UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR

OPENER

HomeLink Wireless Control

System

WARNING: Do not use the system

with any garage door opener that does

not have the safety stop and reverse

feature as required by U.S. Federal

Safety Standards (this includes any

garage door opener manufactured

before April 1, 1982). A garage door

opener which cannot detect an object,

signaling the door to stop and reverse,

does not meet current federal safety

standards. Using a garage door opener

without these features increases the risk

of serious injury or death.

E142657

The universal garage door opener replaces

the common hand-held garage door

opener with a three-button transmitter

that is integrated into the driver’s sun visor.

The system includes two primary features,

a garage door opener and a platform for

remote activation of devices within the

home. As well as being programmed for

garage doors, the system transmitter can

be programmed to operate entry gate

operators, security systems, entry door

locks and home or office lighting.

Additional system information can be

found online at www.homelink.com,

www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or

by calling the toll-free help line on

1-800-355-3515.

Note: Make sure that the garage door and

security device are free from obstruction

when you are programming. Do not program

the system with the vehicle in the garage.

Note: Make sure you keep the original

remote control transmitter for use in other

vehicles as well as for future system

programming.

Note: We recommend that upon the sale

or lease termination of your vehicle, you

erase the programmed function buttons for

security reasons. See Erasing the Function

Button Codes.

Note: You can program a maximum of

three devices. To change or replace any of

the three devices after it has been initially

programmed, you must first erase the

current settings. See Erasing the Function

Button Codes.

In-Vehicle Programming

This process is to program your hand-held

transmitter and your in-vehicle HomeLink

button.

Note: The programming steps below

assume you will be programming HomeLink

that was not previously programmed.

Note: Put a new battery in the hand-held

transmitter. This will ensure quicker training

and accurate transmission of the

radio-frequency signal.

Note: Do not hang any accessory from the

accessory plug.

Note: Do not use the power point over the

vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or

a fuse may blow.

110 Volt AC Power Point^{(If Equipped)}

WARNING: Do not keep electrical

devices plugged in the power point

whenever the device is not in use. Do not

use any extension cord with the 110 volt

AC power point, since it will defeat the

safety protection design. Doing so may

cause the power point to overload due

to powering multiple devices that can

reach beyond the 150 watt load limit and

could result in fire or serious injury.

Note: Always keep the power point caps

closed when not in use.

Do not insert objects other than an

accessory plug into the power point. This

damages the power point and may blow

the fuse.

Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the

power point.

To prevent the battery from running out of

charge:

Note: The power point turns off when you

switch off the ignition, when the vehicle is

not in accessory mode or when the battery

voltage drops below 11 volts.

You can use the power point for electric

devices that require up to 150 watts. It is

on the rear of the center console.

•

Do not use the power point longer than

necessary when the vehicle is not

running.

•

Do not leave devices plugged in

overnight or when you park your vehicle

for extended periods.
