3Your new mirror comes with an integrat-
ed HomeLink Universal Transceiver,
which allows you to program the mirror to
activate your garage door(s), estate gate,
home lighting, etc. The mirror actually
learns the codes from your various exist-
ing transmitters.
ProgrammingYour vehicle may require the ignition
switch to be turned to the ACC position
for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink. It is also recommended that a
new battery be replaced in the hand-held
transmitter of the device being pro-
grammed to HomeLink for quicker train-
ing and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency.
Follow these steps to train your
HomeLink mirror:
HOMELINK® WIRELESS CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
When programming the
HomeLink® Wireless Control
System, you may be operating a
garage door or gate operator.
Make sure that people and objects
are out of the way of the moving
door or gate to prevent potential
harm or damage.
(Continued)
(Continued)
Do not use HomeLink with anygarage door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety stan-
dards. (This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982.) A garage
door opener which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to
stop and reverse, does not meet
current federal safety standards.
Using a garage door opener with-
out these features increases risk
of serious injury or death. For
more information, call 1-800-355-
3515 or on the internet at
www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures
(i.e., new vehicle purchase). It is
also suggested that upon the sale
of the vehicle, the programmed
HomeLink buttons be erased for
security purposes (follow step 1
in the “Programming” portion of
this text).

3AUDIO SYSTEMUnderstanding Radio ReceptionYour vehicle's radio is able to receive AM
and FM transmissions. To optimize the
enjoyment of your vehicle's radio, you
should have a basic understanding of
how radio signals are transmitted and
received.
Radio signals (AM and FM) are broad-
cast from the transmitter towers of radio
stations in your vicinity. Your car radio
receives these signals through the radio
antenna. These signals received are
directed to the audio system where they
are processed, amplified and then con-
verted into sound that is emitted from the
audio system's speakers. The quality of the audio reproduction that
you hear depends on many factors. One
important factor is signal strength. A
clear and strong signal results in clear,
static-free sound. A weak signal normal-
ly results in garbled sound with frequent
breaks and also static. The radio anten-
na's ability to receive clear and strong
radio signals depends on how close it is
to the transmitting source and also
whether there are physical obstructions
(buildings or mountains) between the
transmitter and antenna. For example, if
you are driving away from the transmit-
ting source, you can expect gradual dete-
rioration in the quality of the reception.
AM mode Amplitude Modulation (AM) broadcasts
makes use of low-frequency radio waves
to carry the signals to your car antenna.
Low frequency radio waves typically trav-
el further and better than higher frequen-
cy radio waves (e.g. FM radio signals).
This means that, compared to FM broad-
casts, your car can travel further from an
AM transmitting source before you expe-
rience deterioration in signal strength
and clarity. One reason why AM radio
signals can travel further is because they
can 'bend' or 'go around' physical
obstructions in their path to your car
radio antenna.

FM mode Frequency Modulation (FM) broadcasts
make use of high-frequency radio waves
to carry the signals to your car antenna.
FM radio waves are best received in
'clear line-of-sight' conditions. Unlike low-
frequency radio waves that can 'bend'
around physical obstructions like build-
ings or mountains, FM radio signals are
easily blocked by physical obstructions
like buildings or mountains. Moreover,
FM radio signals cannot travel as far as
AM radio signals. Due to FM radio sig-
nals' short transmission range, you will
notice that FM stations generally serve
listeners within a restricted radius (typi-
cally within one city).The signal strength of a FM transmission
will probably fade soon after you leave
the city the station is based in. This is due
to the technological limitations of the FM
transmission standard and does not
mean that your radio is defective.
Comparing AM with FMDo remember that signal strength is only
one factor affecting audio reproduction
quality. AM broadcasts are in Mono mode
whereas FM broadcasts are in Stereo
mode. Therefore, provided that the FM
radio signal is strong and clear, the audio
reproduction quality of an FM broadcast
will always sound brighter, fuller and rich-
er than an AM broadcast. This is due to
the technological limitations of the AM
transmission standard and is does not
mean that your radio is defective.
