FIAT 124 SPIDER 2017 2.G Repair Manual

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.
Pre-Programming The
System
Note:It is recommended that a new
battery be placed in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being
programmed to HomeLink for quicker
training and accurate transmission of
the radio-frequency signal.
Proceed as follows:
1. Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device you
would like to program.
2. Disconnect the power to the device.
Programming The
System
Note: When programming a garage
door opener or a gate, disconnect the
power to these devices before
performing programming. Continuous
operation of the devices could damage
the motor. The HomeLink system provides three
buttons which can be individually
selected and programmed using the
transmitters for current, on-market
devices as follows:
1. Disconnect power to the device
being programmed.
2. Position the end of your handheld
transmitter one to three inches (2.5 -
7.5 cm ) away from the HomeLink
button you wish to program while
keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both
the chosen HomeLink and hand-held
transmitter buttons.
Do not release
the buttons until step four has been
completed 4. After the HomeLink indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light, release both the
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
5. Connect power to the device being
programmed.
6. Firmly press and hold the
programmed HomeLink button for five
seconds, and then release it. Perform
this operation two times to activate the
door or gate. If the door or gate does
not activate, press and hold the
just-trained HomeLink button and
observe the indicator light. If the
indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your
device should activate when the
HomeLink button is pressed and
released;
Note:
To program the remaining two
HomeLink buttons, begin with
“Programming” - step one.
7. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a
constant light, continue with
“Programming” steps (see below) to
complete the programming of a rolling
code equipped device (most commonly
a garage door opener).

8. At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate
the “learn” or “smart” button. This can
usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the
motorhead unit.
9. Firmly press and release the “learn”
or “smart” button (the name and color
of the button may vary by
manufacturer).
Note:Complete the programming
within 30 seconds.
10. Return to the vehicle and firmly
press, hold for two seconds and
release the programmed HomeLink
button. Repeat the “ press/hold/
release” sequence a second time, and,
depending on the brand of the garage
door opener (or other rolling code
equipped device), repeat this sequence
a third time to complete the
programming process. HomeLink
should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
Note:
To program the remaining two
HomeLink buttons, begin with
“Programming” - step one.
For questions or comments,
please contact HomeLink at
www.homelink.com or
1-800-355-3515 .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.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator
by using the “Programming”
procedures (regardless of where you
live), replace “Programming HomeLink”
step three with the following:
Note:If programming a garage door
opener or gate operator, it is advised to
unplug the device during the “cycling”
process to prevent possible
overheating.
1. Continue to press and hold the
HomeLink button while you press and
release -every two seconds (“cycle”)
your hand-held transmitter until the
frequency signal has successfully been
accepted by HomeLink (the indicator
light will flash slowly and then rapidly).
2. Proceed with the “Programming”
steps to complete.
Operating The System
Press the programmed HomeLink
button to operate a programmed
device.
The code will continue being
transmitted for a maximum of
20 seconds.
Reprogramming The
System
To program a device to HomeLink using
a HomeLink button previously trained,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired
HomeLink button. DO NOTrelease the
button;
2. The indicator light will begin to flash
after 20 seconds. Without releasing the
HomeLink button, proceed with
“Programming” - step one.
Erasing Programmed
Homelink Buttons
To erase the existing programming from
all three operating channels, press and
hold the two outside buttons 1 and
3 on the auto-dimming mirror until the
HomeLink indicator light begins to flash
after approximately 10 seconds.
Verify that the programming has been
erased when you resell the vehicle.
