HomeLinkUniversal transmitterApplies to vehicles: with HomeLinkDescription
The HomeLink universal transmitter can be programmed
to replace the hand-held controls of devices already in
use.The HomeLink universal transmitter allows you to conveniently acti-
vate garage doors, estate gates, security systems, home or office
lighting and other electric devices by means of control buttons
inside your car.
The single remote control unit that HomeLink provides will replace
up to three hand-held transmitters operating existing devices on
your property. This will be possible for most transmitters which
control the drive units for a garage door or external gates, etc.
Programming of the individual hand-held transmitters for your
remote control is done at the centre of the front bumper. This is
where the control unit is located.
To be able to control systems with HomeLink, you need to perform
initial programming on the HomeLink transmitter first. If systems
fail to respond after the initial programming, check whether these
systems work with a "rolling code" (variable security code)
⇒page 97.
WARNING
When you are programming the HomeLink universal transmitter,
make sure that no persons or objects are close to the devices
receiving the transmitter signals. If a gate or door is inadvertently
set into motion during programming, persons might be injured or
other damage caused by moving parts.
