Radio frequency information The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission(CRTC) establish the frequencies AM and FM stations may use for their broadcasts. Allowable frequencies are: AM 530, 540–1600, 1610 kHz FM 87.7, 87.9–107.7, 107.9 MHz Not all frequencies are used in a given area. Radioreceptionfactors Three factors can affect radio reception: † Distance/strength. The further an FM signal travels, the weaker it is. The listenable range of the average FM station is approximately 40 km

90

Controls and features

(24 miles). This range can be affected by “signal modulation.” Signal modulation is a process radio stations use to increase their strength/volume relative to other stations.

† Terrain. Hills, mountains and tall buildings between your vehicle’s antenna and the radio station signal can cause FM reception problems. Static can be caused on AM stations by power lines, electric fences, traffic lights and thunderstorms. Moving away from an interfering structure (out of its “shadow”) returns your reception to normal.

† Station overload. Weak signals are sometimes captured by stronger signals when you pass a broadcast tower. A stronger signal may temporarily overtake a weaker signal and play while the weak station frequency is displayed.

The audio system automatically switches to single channel reception if it will improve the reception of a station normally received in stereo.

Audio system warranties and service Refer to the Warranty Guide for audio system warranty information. If service is necessary, see your dealer or a qualified technician.

HOMELINKT UNIVERSAL TRANSCEIVER (IF EQUIPPED) The HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver, located on the overhead console, 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 gate operators, security systems, entry door locks, and home or office lighting.

When programming your HomeLinkt 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.

103

Controls and features

Do not use the HomeLinkt 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, contact HomeLinkt at: www.homelink.com or 1–800–355–3515. Retain the original transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future programming procedures (i.e. new HomeLinkt equipped vehicle purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed Homelinkt Universal Transceiver buttons be erased for security purposes, refer to Programming in this section.

Programming Do not program the HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver with the vehicle parked in the garage. Note: Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the second (or “ACC”) position for programming and/or operation of the HomeLinkt. It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkt for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. 1. Press and hold the two outside buttons releasing only when the red light begins to flash after 20
seconds. Do not repeat step one to program additional hand-held transmitters to the remaining two HomeLinkt buttons. This will erase previously programmed hand-held transmitter signals into HomeLinkt. 2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 2–8 cm (1–3 inches) away from the HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver surface (located on your overhead console) while keeping the red light in view.

3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLinkt and hand-held transmitter button. Do not release the buttons until step 4 has been completed. Some entry gates and garage door openers may require you to replace step 3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator and Canadian Programming” section for Canadian residents. 4. The red light will flash slowly and then rapidly. Release both buttons when the red light flashes rapidly. (The rapid flashing light indicates acceptance of the hand-held transmitters’ radio frequency signals.) 5. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkt button and observe the red light. If the light is a constant red, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLinkt button is pressed and released. Note: To program the remaining two HomeLinkt buttons, begin with step 2 in the “Programming” section — do not repeat step 1. If the red light blinks rapidly for two seconds and then turns to a continuous red, proceed with steps 6 through 8 to complete programming of a rolling code equipped device. 6. At the garage door opener receiver (motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button (usually near where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the unit). 7. Press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.) Note: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate step eight. 8. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the HomeLinkt button. Repeat the press/hold/release sequence again, and, depending on the brand of the garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped device), repeat this sequence a third time to complete the programming. HomeLinkt should now activate your rolling code equipped device. To program additional HomeLinkt buttons begin with step 2 in the “Programming” section.
