PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A
M
ISCELLANEOUS DEVICE
The procedure on how to program HomeLink® to
a miscellaneous device follows the same
procedure as programming to a garage door
opener

Ú
page 40. Be sure to determine if the
device has a rolling code, or non-rolling code
before beginning the programming process.

NOTE:
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) 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 Cana -
dian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed
to time-out in the same manner. The procedure
may need to be performed multiple times to
successfully pair the device to your HomeLink®
buttons.
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
H
OMELINK® BUTTON
To reprogram a single HomeLink® button that
has been previously trained, without erasing all
the channels, proceed as follows. Be sure to
determine whether the new device you want to
program the HomeLink® button to has a rolling
code, or non-rolling code.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position,
without starting the engine.
2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the HomeLink® indicator light
begins to flash after 20 seconds. Do not
release the button.
3. Without releasing the button , proceed with
Step 2 in “Programming HomeLink® To A
Garage Door Opener” and follow all
remaining steps.
CANADIAN/GATE OPERATOR
P
ROGRAMMING
For programming transmitters in Canada/United
States that require the transmitter signals to
“time-out” after several seconds of transmission:
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) 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.
WARNING!
Your motorized door or gate will open and
close while you are programming the
universal transmitter. Do not program the
transmitter if people or pets are in the path
of the door or gate.
Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or
confined area while programming the
transmitter. Exhaust gas from your vehicle
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous when inhaled and can cause you
and others to be severely injured or killed.
23_GA_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 41

It may be helpful to unplug the device during the
cycling process to prevent possible overheating
of the garage door or gate motor.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button
you wish to program while keeping the
HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Continue to push and hold the HomeLink® button while you push and release (cycle)
your hand-held transmitter every two
seconds until HomeLink® has successfully
accepted the frequency signal. The indicator
light will flash slowly and then rapidly when
fully trained.
4. Watch for the HomeLink® indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is
programmed. It may take up to 30 seconds or
longer in rare cases. The garage door may
open and close while you are programming.
5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.

NOTE:

•If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and the garage door/device should activate when the HomeLink® button is pushed.
• To program the two remaining HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the chan-
nels.
If you unplugged the garage door opener/device
for programming, plug it back in at this time. Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button
(Canadian/Gate Operator)
To reprogram a channel that has been previously
trained, follow these steps:
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.
2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink®
button until the indicator light begins to flash
after 20 seconds. Do not release the button.
3. Without releasing the button, proceed with “Canadian/Gate Operator Programming”
Step 2 and follow all remaining steps.
SECURITY
It is advised to erase all channels before you sell
or turn in your vehicle.
To do this, push and hold the two outside buttons
for 20 seconds until the indicator flashes. Note
that all channels will be erased. Individual
channels cannot be erased.

Description
The Automatic Dual Zone Climate Control System
adjusts the temperature and air distribution
independently between the driver and passenger.
The system maintains the set temperature inside
the passenger compartment and compensates
for outside temperature change.

NOTE:
The reference temperature is 72°F (22°C) for
optimal comfort management.
The automatic setting will adjust the following to
maintain comfort within the passenger
compartment:
Air temperature from the driver/front
passenger side vents
Air distribution from the driver/front passenger
side vents
Fan speed (continuous variation of the air flow)
Compressor variations (for cooling/dehumid-
ifying the air)
Air recirculation The Climate Control system can also be operated
manually by using the buttons and knobs on the
faceplate.
Manual selections will override the automatic
settings, which are stored until the AUTO button is
pushed. If the system intervenes for safety
reasons, the automatic setting will take control of
the system.
The following operations will not deactivate the
automatic (AUTO) function:
Air Recirculation activation/deactivation
A/C activation/deactivation
SYNC function activation
Rear Window Defrost activation/deactivation
When in AUTO mode, the vehicle’s internal
temperature is controlled according to the set
temperature.
The following can be manually set or adjusted:
Driver/passenger air temperature
Blower speed (continuous variation)
Air distribution (seven positions for driver and

When the A/C compressor is on, and the engine
is running, air speed cannot be lower than the
minimum speed (only one indicator light is lit).

NOTE:
When the A/C is off, the Climate Control system
can not produce air that is colder than the current
outside temperature. Under certain environ
-
mental conditions, windows could fog up rapidly,
since the air is not dehumidified.
CAUTION!
The system uses R1234yf refrigerant, which
does not pollute the environment in the event
of accidental leakage. Under no
circumstances, use R134a and R12 fluids,
which are incompatible with the components
of this system.
