Homelink®
Universal radio frequency remote
control
Applies to vehicles: with Homelink® universal radio frequency remote cont ro l
How it works
The HomeLink® universal remote control can be
programmed with the hand held transmitters of the equip ­
ment you want to activate from inside your car.
The Homelink® system is capable of operating up to three different
remote contro lled devices from inside your vehicle using the
Homelink ® universa l radio frequency remote control.
The system lear ns t he rad io frequency codes of handheld transmit ­
ters used to operate garage doors, estate gates, home or outdoor
l ighting systems, and other devices 1
l.
The original handhe ld transmitters allocated to the remote
control led devices maintain their ab ility to activate these devices
and can be sti ll be used .
The Homelink® system has a nonvolati le memory, so that all
program ming will be retained after the vehicle battery has
completely discharged or been disconnected .
Before y ou can use the Homelink® universa l remote cont rol to
operate radio -frequency remote controlled devices, you wi ll first
need to program the Ho melink® transmitter.
ll Fo r the sake of readabil ity, a ga rage door opene r is always referred to in this
descr iption.

& WARNING
• Never use the Homelin kl!!I Universal Tran smitter with any
garage door opener that does have not the s afet y stop and reverse
feature a s required by federal s afety standard s. This include s any
garage door opener m odel manufa ctured before April 1 , 19 82.
• A garage door open er whi ch cannot detect an object , sign aling
the door to stop and rever se does not meet current federal s afet y
s tandard s. Using a garage door opene r without these feature s
in creases r isk of seriou s injury or de ath.
0 Note
When you program the Homelink® system, you are wel l advised to
turn off the garage door opener. A garage door opener whic h is
continuously triggered into action during programming may over ­
strain and damage its elect ric mot or, -an o verheated motor is a fire
hazard!
[ i ] Tips
• The Homelink® Universa l Remote Control will not affect your
equipment's current safety standard.
• The radio frequencies that are authorized for the country in
which the vehicle was sold are used. These frequencies may differ
in other countries.

Programming the HomeLink ® Universal
Remote Control
The Homelink® Universal Remote Control is programmed
in two phases: inside the vehicle at the overhead keypad
and outside the vehicle at the front bumper.

For best results, the battery in your original remote control
should be new or fully charged before you start program­
ming. If your garage door opener receiver (located in the
garage) is equipped with an antenna, make sure the
antenna is hanging straight down. For newer garage door
openers utilizing a rolling code, follow the procedures
=> page 161, "Rolling code programming" .
Before programming 1. Set the parking
brake =>& .
2. Tur n the ignition on. Do not start the engine!
Phase 1: programming the overhead keypad
3. Fold the sun visor flat up against the roof liner.
4.
For first time programming only, press and hold the two
outside buttons
G) and @until the light emitting diode
(LED) @=> fig. 159 begins to flash after approximately 20
seconds. Release both buttons.
- This procedure erases the factory -set default codes and
does not have to be repeated to program additional
remote controls.
5. Press the button for the transmitting channel you wish to
use
G) ,@ or @ and keep holding this button until the
indica tor
light@ starts flashing slowly.
- You now have 5 minutes in which to copy the signal from
your remote control onto the Homelink® transmitter unit.
6. Then take the original remote control for the gate or
garage door opener to the transmitter located in the
front bumper of your
vehicle => fig. 160.

8. Hold the remote control at a d istance between 0-12 in.
(0 -30 cm) to the bumper (use the shortest distance
possible).
9. Press and hold the activation button on the remote contro l (see garage door opener operating instructions)
=> page 159, "Canadian programming".
1 0 . Watch the emergency flashers on your ve hicle. Once
programming is successfu lly completed, the emergency
flashers will flash
three tim es (after about 15-60
seconds). You can now release the button on the remote
control.
-To program the two remaining buttons, repeat steps 4 to 9
with the remote control units for the devices you wish to
operate .
The required distance between the hand held transmitter and the
Homelink ® trans mitter depends on the device whose signals you
are learning . It may require several attempts at varying distances
unt il programm ing is successful.
If the 5 minute time limit is exceeded, programming will stop imme­
diate ly . The
em erg ency fla sher s will flash one tim e to indicate that
this has occurred.
In this case, you wil l need to reprogram the system. Repeat the
process start ing with
Pha se 1 : programming the o verhead keypad.
If the emergency flashers do not flash three times (after about 15-
60 seconds), programming was not successful. In this case, repeat

What to do when the garage door op ener
cannot b e activat ed
If, after you have successfully completed programming, you
are not able to operate your garage door opener using the
Homelink® keypad, the garage door opener may be
utilizing a rolling code. In this case, additional rolling code
programming will be necessary (this also applies to any
other radio frequency remote controlled devices that have
to be programmed).

Identifying a rolling code:
-Press the button for the programmed transmitter
channel again and hold it down.
- If the light emitting
diode @=> page 160 , fig. 161 first
flashes quickly and then remains lit after 2 seconds, the
garage door opener is using a rolling code.

Rolling code programming
A rolling code is programmed in two phases: at the
garage door opener motor and inside the vehicle at the
overhead keypad.
Phase 1:
programming the garage door opener motor
1. Make sure that your vehicle is located within operat ing
range of the remote controlled garage door opener.
2. Locate the set button (teach button) on the garage door
opener motor (refer to the operating instructions for the
garage door opener).
3. Press the set button (teach button) on the garage door
opener motor.
Phase 2: programming the overhead keypad
4. Set the parking brake.
5. Turn the ignition on. Do not start the engine!
6. On the overhead keypad press the button for the previ ­
ously programmed transmitter channel.
7. Press this button a
second time in order to finish the
rolling code programming.
Controls and equip ­
ment The vehicle should be
located no further than 15 ft (5 m) from the
remote controlled garage door opener to remain within the average
signal range o f mos t remote con trolled systems.
Refer to the garage door opener operating instructions to locate the
set button (t each button) on the garage door opener motor .
After the keypad has been programmed, the g arage door opener
should recognize the radio frequency s ignal from the Homelink ®
Universal Remote Control and respond to signals from it.
[ i] Tips
Having a second person assist you makes programming of the
rolling code easier and faster . For some makes of garage door
op eners t he Homelink ® button may have to b e press ed a third time
to complete the teaching sequence. •
