If you have any problems, or require assistance, please
call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at
www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
To program the remaining two HomeLinkbuttons,
repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT
erase the channels.Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of
transmission – which may not be long enough for
HomeLinkto 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 overheating of the garage
door or gate motor.
If you are having difficulties programming a garage door
opener or a gate operator, replace “Programming
HomeLink” Step 3 with the following:
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLinkbutton
while you press and release - every two seconds
(“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until HomeLink
has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The
EVIC display will change from “CHANNEL # TRAIN-
ING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.”

rack system or a number of aftermarket rails that are
tailored to your life style or activities.
The optional cross rails have five specific locations iden-
tified by a feature on both the side rail and the cross rail.
Cross rails must be secured in one of the five detent
locations on the side rail to prevent movement with a
sudden stop. The cross rails must also be installed using
the correct orientation (the longer rail toward the front)
with the wind trip toward the front of the vehicle as
shown below. For improved windnoise performance
when cross rails are not in use, place them in detent
positions #1 (first detent from the front of the vehicle) and
#4 (second detent from the rear of the vehicle) as indi-
cated with a unique feature on the side rails.The grab
handles (A) on the back of the vehicle (if equipped) are
not to be used as a towing feature.
NOTE:If the rear cross rail (or any metallic object) is
placed over the satellite radio antenna (if equipped), youmay experience interruption of satellite radio reception.
For improved satellite radio reception, place the rear
cross rail in detent position #4 when not in use.
