REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE
H
OMELINK® BUTTON
To reprogram a single HomeLink® button that has been
previously trained, without erasing all the channels,
proceed as follows. Be sure to determine if the new device
you want to program the HomeLink® button to has a
rolling code or a non-rolling code.

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position, without
starting the engine.

2. Push and hold the desired HomeLink® button until the HomeLink® Indicator light begins to flash after
20 seconds. Do not release the button.
3. Without releasing the button , proceed with Step 2 in
“Programming HomeLink® To A Garage Door
Opener” and follow all remaining steps.
CANADIAN/GATE OPERATOR
P
ROGRAMMING
For programming transmitters in Canada/United States
that require the transmitter signals to “time-out” after
several seconds of transmission.
Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter signals
to time-out (or quit) after several seconds of transmission
– which may not be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up
the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to time-out in
the same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage
door or gate motor.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to
8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wish to
program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light
in view.
3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink® button, while you press and release (cycle) your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until HomeLink® has
successfully accepted the frequency signal. The
indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly when
fully trained.
4. Watch for the HomeLink® indicator to change flash rates. When it changes, it is programmed. It may take
up to 30 seconds or longer in rare cases. The garage
door may open and close while you are programming.
5. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light.
NOTE:
If the indicator light stays on constantly, program -
ming is complete and the garage door/device
should activate when the HomeLink® button is
pressed.
 To program the two remaining HomeLink®
buttons, repeat each step for each remaining
button. DO NOT erase the channels.
If you unplugged the garage door opener/device for
programming, plug it back in at this time. Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button
(Canadian/Gate Operator)
To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained,
follow these steps:

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button until
the indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds.
Do not release the button.
3. Without releasing the button, proceed with “Canadian/Gate Operator Programming” step 2 and
follow all remaining steps.
SECURITY
It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn in
your vehicle.
To do this, push and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the indicator flashes. Note that all channels
will be erased. Individual channels cannot be erased.
The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is disabled when
the Vehicle Security system is active.
NOTE:The universal garage door opener only operates when the
engine is running for security reasons associated with
removable tops and doors.

LOWERING THE SOFT TOP INTO
S
UNRIDER® POSITION
Use this QR code to access your digital
experience. If the temperature is below 72°F (24°C) and/or the top
has been folded down for a period of time, the top will
appear to have shrunk when you raise it, making it difficult
to put up. This is caused by a natural contraction of the
vinyl or acrylic materials of the fabric top.
Place the vehicle in a warm area. Pull steadily on the top
fabric. The vinyl will stretch back to its original size and the
top can then be installed.
If the temperature is 41°F (5°C)
or below, do not attempt to put the top down or roll the
rear or side curtains.
WARNING!
 The fabric quarter windows and fabric top are
designed only for protection against the elements.
Do not rely on them to contain occupants within the
vehicle or to protect against injury during an acci -
dent. Remember, always wear seat belts.
 Make sure hands and fingers are clear of all pinch
points when installing and removing the soft tops.
The lift assist mechanism and side bows may cause
serious injury if fingers or hands get caught in
between.
CAUTION!
The soft top is not designed to carry any additional
loads such as roof racks, spare tires, building, hunting,
or camping supplies, and/or luggage, etc. Also, it was
not designed as a structural member of the vehicle
and, thus, cannot properly carry any additional loads
other than environmental (rain, snow, etc.).
CAUTION!
Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car
wash. Window scratches and wax buildup may result.
 Do not lower the top when the temperature is below
41°F (5°C). Damage to the top may result.
 Do not move your vehicle until the top has been
either fully attached to the windshield frame, or fully
lowered.
 Do not fully lower the top with the windows installed.
Window and top damage may occur.
 For important information on cleaning and caring for
your vehicle's fabric top
Úpage 361.
 Do not use any tools (screwdrivers, etc.) to pry or
force any of the clamps, clips, or retainers securing
the soft top. Do not force or pry the soft top frame -
work when opening or closing. Damage to the top
may result.
Failure to follow these cautions may cause interior water
damage, stains or mildew on the top material:
 It is recommended that the top be free of water prior
to opening it. Operating the top, opening a door or
lowering a window while the top is wet may allow
water to drip into the vehicle's interior.
 Careless handling and storage of the soft top may
damage the seals, causing water to leak into the
vehicle's interior.
 The soft top must be positioned properly to ensure
sealing. Improper installation can cause water to leak
into the vehicle's interior.
CAUTION!
