Programming the HomeLink
Transmitter
Do not use the HomeLink@ Transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
feature. This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April
1, 1982.
Keep the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as
well as for future HomeLink@ programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink@ buttons should be erased for
security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink@ Buttons”
or, for assistance, contact HomeLinkO on the internet at:
www.home1ink.com or by calling 1-800-355-351 5.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the
garage door or gate operator you are programming.
When programming a garage door, it is advised to park
outside of the garage.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed in
your hand-held transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the radio frequency. Your
vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps
to
program up to three channels:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons,
releasing only when the indicator light begins
to
flash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold down the
buttons for longer than
30 seconds and do not
repeat this step
to program a second and/or third
transmitter to the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter about
1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink@
buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the desired
button on HomeLink@ and the hand-held transmitter
button.
Do not release the buttons until Step 4
has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers may
require you to substitute Step 3 with the procedure
noted in “Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming’’ later in this section.
4. The indicator light will flash slowly at first and then
rapidly after HomeLink@ successfully receives the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter.
Release both buttons.
2-35

5. Press and hold the newly-trained HomeLink@ button
and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your device should
activate when the HomeLink@ button
is pressed
and released.
To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons,
begin with Step
2 under “Programming HomeLink@.”
Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of the
programmed channels.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds
and then turns to a constant light, continue with
Steps
6 through 8 following to complete the
programming of a rolling-code equipped device
(most commonly, a garage door opener).
6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head
unit) in the garage, locate the “Learn” or “Smart”
button. This can usually be found where the hanging
antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart”
button. The name and color
of the button may
vary by manufacturer.
You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8. 8.
Return to the
vehicle. Firmly press and hold the
programmed HomeLink@ button for two seconds,
then release. Repeat the press/hold/release
sequence a second time, and depending
on the
brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling
code device), repeat this sequence a third time
to complete the programming.
HomeLink@ should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
To program the remaining two HomeLink@ buttons,
begin with Step
2 of “Programming HomeLink@.”
Do not repeat Step 1.
Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals to “time out” or quit after several seconds
of transmission. This may not be long enough for
HomeLink@ to pick up the signal during programming.
Similarly, some
U.S. gate operators are manufactured
to “time out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator by using the
“Programming HomeLink@’ procedures (regardless
of
where you live), replace Step 3 under “Programming
HomeLink@’ with the following:
2-36
Page 116 of 386

Continue to press and hold the HomeLink@ button while
you press and release every two seconds (cycle) your
hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has been
successfully accepted by HomeLink@. The indicator
light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly. Proceed
with Step
4 under “Programming HomeLink@“ to
complete.
Using HomeLink@
Press and hold the appropriate HomeLink@ button for
at least half of a second. The indicator light will come on
while the signal is being transmitted.
Erasing HomeLinP Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons do the
following:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until
the indicator light begins to flash, after
20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than
30 seconds.
HomeLink@ is now in the train (learning) mode and can
be programmed at any time beginning with Step
2
under “Programming HomeLink@.”
Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can be
reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink@ Button” next.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink*
Button
To program a device to HomeLink@ using a HomeLink@
button previously trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink@ button.
Do not release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to flash after
20 seconds. While still holding the HomeLink@
button, proceed with Step
2 under “Programming
HomeLink@.”
Resetting Defaults
To reset HomeLink@ to default settings do the following:
1. Hold down the two outside buttons for about
20 seconds until the indicator light begins to flash.
2. Continue to hold both buttons until the HomeLink@
indicator light turns
off.
3. Release both buttons.

Driver Information System
\I
Your vehicle may have this feature. This system displays
the outside air temperature, compass direction and trip
information in the overhead console.
US/MET (United StatedMetric): The US/MET button
allows you
to switch the display between the English and
metric system.
MODE: The MODE button can be used to toggle
between three modes of operation:
OFF, COMP/TEMP
and TRIP.
COMPTTEMP (CompassTTemperature): This display
provides the outside temperature and one of eight
compass readings to indicate the direction the vehicle
is facing.
Before you turn on the ignition and move the vehicle,
the temperature indicated will be the last outside
temperature recorded with the ignition on.
If the outside
temperature
is 37°F (3°C) or lower, the display will
toggle between the word ICE and the current
temperature every eight seconds. This is a warning
to
the driver that road conditions may be icy, and that
appropriate precautions should be taken.
The compass is self-calibrating,
so it does not need to be
manually set. However,
if C (Calibration) is displayed, the
compass will need
to be calibrated. You may also place
the compass in a noncalibrated mode by pressing and
holding the US/MET and MODE buttons simultaneously
while in the COMPREMP mode. After about
10 seconds.
the compass will display
C and you can release the
buttons. Drive the vehicle in a complete 360" circle three
times at a speed of less than 5 mph
(8 km/h), and the
compass will function normally. Once the calibration
is
complete, the display will return to a compass reading.
Variance is the difference between magnetic north
and geographic north. In some areas, the difference
between the two can be great enough
to cause false
compass readings.

If this happens, follow these instructions to set the
variance for your particular location:
1. Find your location on the zone map. Record your
zone number.

2. Press and hold both the US/MET and the MODE
buttons while in the COMP/TEMP mode.
3. After five seconds, the compass will acknowledge
the variation mode by displaying the current zone
number. When it does, release both buttons.
4. Press US/MET until your zone number appears on
5. Press MODE to enter your zone number. Your

To reset the trip computer, press the MODE and
US/MET buttons simultaneously for at least two
seconds. All functions will be displayed briefly once the
system is reset. Reset can only be performed in the
AVG ECON, FUEL USED and AVG SPEED modes.
All three modes are reset simultaneously.

Audio System(s)
Notice; Before you add any sound equipment to
your vehicle
- like a tape player, CB radio, mobile
telephone or two-way radio
- be sure you can add
what you want. If you can, it’s very important to do
it
properly. Added sound equipment may interfere
with the operation of your vehicle’s engine, Delphi Electronics radio or other systems, and even damage
them. Your vehicle’s systems may interfere with the
operation
of sound equipment that has been added
improperly.
So, before adding sound equipment, check with
your dealer and be sure to check federal rules
covering mobile radio and telephone units.
Your audio system has been designed to operate easily
and to give years of listening pleasure. You will get the
most enjoyment out of it
if you acquaint yourself with it
first. Find out what your audio system can do and how to
operate all of its controls to be sure you’re getting the
most out of the advanced engineering that went into it.
