UNIVERSAL GARAGE DOOR
OPENER

HomeLink Wireless Control System

WARNING: 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 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.

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 later in this section.

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.

E188211

The universal garage door opener replaces
the common hand-held garage door opener
with a three-button transmitter 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.
You can program garage doors as well as
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/user/HomeLinkGentex
or by calling the toll-free help line at
1-800-355-3515.

In-Vehicle Programming

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

Note: The programming steps below assume
you will be programming HomeLink that was
not previously programmed. If your
HomeLink was previously programmed, you
may need to erase your HomeLink buttons.
See Erasing the Function Button Codes.

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

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.

Erasing the Function Button Codes

Note: You cannot erase individual buttons.

E188213

1. Press and hold the outer two function

buttons simultaneously for approximately
10 seconds until the indicator light above
the buttons flashes rapidly.

2. When the indicator light flashes, release

the buttons. You erased the codes for all
buttons.

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.

12 VDC 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 V appliances
with a maximum current rating of 15 A.

Note: Do not hang any accessory from the
accessory plug.

Note: Do not use the power point over the
vehicle capacity of 12 V DC 15 A 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:
•

Do not use the power point longer than
necessary when the vehicle is not
running.

•

Do not leave devices plugged in
overnight or when you park your vehicle
for extended periods.

Locations

110 VAC Power Point

WARNING: Do not keep electrical

devices plugged in the power point
whenever the device is not in use. Do not
use any extension cord with the 110 volt
AC power point, since it will defeat the
safety protection design. Doing so may
cause the power point to overload due to
powering multiple devices that can reach
beyond the 150 watt load limit and could
result in fire or serious injury.

Note: The power point turns off when you
switch the ignition off, or when the battery
voltage drops below 11 volts.

You can use the power point for electric
devices that require up to 150 watts. It is on
the rear of the center console.

On: The power point is working, the
ignition is on and a device is plugged in.

•

Off: The power point is off, the ignition is
off or no device is plugged in.

•

Flashing: The power point is in fault
mode.

The power outlet temporarily turns off power
when in fault mode if the device exceeds the
150 watt limit. Unplug your device and
switch the ignition off. Switch the ignition
back on, but do not plug your device back
in. Let the system cool off and switch the
ignition off to reset the fault mode. Switch
