GARAGE DOOR OPENER INTRODUCTION
HomeLink Wireless Control System
The universal garage door opener replaces the common handheld garage door opener with a three-button transmitter integrated into the driver-side sun visor.
How Does The Garage Door Opener Work
The system includes two primary features, a garage door opener and a platform for remote activation of devices within the home. You can program garage doors as well as entry gate operators, security systems, entry door locks and home or office lighting.
Additional assistance can be found online at www.homelink.com/Ford or by calling the toll-free helpline at 1-800-355-3515.
Garage Door Opener Limitations
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to time out, or quit, after several seconds – which may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal. U.S. gate operators time out in the same manner.
GARAGE DOOR OPENER PRECAUTIONS AND FREQUENCIES
Garage Door Opener Precautions
 WARNING: Do not use the system with any garage door opener that does not have the safety stop and reverse feature as required by U.S. Federal Safety Standards (this includes any garage door opener manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases the risk of serious injury or death. |
FCC and RSS-210 Industry Canada Compliance
| WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressively approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. The term “IC:” before the radio certification number only signifies that Industry Canada technical specifications were met. |
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End Users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This transmitter must be at least 8 in (20 cm) from the user and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
PROGRAMMING THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER
To clear all stored codes in the garage door opener in your vehicle, use the clear function. To override one button, use the reprogramming function.
Note: Make sure that the garage door and security device are free from obstruction when you are programming. Do not program the system with the vehicle in the garage.
Clearing the Garage Door Opener
To clear all stored codes in the garage door opener in the vehicle:
- Press and hold the outer two function buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds until the indicator above the buttons flashes rapidly.
- When the indicator flashes, release the buttons.
Note: This clears all stored codes. You cannot erase individual buttons.
Note: You can program a maximum of three devices. To change or replace any of the three devices after they have been initially programmed, you must either clear all codes, or reprogram each individual button.
Note: We recommend that upon the sale or lease termination of your vehicle, you erase the programmed function buttons for security reasons.
Reprogramming the Garage Door Opener
If a button on your garage door opener has already been programmed, you can override it. To program a device to a previously trained button:
- Press and hold the desired button for approximately 20 seconds until the indicator begins to flash.
- Without releasing the button, proceed to Step 3 of Programming the Garage Door Opener to your Handheld Transmitter.
Programming the Garage Door Opener to your Handheld Transmitter
Note: The programming steps below assume you are programming a HomeLink that was not previously programmed. If your HomeLink was previously programmed, you may need to clear or reprogram your HomeLink buttons.
Note: Put a new battery in the handheld transmitter. This allows for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
Note: Make sure that the garage door and security device are free from obstruction when you are programming. Do not program the system with the vehicle in the garage.
To program your in-vehicle HomeLink function button with your handheld transmitter:
- With your vehicle parked outside of the garage, switch your vehicle on, but do not start your vehicle.
- Press and release one of the three HomeLink function buttons that you would like to program.
Note: The indicator should begin to flash. If the indicator does not flash, press and hold the function button for 20 seconds until the indicator begins to flash.
- Hold your handheld garage door transmitter 2–8 cm away from the HomeLink button you want to program.
- Press and hold the handheld transmitter button you want to program while watching the indicator on HomeLink. Continue to hold the handheld button until the HomeLink indicator flashes rapidly or is continuously on.
Note: You may need to use a different method if you live in Canada or have difficulties programming your gate operator or garage door opener.
- Press and hold the HomeLink button you programmed for two seconds, then release. You may need to do this twice to activate the door.
Note: If the indicator stays on, the programming is complete.
Note: If the HomeLink indicator flashes rapidly, repeat Step 5.
Note: If your device still does not operate, you must program your garage door.
- To program additional buttons, repeat Steps 1–4.
Note: Make sure you keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future system programming.
Programming the Garage Door Opener to your Garage Door Opener Motor
Note: Make sure that the garage door and security device are free from obstruction when you are programming. Do not program the system with the vehicle in the garage.
- Press the learn button on the garage door opener motor and then you have 30 seconds to complete the next two steps.
- Return to your vehicle.
- Press and hold one of the three HomeLink function buttons you want to program for two seconds, then release.
- Repeat Step 3. Depending on your brand of garage door opener, you may need to repeat this sequence a third time.

Programming the Garage Door Opener to your Gate Opener Motor
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.
Note: If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised that you unplug the device during the cycling process to prevent possible overheating.
- Press and release your handheld transmitter, every two seconds, until the HomeLink indicator flashes rapidly or is continuously on.
- Release the handheld transmitter button.
- Press and hold the HomeLink function button you want to program for two seconds, then release. You may need to do this twice to activate the door.
Note: If the indicator stays on, the programming is complete.
Note: If the HomeLink indicator flashes rapidly, repeat Step 3.
- To program additional buttons, repeat Steps 1–4.
