Controls and features HOMELINKா UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (IF EQUIPPED) The HomeLink௡ Universal Transceiver, located on the driver's visor, provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held transmitters with a single built-in device. This feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters to operate garage doors, entry gates, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting. When programming your HomeLink௡ Universal Transceiver, to a garage door or gate be sure that people and objects are out of the way to prevent potential harm or damage. Do not use the HomeLink௡ Universal Transceiver 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 which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current U.S. federal safety standards. For more information on this matter, call toll-free: 1-800-355-3515 or on the Internet at HomeLink.jci.com. Programming Do not program the HomeLink௡ Universal Transceiver with the vehicle parked in the garage. 1. Prepare for programming the HomeLink௡ Universal Transceiver by erasing the three factory default codes by holding down the two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash after 20 seconds. Release both buttons. 2. Hold the end of your hand-held transmitter 5-14 cm (2-5 inches) away from the HomeLink௡ Universal Transceiver surface (located on your visor) while keeping the red light in view. 67
