Programming and Information Guide

The following is suggested text to be included in the vehicle Owner’s Manual, to assist the End

User with functionality of their HomeLink Device. Italicized text is not intended to be part of the

manual text, just provided for clarification only.

The HomeLink Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-

held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage

door openers, entry door locks, security systems, even home lighting. Additional HomeLink

information can be found at www.HomeLink.com

, www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex, or by

calling the toll-free HomeLink-Hotline at 1-800-355-3515

Before Programming HomeLink

During programming, it is possible that garage doors, gates, or other devices may

operate. For this reason, make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door

or other devices to prevent injury or other potential harm.

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 recommended that a new battery be placed in the remote control transmitter for more

accurate programming.

Garage door opener motors manufactured after 1995 may be equipped with rolling code

protection. If this is the case, you may need a stepladder or other sturdy, safe device to

reach the “Learn” or “Smart” button on the garage door motor.

Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other

vehicles as well as for future HomeLink programming.

It is suggested that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed

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

later in these instructions.

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 HomeLink Buttons’ or ‘Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button’ later in

these instructions.

Please note that the instructions below apply to the majority of HomeLink use cases. However,

there are some HomeLink applications or HomeLink compatible systems that require slightly

different instructions.
