5. PROGRAMMING A ROLLING CODE SYSTEM
At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate
the “learn” or “training” button.

This can usually be found where the hanging antenna
wire is attached to the garage door opener motor (it is
NOT the button normally used to open and close the
door).

6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “training”
button. The name and color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.

NOTE:

There are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next

step after the “Learn” button has been pressed.

7. Return to the vehicle and press the programmed
HomeLink

威 button twice (holding the button for two

seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and
activates, programming is complete.

If the device does not activate, press the button a third
time (for two seconds) to complete the training.

If you are have any problems, or require assistance,
please call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at
www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance.

To program the remaining two HomeLink

威 buttons,

repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT
erase the channels.

Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig-
nals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of
transmission – which may not be long enough for
HomeLink

威 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.

It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling
process to prevent possible overheating of the garage
door or gate motor.

If you are having difficulties programming a garage door
opener or a gate operator, replace “Programming
HomeLink,” Step 3, with the following:

3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink

威 button,

while you press and release )“cycle”), your hand-held
transmitter every two seconds until HomeLink

威 has

successfully accepted the frequency signal. The indica-
tor(s) will change from a slow flash to a rapid flash
when trained.

If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in
at this time.

Then proceed with Step 4 under, “Programming
HomeLink

威,” earlier in this section.

Using HomeLink

姞

To operate, simply press and release the programmed
HomeLink

威 button. Activation will now occur for the

trained device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator,
security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting,
etc.) The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be
used at any time.

Reprogramming A Single HomeLink

姞 Button

To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained,
follow these steps:

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.

2. Press and hold the desired HomeLink

威 button for

20 seconds until the indicator(s) starts to flash. Do not
release the button.

3. Without releasing the button, proceed with Program-
ming Homelink

威, Step #2, and follow all remaining steps.

Security
It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn
in your vehicle.

To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for
20 seconds until the indicators begin to flash. Note that
all channels will be erased. Individual channels cannot be
erased.

The HomeLink

威 Universal Transceiver is disabled when

the Vehicle Theft Alarm is active.

Troubleshooting Tips
If you are having trouble programming HomeLink

威, here

are some of the most common solutions:

• Replace the battery in the original transmitter.
• Press the “Learn” button on the garage door opener to

complete the training for Rolling Code.

WARNING!

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving

unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Do not leave the key in
the ignition. A child could operate power win-
dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

• In an accident, there is a greater risk of being

thrown from a vehicle with an open sunroof. You
could also be seriously injured or killed. Always
fasten your seat belt properly and make sure all
passengers are properly secured too.

• Do not allow small children to operate the sun-

roof. Never allow your fingers, other body parts, or
any object to project through the sunroof opening.
Injury may result.

Open Sunroof — Express Mode
Momentarily pressing the switch rearward will activate
the Express Open Feature, causing the sunroof to open
automatically. During the Express Open operation, any
movement of the switch will stop the sunroof and it will
remain in a partial open position. Again, momentarily
pressing the switch rearward will activate the Express
Open Feature.

Closing Sunroof — Express
Press the switch forward and release, and the sunroof
will close automatically from any position. The sunroof
will close fully and stop automatically. This is called
Express Close. During Express Close operation, any
movement of the switch will stop the sunroof.

Pinch Protect Feature
This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of
the sunroof during Express Close operation. If an ob-
struction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the

160

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

sunroof will automatically retract. Remove the obstruc-
tion if this occurs. Next, press the switch forward and
release to Express Close.

Pinch Protect Override
If a known obstruction (ice, debris, etc.) prevents closing,
press the switch forward and hold for two seconds after
the reversal occurs. This allows the sunroof to move
towards the closed position.

NOTE:

Pinch protection is disabled while the switch is

pressed.

Venting Sunroof — Express
Press and release the

⬙V⬙ button, and the sunroof will

open to the vent position. This is called “Express Vent”,
and will occur regardless of sunroof position. During
Express Vent operation, any movement of the switch will
stop the sunroof.

Sunshade Operation
The sunshade can be opened instructionly. However, the
sunshade will open automatically as the sunroof opens.

NOTE:

The sunshade cannot be closed if the sunroof is

open.

Wind Buffeting
Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the
ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the
windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain
open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur-
rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with
the rear windows open, open the front and rear windows
together to minimize the buffeting. If the buffeting occurs
with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening to
minimize the buffeting or open any window.

163

CAUTION!

• Many accessories that can be plugged in draw

power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.

• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,

vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will discharge the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently and with greater caution.

• After the use of high power draw accessories, or

long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

The removable ash receiver is located in the instrument
panel cupholder tray.

The cigar lighter is located on the instrument panel,
above and to the left of the ash receiver.

As a child safety precaution, the lighter only operates
with the ignition switch ON. It heats when pushed in and
pops out automatically when ready for use. To preserve
the heating element, do not hold the lighter in the
heating position.
