passenger sensing system, resulting in
serious injury or death in the event of a
crash. Always sit upright against your
seat back, with your feet on the floor.

WARNING:

Do not recline the seat

backrest too far as this can cause the
occupant to slide under the seatbelt,
resulting in personal injury in the event
of a crash.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER
INTRODUCTION

HomeLink Wireless Control
System

The universal garage door opener replaces
the common handheld garage door opener
with a three-button transmitter integrated
into the driver-side sun visor.

E188211

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 assistance can be found online
at

www.homelink.com/Ford

or by calling

the toll-free help line at 1-800-355-3515.

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.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER
PRECAUTIONS AND
FREQUENCIES

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.

FCC and RSS-210 Industry Canada
Compliance

WARNING:

Changes or

modifications not expressively approved
by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment. The term "IC:" before the
radio certification number only signifies
that Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.

This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry
Canada. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Note:

You can program a maximum of

three devices. To change or replace any of
the three devices after they have been
initially programmed, you must either clear
all codes, or reprogram each individual
button.

Note:

We recommend that upon the sale

or lease termination of your vehicle, you
erase the programmed function buttons for
security reasons.

Reprogramming the Garage Door
Opener

If a button on your garage door opener has
already been programmed, you can
override it. To program a device to a
previously trained button:

Press and hold the desired button for
approximately 20 seconds until the

Programming the Garage Door
Opener to your Gate Opener Motor

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 that you
unplug the device during the

cycling

process

to prevent possible overheating.

Press and release your handheld
transmitter,

every two seconds

, until

the HomeLink indicator flashes rapidly
or is continuously on.
