GARAGE DOOR OPENER
The garage door opener (HomeLink

 and can be programmed to operate garage
doors, gates, entry doors, door locks, home lighting
systems, and security systems, etc.
(a) Programming the HomeLink
 1 Indicator light 2 Buttons
The HomeLink
 in your vehicle has 3 buttons and you can
store one program for each button.
To ensure correct programming into the HomeLink
, install a
new battery in the hand −held transmitter prior to programming. The battery side of the hand
−held transmitter must be pointed
away from the HomeLink
 during the programming process.
1. Decide which of 3 HomeLink
 buttons you want to
program.
2. Place your hand −held garage transmitter 25 to 75 mm (1 to
3 in.) away from the surface of the HomeLink
.
Keep the indicator light on the HomeLink
 in view while
programming.
3. Simultaneously press and hold the hand −held garage
transmitter button along with the selected HomeLink
 button.
4. When the indicator light on the HomeLink
 changes from
a slow to a rapid flash after 20 seconds, you can release both
buttons.
5. Test the operation of the HomeLink
 by pressing the newly
programmed button. If programming a garage door opener,
check to see if the garage door opens and closes.
If the garage door does not operate, identify if your garage
transmitter is of the “Rolling Code” type. Press and hold the
programmed HomeLink
 button. The garage door has the
rolling code feature if the indicator light (on the HomeLink)
flashes rapidly and then remains lit after 2 seconds. If your
garage transmitter is the “Rolling Code” type, proceed to the

Programming a rolling code system
If your device is “Rolling Code” equipped, it is necessary
to follow steps 1 through 4 under the heading
“Programming the HomeLink
” before proceeding with
the steps listed below.
1. Locate the “training” button on the ceiling mounted garage

press and release will complete the programming process by
opening the garage door.
The ceiling mounted garage door opener motor should now
recognize the HomeLink
 unit and be able to activate the
garage door up/down.

if the vehicle is involved in an accident.
 Before you close the moon roof, always make sure
there is nobody around the moon roof. You must also
make sure nobody places his or her head, hands and
other parts of the body in the roof opening. If
