If the HomeLink system set in this way
does not operate, this may be due to the
fact that the original portable remote
control is equipped with an alternative
code (see the "Alternative code
synchronisation" paragraph).
If necessary, the original portable remote
control may always be used to operate
the system.
ALTERNATIVE CODE
SYNCHRONISATION
To check whether the garage door or gate
motor has an alternative code, proceed
as follows:
consult the garage door or gate motor
manufacturer manual;
the portable remote control seems to
have programmed the HomeLink but the
garage door or gate can be neither
opened nor closed;
press the programmed button and
keep it pressed (1, 2 or 3).
With an alternative code system the LED
4 flashes rapidly briefly and then remains
off for two seconds. This sequence is
repeated for 20 seconds.
For the HomeLink to work properly it
needs the programmed alternative code
to be synchronised with the device
system (door, gate or other).
IMPORTANT When synchronising the
system, make sure that there are no
persons or things near doors or gates as
their movement could cause injury.

IMPORTANT The car must be within
range of the motor. Activate the
handbrake and turn the ignition device to
ON without starting the engine.
Proceed as follows:
locate the setting button on the top
part of the garage door or gate motor.
The colour and position may vary
depending on the manufacturer (consult
the motor manual);
press the motor setting button (this
normally activates the setting warning
light). Carry out operation 2 and start
operation 3 within 30 seconds;
Press the programmed key (1, 2 or 3)
and release it. Press the programmed
button a second time and release it to
conclude the operation. For some motors,
the operation will probably have to be
repeated a third time to end the setting.
The motor should now be capable of
recognizing the signal transmitted by the
HomeLink and then open/close the door
or gate.
PROGRAMMING A SINGLE KEY
It is possible to program another original
remote control on an already
programmed HomeLink key by cancelling
the previously stored frequency.
IMPORTANT When programming the
system, make sure that there are no
persons or things near doors or gates as
their movement could cause injury.
IMPORTANT Activate the handbrake and
turn the ignition device to ON without
starting the engine.
Proceed as follows:
press the desired HomeLink button
and keep it pressed (1, 2 or 3). Do not
release the button until the last
operation has been performed;
when the HomeLink LED 4 begins to
flash slowly, move the portable remote
control 1 to 3 inches from the sun visor
(keeping the button to be programmed
pressed down).
If led 4 does not begin to flash quickly,
retry by altering the gap between the
HomeLink and the portable remote
control (move it slightly further away). If
after performing the procedure again, the
led continues to flash slowly, repeat the
operation, altering the HomeLink -
remote control distance slightly.
the HomeLink LED 4 flashes, first
slowly and then quickly. When the LED
starts to flash quickly, release both
buttons on the remote control.
In this way, the system previously
programmed on the HomeLink has now
been deleted and the new system is
ready to use. This does not affect the
other two HomeLink keys in any way.
DELETING PROGRAMMED KEYS
It is recommended to delete the
HomeLink programming before selling
the car.
