HomeLink
®has the capability of commu-

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
