The HomeLink ® Universal
Transceiver built into your vehicle
can be programmed to operate up to
three remote controlled devices
around your home, such as garage
doors, lighting, or home security
systems.
General Safety Information
Before programming your HomeLink
to operate a garage door opener,
confirm that the opener has an
external entrapment protection
system, such as an
‘‘electronic eye,’’
or other safety and reverse stop
features.
If your garage door was
manufactured before April 1, 1982,
you may not be able to program
HomeLink to operate it. These units
do not have safety features that cause
the motor to stop and reverse it if an
obstacle is detected during closing,
increasing the risk of injury. Do not
use HomeLink with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and
reverse features.
Units manufactured between April 1,
1982 and January 1, 1993 may be
equipped with safety stop and
reverse features. If your unit does not
have an external entrapment
protection system, an easy test to
confirm the function and
performance of the safety stop and
reverse feature is to lay a 2
╳ 4
under the closing door. The door
should stop and reverse upon
contacting the piece of wood.
As an additional safety feature,
garage door openers manufactured
after January 1, 1993 are required to
have external entrapment protection
systems, such as an electronic eye,
which detect an object obstructing
the door.
Important Safety Precautions
Refer to the safety information that came
with your garage door opener to test that
the safety features are functioning
properly. If you do not have this
information, contact the manufacturer of
the equipment.
Before programming HomeLink to a
garage door or gate opener, make sure
that people and objects are out of the way
of the device to prevent potential injury
or damage.
When programming a garage door
opener, park just outside the garage.
Training HomeLink
Before you begin
－ If you just
received your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink before, you should erase
any previously learned codes before
training the first button.
To do this, press and hold the two
outside buttons on the HomeLink
transceiver for about 20 seconds,
until the red indicator flashes.
Release the buttons, then proceed to
step 1.
