Gate operator/Canadian 
Programming

Canadian radio-frequency laws require 
transmitter signals to "time-out"(or quit) 
after several seconds of transmission - 
which may not be long enough for 
HomeLink 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.

If you live in Canada or you are having 
difficulties programming a gate operator 
by using the "Programming" procedures 
(regardless of where you live),

 replace 

"Programming HomeLink" step 3 

with 

the following:

3. Continue to press and hold the 

HomeLink button while you

 press and 

release - every two seconds 

("cycle") 

your hand-held transmitter until the 
frequency signal has successfully been 
accepted by HomeLink. (The indicator 
light will flash slowly and then 
rapidly.)

Proceed with "Programming" step 4 to 
complete.

Operating the HomeLink System

Press the programmed HomeLink button 
to operate a programmed device. The 
code will continue being transmitted for a 
maximum of 20 seconds.

▼

Reprogramming the HomeLink 
system

To program a device to HomeLink using a 
HomeLink button previously trained, 
follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink 

button.

 DO NOT

 release the button.

2. The indicator light will begin to flash 

after 20 seconds. Without releasing the 
HomeLink button, proceed with 
"Programming" - step 2.

Erasing Programmed HomeLink 
Buttons

To erase the existing programming from 
all three operating channels, press and 
hold the two outside buttons (

, 

) 

on the auto-dimming mirror until the 
HomeLink indicator light begins to flash 
after approximately 20 seconds.
Verify that the programming has been 
erased when you resell the vehicle.

NOTE

If programming a garage door opener 
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug 
the device during the "cycling" process 
to prevent possible overheating.
