Homelink 
Universal  remote 
control 
General  information 
Applies  to  vehicles:  with  Homelink  u nive rsal  remote  con
tro l 
The HomeLink  universal  remote  control  can 
be programmed  with  hand-held  transmitters 
from  existing  equipment. 
With  Homelink,  you  can control  devices  such 
as  the  garage  door,  security systems,  house 
lights,  etc.  comfortably  from  the  inside  of you 
vehicle. 
Homelink  makes  it  possible  for you  to  replace 
three  different  remote  controls  from  devices  in your  home  with  one  universal  remote . Th is 
feature  works  for  most  garage  door  and  exte
rior  door  motor  signals.  Programming  the  in
d iv idual  remo te control  fo r your  remote  con 
trol  takes  p lace  near  the  center  of the  radiator 
grille.  There  is a  control  module  attached  at 
this  location . 
A one-t ime  programm ing  of  the  sensor  mus t 
be  performed  before  you  are  able  to  use  sys
tems  w ith  Homelink. 
A WARNING

with  any  garage  door  opener  that  does 
have  not  the  safety  stop  and  reverse  fea
ture  as  requ ired  by  federal safety  stand
ards.  Th is  includes  any  garage  door  open
er  model  manufactured  before  April  1,  1982. 
- A garage  door  opener  which  cannot  de
tect  an  object,  signaling  the  door  to  stop 
and  reverse  does  not  meet  current  feder
al safety  standards . Us ing  a  garage  doo r 
opener  witho ut  these  fea tures  increases 
risk  of serious  injury or  death. 
- For safety  reasons  never  release  the 
parking  brake  or  start  the  engine  while 
anyone  is standing  in front  of the  vehicle . 
- A garage  door  or  an  estate  gate  may 
sometimes  be  set  in motion  when  the  Homelink  remote  control  is being  pro
grammed.  If the  device  is  repeatedly  ac
tivated,  this  can  overstrain  motor  and 
damage  its  electrical  components  -an 
overheated  motor  is  a fire  hazard! 
- To avo id  possible  injuries  or  property 
damage,  please  always  make  absolutely 
certa in that  no  persons  or  objects  are  lo
cated  in the  range  of  motion  of any 
equ ipment  being  operated.
