Precautions!

Before programming HomeLink to a garage door opener or gate operator, make sure that people and objects are out of the way

of the device to prevent potential harm or damage. When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the

garage. Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal

safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot

detect an object signaling the door to stop and reverse does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. It is also recommended

that a new battery be placed in the hand-held remote (garage door opener remote) of the device for quicker and more accurate

training. Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned on or to the “accessories” position for programming and/or

operation of HomeLink.

Keep the hand-held remote (garage door opener remote) of the device you are programming for use in other vehicles as well as

for future HomeLink programming. It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be

erased for security purposes. Refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons”.

Programming a New HomeLink Button

1. Press and release the HomeLink button that you would like to program.

The HomeLink indicator light will ash orange slowly (if not, refer to “Erasing

HomeLink Buttons.”)

2. Position the hand-held remote (garage door opener remote) 1 – 3 inches (2 – 8

cm) away from the HomeLink button that you would like to program.

Note: Some hand-held remotes (garage door opener remotes) may actually

train better at a distance of 6 – 12 inches (15 – 20 cm). Keep this in mind if you

have diculty with the programming process.

3. While the HomeLink indicator light is ashing orange, press and hold the hand-

held remote button. Continue pressing the hand-held remote button until the

HomeLink indicator light changes from orange to green. You may now release

the hand-held remote button.

Note: Some devices may require you to replace this “Programming a New

HomeLink Button” step 3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator /

Canadian Programming” section.
