Programming HomeLink®*36
Follow these instructions to program
HomeLink®, reset all programming or repro-
gram individual buttons.
1. Aim the remote control towards the
HomeLink® button to be programmed and
hold it approx. 2-8 cm (approx. 1-3 inches)
from the button. Do not obstruct the indi-
cator lamp on HomeLink®.
3. Do not release the buttons until the indica-
tor lamp has switched from flashing
slowly (approx. once per second) to either
flashing quickly (approx. 10 times per sec-
ond) or illuminating with a constant glow.
> If the indicator lamp illuminates with
a constant glow: Indication that the
programming has finished. Press the
programmed button twice to activate.
Note: The ability of some remote controls
to program HomeLink® is improved at a
distance of approx. 15-20 cm (approx.
6-12 inches). Bear this in mind if problems
occur with the programming.
In certain vehicles the ignition must be
switched on or in "accessory position"
before HomeLink® can be programmed or
used. If possible, fit new batteries in the
remote control that shall be replaced by
HomeLink® for faster programming and
improved transmission of the radio signal.
The HomeLink® buttons should be reset
before programming.
If the indicator lamp flashes quickly:
The device to be programmed to
HomeLink® may have a security func-
tion that requires extra steps. Test by
pressing the programmed button twice
to see whether the programming is
working. Otherwise, continue with the
following steps.
2. Press and hold depressed both the button
on the remote control and the button to be
reprogrammed on HomeLink®.
WARNING
While programming HomeLink®, the
garage door or gate being programmed
may activate. For this reason, make sure
that nobody is in the vicinity of the door or
gate while programming is in progress. The
car should be outside the garage while a
garage door opener is being programmed.

1. Press the desired button and hold it
depressed for approx. 20 seconds.
Once the indicator lamp on HomeLink®
starts to flash slowly, programming can
continue as normal.
2.
4. Locate programming button37 on the
receiver for the garage door or similar. It is
normally located close to the antenna's
bracket on the receiver.
Note: If the button to be reprogrammed is
not programmed with a new unit, it will
resume the previously saved program-
ming.
5. Depress and release the receiver's pro-
gramming button once. The programming
