WARNINGS

Make sure that the garage door and
security device are free from
obstruction when you are

programming. Do not program the system
with the vehicle in the garage.

Do not use the system with any
garage door opener that does not
have the safety stop and reverse

feature as required by U.S. Federal Safety
Standards (this includes any garage door
opener manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door opener which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death.

Note: Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future system
programming.

Note: We recommend that upon the sale
or lease termination of your vehicle, you
erase the programmed function buttons for
security reasons. See Erasing the Function
Button Codes.

Note: You can program a maximum of
three devices. To change or replace any of
the three devices after it has been initially
programmed, you must first erase the
current settings. See Erasing the Function
Button Codes.

E142657

The universal garage door opener replaces
the common hand-held garage door
opener with a three-button transmitter
that is integrated into the driver’s sun visor.

The system includes two primary features,
a garage door opener and a platform for
remote activation of devices within the
home. As well as being programmed for
garage doors, the system transmitter can
be programmed to operate entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door
locks and home or office lighting.

Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com,
www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or
by calling the toll-free help line on
1-800-355-3515.

In-Vehicle Programming

This process is to program your hand-held
transmitter and your in-vehicle HomeLink
button.

Note: The programming steps below
assume you will be programming HomeLink
that was not previously programmed.

Note: Put a new battery in the hand-held
transmitter. This will ensure quicker training
and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.

(If Equipped)

E142658

1.

With your vehicle parked outside of the
garage, turn your ignition to the on
position, but do not start your vehicle.

2. Hold your hand-held garage door

transmitter 2–6 in (5–14 cm) away
from the HomeLink button you want
to program.

3. Using both hands, simultaneously,

press and hold the desired HomeLink
button and the hand-held transmitter
button. DO NOT release either one until
the HomeLink indicator light flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The rapid
flashing indicates successful training.

Note: You may need to use a different
method if you live in Canada or have
difficulties programming your gate operator
or garage door opener. See Gate Operator
/ Canadian Programming.

4. Press and hold the HomeLink button

you programmed for two seconds, then
release. You may need to do this twice
to activate the door. If your garage door
does not operate, watch the HomeLink
indicator light.

If the indicator light stays on, the
programming is complete. No further
action is needed.

If the indicator light flashes rapidly for 2
seconds and then turns to a constant light,
the HomeLink button is not programmed
yet. See Programming Your Garage Door
Opener Motor.

To program additional buttons, repeat
Steps 1 – 4.

(If Equipped)

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 hold the HomeLink button
while you press and release, every two
seconds, your hand-held transmitter
until the HomeLink indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light.

2. Release both the HomeLink and

hand-held transmitter buttons.

3. Continue programing HomeLink. See

In-Vehicle Programming.

Erasing the Function Button Codes

Note: You cannot erase individual buttons.

E142660

1.

Press and hold the outer two function
buttons simultaneously for
approximately 20 seconds until the
indicator lights above the buttons flash
rapidly.

2. When the indicator lights flash, release

the buttons. The codes for all buttons
are erased.

Reprogramming a Single Button

To program a device to a previously trained
button, follow these steps:

1.

Press and hold the desired button. Do
NOT release the button.

2. The indicator light will begin to flash

after 20 seconds. Without releasing the
button, follow Step 1 in the
Programming section.
