2. Push the programmed HomeLink® buttonto confirm that the garage door opener
motor operates. If the garage door opener
motor does not operate, repeat the steps
from the beginning.
Programming HomeLink® To A
Miscellaneous Device
Follow the procedure on programming Home -
Link® 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 laws require trans -
mitter 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. The
procedure may need to be performed multiple
times to successfully pair the device to your
HomeLink® buttons.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink®
Button
To reprogram a single HomeLink® button that
has been previously trained, without erasing
all the channels, follow the procedure below.
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 Programming
The programming of transmitters in Canada/
United States require the transmitter signals
to “time-out” after several seconds of trans -
mission. Canadian radio frequency laws require trans
-
mitter 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.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during
the cycling process to prevent possible over -
heating 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 Home -
Link® button you wish to program while
keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in
view.
3. Continue to press and hold the Home -
Link® button, while you press 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. Press and hold the programmed Home -
Link® button and observe the indicator
light.
WARNING!
Your motorized door or gate will open and
close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver 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 transceiver.
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.

to the O (off) position.
When the engine is stopped with the rear fog
lights on, they will be off the next time the
engine is started.
Adaptive Headlight System (AFS) — If
Equipped
This is a system combined with Xenon head -
lights (Bi-Xenon 35 W headlamp, if equipped)
which directs the headlights horizontally, and
continuously and automatically adapts them
to the driving conditions around bends or
when cornering.
The system directs the headlights to light up
the road in the best way, taking into account
the speed of the vehicle and the bend or
corner angle, as well as the speed at which the
steering wheel is turned.
The adaptive lights are automatically activated
when the vehicle is started.
