Ensure the shift lever is fully in PARK (P) range before
starting the engine. Your Aurora has a brake-transaxle

the shift lever all the way into PARK (P) and also
release the shift lever button as you maintain brake
application. Then move the shift lever into the gear you
wish. (Press the shift lever button.) See “Shifting Out of
PARK (P)” in the Index.

stopped.
To rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow,
ice or sand without damaging your transaxle, see “If
You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud,
Ice or Snow” in the Index.
NEUTRAL (N): In this position, your engine doesn’t
connect with the wheels.
To restart when you’re
already moving, use NEUTRAL
(N) only. Also, use
’ NEUTRAL (N) when your vehicle is being towed.
I NOTICE:
Damage to your transaxle caused by shifting out
of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL

3. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button on
the
HomeLink Transmitter. Continue to hold both
buttons through Step

Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the HomeLink Transmitter flash rapidly. The
rapid flashing, which could take up to
90 seconds,
indicates that the HomeLink Transmitter has been
programmed. Release both buttons once the light
starts to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the HomeLink
Transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly
as described and that the batteries in
the hand-held transmitter are not dead. If you still cannot
program it, rotate your hand-held transmitter end over
end and try again. The HomeLink Transmitter may not
work with older garage door openers that do not meet
current Federal Consumer Safety Standards. If you
cannot program the transmitter after repeated attempts,
consult your Aurora retailer or call 1-800-355-35
15.
Be sure to keep your original hand-held transmitter in
case you need to erase and reprogram the HomeLink
Transmitter.
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, your
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or two seconds.
If you
are programming from one of these
transmitters,
the HomeLink indicator light may prompt
you to re-activate your hand-held transmitter with
a series
of double blinks. After you re-activate your hand-held
transmitter, the HomeLink light should flash rapidly. If it
flashes slowly, continue to periodically re-activate your
hand-held transmitter until the light flashes rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press the appropriate button on the HomeLink Universal
Transmitter. The red light comes
on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range of the
HomeLink Transmitter may differ from your hand-held
transmitter and from
one channel to another.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons
until the red light begins to flash.
Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be
reprogrammed using the procedure for programming the
transmitter explained earlier.
Accessories
Accessories for your HomeLink Universal Transmitter are
available from the manufacturer of
the unit. If you would
like additional information, please call 1-800-355-35 15.
