To vent:

To tilt the moon roof into the vent position (when the glass panel is

closed), press and hold the front portion of the control. To close the

moon roof from the vent position, press and hold the rear portion of the

control until the glass panel stops moving.

If the battery is disconnected, discharged, or a new battery is installed,

the moon roof needs to be opened to the vent position to reset the moon

roof positions.

The moon roof has a sliding shade that can be opened or closed when

the glass panel is shut. To close the shade, pull it toward the front of the

vehicle.

Do not let children play with the moon roof. They may seriously

hurt themselves.

HOMELINKா WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

The HomeLink௡ Wireless Control System, located on the overhead

console, provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held

transmitters with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio

frequency codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors,

entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or

office lighting.

When programming your HomeLink௡ Wireless Control System to

a garage door or gate, be sure that people and objects are out of

the way to prevent potential harm or damage.

Do not use the HomeLink௡ Wireless Control System with any garage

door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by

U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any garage door opener

model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door which cannot

detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet

current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information, contact

HomeLink௡ at: www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.

Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for

future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLink௡ equipped vehicle

purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the

programmed Homelink௡ buttons be erased for security purposes, refer to

Programming in this section.

Programming

Do not program HomeLink௡ with the vehicle parked in the garage.

Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the

second (or “ACC”) position for programming and/or operation of the

HomeLink௡. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the

hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink௡ for

quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

1. Press and hold the two outside

buttons releasing only when the red

light begins to flash after 20

seconds. Do not repeat step one to

program additional hand-held

transmitters to the remaining two

HomeLink௡ buttons. This will erase

previously programmed hand-held

transmitter signals into HomeLink௡.

2. Position the end of your

hand-held transmitter 2–8 cm (1–3

inches) away from the HomeLink௡ button you wish to program (located

on your overhead console) while keeping the red light in view.

3. Simultaneously press and hold

both the HomeLink௡ and hand-held

transmitter button. Do not release

the buttons until step 4 has been

completed.

Some entry gates and garage door

openers may require you to replace

step 3 with procedures noted in the

“Gate Operator and Canadian

Programming” section for Canadian

residents.

4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons

when the red light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light indicates

acceptance of the hand-held transmitters’ radio frequency signals.)

5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLink௡ button and observe the red

light. If the light is a constant red, programming is complete and your

device should activate when the HomeLink௡ button is pressed and

released. Note: To program the remaining two HomeLink௡ buttons,

begin with step 2 in the “Programming” section — do not repeat step 1.

Note: If the red light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a

continuous red, proceed with steps 6 through 8 to complete

programming of a rolling code equipped device.

6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage,

locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging

antenna wire is attached to the unit).

7. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color

of the button may vary by manufacturer.)

Note: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight.

8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and

release the HomeLink௡ button. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence

again, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other

rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to

complete the programming.

HomeLink௡ should now activate your rolling code equipped device. To

program additional HomeLink௡ buttons begin with step 2 in the

“Programming” section. For questions or comments, please contact

HomeLink at www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.

Gate Operator & Canadian Programming

During programming, your

hand-held transmitter may

automatically stop transmitting —

not allowing enough time for

HomeLink௡ to accept the signal

from the hand-held transmitter.

After completing steps 1 and 2

outlined in the “Programming”

section, replace step 3 with the

following:

Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is

advised to unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent

overheating.

• Continue to press and hold the HomeLink௡ button (note step 3 in the

“Programming” section) while you press and release — every two

seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until the frequency

signal has been accepted by the HomeLink௡. The red indicator light

will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink௡ accepts the radio

frequency signal.

• Proceed with step 4 in the “Programming” section.

Operating the HomeLinkா Wireless Control System

To operate, simply press and release

the appropriate HomeLink௡ button.

Activation will now occur for the

trained product (garage door, gate

operator, security system, entry

door lock, or home or office lighting

etc.). For convenience, the

hand-held transmitter of the device

may also be used at any time. In the

event that there are still

programming difficulties, contact

HomeLink௡ at www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515.

Erasing HomeLinkா buttons

To erase the three programmed

buttons (individual buttons cannot

be erased):

• Press and hold the two outer

HomeLink௡ buttons until the red

indicator light begins to

flash-after 20 seconds. Release

both buttons. Do not hold for

longer that 30 seconds.

HomeLink௡ is now in the train (or

learning) mode and can be programmed at any time beginning with step

2 in the “Programming” section.

Reprogramming a single HomeLinkா button

To program a device to HomeLink௡ using a HomeLink௡ button previously

trained, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink௡ button. Do NOT release the

button.

2. The red indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without

releasing the HomeLink௡ button, follow step 2 in the “Programming”

section.

For questions or comments, contact HomeLink௡ at www.homelink.com

or 1–800–355–3515.
