2012 CLS Homelink Instructions

Had a time programing the Garage opener. Had to call homelink and get these instruction. The directions are a little different than what is in the handbook.


1. With the vehicle ignition in the ON position, press and hold the desired HomeLink button until the indicator light turns yellow.
2. Release the HomeLink button. The indicator light will continue to flash yellow.
3. Hold the original handheld transmitter for the gate or garage door opener (or other device) that you wish to train within 3 inches of the HomeLink button. Press and hold the button on the remote until the HomeLink indicator light turns green, either solid or flashing.
4. Release the handheld transmitter button.
5. If the HomeLink indicator light is solid, HomeLink should operate the door and programming is complete.
6. If the HomeLink indicator light is flashing, press and release the “learn” or “smart” button on the garage door opener receiver (motorhead unit).
7. Return to the vehicle and press, hold for 3 seconds, and release the trained HomeLink button. Perform this process up to three times.
8. The device should operate with the HomeLink button and programming is complete.


Clearing the HomeLink buttons:
1. With the vehicle ignition in the ON position, press and hold the 2 outside HomeLink buttons. The light will illuminate yellow, then change to green after several seconds. Release the HomeLink buttons. The buttons are now erased.
