HomeLink Wireless Control
System

WARNINGS

Make sure that the garage door and
security device are free from
obstruction when you are

programming. Do not program the system
with the vehicle in the garage.

Do not use the system with any
garage door opener that does not
have the safety stop and reverse

feature as required by U.S. Federal Safety
Standards (this includes any garage door
opener manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door opener which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death.

Note: Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future system
programming.

Note: We recommend that upon the sale
or lease termination of your vehicle, you
erase the programmed function buttons for
security reasons. See Erasing the Function
Button Codes later in this section.

Note: You can program a maximum of
three devices. To change or replace any of
the three devices after it has been initially
programmed, you must first erase the
current settings. See Erasing the Function
Button Codes.

The universal garage door opener replaces
the common hand-held garage door
opener with a three-button transmitter
integrated into the driver’s sun visor.

The system includes two primary features,
a garage door opener and a platform for
remote activation of devices within the
home. You can program garage doors as
well as entry gate operators, security
systems, entry door locks and home or
office lighting.

In-Vehicle Programming

This process is to program your in-vehicle
HomeLink function button with your
hand-held transmitter.

Note: The programming steps below
assume you will be programming HomeLink
that was not previously programmed. If your
HomeLink was previously programmed, you
may need to erase your HomeLink buttons.
See Erasing the Function Button Codes.

Note: Put a new battery in the hand-held
transmitter. This helps ensure quicker
training and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.

 (If Equipped)

1.

With your vehicle parked outside of the
garage, switch your ignition to the on
position, but do not start your vehicle.

2. Press and release the function button

that you would like to program.

3. Hold your hand-held garage door

transmitter 1–3 in (2–8 cm) away from
the HomeLink button you want to
program.

4. Press and hold the hand-held

transmitter button you want to
program while watching the indicator
light on HomeLink. Continue to hold
the hand-held button until the
HomeLink indicator light flashes rapidly
or is continuously on.

Note: You may need to use a different
method if you live in Canada or have
difficulties programming your gate operator
or garage door opener. See Gate Operator
/ Canadian Programming.

5. Press and hold the HomeLink button

you programmed for two seconds, then
release. You may need to do this twice
to activate the door. If your garage door
does not operate, watch the HomeLink
indicator light.

If the indicator light stays on, the
programming is complete. Your device
should activate when the HomeLink
button is pressed and released.

If the indicator light flashes rapidly, press
and hold for two seconds and release the
programmed HomeLink button. Repeat
the "press/hold/release" sequence up to
three times to complete the programming
process. If your device still does not
operate, you must program your garage
door. See Programming Your Garage
Door Opener Motor.

To program additional buttons, repeat
Steps 1 – 4.

Programming Your Garage Door
Opener Motor

Note: You may need a ladder to reach the
unit and you may need to remove the cover
or lamp lens on your garage door opener.

1.

Press the learn button on the garage
door opener motor and then you have
30 seconds to complete the next two
steps.

2. Return to your vehicle.

 (If Equipped)

3. Press and hold the function button you

want to program for 2 seconds, then
release. Repeat this step. Depending
on your brand of garage door opener,
you may need to repeat this sequence
a third time.

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.

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.

1.

Press and release, every two seconds,
your hand-held transmitter until the
HomeLink indicator light changes to a
rapidly blinking or continuously on light.

2. Release the hand-held transmitter

button.

3. Continue programing HomeLink. See

In-Vehicle Programming, Step 4.

Erasing the Function Button Codes

Note: You cannot erase individual buttons.

1.

Press and hold the outer two function
buttons simultaneously for
approximately 10 seconds until the
indicator light above the buttons
flashes rapidly.

2. When the indicator light flashes,

release the buttons. You erased the
codes for all buttons.

Reprogramming a Single Button

To program a device to a previously trained
button, follow these steps:

1.

Press and hold the desired button. Do
NOT release the button.

2. The indicator light begins to flash after

20 seconds. Without releasing the
button, follow Step 1 in the
Programming section.
