WHAT IS THE GARAGE DOOR
OPENER

HomeLink Wireless Control
System

E188211

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.

HOW DOES THE GARAGE
DOOR OPENER WORK

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.

Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com or by
calling the toll-free help line at
1-800-355-3515.

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

Clearing the Garage

Door Opener

(page 143).

GARAGE DOOR OPENER
PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

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 that the garage door and

security device are free from obstruction
when you are programming. Do not program
the system with your vehicle in the garage.

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

Clearing the Garage

Door Opener

(page 143).

GARAGE DOOR OPENER
LIMITATIONS

Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to time-out (or quit)
after several seconds – which may not be
long enough for HomeLink to pick up the
signal.

U.S. gate operators time-out in the same
manner.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING:

Extended idling at high

engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage.

WARNING:

Do not park, idle or

drive your vehicle on dry grass or other
dry ground cover. The emission system
heats up the engine compartment and
exhaust system, creating the risk of fire.

WARNING:

Do not start the engine

in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic.
Always open the garage door before you
start the engine.

WARNING:

Exhaust leaks may

result in entry of harmful and potentially
lethal fumes into the passenger
compartment. If you smell exhaust
fumes inside your vehicle, have your
vehicle inspected immediately. Do not
drive if you smell exhaust fumes.

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 5 mi
(8 km) after you reconnect it. This is
because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You
can disregard any unusual driving
characteristics during this period.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the
engine.

KEYLESS STARTING

slow down, have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible.

Note:

You can crank the engine for a total

of 60 seconds without the engine starting
before the starting system temporarily
disables. The 60 seconds does not have to
be all at once. For example, if you crank the
engine three times for 20 seconds each
time, without the engine starting, you
reached the 60-second time limit. A
message appears in the information display
alerting you that you exceeded the cranking
time. You cannot attempt to start the
engine for at least 15 minutes. After 15
minutes, you are limited to a 15-second
engine cranking time. You need to wait 60
minutes before you can crank the engine for
60 seconds again.

Before starting the engine, check the

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER

(IF

EQUIPPED)

WARNING:

Failure to follow engine

block heater instructions could result in
property damage or serious personal
injury.

WARNING:

Do not use your heater

with ungrounded electrical systems or
two-pronged adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.

WARNING:

Do not fully close the

hood, or allow it to drop under its own
weight when using the engine block
heater. This could damage the power
cable and may cause an electrical short
resulting in fire, injury and property
damage.

Note:

The heater is most effective when

outdoor temperatures are below 0°F
(-18°C).

The heater acts as a starting aid by
warming the engine coolant. This allows
the climate control system to respond
quickly. The equipment includes a heater
element, installed in the engine block and
a wire harness. You can connect the
system to a grounded 120-volt AC
electrical source.

We recommend that you do the following
for a safe and correct operation:
•

Use a 16-gauge outdoor extension cord
that is product certified by
Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) or
Canadian Standards Association
(CSA). This extension cord must be
suitable for use outdoors, in cold

temperatures, and be clearly marked
Suitable for Use with Outdoor
Appliances. Do not use an indoor
extension cord outdoors. This could
result in an electric shock or become a
fire hazard.

•

Use as short an extension cord as
possible.

•

Do not use multiple extension cords.

•

Make sure that when in operation, the
extension cord plug and heater cord
plug connections are free and clear of
water. This could cause an electric
shock or fire.

•

If the block heater cord is under the
hood, Do Not remove the wiring from
its original location. Do Not close the
hood on the extension wiring.

•

Make sure your vehicle is parked in a
clean area, clear of combustibles.

•

Make sure the heater, heater cord and
extension cord are firmly connected.

•

Check for heat anywhere in the
electrical hookup once the system has
been operating for approximately 30
minutes.

•

Make sure the system is unplugged and
properly stowed before starting and
driving your vehicle. Make sure the
protective cover seals the prongs of the
block heater cord plug when not in use.

•

Make sure the heater system is
checked for proper operation before
winter.

Using the Engine Block Heater

Make sure the receptacle terminals are
clean and dry prior to use. Clean them with
a dry cloth if necessary.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING:

Do not overfill the fuel

tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank
may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray
and fire.

WARNING:

The fuel system may

be under pressure. If you hear a hissing
sound near the fuel filler inlet, do not
refuel until the sound stops. Otherwise,
fuel may spray out, which could cause
serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Fuels can cause serious

injury or death if misused or mishandled.

WARNING:

Fuel may contain

benzene, which is a cancer-causing
agent.

WARNING:

When refueling always

shut the engine off and never allow
sparks or open flames near the fuel tank
filler valve. Never smoke or use a cell
phone while refueling. Fuel vapor is
extremely hazardous under certain
conditions. Avoid inhaling excess fumes.

Follow these guidelines when refueling:
•

Extinguish all smoking materials and
any open flames before refueling your
vehicle.

•

Always switch the engine off before
refueling.

•

Automotive fuels can be harmful or
fatal if swallowed. Fuel is highly toxic
and if swallowed can cause death or
permanent injury. If fuel is swallowed
immediately call a physician, even if no
symptoms are immediately apparent.
The toxic effects of fuel may not be
apparent for hours.

•

Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling fuel
vapor can lead to eye and respiratory
tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing of
fuel vapor can cause serious illness and
permanent injury.

•

Avoid getting fuel in your eyes. If you
splash fuel in your eyes, immediately
remove contact lenses (if worn), flush
