Transmitter, it complies with Part
15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired
operation. This device complies
with
RSS-210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this
device must accept any interference, including

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 HomeLink@ on the
internet at: www.homelink.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 ip
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.
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).

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.
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.
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:
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.
2-40

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 HomeLink@ 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
HomeLink@ is now in the train (learning) mode and can
be programmed at any time beginning with Step
2
under “Programming HomeLink@.”
30 seconds.
Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can be
reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink@ Button” next.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLinkO
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.

Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to
signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass.
It works even if your headlamps are in the automatic
position. To
use it, pull the turn signal lever toward you, then
release it.
If your headlamps are in the automatic position or on
low beam, your high-beam headlamps will turn on.
They’ll stay on
as long as you hold the lever toward you.
The high-beam indicator
on the instrument panel
cluster will come on. Release the lever
to return to

Settirn Cruise Cor+poI
If you leave your cruise control on when you’re
not using cruise, you might hit a button and go
into cruise when you don’t want to. You could
be startled and even lose control. Keep the
cruise control switch
off until you want to use
cruise control.
1. Move the cruise control switch to on.
2. Get up to the speed you want.
3. Press in the set button at the end of the lever and
release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
The
CRUISE light on the
instrument panel will
illuminate when the cruise
control is engaged.
Resuming a Set Speed
Suppose you set your cruise control at a desired speed
and then you apply the brake. This, of course,
dismgages
the cruise cor;trol. But ~OLI dcn’t need to
reset it.
Once you’re going about
25 mph (40 km/h) or more, you
can move the cruise control switch briefly from on to
resume/accelerate.
You’ll go right back up
to your chosen speed and
stay there.
If you hold the switch at resume/accelerate the vehicle
will keep going faster until you release the switch or
apply the brake.
So unless you want to go faster, don’t
hold the switch at resume/accelerate.

Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed:
Use the accelerator pedal to get to the higher
speed. Press the SET button at the end of the lever,
then release the button and the accelerator pedal.
You’ll now cruise at the higher speed.
resume/accelerate. Hold it there until you get up to
the speed you want, and then release the switch.
To increase your speed in very small amounts,
move the switch briefly to resume/accelerate.
Each time you do this, your vehicle will go about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) faster.
Move the cruise switch from on to
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
Press in the button at the end of the lever until you
reach the lower speed you want, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, briefly press
the set button. Each time you do this, you’ll go
about
1 mph (1.6 km/h) slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase your speed.
When you take your foot
off the pedal, your vehicle will
slow down to the cruise control speed you set earlier.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you may want to step
on the accelerator pedal to maintain your speed.
When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to
a lower gear to keep your speed down. Of course,
applying the brake takes you out of cruise control. Many
drivers find this to be too much trouble and don’t use
cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are four ways to turn off the cruise control:
e Step lightly on the brake pedal,
move the cruise control switch to off, or
shift the transmission to NEUTRAL (N).
If your vehicle has the Stabilitrak@feature, cruise
control will deactivate
if road conditions cause
Stabilitrak@to activate.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition, your
cruise control set speed memory is erased.
