Gate Operator / Canadian
Programming

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
programming. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to
“time-out” in the same manner.

Note:

If programming a garage door opener

or gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to
prevent possible overheating.

1.

Press and release, every two seconds,
your hand-held transmitter until the
HomeLink indicator light changes to a
rapidly blinking or continuously on light.

2. Release the hand-held transmitter

button.

3. Continue programing HomeLink. See

In-Vehicle Programming, Step 4

.

12 Volt DC Power Point

WARNING

Do not plug optional electrical
accessories into the cigar lighter
socket. Incorrect use of the cigar

lighter can cause damage not covered by
the vehicle warranty, and can result in fire
or serious injury.

Note:

When you switch the ignition on, you

can use the socket to power 12 volt
appliances with a maximum current rating
of 15 amps.

If the power supply does not work after you
switch the ignition off, switch the ignition
on.
Note:

Do not hang any accessory from the

accessory plug.

Note:

Do not use the power point over the

vehicle capacity of 12 volt DC 180 watts or
a fuse may blow.

Note:

Always keep the power point caps

closed when not in use.

Do not insert objects other than an
accessory plug into the power point. This
damages the power point and may blow
the fuse.

Run the vehicle for full capacity use of the
power point.

To prevent the battery from running out of
charge:
