until the lever is released. When the lever is released,
the wipers will return to the off position and automati-
cally shut off.
Front Windshield Washer Operation
Pull the windshield wiper/washer lever toward the
steering wheel to activate the washers. The wipers will
activate automatically for three cycles after the lever is
released.
CAUTION!
•Turn the windshield wipers off when driving
through an automatic car wash. Damage to the
windshield wipers may result if the wiper control
is left in any position other than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch
and allow the wipers to return to the PARK
position before turning off the engine. If the
wiper switch is left on and the wipers freeze to
the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may
occur when the vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that pre-
vents the windshield wiper blades from returning
to the off position. If the windshield wiper con-
trol is turned off and the blades cannot return to
the off position, damage to the wiper motor may
occur.

Programming A Rolling Code
For programming garage door openers that were manu-
factured after 1995:
These garage door openers can be identified by the
“LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the hang-
ing 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 in the ON/RUN position.

Canadian/Gate Operator Programming
For programming transmitters in Canada/United
States that require the transmitter signals to “time-out”
after several seconds of transmission:
Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of
transmission, which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming.
Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators
are designed to time-out in the same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the
cycling process to prevent possible overheating of the
garage door or gate motor.
1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go, place the ignition in the RUN position with the
engine ON. Make sure while programming HomeLink
with the engine ON that your vehicle is outside of your
garage, or that the garage door remains open at all
times. 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. Continue to push and hold the HomeLink button while you push and release (“cycle”) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until HomeLink has
successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indi-
cator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when
fully trained.
4. Watch for the HomeLink indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may take
up to 30 seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage
door may open and close while you are program-
ming.
5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink button and observe the indicator light.

• To program the two remaining HomeLink buttons,
repeat each step for each remaining button. DO
NOT erase the channels.
If you unplugged the garage door opener/device for
programming, plug it back in at this time.
Reprogramming A Single HomeLink Button
(Canadian/Gate Operator)
To reprogram a channel that has been previously
trained, follow these steps:
1. Cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE: For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go, place the ignition in the RUN position with the
engine ON. Make sure while programming HomeLink
with the engine ON that your vehicle is outside of your
garage, or that the garage door remains open at all
times. 2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink button until
the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds.
Do not release the button.
3. Without releasing the button, proceed with
“Canadian/Gate Operator Programming” step 2 and

Using HomeLink
To operate, switch the ignition to the ON/RUN position
and the 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. If the ignition is switched to the OFF
position, HomeLink will remain active for three min-
utes. During this time, if the vehicle is locked,
HomeLink is disabled.
Security
It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn
in your vehicle.
To do this, push and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the red indicator flashes.
