Programming A Non-Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.
1. Turn the ignition switch to 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.
3. Push and hold the HomeLink®button you want to program while you push and hold
the hand-held transmitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink®
indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink®has received the fre-
quency signal from the hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator
light changes from slow to rapid.
5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink®button and observe the indicator light. If
the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door
(or device) should activate when the HomeLink®button is pushed.
6. To program the two remaining HomeLink®buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

Spare Tire Removal
NOTE:
On seven-passenger models, fold the third-row passenger seats flat. This will provide more
space when accessing the jacking tools and when operating the winch mechanism.
1. Remove the jack-handle components 1, 2 and 3 from storage and assemble them.
NOTE:
Assemble components 2 and 3 by seating the
small ball at the end of component 2 in the
small hole at the end of component 3. This
will lock these components together. As-
semble components 1 and 2 so that the
wheel nut socket at the end of component 1
faces upward when seated on component 2.
This will make it easier to rotate the assembly
when operating the winch mechanism.
2. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the
winch drive nut located in the jack stor-
age area. Rotate the jack-handle assem-
bly counterclockwise until the spare tire
is on the ground with enough cable slack
to allow you to pull the spare tire out
from underneath the vehicle.
3. Pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle and raise it upright so the tire's
tread is on the ground.
4. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and remove it from the center of the
wheel.
Spare Tire Stowage
NOTE:
Refer to “Spare Tire Removal” for information on assembling the winch tools.
1. Place the spare tire near to the winch cable. Hold the spare upright so that the tire's
tread is on the ground and the valve stem is at the top of the wheel facing away from
the rear of the vehicle.
2. Tilt the retainer at the end of the winch cable and drop it through the center of the
wheel. Then place the spare tire with the cable and retainer underneath the vehicle.
3. Fit the assembled jack-handle over the winch drive nut. Rotate the jack-handle
assembly clockwise to raise the spare tire into the storage area. Continue to rotate the
jack-handle assembly until you hear the winch mechanism click three times. It cannot
be over tightened. Push against the tire several times to be sure it is held securely in
place.
