HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
Introduction
HomeLink1 is a system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-devices (for
example, a garage door opener, remote lighting, entry gate). HomeLink's sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by
your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your handheld remote controls. The HomeLink transceiver
consists of three programmable buttons and an indicator light.

NOTE
For your security, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your car from the
outside.
Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (for example, if you purchase a new vehicle).
For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver when you sell your
vehicle.
Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a vehicle equipped with HomeLink Universal
Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceivers function.
Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your handheld transmitters.
NOTE
The HomeLink universal transceiver will function for 30 minutes after the driver's door has been opened without

Starting the engine
NOTE
The idling speed can be noticeably higher than normal during cold starts. This is to enable emission control system
can reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible, which helps reduce exhaust emissions

Keylock: Your vehicle is equipped with a keylock system. When the engine is switched off, the gear selector must
be in the Park position before the key can be removed
2 from the ignition slot.
1If the gear selector is in the D or R positions and the car is not moving, engine speed (rpm) will be lower and it will take longer for the engine to
reach normal operating temperature.
2Does not apply to vehicles with the optional keyless drive.
CAUTION
When starting in cold weather, the automatic transmission may shift up at slightly higher engine speeds than
normal until the automatic transmission fluid reaches normal operating temperature.
Do not race a cold engine immediately after starting. Oil flow may not reach some lubrication points fast enough
to prevent engine damage.
The engine should be idling when you move the gear selector. Never accelerate until after you feel the
transmission engage. Accelerating immediately after selecting a gear will cause harsh engagement and premature
transmission wear.
Selecting P or N when idling at a standstill for prolonged periods of time will help prevent overheating of the
