The HomeLink® Wireless Control Sys-
tem, located on the driver’s sun visor, is a
handy way to operate, from inside of your
vehicle, up to three remote-controlled in-
door and outdoor devices, such as garage
door openers, entran ce gates, door locks,
home lighting, and security systems.
There are three HomeLink® buttons on
the sun visor, each of which you can pro- gram for operation of one desired device.
For details on the device types which can
be operated by this system, consult the
HomeLink website at www.homelink.com
or call 1-800-355-3515.

HomeLink® Wireless Control Sys-
tem, you may be operating a ga-
rage door opener or other device.
Make sure that people and objects
are out of the way of the garage
door opener or other device to
prevent potential harm or dam-
age.
y Do not use the HomeLink® Wire-
less Control System with any ga-
rage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by applicable safety
standards. A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and re-
verse, does not meet these safety
standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases risk of serious injury or
death. For more information, con-
