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®
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside
of the garage before you begin program-
ming.
For 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.
To e r a s e t h e c h a n n e l s , p l a c e t h e i g n i t i o n
switch into the ON/RUN position, then
push and hold the two outside HomeLink®
buttons (I and III) for up to 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 HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. These Garage
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.
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink®
button you wish to program while keeping the HomeLink®indicator light in view.

occur for the programmed device (e.g., 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!
•Yourmotorizeddoororgatewillopenandclosewhileyouareprogrammingthe
universal transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate.
•Donotrunyourvehicleinaclosedgarageorconfinedareawhileprogrammingthe
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 INVERTER
There is a 115 Volt, 150 Watt power inverter outlet located on the left rear trim panel
immediately behind the second row left passenger seat. This outlet can power cellular
phones, electronics and other low power devices requiring power up to 150 Watts.
•Pushtheswitchlocatedinthecenterof
the instrument panel to turn the power to
the outlet on.
•Pushtheswitchagaintoturnthepower
off.
The status indicator of the AC power in-
verter indicates whether the inverter is pro-
ducing AC power.
NOTE:
The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter
will automatically shut down. Once the
electrical device has been removed from
the outlet, the inverter should automatically
reset. If the power rating exceeds approxi-
mately 170 Watts, the power inverter may
have to be reset manually. To reset the
inverter manually, unplug the device and plug it in again. To avoid overloading the circuit,
check the power ratings on electrical devices prior to using the inverter.
