Gate Operator / Canadian Pro-
gramming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter remote signals to “time-out”
(or quit) after several seconds of transmis-
sion, which may not be long enough for
HomeLink
®to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are de-
signed to “time-out”in the same manner.
The indicator LED on the hand-held
remote will go off when the device times
out, indicating that it has finished transmit-
ting.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the program-
ming procedures, replace “Programming a
New HomeLink
®button ”step 3 with the
following:
While the HomeLink
®indicator light is
flashing orange, press and release (“cy-
cle ”)yourdevice ’s hand-held remote
every two seconds until the HomeLink
®indicator light changes from orange to
green. You may now release the hand-
held remote button.
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug
3-78

the device during the“cycling ”pro-
cess to prevent possible overheating.
Proceed with “Programming a New
HomeLink
®button ”step 4 to complete.
! Using HomeLink
®
To operate, simply press and release the
programmed HomeLink®button. Activa-
tion will now occur for the trained device
(i.e. garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/
office lighting, etc.). For convenience, the
hand-held remote of the device may also
be used at any time.
!Erasing HomeLink
®buttons
To erase programming from the three
buttons (individual buttons cannot be
erased but can be “reprogrammed”as
outlined below), follow the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink
®buttons for at least 10 seconds. The LED
indicator will change from continuously lit
to rapidly flashing. Release both buttons.
Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds.
HomeLink
®is now ready to be pro-
grammed at any time beginning with
“Programming a New HomeLink
®button ”
- step 1. !
Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink
®button
To program a previously trained button,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
®button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to slowly
flash orange after 20 seconds. The
HomeLink
®button can be released at this
point. Proceed with “Programming a New
HomeLink
®button ”- step 3.
3. If you do not complete the program-
ming of a new device to the button, it will
revert to the previously stored program-
ming.
!Garage Door Two-Way Commu-
nication
HomeLink
®has the capability of commu-
nicating with your garage door opener.
HomeLink
®can receive and display “clos-
ing ”or “opening ”status messages from
compatible garage door opener systems.
At any time, HomeLink
®can also recall
and display the last recorded status
communicated by the garage door opener
to indicate your garage door being
“ closed ”or “opened ”.
HomeLink
®has the capability of receiving
this communication from the garage door
opener at a range up to 820 feet (250 m). Range may be reduced by obstacles such
as houses or trees. You may have to slow
your vehicle speed to successfully receive
the garage door opener communication.
!Programming Two-Way Commu-
nication
1) Status Indicators
Within 5 seconds after programming a
new HomeLink®button, both of Home-
Link ’s garage door status indicators will
flash rapidly green indicating that the
garage door two-way communication has
been enabled. If your garage door status
indicators flashed, two-way communica-
tion programming is complete.
If the garage door status indicators do not
flash, additional HomeLink
®information
and programming videos can be found

system/keyless access function within a
few seconds immediately following remote
engine start shutdown.
&Pre-heating or pre-cooling
the interior of the vehicle
Before exiting the vehicle, set the tem-
perature controls to the desired setting
and operation. After the system starts the
engine, the heater or air conditioning will
activate and heat or cool the interior to
your setting.
&Service mode (models with-
out “keyless access with
push-button start system ”)
In service mode, the remote engine start
function is temporarily disabled to prevent
the system from unexpectedly starting the
engine while being serviced. To engage or disengage service mode:

position
5. Press and release the remote engine
start transmitter “
”button three times.
The system will honk the vehicle ’s horn
each time the button is pressed.
6. The system will pause for 1 second
then honk the vehicle’ s horn three times to
indicate that the service mode has been
engaged or honk one time to indicate that
the service mode has been disengaged.
NOTE
When taking your vehicle in for service,
it is recommended that you inform the
service personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with a remote engine start
system.
& Remote transmitter program
(models without “keyless ac-
cess with push-button start
system ”)
New transmitters can be programmed to
the remote engine start system in the
7-20

event that a transmitter is lost, stolen,
damaged or additional transmitters are
desired (the system will accept up to eight
transmitters). New remote engine start
transmitters can be programmed accord-
ing to the following procedure.
1. Open the driver’s door (the driver ’s
door must remain opened throughout the
entire process).
2. Depress and hold the brake pedal.
3. Turn the ignition switch to “ON”then
“ LOCK”, back to “ON”then “LOCK ”, back
to “ON ”then “LOCK”, then back to “ON”
again and leave the ignition “ON”through-
out the programming process.
4. The system will flash the side marker
lights, tail lights and parking lights and
honk the horn three times, indicating that
the system has entered the transmitter
learn mode.
5. Press and release the “
”button on
the transmitter that you want to program.
6. The system will flash the side marker
lights, tail lights and parking lights and
honk the horn one time, indicating that the

7. Repeat step 5 for any additional
transmitters (the system will accept up to eight transmitters).
8. The system will exit the transmitter
learn mode if the key is turned to the
“LOCK”
position, the door is closed or
after 2 minutes.
& System maintenance
NOTE
For models without “keyless access
with push-button start system ”:
In the event that the vehicle ’s battery is
replaced, discharged or disconnected,
it will be necessary to start the vehicle
a minimum of one time using the key
prior to activating the remote engine
start system. This is required to allow
the vehicle electronic systems to re-
synchronize.
! Changing the batteries
CAUTION
.Do not let dust, oil or water get on
or in the remote engine start
transmitter when replacing the
battery.
. Be careful not to damage the
printed circuit board in the re-
mote engine start transmitter
when replacing the battery. .
Be careful not to allow children to
touch the battery and any re-
moved parts; children could
swallow them.
. There is a danger of explosion if
an incorrect replacement battery
is used. Replace only with the
same or equivalent type of bat-
tery.
. Batteries should not be exposed
to excessive heat such as sun-
shine, fire or the like.
For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system:
Perform the procedure described in “Re-
placing battery of access key ”F 11-50.
For models without “keyless access
with push-button start system ”:
The 3-volt lithium battery (model CR-
2032) supplied in your remote engine start
transmitter should last approximately one
year, depending on usage. When the
battery begins to weaken, you will notice
a decrease in range (distance from the
vehicle that your remote control operates).
Follow the instructions below to change
the remote engine start transmitter battery.
