2. Hold the hand-held transmitter 2.5 to7.5 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the
HomeLink button you would like to
program while keeping the indicator
light in view.
NOTE
Depending on the hand-held
transmitter, it may be easier to do the
programming by holding it 15 to 20 cm
(6 to 7.8 in) away from the HomeLink
button.
3. Press the hand-held transmitter button continuously until the indicator light
changes from amber (flashing) to
green (on/flashing).
NOTE
Some gate operators and garage door
openers may require you to replace
this Programming Step 3 with
procedures noted in the “Gate
Operator/Canadian Programming”
section.
4. Press the HomeLink button again to check if the programming has been
completed.
If the indicator light remains on in
green, the programming is complete
and the device becomes operational.
If the indicator lig ht flashes rapidly
in green, firmly press and hold the
Homelink button and release it after
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.

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

a third time to complete the
programming process.
Press the programmed HomeLink
button and make sure that the

▼ 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. Simila
r to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate ope rators are designed
to “time-out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canad a or are having
difficulties progra mming 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 se conds and release it
repeatedly until the indicator light changes
from amber to green.
Go back to Step 4 of Programming the
HomeLink System to complete the
procedure.
▼ Operating the HomeLink System
Press the programmed HomeLink button
to operate a programmed device.
▼Reprogramming the HomeLink
system
To program a device to HomeLink using a
HomeLink button previously trained,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
button. DO NOT release the button.
2. After 20 seconds, the indicator light flashes in amber. A fter the indicator
light flashes, release the HomeLink
button.
3. Go back to Step 2 of Programming the
HomeLink System to complete the
procedure.
NOTE
If the programming has not been
completed, the system returns to the
previous programming.

▼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-w
ay 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
additional HomeLink information and
programming videos, refer to the
