HomeLink® Universal Transmitter

DANGER
20 mm button cells and other lithium batteries will cause seri-
ous personal injury and even death within a short time if swal-
lowed.
Always keep hand-held remote control devices with batteries,
spare batteries, as well as dead button cell and larger 20 mm
batteries out of the reach of children.
Get medical attention immediately if you suspect that a bat-
tery has been swallowed.
WARNING
Improper use of the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter can
cause serious or even fatal personal injury.
Garage doors operate with enough force to cause serious
personal injury.
Never let anyone get in the way of a garage door when it is
opening or closing.
When programming the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter,
you may be operating a garage door or estate gate. Always
make sure that people and objects are out of the way to help
prevent serious personal injury or property damage.
When operating the “training” button on a garage door open-
er with a rolling code, you will need to stand on a ladder or
step-stool. Always take extra precautions to prevent falls and
serious injury.
Never use the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter with any gar-
age door opener that does not have the safety stop-and-reverse
feature, as required by federal safety standards. This includes
any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1,
1982.
A garage door opener that cannot detect an object, signaling
the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious injury or death.
Follow the installation manual and the included safety infor-
mation from the manufacturer when using the remote-
controlled garage door opener or electrical drive.

Programming the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter

Fig. 41 In the driver side sun visor: The remote control and buttons
for the HomeLink Universal Transmitter.

Fig. 42 To program: Simultaneously press the buttons for the
HomeLink Universal Transmitter and the remote control.

The buttons 1 , 2 , and 3 on the keypad in the sun visor can operate
up to 3 separate devices (for example, a gate and garage door,
house alarm or lighting system).

Please carry out each step only in the order specified:
1. For first time programming only: Press and hold the two
outer HomeLink buttons 1 and 3 at the same time for about 20
seconds, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light
above button 2 begins to flash.
This step deletes any old settings. Do not perform this step
when programming the additional HomeLink buttons.
2. Position the hand-held transmitter for your remote control de-
vice 1-3 inches (25-75 mm) away from the HomeLink keypad
on the driver side sun visor, keeping the HomeLink indicator
light in view, as shown ⇒ fig. 41.
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the
HomeLink button you want to program ( 1 , 2 , or 3 ) and the
hand-held transmitter button, as shown ⇒ fig. 42. Do not re-
lease the buttons until the HomeLink indicator light flash-
es slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes
rapidly, release both buttons. The rapid flashing indicates suc-
cessful programming.
4.
Press and hold the programmed HomeLink button and watch
the indicator light.
If the indicator light comes on and does not flash, programming
is complete and your garage door opener or other device
should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and re-
leased.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then stays
on, proceed with the following programming instructions for a
rolling code device. A second person may make the following
steps quicker and easier. Please use a ladder or other device.
Do not stand on your vehicle to perform the next steps ⇒  in
Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transmitter

Please carry out each step only in the order specified:

unit. If you cannot locate the “training” button, refer to the gar-
age door opener’s user manual.
6. Press and release the “training” button.
Once the button is pressed, you have 30 seconds to initi-

Universal Transmitter on the sun visor keypad to control other devic-
es.
Deleting programming for all buttons

angles to the receiver.
Garage door or
electrical drive not

requirements and may have
to be replaced.
Incorrect
programming.
Reprogram the garage door
opener.

Adjusting the seating position

WARNING
Improper seating positions increase the risk of severe or fatal
injuries in a crash or other accidents, especially when the air-
bag deploys.
All occupants must sit properly and be properly restrained at
all times.
Never let more people ride in the vehicle than there are seat-
ing positions with safety belts available.
Always secure children in the vehicle with an approved and
suitable restraint system appropriate for their age, weight, and
height
Always keep your feet on the floor in front of the seat. Never
rest them on the seat, instrument panel, out of the window, etc.
The airbag system and safety belt will not be able to protect
you properly and can even increase the risk of injury in a crash.
