POWER WINDOWS

WARNING

∙ Make sure that all passengers have

their hands, etc., inside the vehicle
while it is in motion and before closing
the windows. Use the window lock
switch to prevent unexpected use of
the power windows.

∙ To help avoid risk of injury or death

through unintended operation of the
vehicle and/or its systems, including
entrapment in windows or inadver-
tent door lock activation, do not leave
children, people who require the as-
sistance of others or pets unattended
in your vehicle. Additionally, the tem-
perature inside a closed vehicle on a
warm day can quickly become high
enough to cause a significant risk of
injury or death to people and pets.

The power windows operate when the ig-
nition switch is placed in the ON position or
for a period of time after the ignition switch
is placed in the OFF position. If the driver’s
or passenger’s door is opened during this
period of time, the power to the windows is
canceled.

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-
held transmitters into one built-in device.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver:

∙ Will operate most radio frequency de-

vices such as garage doors, gates,
home and office lighting, entry door
locks and security systems.

∙ Is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No

separate batteries are required. If the
vehicle’s battery is discharged or is dis-
connected, HomeLink® will retain all
programming.

When the HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming pro-
cedures (Example: new vehicle pur-
chases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed

HomeLink®

Universal

Transceiver buttons should be erased for
security purposes. For additional infor-
mation,

refer

to

“Programming

HomeLink®” in this section.

WARNING

∙ Your

vehicle’s

engine

should

be

turned off while programming the
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver. For
additional

information,

refer

to

“Push-button ignition switch” in the
“Starting and driving” section of this
manual. Do

not

breathe

exhaust

gases; they contain colorless and
odorless carbon monoxide. Carbon
monoxide is dangerous. It can cause
unconsciousness or death.

∙ Do not use the HomeLink® Universal

Transceiver with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards. (These standards
became effective for opener models
manufactured after April 1, 1982.) A
garage door opener which cannot de-
tect an object in the path of a closing
garage door and then automatically
stop and reverse does not meet cur-
rent federal safety standards. Using a
garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious
injury or death.

∙ During the programming procedure

your garage door or security gate will
open and close (if the transmitter is
within range). Make sure that people
or objects are clear of the garage door,
gate, etc., that you are programming.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK®

If you have any questions or are having
difficulty programming your HomeLink®
buttons, refer to the HomeLink® web site at:
www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® FOR
CANADIAN CUSTOMERS AND GATE
OPENERS

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
training. Similar to this Canadian law, some
U.S. gate operators are designed to “tim-
eout” in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-
culties training a gate operator or garage
door opener by using the “Training” proce-
dures, replace “Programming HomeLink®”
step 2 with the following:

NOTE:

When

programming

a

garage

door

opener, etc., unplug the device during
the “cycling” process to prevent possible
damage to the garage door opener com-
ponents.

1. For additional information, refer to “Pro-

gramming HomeLink®” step 1 in this
section.

2. Using

both

hands,

simultaneously

press and hold the desired HomeLink®
button and the hand-held transmitter
button. During training, your hand-held
transmitter may automatically stop
transmitting. Continue to press and
hold the desired HomeLink® button
while you press and re-press (“cycle”)
your

hand-held

transmitter

every

2 seconds until the frequency signal
has been learned. The HomeLink® indi-
cator light will flash slowly and then
rapidly after several seconds upon
successful training. DO NOT release un-
til the HomeLink® indicator light flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the indi-
cator light flashes rapidly, both buttons
may be released. The rapid flashing in-
dicates successful training.
Proceed

with

“Programming

HomeLink®” step 3 to complete.
If the device was unplugged during the
programming procedure, remember
to plug it back in when programming is
completed.

OPERATING THE HOMELINK®
UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER

The HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, after
it is programmed, can be used to activate
the programmed device. To operate, sim-
ply press and release the appropriate pro-
grammed HomeLink® Universal Trans-
ceiver button. The amber indicator light will
illuminate while the signal is being trans-
mitted.

For convenience, the hand-held transmit-
ter of the device may also be used at any
time.

PROGRAMMING TROUBLE-
DIAGNOSIS

If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:

∙ Replace the hand-held transmitter bat-

teries with new batteries.

∙ Position the hand-held transmitter with

its battery area facing away from the
HomeLink® surface.

∙ Press and hold both the HomeLink®

and hand-held transmitter buttons
without interruption.

Instruments and controls

2-79

∙ Position the hand-held transmitter 1 -

3 inches (26 - 76 mm) away from the
