Garage Door Opener
Garage Door Transceiver
Warning: Do not use the transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by safety standards.
When programming the transceiver to a garage door opener or entry gate, ensure the area is clear. This will prevent potential harm or damage as the gate or garage door will activate during the programme.
This device may suffer from interference if operated in the vicinity of a mobile or fixed station transmitter. This interference is likely to affect the hand-held transmitter as well as the in-car transceiver.
The door transceiver is located in the rear-view mirror. It can be programmed to transmit the radio frequencies of up to three different transmitters, which can be used to operate garage doors, entry gates, home lighting, security systems, or other radio frequency operated devices.
Although this section mainly describes the procedures for a garage door opener, it equally applies to the previously mentioned applications.
In some countries, this feature is also known as the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.
For further information, see 51, Information and Assistance.
Before Programming
When programming a device that may require you to press and re-press the hand-held transmitter (cycle), unplug the device during the cycling process to prevent possible motor failure.
For best results, fit a new battery to the hand-held transmitter of the garage door opener (or other device) before programming.
If your garage door opener receiver (located in the garage) is equipped with an antenna, ensure that the antenna is hanging straight down.
Programming
With the engine switched off:
- Ensure that the ignition system is on.
- Hold the end of the original garage door opener hand-held transmitter 50 to 150 mm (2 to 6 inches) away from the transceiver in the rear-view mirror, keeping the indicator lamp in view.
- Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both the chosen transceiver button on the rear-view mirror and the hand-held transmitter button. Keep both buttons pressed. The indicator lamp will flash slowly at first and then change to a fast flash. When the indicator lamp flashes rapidly, release both buttons. Rapid flashing indicates successful programming.
- If after 60 seconds the indicator lamp does not flash rapidly, release both buttons and repeat the procedure starting from Step 2. Position the hand-held transmitter at a different angle and/or distance.
Garage Door Opener Operation
Press and hold the programmed garage door opener button and observe the indicator lamp:
- If the indicator lamp is continuous, programming is complete and the device should operate when the button is pressed and held for approximately 1 to 2 seconds and then released.
- If the indicator lamp blinks rapidly for two seconds and then illuminates continuously, proceed with rolling code device programming.
To Erase All Programming
For first-time programming, ensure the engine is switched off:
- Ensure that the ignition is on (engine switched off).
- Press and hold the two outer buttons on the transceiver in the rear-view mirror until the indicator lamp begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds), then release the buttons.
All memories in the garage door opener have now been cleared.
Note: Do not perform this procedure when programming additional garage door opener buttons.
Rolling Code Device Equipment Programming
Note: Assistance from a second person may make the following steps quicker and easier. Once the button has been pressed, there are only 30 seconds to complete Step 3.
- At the garage door opener receiver (motor head unit), locate the learn or smart button/switch.
- Press and release the learn or smart button.
- Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the programmed garage door opener button for two seconds and release.
- Repeat the press, hold, and release sequence three times to complete the programming process.
The garage door opener in the rear-view mirror should now activate the rolling code device.
Reprogramming a Single Garage Door Opener Button
- Press and hold the desired pre-programmed garage door opener button for at least 20 seconds, but no longer than 30 seconds, until the indicator lamp begins to flash.
- Without releasing the rear-view mirror button, position the hand-held transmitter approximately 50 to 150 mm (2 to 6 inches) away from the transceiver, keeping the indicator lamp in view.
- Carry out Step 3 of the Programming procedure.
