Do not use for extended periods of time
with the engine stopped. This could re-
sult in a discharged battery.
The light on the vanity mirror will turn on when
the cover on the vanity mirror is opened.The Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter pro-
vides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held
transmitters into one built-in device.
IThe Integrated HomeLinkTransmitter will
operate garage doors, gates, home/
office lighting systems and security sys-
tems by storing and transmitting the pro-
gramming information of your current hand-
held transmitters.
IThe Integrated HomeLink
Transmitter
is built-in and powered by your vehicle's
battery and charging system. No separate
batteries are necessary.
Do not use this Integrated HomeLinkTransmitter with any garage door
opener that lacks safety stop and re-
verse features as required by federal
safety standards (these standards be-
came effective for models manufactured
after April 1, 1982). A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object in
the path of a closing garage door and
then automatically stop and reverse the
door, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
