TABLE OF CONTENTS

Flashing Lights With Lock• The turn signal lights flashing, when the doors are locked or unlocked, feature can be turned on or off. To turn this feature on or off:
• Press and hold the UNLOCK button for at least 4 seconds, but no longer than 10 seconds. Then, press and hold the LOCK button while still holding the
UNLOCK button.
• Release both buttons at the same time.
UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR OPENER
(HomeLink
®)
• HomeLink®replaces up to three hand-held transmitters that operate devices such
as garage door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security systems. The
HomeLink
®unit is powered by your vehicles 12 Volt battery.
• The HomeLink
®buttons that are located in the overhead console or sunvisor
designate the three different HomeLink®channels.
• The HomeLink
®indicator is located above the center button.
Before You Begin Programming HomeLink®
• Be sure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage before you begin
programming.
• For more efficient programming and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal it is
recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device that is being programmed to
the HomeLink
®system.
• Erase all channels before you begin programming. To erase the channels, place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position, then press and hold the two outside
HomeLink
®buttons (I and III) for up 20 seconds or until the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
• Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink
®for the
first time. Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
• If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1–800–355– 3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
• For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. TheseGarage Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located
where the hanging antenna is attached to the Garage Door Opener. It is NOT the
button that is normally used to open and close the door. The name and color of the
button may vary by manufacturer.
• Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
ELECTRONICS

• Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®indicator light in view.
• Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink
®button you want to program
and the hand-held transmitter button.
• Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The Homelink
®
indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after Homelink®has received the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the
indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
• At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the garage door opener motor. Firmly press and release the “LEARN”
or “TRAINING” button.
NOTE: You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the LEARN button
has been pressed.
• Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLink
®button twice (holding
the button for two seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates,
programming is complete.
NOTE: If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds)
to complete the training.
• To program the remaining two HomeLink
®buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
Programming A Non-Rolling Code
• For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
• Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink
®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®indicator light in view.
• Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink
®button you want to program
and the hand-held transmitter button.
• Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The Homelink
®
indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after Homelink®has received the
frequency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the
indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
• Press and hold the programmed HomeLink
®button and observe the indicator light.
NOTE:
• If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door (or device) should activate when the HomeLink
®button is pressed.
• To program the two remaining HomeLink®buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

Using HomeLink®
• To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink®button. Activation will
now occur for the programmed device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held
transmitter of the device may also be used at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are
in the path of the door or gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming the transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon
Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous when inhaled and can cause you and others to be severely injured
or killed.
POWER OUTLET
• There are two 12 Volt electrical outletson this vehicle.
• The instrument panel power outlet, located below the climate control
knobs, has power available only when
the ignition is ON. This power outlet
will also operate a conventional cigar
lighter unit.
• There is also a power outlet located on the inside of the center console. This power outlet is powered directly from the battery (power available at all times). Items
plugged into this power outlet may discharge the battery and/or prevent the engine
from starting.
