Home Link® Universal Transceiver (option)
Introduction
HomeLink* is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-
devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). HomeLink's sun visor-mounted transceiver,
powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your hand -held remote controls.
NOTE: For your security, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your car from
the outside.
ProCarManuals.com

If your hand -held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink Universal Transceiver but the programmed button
does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.
Press the programmed HomeLink button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the HomeLink
indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a rolling code garage door opener, follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver
button according to "Programming the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The location and color of the training button
may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: http://www.HomeLink.com
).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink button. Press and release the programmed HomeLink button a second
time to complete the training process.
4. Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.
5. The programmed button on your HomeLink Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener.
The original handheld transmitter can also be used, as desired, to operate the garage door.
The remaining two HomeLink buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in
programming the HomeLink Universal Transceiver, call toll-free 1-800- 355-3515 (Internet:
http://www.HomeLink.com
).
Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your handheld transmitters.
To operate, the key must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) or the engine must be running. Press the
programmed HomeLink button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lightning, home security system etc.
Your original hand -held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.
Erasing programmed buttons
Individual buttons cannot be erased, To erase all three programmed buttons:
1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).
2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink's
