FORD 2008 Taurus v.2 - Manual (Page 107)

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: Your vehicle may require the ignition switch to be turned to the
ACC 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, 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.
