Toyota Grand Highlander (AS10): Programming the HomeLink

■ Before programming HomeLink

  • During programming, it is possible that garage doors, gates, or other devices may operate. For this reason, make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or other devices to prevent injury or other potential harm.
  • It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the remote control transmitter for more accurate programming.
  • Garage door opener motors manufactured after 1995 may be equipped with rolling code protection. If this is the case, you may need a stepladder or other sturdy, safe device to reach the "Learn" or "Smart" button on the garage door opener motor.

■ Programming HomeLink

Steps 1 through 3 must be performed within 60 seconds, otherwise the HomeLink indicator light will stop flashing and programming will not be successfully completed.

1. Press and release the Home- Link button you want to program and check that the HomeLink indicator light flashes (orange).

2. Point the remote control transmitter for the device at the rear view mirror, 1 to 3 in. (25 to 75 mm) from the HomeLink buttons.

Keep the HomeLink indicator light in view while programming.
