Getting ready to program  
d Please read the product manufacturer's instructions before pro-  
gramming the garage door opener or other device.  
d Safely park the vehicle within range of the device to be pro-  
grammed.  
d Switch the ignition on, but do not start the engine.  
The buttons 1, 2, and 3 on the keypad in the sun visor can operate  
up to 3 separate devices (for example, a gate and garage door,  
house alarm or lighting system).  
Please carry out each step only in the order specified:  
1. For first time programming only: Press and hold the two  
outer HomeLink buttons 1 and 3 at the same time for about 20  
seconds, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light  
above button 2 begins to flash.  
This step deletes any old settings. Do not perform this step  
when programming the additional HomeLink buttons.  
2. Position the hand-held transmitter for your remote control de-  
vice 1-3 inches (25-75 mm) away from the HomeLink keypad  
on the driver side sun visor, keeping the HomeLink indicator  
light in view, as shown fig. 41.  
3. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the  
HomeLink button you want to program (1, 2, or 3) and the  
hand-held transmitter button, as shown fig. 42. Do not re-  
lease the buttons until the HomeLink indicator light flash-  
es slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes  
rapidly, release both buttons. The rapid flashing indicates suc-  
cessful programming.  
Press and hold the programmed HomeLink button and watch  
the indicator light.  
If the indicator light comes on and does not flash, programming  
is complete and your garage door opener or other device  
should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed and re-  
leased.  
4.  
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for 2 seconds and then stays  
on, proceed with the following programming instructions for a  
rolling code device. A second person may make the following  
steps quicker and easier. Please use a ladder or other device.
