as programming to a garage door opener

Ú

page 42. Be sure to determine if the device has

a rolling code, or non-rolling code before beginning

the programming process.

NOTE:

Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require trans

-

mitter 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. The procedure may need to be

performed multiple times to successfully pair the

device to your HomeLink® buttons.

ROGRAMMING

For programming transmitters in Canada/United

States that require the transmitter signals to

“time-out” after several seconds of transmission:
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) 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.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the

cycling process to prevent possible overheating of

the garage door or gate motor.
1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go™,

place the ignition in the RUN position with the

engine on. Make sure while programming

HomeLink® with the engine on that your vehicle is

outside of your garage, or that the garage door

remains open at all times.

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches

(3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button

you wish to program.

3. Push and hold the HomeLink® button while

you push and release (cycle), your hand-held

transmitter every two seconds.

4. Continue to hold both buttons until the

instrument cluster display changes from

“CHANNEL # TRAINING” to “CHANNEL #

TRAINED,” then release both buttons.

NOTE:



It may take up to 30 seconds or longer in

some cases for the channel to train.



If the instrument cluster display shows

“DID NOT TRAIN”, repeat from Step 2.

5. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink®

button. The instrument cluster display will

display “CHANNEL # TRANSMIT.” If the device

is plugged in and activates, programming is

complete.

If you unplugged the garage door opener/device

for programming, plug it back in at this time.

Reprogramming A Single HomeLink® Button

(Canadian/Gate Operator)
To reprogram a channel that has been previously

Intermittent Wipers
The intermittent feature of this system was

designed for use when weather conditions make a

single wiping cycle, with a variable pause between

cycles, desirable. For maximum delay between

cycles, rotate the control knob upward to the

first detent.
The delay interval decreases as you rotate the

knob until it enters the low continual speed

position. The delay can be regulated from a

maximum of about 18 seconds between cycles, to

a cycle every one second. The delay intervals will

double in duration when the vehicle speed is

10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
Windshield Washers
To use the windshield washer, push the washer

knob, located on the end of the multifunction lever,

inward and hold. Washer fluid will be sprayed and

the wiper will operate for two to three cycles after

the washer knob is released.
If the washer knob pushed while in the delay range,

the wiper will operate for several seconds after the

washer knob is released. It will then resume the

intermittent interval previously selected. If the

washer knob is pushed while in the off position, the

wiper will turn on and cycle approximately three

times after the wash knob is released.

To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer

system in cold weather, select a solution or mixture

that meets or exceeds the temperature range of

your climate. This rating information can be found

on most washer fluid containers.

Mist
When a single wipe to clear off road mist or spray

from a passing vehicle is needed, push the washer

knob, located on the end of the multifunction lever,

inward briefly and release. The wipers will cycle

one time and automatically shut off.

NOTE:

The mist feature does not activate the washer

pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on
