General
02
HomeLink is a programmable remote control
which can control up to three different devices
(e.g. garage door, alarm system, outdoor light-
ing and indoor lighting etc.) and in doing so
replace their remote controls. HomeLink is
supplied built into the left-hand sun visor.
The HomeLink panel consists of three pro-
grammable buttons and one indicator lamp.

Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
NOTE
HomeLink is designed not to work if the car
is locked from the outside.
Save the original remote controls for future
programming (e.g. when switching to
another car).
Delete the button programming when the
car is to be sold.
Metallic sun visors should not be used in
cars fitted with HomeLink . This may have
an adverse effect on its function.
Operation
When HomeLink is fully programmed it can be
used in place of the separate original remote
controls.
Depress the programmed button to activate
the garage door, alarm system etc. The indi-
cator lamp illuminates for the time that the but-
ton is kept depressed.
NOTE
If the ignition is not activated, HomeLink
will work for 30 minutes after the driver's
door has been opened.
The original remote controls can of course be
used in parallel with HomeLink .
WARNING
If HomeLink is used to operate a garage
door or gate, ensure that nobody is in the
vicinity of the door or gate while it is in
motion.
Do not use the HomeLink remote control
for any garage door that does not have
safety stop and safety reverse. The garage
door must react immediately when it
detects that something is preventing its
movement, and stop directly and reverse. A
garage door without these characteristics
could cause personal injury. For further
information - contact the supplier via the
Internet: www.homelink.com.
Programming for the first time
The first step erases the memory in
HomeLink and must not be carried out when
only one individual button is being reprogram-
med.
1. Depress the two outer buttons and do not
release until the indicator lamp starts to
flash after approx. 20 seconds. The flash-
ing indicates that HomeLink is set in
"learn mode" and is ready to be pro-
grammed.
2. Position the original remote control
5-30 cm from HomeLink . Monitor the indi-
cator lamp.
