HomeLinkா Wireless Control System (if equipped)

The HomeLink௡ Wireless Control System, located on the overhead

console or on the driver’s visor, 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 transmitters to operate

garage doors, entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks,

and home or office lighting.

WARNING: 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 injury 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

accessory 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.

Car2Uா Home Automation System (if equipped)

The Car2U௡ Home Automation

System is a universal transmitter

located in the driver’s visor that

includes two primary features – a

garage door opener and a platform

for remote activation of devices

within the home. The Car2U௡

system’s garage door opener

function replaces the common

hand-held garage door opener with a three-button transmitter that is

integrated into the interior of your vehicle. After being programmed for

garage doors, the Car2U௡ system transmitter can be programmed to

operate security devices and home lighting systems.

WARNING: Make sure that people and objects are clear of the

garage door or security device you are programming. Do not

program the Car2U௡ system with the vehicle in the garage.

Do not use the Car2U௡ 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 manufactured before

April 1, 1982).

Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other

vehicles as well as for future Car2U௡ system programming. It is also

recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the

programmed Car2U௡ system buttons should be erased for security

reasons. Refer to Erasing the Car2U௡ Home Automation System

buttons later in this section.

Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the

Car2U௡ system. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have

another person assist you in programming the transmitter.

Additional Car2U௡ system information can be found on-line at

www.learcar2U.com or by calling the toll-free Car2U௡ system help line at

1-866-572-2728.

Types of garage door openers (rolling code and fixed code)

The Car2U௡ Home Automation System may be programmed to operate

rolling code and fixed code garage door openers.

• Rolling code garage door openers were produced after 1996 and are

code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every

time your remote control garage door opener is used.

140

2010 Explorer (exp)

Owners Guide, 2nd Printing

Driver Controls

• Fixed code garage door openers were produced prior to 1996. Fixed

code uses the same coded signal every time. It is manually

programmed by setting DIP switches for a unique personal code.
