To Unlock From The Passenger Side:
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the passenger door handle, grab
the front passenger door handle to unlock all
doors automatically. The interior door panel
lock knob will raise when the door is un-
locked.
NOTE:
All doors will unlock when the front passen-
ger door handle is grabbed regardless of the
driver’s door unlock preference setting (“Un-
lock Driver Door 1st Press” or “Unlock All
Doors 1st Press”).
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 thevehicle 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 HomeLink buttons that are located inthe overhead console or sunvisor designate
the three different HomeLink channels.
• To operate HomeLink, push and release any of the programmed HomeLink buttons.
These buttons will activate the devices they
are programmed to with each press of the
corresponding HomeLink button.
Before You Begin Programming
HomeLink
For efficient programming and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal, it
is recommended that a new battery be placed
in the hand-held transmitter of the device
that is being programmed to the HomeLink
system. Make sure your hand-held transmit-
ter is programmed to activate the device you
are trying to program your HomeLink button
to.
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of
the garage before you begin programming.
It is recommended that you erase all the
channels of your HomeLink before you use it
for the first time. If you have any problems, or require assis-
tance, please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
or, on the Internet at HomeLink.com for in-
formation or assistance.
Erasing All The HomeLink
Channels
To erase the channels, follow this procedure:
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN
position.
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.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

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
