®for quicker training and
accurate transaxle of the radio-fre-
quency signal.
• Some vehicles may require the engine
start/stop button to be turned to the
second (or "accessories") position for
programming and/or operation of
HomeLink.
• In the event that there are still pro-
gramming difficulties or questions
after following the programming steps
listed below, contact HomeLink
