If you are training HomeLink to
operate a garage door or gate, you
should unplug the motor for that
devi ce during training. Repeatedly
pressing the remote control button
could burn out the motor. They
do not have the safety feature
that causes the motor to stop and
reverse if an obstacle is detected
during closing, increasing the risk of
injury.
HomeLink stores the code in a
permanent memory. There should
be no need to retrain HomeLink if
your vehicle’s battery goes dead or is
disconnected. If your garage door
opener was manufactured before
April 1982, you may not be able to
program HomeLink to operate it.
The
HomeLinkuniversal
transceiver built into your vehicle
canbeprogrammedtooperateup to
three remotely controlled devices
around your home, such as garage
doors, lighting, or home security
systems.
For quick and accurate training,
make sure the remote control
transmitter for the device (garage
door, automatic gate, security
system, etc.) has a fresh battery. If
you just
receiv ed your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink before, you should erase
any previously learned codes before
training the first button.
If you are training the second or
third buttons, go directly to step 1.
Unplug the garage door opener
motor from the electrical outlet.
Holdtheendofthegaragedoor
opener remote 2 to 5 inches from
HomeLink.Makesureyouarenot
blocking your view of the red
indicator in HomeLink.
Always
refer to the operating
instructions and safety information
that came with your garage door
opener or other equipment you
intend to operate with HomeLink. If
you do not have this information,
contact the manuf acturer of the
equipment. Todothis,pressandholdthetwo
outside buttons on the HomeLink
transceiver for about 20 seconds,
until the red indicator f lashes.
Release the buttons, then go to step

Plug in the garage door opener
motor, then test the HomeLink
button by pushing it for about 1 second.
If the button works,
programming is complete.
If the button does not work go
to step 6.
Press and hold the remote
transmitter button and one of the
HomeLink buttons at the same
time. If the red indicator in HomeLink
begins to flash slowly at first,
then rapidly, release both
buttons, and go to step 5. If the red indicator in HomeLink
continues to flash slowly (does
not flash rapidly), your remote
transmitter may stop
transmitting after a short time.
Go to step 4.
Press and hold the remote
transmitter button and one of the
HomeLink buttons at the same
time. While continuing to hold the
HomeLink button, press and
release the remote transmitter
button every 2 seconds. If the red indicator in HomeLink
begins to flash slowly at first,
then rapidly, release both
buttons, and go to step 5.
If the red indicator in HomeLink
continues to flash slowly (does
not begin to fl ash rapidly),
repeat steps 2 thru 4. Repeat these steps to train the
other two HomeLink buttons to
operate any other compatible
remotely controlled d
evices
around your home (lighting,
automatic gate, security system,
etc.). If
the indicator flashes rapidly
for 2 seconds then stays on, you
have a rolling code transmitter:
Go to ‘‘Training with a Rolling
Code System’’ (see page ). If the indicator stays on or
flashes slowly, repeat steps 2
thru 5.
PushandholdtheHomeLink
button f or a f ew seconds, then

For security purposes, newer garage
door opening systems use a ‘‘rolling’’
or variable code. Information from
the remote control and the garage
door opener are needed bef ore
HomeLink can operate the garage
door opener.
The ‘‘Training HomeLink’’
procedure trains HomeLink to the
proper garage door opener code.
The f ollowing procedure
synchronizes HomeLink to the
garage door opener so it sends and
receives the correct codes.Make sure you have properly
completed the ‘‘Training
HomeLink’’ procedure. Press and hold the button on
HomeLink f or 3 to 4 seconds.
Press and hold the HomeLink
button again f or 3 to 4 seconds.

indicator on the garage door
opener unit. (Some systems may
require you to press the button up
to three times.)
Press the HomeLink button again.
It should operate the garage door.
Find the ‘‘training’’ button on your
garage door opener unit. The
location will vary, depending on
the manufacturer. Press the training button on the
garage door opener unit until the
indicator next to the button comes
on. The indicator may blink, or

the parking brake is set f irmly, or
your vehicle may roll if it is parked
on an incline.
If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, set the parking brake
bef ore you put the transmission in
Park. This keeps the vehicle f rom
moving and putting pressure on the
parking mechanism in the
transmission.If the vehicle is f acing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the
curb. If you have a manual
transmission, put it in f irst gear.
If the vehicle is f acing downhill,
turn the front wheels toward the
curb. If you have a manual
transmission, put it in reverse gear.
Make sure the parking brake is
f ully released bef ore driving away.
Driving with the parking brake
partially set can overheat or
damage the rear brakes.
Make sure the moonroof (if
equipped) and the windows are
closed.
Turn of f the lights.
Place any packages, valuables, etc.,
in the trunk or take them with you.

Towing can require a variety of
equipment, depending on the size of
your trailer, how it will be used, how
much load you are towing, and
where you tow.
Discuss your needs with your trailer
sales or rental agency, and f ollow the
guidelines in this section. Also make
sure that all equipment is properly
installed and maintained, and that it
meets f ederal, state, province, and
local regulations.
Any hitch used on your vehicle must
be properly bolted to the underbody.Always use saf ety chains when you
tow a trailer. Make sure the chains
are secured to the trailer and hitch,
and that they cross under the tongue
and can catch the trailer if it
becomes unhitched. Leave enough
slack to allow the trailer to turn
corners easily, but do not let the
chains drag on the ground.
Seeyourtrailerdealerformore
inf ormation on installing electric
brakes.
Trailer lights and equipment must
comply with f ederal, state, province,
and local regulations. Check the
requirements f or the areas where
you plan to tow, and use only
equipment designed f or your vehicle.
Since lighting and wiring vary by
trailer type and brand, you should
have a qualif ied technician install a
suitable connector between the
vehicle and the trailer. Improper
equipment or installation can cause
damage to your vehicle’s electrical
system and af f ect your vehicle
warranty.
Honda requires that any trailer with
a total weight of 1,000 lbs (455 kg) or
more be equipped with its own
electric or surge-type brakes.
If you choose electric brakes, be
sure they are electrically actuated.
Do not attempt to tap into your
vehicle’s hydraulic system. No
matter how successf ul it may seem,
any attempt to attach trailer brakes
to your vehicle’s hydraulic system
will lower braking ef f ectiveness and
create a potential hazard.
