Garage Door Two-Way Commu-
nication
HomeLink has the capability of commu-
nicating with your garage door opener.
HomeLink can receive and display clos-
ing or opening status messages from
compatible garage door opener systems.
At any time, HomeLink can also recall and
display the last recorded status commu-
nicated by the garage door opener to
indicate your garage door being closed
or opened .
HomeLink has the capability of receiving
this communication from the garage door
opener at a range up to 820 feet (250 m).
Instruments and controls/Mirrors
Range may be reduced by obstacles such
as houses or trees. You may have to slow
your vehicle speed to successfully receive
the garage door opener communication.
Programming Two-Way Commu-
nication
1) Status Indicators
Within five seconds after programming a
new HomeLink button, both of HomeLink s
garage door status indicators will flash
rapidly green indicating that the garage
door two-way communication has been
enabled. If your garage door status
indicators flashed, two-way communica-
tion programming is complete.
If the garage door status indicators do not
flash, additional HomeLink information
and programming videos can be found
