Preventing Inadvertent Locking Of Passive Entry
Key Fob In Vehicle:
To minimize the possibility of unintentionally
locking a Passive Entry key fob inside your
vehicle, the Passive Entry system is equipped
with an automatic door unlock feature which
will function if the ignition switch is in the
OFF position.
If one of the vehicle doors is open and the
door panel switch is used to lock the vehicle,
once all open doors have been closed the
vehicle checks the inside and outside of the
vehicle for any valid Passive Entry key fobs. If
one of the vehicle's Passive Entry key fobs is
detected inside the vehicle, and no other
valid Passive Entry key fobs are detected
outside the vehicle, the Passive Entry System
automatically unlocks all vehicle doors and
chirps the horn three times (on the third
attempt ALL doors will lock and the Passive
Entry key fob can be locked in the vehicle).
To Lock The Vehicle’s Doors:
With one of the vehicle’s Passive Entry key
fobs within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the driver or
passenger front door handles, push the door
handle lock button to lock all doors.Do NOT grab the door handle when pushing
the door handle lock button. This could un-
lock the door(s).NOTE:
• After pushing the door handle lock button,
you must wait two seconds before you can
lock or unlock the doors, using either Pas-
sive Entry door handle. This is done to allow
you to check if the vehicle is locked by
pulling the door handle, without the vehicle
reacting and unlocking.
• The Passive Entry system will not operate if the key fob battery is dead.
The vehicle doors can also be locked by using
the key fob lock button or the lock button
located on the vehicle’s interior door panel.

The distance the driver’s seat moves depends
on where you have the driver’s seat positioned
when you remove the key fob from the igni-
tion (or change the ignition to OFF, for ve-
hicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go). • When you remove the key fob from the
ignition (or change the ignition to OFF, for
vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go), the driver’s seat will move about

vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter-N-
Go), the driver’s seat will move to a position
0.3 inches (7.7 mm) forward of the rear
stop if the driver’s seat position is between
0.9 inches and 2.7 inches (22.7 mm and
67.7 mm) forward of the rear stop. The seat
will return to its previously set position
when you place the ignition to the ACC or
RUN position.
• The Easy Entry/Easy Exit feature is disabled when the driver’s seat position is less than
0.9 inches (22.7 mm) forward of the rear
stop. At this position, there is no benefit to
the driver by moving the seat for Easy Exit
or Easy Entry.

Erasing All The HomeLink
Channels
To erase the channels, follow this procedure:
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUNposition.
NOTE:
For vehicle’s equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go, place the ignition in the RUN
position with the Engine ON. Make sure to
program HomeLink with the vehicle out-
side of the garage, or with the garage door
open at all times.
2.
Push and hold the two outside HomeLink
buttons (I and III) for up to 20 seconds, or
until the instrument cluster display
switches from the “Clearing Channels”
message to the “Channels Cleared”
message.
NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be per-
formed when programming HomeLink for the
first time. Do not erase channels when pro-
gramming additional buttons.
Identifying Whether You Have A
Rolling Code Or Non-Rolling Code
Device
Before programming a device to one of your
HomeLink buttons, you must determine
whether the device has a rolling code or
non-rolling code.
Rolling Code Devices
To determine if your device has a rolling code,
a good indicator is its manufacturing date.
Typically, devices manufactured after
1995 have rolling codes. A device with a
rolling code will also have a “LEARN” or
“TRAIN” button located where the antenna is
attached to the device. The button may not
be immediately visible when looking at the
device. The name and color of the button may
vary slightly by manufacturer. NOTE:
The “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button is not the
button you normally use to operate the de-
vice.
Non-rolling Code Devices
Most devices manufactured before 1995 will
not have a rolling code. These devices will
also not have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.Programming HomeLink To A
Garage Door Opener
To program any of the HomeLink buttons to
activate your garage door opener motor, fol-
low the steps below:
NOTE:
All HomeLink buttons are programmed using
this procedure. You do not need to erase all
channels when programming additional but-
tons.
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN
position.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:
For vehicle’s equipped with Keyless Enter-
N-Go, place the ignition in the RUN posi-
tion with the Engine ON. Make sure to
program HomeLink with the vehicle out-
side of the garage, or with the garage door
open at all times.
2. Place the garage door opener 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. Push and hold the HomeLink button you want to program while you push and hold
the garage door opener transmitter button
you are trying to replicate .
4. Continue to hold both buttons until the Instrument Cluster Display changes from
“CHANNEL # TRAINING” to “CHANNEL
# TRAINED.” Once this happens, release
both buttons. NOTE:
• It may take up to 30 seconds or longer in some cases for the channel to train.
• If “DID NOT TRAIN” appears in the instrument cluster display repeat from
Step 2.
NOTE:
Make sure the garage door opener motor is
plugged in before moving on to the rolling
code/non-rolling code final steps.
Rolling Code Garage Door Opener Final Steps
NOTE:
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate
rolling code final step 2, after completing
rolling code final step 1.
1. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAIN”
button. This can usually be found where
the hanging antenna wire is attached to
the garage door opener motor. Firmly push
and release the “LEARN” or “TRAIN”
button. 2. Return to the vehicle and push the pro-
grammed HomeLink button three times
(holding the button for two seconds each
time). The instrument cluster display will
show “CHANNEL # TRANSMIT”. If the
garage door opener motor operates, pro-
gramming is complete.
3. Push the programmed HomeLink button to confirm that the garage door opener
motor operates. If the garage door opener
motor does not operate, repeat the final
steps for the rolling code procedure.
Non-Rolling Code Garage Door Opener Final
Steps
1. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink button and observe the instru-
ment cluster display. If the instrument
cluster display shows the “CHANNEL #
TRANSMIT,” programming is complete.
2. Push the programmed HomeLink button to confirm that the garage door opener
motor operates. If the garage door opener
motor does not operate, repeat the steps
from the beginning.
