GARAGE DOOR OPENER
INTRODUCTION

HomeLink Wireless Control System

The universal garage door opener replaces
the common handheld garage door opener
with a three-button transmitter integrated
into the driver-side sun visor.

E18821

E1882111

How Does The Garage Door Opener
Work

The system includes two primary features, a
garage door opener and a platform for
remote activation of devices within the home.
You can program garage doors as well as
entry gate operators, security systems, entry
door locks and home or office lighting.

Additional assistance can be found online at

www.homelink.com/Ford

or by calling the

toll-free help line at 1-800-355-3515.

Garage Door Opener Limitations

Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to time out, or quit, after
several seconds – which may not be long
enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal.
U.S. gate operators time-out in the same
manner.

GARAGE DOOR OPENER
PRECAUTIONS AND
FREQUENCIES

Garage Door Opener Precautions

WARNING:

Do not use the system

with any garage door opener that does not

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.

Note:

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.

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING:

Extended idling at high

engine speeds can produce very high
temperatures in the engine and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire or other
damage.

WARNING:

Do not park, idle or drive

your vehicle on dry grass or other dry
ground cover. The emission system heats
up the engine compartment and exhaust
system, creating the risk of fire.

WARNING:

Do not start the engine

in a closed garage or in other enclosed
areas. Exhaust fumes are toxic. Always
open the garage door before you start the
engine. Failure to follow this instruction
could result in personal injury or death.

WARNING:

Exhaust leaks may result

in entry of harmful and potentially lethal
fumes into the passenger compartment. If
you smell exhaust fumes inside your
vehicle, have your vehicle inspected
immediately. Do not drive if you smell
exhaust fumes.

If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle
may exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics for approximately 6 mi (10 km)
after you reconnect it. This is because the
engine management system must realign
itself with the engine. You can disregard any
unusual driving characteristics during this
period.

The powertrain control system meets all
Canadian interference-causing equipment
standard requirements regulating the
impulse electrical field or radio noise.

When you start the engine, avoid pressing
the accelerator pedal before and during
operation. Only use the accelerator pedal
when you have difficulty starting the engine.

KEYLESS STARTING
