone during charging
may prevent or slow the rate of charge. 
Having multiple applications open on the phone while
charging will reduce the charging efficiency, and may
even shut down an application that is actively running
(i.e. Apple CarPlay
®). This may also cause the phone to
overheat.
 Wireless chargers may implement certain methods to
prevent the phone from overheating during charging
such as slowing down the rate of charge. In certain
instances, the device may shut down for a brief period
of time (when the device reaches a certain tempera -
ture). If this happens, it does not mean there is a fault
with the wireless charging pad. This may just be a
protective measure to prevent damage to the phone.
 The use of multiple wireless functions at the same time
(wireless charging, Apple CarPlay
®, Android Auto™)
could cause the device to overheat, resulting in limita -
tion of the functions or it turning off. In this case, it is
recommended to connect the system using t
he USB port.
 Do not place the key fob or any other type of metal/
magnetized object inside the mobile phone housing or
near the wireless charging pad.
CAUTION!
The key fob should not be placed on the charging pad
or within 6 inches (15 cm) of it. Doing so can cause
excessive heat buildup and damage to the fob. Placing
the fob in close proximity of the charging pad blocks the
fob from being detected by the vehicle and prevents the
vehicle from starting.
