Instruments and controls2-39

that lacks safety stop and reverse
features as required by federal safety
standards. (These standards became
effective for opener models manufac-
tured after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object in
the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse,
does not meet current federal safety
standards. Using a garage door opener
without these features increases the risk
of serious injury or death.
. During the programming procedure your
garage door or security gate will open
and close (if the transmitter is within
range). Make sure that people or objects
are clear of the garage door, gate, etc.
that you are programming.
. Your vehicle’s engine should be turned
off while programming the HomeLink
®
Universal Transceiver. Do not breathe
exhaust gases; they contain colorless
and odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.
PROGRAMMING HomeLink®
If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink®web site
at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515.
NOTE:
It is also recommended that a new battery
be placed in the hand-held transmitter of
the device being programmed to
HomeLink
®for quicker programming and
accurate transmission of the radio-fre-
quency.
1. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1-3 in (26-76 mm) away
from the HomeLink
®surface, keeping
the HomeLink®indicator light*1in
view.

2. Using both hands, simultaneously
press and hold the desired HomeLink®
button and handheld transmitter but-
ton. DO NOT release until the
HomeLink
®indicator light*1flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. (The rapid
flashing indicates successful program-
ming.)
NOTE:
Some devices to be programmed may
require you to replace Step 2 with the
cycling procedure noted in the “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
®for Canadian

CLEARING THE PROGRAMMED IN-
FORMATION
The following procedure clears the pro-
grammed information from both buttons.
Individual buttons cannot be cleared.
However, individual buttons can be repro-
grammed, see“Reprogramming a single
HomeLink
®button” later in this section.
To clear all programming
1. Press and hold the two outer
HomeLink®buttons until the indicator
light begins to flash in approximately
10 seconds. Do not hold for longer than
20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
HomeLink
®is now in the programming
mode and can be programmed at any time
beginning with “Programming HomeLink
®”
- Step 1.
REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
HomeLink®BUTTON
To reprogram a HomeLink®Universal
Transceiver button, complete the following.
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
®
button. Do notrelease the button. 2. The indicator light will begin to flash
after 20 seconds. Without releasing the
HomeLink
®button, proceed with “Pro-
gramming HomeLink®” - Step 1.
For questions or comments, contact
HomeLink
®at: www.homelink.com or 1-
800-355-3515.
The HomeLink
®Universal Transceiver but-
ton has now been reprogrammed. The new
device can be activated by pushing the
HomeLink
®button that was just pro-
grammed. This procedure will not affect
any other programmed HomeLink
®but-
tons.
IF YOUR VEHICLE IS STOLEN
If your vehicle is stolen, you should change
the codes of any non-rolling code device
that has been programmed into
HomeLink
®. Consult the Owner’s Manual
of each device or call the manufacturer or
retailer of those devices for additional
information.
When your vehicle is recovered, you will
need to reprogram the HomeLink

versal Transceiver with your new transmit-
ter information. FCC Notice:

WARNING
.Radio waves could adversely affect
electric medical equipment. Those who
use a pacemaker should contact the
electric medical equipment manufacturer
for the possible influences before use.
. The Intelligent Key transmits radio
waves when the buttons are pushed.
The FAA advises that the radio waves
may affect aircraft navigation and com-
munication systems. Do not operate the
Intelligent Key while on an airplane.
Make sure the buttons are not operated
unintentionally when the unit is stored
during a flight.
The Intelligent Key system can operate all
the doors and the trunk lid using the
remote controller function or pushing the
request switch on the vehicle without
taking the key out from a pocket or purse.
The operating environment and/or condi-
tions may affect the Intelligent Key system
operation.
Be sure to read the following before using
the Intelligent Key system.
CAUTION
.Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
. Never leave the Intelligent Key in the
vehicle when you leave the vehicle.
The Intelligent Key is always communicat-
ing with the vehicle as it receives radio
waves. The Intelligent Key system trans-
mits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere with the operation
of the Intelligent Key system under the
following operating conditions.
.When operating near a location where
strong radio waves are transmitted,
such as a TV tower, power station and
broadcasting station.
. When in possession of wireless equip-
ment, such as a cellular telephone,
transceiver, and CB radio.
. When the Intelligent Key is in contact
with or covered by metallic materials.
. When any type of radio wave remote
control is used nearby.
. When the Intelligent Key is placed near
an electric appliance such as a perso- nal computer.
. When the vehicle is parked near a
parking meter.
In such cases, correct the operating condi-
tions before using the Intelligent Key
function or use the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies
depending on the operating conditions,
the battery’s life is approximately 2 years.
If the battery is discharged, replace it with
a new one.
Since the Intelligent Key is continuously
receiving radio waves, if the key is left near
equipment which transmits strong radio
waves, such as signals from a TV and
personal computer, the battery life may
become shorter.
For information regarding replacement of a
battery, see “Intelligent Key battery repla-
cement” in the“8. Maintenance and do-it-
yourself” section.
For models with a steering wheel lock
mechanism: Because the steering wheel is
locked electrically, unlocking the steering
wheel with the ignition switch in the LOCK
position is impossible when the vehicle
battery is completely discharged. Pay
special attention that the vehicle battery
