FORD 2010 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 101)

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: Your vehicle 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.
1. Position the end of your
hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches
(2–8 cm) away from the HomeLink
௡
button you wish to program (located
on your visor) while keeping the
indicator light in view.
2. Simultaneously press and hold
both the chosen HomeLink
௡ and
hand-held transmitter buttons until the HomeLink
௡ indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly blinking light. Now you may release
both the HomeLink
௡ and hand-held transmitter buttons.
Note: Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to
replace Step 2 with procedures noted in the Gate Operator and
Canadian Programming in this section for Canadian residents.
3. Firmly press and hold for five seconds and release the
programmed HomeLink
௡ button up to two separate times to activate the
door. If the door does not activate, press and hold the just-trained
HomeLink
௡ button and observe the indicator light.
• If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete
and your device should activate when the HomeLink
௡ button is pressed
and released.
• If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns
to a constant light continue with “Programming” Steps 4 through
6 to complete programming of a rolling code equipped device (most
commonly a garage door opener).
4. 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).
