Note:Without starting the engine,
activate the handbrake and place the
ignition in the ON position.
The following operation will delete the
manufacture’s standard codes and
does not need to be repeated during
the subsequent button programming:
Push and hold the outer buttons
(1 and 3). After about 10 seconds, the
lighted indicators will start to flash.
Release both buttons. Note:
Follow the steps below to begin
programming your remote control to
one of the HomeLink buttons:
1. Push and hold the desired
HomeLink button (1, 2 or 3).
2. When the HomeLink indicator
begins to flash slowly, move the
portable remote control one to three
inches from the HomeLink system
(keeping the programmable button
pushed down).
3. If the indicator does not begin to
flash quickly, change the distance
between the HomeLink and the
portable remote control and try the
procedure again.
4. The HomeLink indicator flashes,
first slowly and then quickly. When the
indicator starts to flash quickly, release
both buttons.
Using The Homelink System
The HomeLink system activates the
garage door or gate motor, just like the
portable remote control. The car must
be within the range of the garage door
and the ignition must be in the ON
position. Push the programmed button (1, 2 or
3). While the signal is being transmitted,
the indicator is lit and the system
(garage door, gate, etc.) will respond.
If the HomeLink system does not
operate, the original portable remote
control may be equipped with an
alternative code (refer to “Alternative
Code Synchronization”).
If necessary, the original remote control
can still be used to operate the system.
Alternative Code Synchronization
To check whether the garage door or
gate motor has an alternative code,
proceed as follows:
1. Read the garage door or gate motor
manufacturer manual.
2. The portable remote control seems
to have programmed to the HomeLink
system, but the garage door or gate
can be neither opened or closed.
3. Push the programmed button and
keep it pushed (1, 2 or 3). With an
alternative code system, the indicator
flashes briefly, and then remains off
for two seconds. This sequence is
repeated for 20 seconds.

Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run
your vehicle in the garage while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only
use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse”
feature as required by Federal safety
standards. This includes most garage door
opener models manufactured after 1982.
Do not use a garage door opener without
these safety features. Call toll-free
1-800-355-3515 or, on the Internet at
HomeLink.com for safety information or
assistance.
Note: To program Homelink using an
Alternative Code, the car must be
within range of the garage door.
Activate the handbrake and turn the
ignition to ON, without starting the
engine. Proceed as follows:
1. Locate the “Learn” or “Train” button
on the garage door or gate motor. The
color and position may vary depending
on the manufacturer (consult the
garage door or gate manual). Push the
“Learn” or “Train” button (this normally
activates the setting warning light).
2. Push the desired HomeLink button
(1, 2 or 3). When the HomeLink
indicator begins to flash slowly, move
the portable remote control one to three
inches from the HomeLink system
(keeping the programmable button
pushed down).
3. Within 30 seconds, push the
programmed key (1, 2 or 3) and release
it. Push the programmed button a
second time and release it to conclude
the operation. For some motors, the
operation will probably have to be
repeated a third time to end the setting.
The motor should now be capable of
recognizing the signal transmitted by
HomeLink and then open/close the
door or gate.
Programming A Single Key
It is possible to program another
original remote control on an already
programmed HomeLink key by
canceling the previously stored
frequency.
Warning!
Vehicle exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a dangerous gas. Do not run
your vehicle in the garage while
programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas
can cause serious injury or death.
Your motorized door or gate will open
and close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people, pets or other objects
are in the path of the door or gate. Only
use this transceiver with a garage door
opener that has a “stop and reverse”

Note:Activate the handbrake and
place the ignition to ON without starting
the engine.
Proceed as follows:
1. Push the desired HomeLink button
and keep it pushed (1, 2 or 3). Do not
release the button until the last
operation has been performed.
2. When the HomeLink indicator
begins to flash slowly, move the
portable remote control 1 to 3 inches
from the system (keeping the
programmable button pressed down).
If the indicator does not begin to flash
quickly, change the distance between
the HomeLink and the portable remote
control and try the procedure again.
The HomeLink indicator flashes, first
slowly and then quickly. When the
indicator starts to flash quickly, release
both buttons on the remote control.
The system previously programmed to
HomeLink has now been deleted and
the new system is ready to use. This
does not affect the other two HomeLink
buttons in any way. Deleting Programmed Keys
It is recommended to delete HomeLink
programming before selling the car.
All three keys are deleted simultaneously.
Proceed as follows:
1. Push and hold the outer buttons
(1 and 3). After about 10 seconds, the
indicator will start to flash.
2. Release both keys.

Red Warning Lights
Warning LightWhat It Means What To Do
INSUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID/ELECTRIC PARK BRAKE
ON
This light monitors various brake functions, including
brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the
brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking
brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that
there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system
reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been
disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the
master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the
Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system. In this case, the light will remain on until the
condition has been corrected. If the problem is related
to the Brake Booster, the ABS pump will run when
applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be
felt during each stop.For low brake fluid level, go to an authorized dealer to
have the system checked as soon as possible.
Release the electric park brake, then check that the
warning light has switched off.
If the warning light stays on, contact an authorized
dealer.
ELECTRONIC BRAKING FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
FAILURE
The simultaneous switching on of the BRAKE (red) and
(amber) warning lights with the engine on indicates
either a failure of the EBD system or that the system is
not available. In this case, the rear wheels may suddenly
lock and the vehicle may swerve when braking abruptly. Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized dealer to
have the system inspected immediately.

Warning!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by the switching on of the icon on the instrument panel. In this case, the warning light may not
indicate any faults with the restraint systems. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system checked immediately.
If the warning light does not switch on when the ignition device is moved to ON or if it stays on when driving (together with the message on
the display), there might be a fault in the restraint systems; in this case, the air bags or pretensioners may not deploy in the event of an
accident or, in a lower number of cases, they could deploy erroneously. Before proceeding, contact an authorized dealer to have the system
checked immediately.
Caution!
If the symbol switches on when driving, stop the vehicle and the engine immediately.
