opener, it is advised to park the
vehicle outside of the garage.2. It is recommended that a new battery
be placed in the handheld transmitter
of the device being programmed to
HomeLink for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency signal.
3. Place the ignition switch to the ACC
(Accessory) position for programming
of HomeLink.

Convenience Features
4) Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter remote signals to “time-
out” (or quit) after a couple seconds of
transmission, which may not be long
enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal
during programming.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator
or garage door opener by using the
programming procedures, replace
“Programming a New HomeLink Button”
step 3 with the following:
While the HomeLink indicator light S is
flashing orange, press and release (“cycle”)
your device’s handheld remote every two
seconds until the HomeLink indicator light
S changes from orange to green. You may
now release the hand-held remote button.
Then proceed with “Programming a New
HomeLink Button” step 4.2SHUDWLQJ+RPH/LQN®
 2SHUDWLQJ+RPH/LQNp
ORS052307N
1. Press and release the desired
programmed HomeLink button (M, N
or O).
Information
The HomeLink indicator S should
light green, solid or flashing, and your
programmed device should operate.
If your device does not operate, the
HomeLink programming was not
successful, and you’ll need to reprogram
the button.
