WARNING
HomeLink®24 is a programmable remote con-
trol, integrated in the vehicle electrical sys-
tem, that can control up to three different
devices (e.g. garage door opener, alarm sys-
tem, outdoor and indoor lighting) and thereby
replace the remote controls for these.
No person or object should be behind the
tow truck when the vehicle is lifted onto
the bed of the truck.

The towing eyelet is only intended for tow-
ing on roads, and must not be used to pull
vehicles from ditches or any similar pur-
pose involving severe strain. Call a tow
truck for professional assistance.
Save the original remote controls for future
programming (e.g. for use in another vehicle).
It is also advisable to delete the button pro-
gramming if the vehicle is sold.

Programming HomeLink®*25
Follow these instructions to program
HomeLink®, reset all programming, or pro-
gram individual buttons.
1. Point the remote control at the
HomeLink® button to be programmed and
hold it about 2-8 cm (1-3 inches) from the
button. Do not obstruct the HomeLink®
indicator light.
3. Do not release the buttons until the indica-
tor light has stopped flashing slowly
(about once a second) and either flashes
quickly (about 10 times a second) or
glows steadily.
> If the indicator light glows steadily:
Indication that programming is com-
plete. Press the programmed button
twice to activate.
Note: Some remote controls are more
effective at programming HomeLink® from
a distance of about 15-20 cm (6-12
inches). Keep this in mind if you experi-
ence any programming difficulties.
In some vehicles, the ignition must be on
or in the "accessory position" before
HomeLink® can be programmed or used. It
can be a good idea to put new batteries in
the remote control being replaced by
HomeLink® for faster programming and
better radio signal transmission. The
HomeLink® buttons should be reset before
programming.
If the indicator light flashes quickly:
The device being programmed with
HomeLink® may have a security func-
tion that requires an extra step. Try
pressing the programmed button twice
to see whether the programming
works. Otherwise, continue with the
following steps.
2. Press and hold both the remote control
button and the HomeLink® button to be
programmed.
WARNING
While HomeLink® is being programmed,
the garage door or gate being programmed
may be activated. Make sure that no one is
near the door or gate during programming.
When programming a garage door opener,
it is advised to park outside of the garage.
