WARNING

Do not use the HomeLink system with

any garage door opener that lacks the

safety stop and reverse feature:

Using the HomeLink system with any

garage door opener that lacks the

safety stop and reverse feature as

required by federal safety standards

is dangerous. (This includes garage

doors manufactured before April 1,

Programming the HomeLink System

4. Firmly press and hold the programmed

HomeLink button for five seconds, and

then release it. Perform this operation

two times to activate the door. If the

door does not activate, press and hold

the just-trained HomeLink button and

observe the indicator light.

CAUTION

When programming a garage door

opener or a gate, disconnect the

power to these devices before

performing programming, as

continuous operation of the devices

could damage the motor.

If the indicator light stays on constantly,

programming is complete and your

device should activate when the

The HomeLink system provides 3 buttons

which can be individually selected and

programmed using the transmitters for

current, on-market devices as follows:

HomeLink button is pressed and released.

NOTE

To program the remaining two HomeLink

buttons, begin with “Programming” ― step 1.

1. Position the end of your hand-held

transmitter 2.5―7.5 cm (1―3 inches)

away from the HomeLink button you

wish to program while keeping the

indicator light in view.

If the indicator light blinks rapidly for

two seconds and then turns to a

constant light, continue with

“Programming” steps 5―7 to complete

the programming of a rolling code

equipped device (most commonly a

garage door opener).

2. Simultaneously press and hold both the

chosen HomeLink and hand-held

transmitter buttons. Do not release the

buttons until step 3 has been

completed.

5. At the garage door opener receiver

(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate

the “learn” or “smart” button. This can

usually be found where the hanging

antenna wire is attached to the motor-

head unit.

NOTE

Some gate operators and garage door openers

may require you to replace this Programming

Step 2 with procedures noted in the “Gate

Operator/Canadian Programming” section.

6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or

“smart” button. (The name and color of

the button may vary by manufacturer.)

3. After the HomeLink indicator light

changes from a slow to a rapidly

blinking light, release both the

HomeLink and hand-held transmitter

buttons.

NOTE

Complete the programming within 30 seconds.

7. Return to the vehicle and firmly press,

hold for two seconds and release the

programmed HomeLink button. Repeat

the “press/hold/release” sequence a

second time, 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 process.

Continue to press and hold the HomeLink

button while you press and release ―

every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-

held transmitter until the frequency signal

has successfully been accepted by

HomeLink. (The indicator light will flash

slowly and then rapidly.)

Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to

complete.

HomeLink should now activate your

rolling code equipped device.

qOperating the HomeLink System

Press the programmed HomeLink button

to operate a programmed device. The

code will continue being transmitted for a

maximum of 20 seconds.

NOTE

To program the remaining two HomeLink

buttons, begin with “Programming” ― step 1.

qReprogramming the HomeLink

system

To program a device to HomeLink using a

HomeLink button previously trained,

follow these steps:

qGate operator/Canadian

Programming

Canadian radio-frequency laws require

transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)

after several seconds of transmission ―

which may not be long enough for

HomeLink to pick up the signal during

programming. Similar to this Canadian

law, some U.S. gate operators are

designed to “time-out” in the same

manner.

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink

button. DO NOT release the button.

2. The indicator light will begin to flash

after 20 seconds. Without releasing the

HomeLink button, proceed with

“Programming” - step 1.

qErasing Programmed HomeLink

Buttons

If you live in Canada or you are having

difficulties programming a gate operator

by using the “Programming” procedures

(regardless of where you live), replace

“Programming HomeLink” step 2 with

the following:

To erase the existing programming from

all three operating channels, press and

hold the two outside buttons (

on the auto-dimming mirror until the

HomeLink indicator light begins to flash

after approximately 10 seconds.

)

NOTE

Verify that the programming has been

erased when you resell the vehicle.

If programming a garage door opener or gate

operator, it is advised to unplug the device

during the “cycling” process to prevent

possible overheating.
