To make it work again, you must
enter a specif ic f ive-digit code with

this card in a saf e place at home. In
addition, you should write the audio
system’s serial number in this owner’s
manual.If you make a mistake entering the
code, do not start over; complete the
f ive-digit sequence, then enter the
correct code. You have ten tries to

unsuccessful in ten attempts, you
must then leave the system on for 1
hour bef ore trying again.
If you lose the card, you must obtain
the code number f rom your dealer.
To do this, you will need the audio
system’s serial number.

The HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver built into your vehicle
canbeprogrammedtooperateupto
three remote controlled devices
around your home, such as garage
doors, lighting, or home security
systems.
Bef ore programming your
HomeLink to operate a garage door
opener, conf irm that the opener has
an external entrapment protection
system, such as an ‘‘electronic eye,’’
or other saf ety and reverse stop
f eatures.
If your garage door was
manuf actured bef ore April 1, 1982,
you may not be able to program
HomeLink to operate it. These units
do not have safety features that
cause the motor to stop and reverse
it if an obstacle is detected during
closing, increasing the risk of injury. Do not use HomeLink with any
garage door opener that lacks saf ety
stop and reverse f eatures.
Units manuf actured between April 1,
1982 and January 1, 1993 may be
equipped with saf ety stop and
reverse f eatures. If your unit does
not have an external entrapment
protection system, an easy test to
conf irm the f unction and
perf ormance of the saf ety stop and
reverse f eature is to lay a 2 4
under the closing door. The door
should stop and reverse upon
contacting the piece of wood.
As an additional safety feature,
garage door openers manuf actured
af ter January 1, 1993 are required to
have external entrapment protection
systems, such as an electronic eye,
which detect an object obstructing
the door.
Refer to the safety information thatcame with your garage door opener
to test that the safety features are
f unctioning properly. If you do not
have this information, contact the
manuf acturer of the equipment.
Bef ore programming HomeLink to a
garage door or gate opener, make
sure that people and objects are out
of thewayof thedevicetoprevent
potential injury or damage.
When programming a garage door
opener, park just outside the garage.
If you just
received your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink bef ore, you should erase
any previously learned codes bef ore
training the first button. To do this,
press and hold the two outside
buttons on the HomeLink
transceiver for about 20 seconds,
until the red indicator f lashes.
Release the buttons, then proceed to
step 1.

Ensure that you use the HFL
buttons, not the NAVI buttons, to
give HFL voice commands.
To operate HFL, use the HFL Talk
and Back buttons on the left side of
the steering wheel.
When HFL is in use, the sound
comes through the vehicle’s f ront
audio system speakers. If the audio
system is in use while operating
either of the HFL buttons or making
a call, HFL overrides the audio
system. To change the volume level,
use the audio system volume knob or
the steering wheel volume controls.
The HFL microphone is on the
ceiling, between the f ront map lights
and the HomeLink buttons. On
models with navigation system, the
microphone is shared with the
navigation system.
HFL and the navigation system have
separate voice recognition systems.
When HFL is in use, a voice
command f or the navigation system
will not be recognized even if you
press the navigation Talk button. In
this case, you will hear two short
beeps, and the HFL system has no
prompt.

HFL is operated by the HFL Talk
and Back buttons on the left side of
the steering wheel. The next f ew

commands correctly.
If HFL does not recognize a
command, its response is ‘‘Pardon.’’
If it doesn’t recognize the
command it plays an appropriate
Help prompt. Response time may
vary depending on the voice
command.
To hear a list of available options
at any time, press the HFL Talk
button, wait f or the beep, and say
‘‘Hands f ree help’’ or ‘‘Help.’’When you are at the main menu,
you can hear general HFL
inf ormation such as pairing or
setting up the system. Press the
HFL Talk button, wait f or the beep,
and say ‘‘Tutorial.’’
Many commands can be spoken
together. For example, you can
say, ‘‘Dial 123-456-7891.’’
To enter a string of numbers in a
Call or Dial command, you can say
them all at once, or you can
separate them in blocks of 3, 4, 7,
10, and 11.
To skip a voice prompt, press the
