Instruments and controls

Universal Transceiver provides a
convenient way to consolidate the functions of
up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver:

Will operate most Radio Frequency (RF)
devices such as garage doors, gates, home
and office lighting, entry door locks and se-
curity systems.

Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No
separate batteries are required. If the vehi-
cle’s battery is discharged or is discon-
nected, HomeLink
will retain all program-
ming.
Once the HomeLinkUniversal Transceiver
is programmed, retain the original trans-
mitter for future programming procedures
(for example, new vehicle purchases).
Upon sale of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink
Universal Transceiver buttons
should be erased for security purposes.
For additional information, refer to “Pro-
gramming HomeLink
” later in this sec-
tion.
WARNING

Do not use the HomeLink
Universal
Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features as required by fed-
eral safety standards. (These stan-
dards became effective for opener
models manufactured after April 1,
1982). A garage door opener which
cannot detect an object in the path of
a closing garage door and then auto-
matically stop and reverse, does not
meet current federal safety stan-
dards. 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 or close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people
and 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.
PROGRAMMING HomeLinkTo program your HomeLink
Transceiver to op-
erate a garage door, gate, or entry door opener,
home or office lighting, you need to be at the
same location as the device. Note: Garage door
openers (manufactured after 1996) have “rolling
code protection”. To program a garage door
opener equipped with “rolling code protection”;
you will need to use a ladder to get up to the
garage door opener motor to be able to access
the training button.

The rear hatch employs a spring component
which enables you to lift up the hatch by one
hand. Because of this, sometimes the rear hatch
may clatter when the lock is released, but it is not
a malfunction.
To close, push the rear hatch down securely.
The rear hatch release switch is linked with the
driver side door lock. To open the rear hatch,
unlock the driver side door.

CAUTION
Keep all parts of the top linkage clear of
obstructions, or the top latch may not be
securely locked.NOTE:

In case of low battery or low tempera-
ture, the top may temporarily stop mov-
ing during the operation. This functions
to protect the top control mechanism,
and it is not a malfunction.

If the top is opened and closed repeat-
edly in a short period of time, it may
stop moving to protect the top motor.
Wait for a few minutes before operating
the top again.
