WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause the driver's floor mat to slip, possibly interfering
with the pedals while driving. An unexpectedly high speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehicle. Th
is could lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■ When installing the driver's floor mat
● Do not use floor mats designed for ot her models or different model year
vehicles, even if they are SUBARU Genuine floor mats.
● Only use floor mats designed for the driver's seat.
● Always install the floor mat securely using the retaining hooks (clips) pro-
vided.
● Do not use two or more floor mats on top of each other.
● Do not place the floor mat bottom-side up or upside-down.
■ Before driving
●Check that the floor mat is securely
fixed in the correct place with all the
provided retaining hooks (clips). Be
especially careful to perform this check
after cleaning the floor.
● With the engine stopped and the select
lever in P (automatic transmission) or
shift lever in neutral (manual transmis-
sion), fully depress each pedal to the
floor to make sure it does not interfere
with the floor mat.

∗: If equipped
The HomeLink® Wireless Control System provides a convenient way
to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency remotes used to
activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry
door locks, security systems, even home lighting. The below steps
are generic programming instructions; for Genie and Sommer
garage door openers please go dir ectly to the HomeLink website.

Before programming HomeLink
●Before programming HomeLink to a garage door opener or gate
operator, make sure that people and objects are out of the way
of the device to prevent potential harm or damage.
● When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park
outside of the garage.
● Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks
safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. federal
safety standards (this includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot
detect an object signaling the door to stop and reverse does not
meet current U.S. federal safety standards.
● It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the
hand-held remote (garage door opener remote) of the device for
quicker and more accurate training.
● Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system:
Some vehicles may require the engine switch to be turned to the
“ACC” or “ON” position for programming and/or operation of
HomeLink.
● Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system:
Some vehicles may require the push-button ignition switch to be
turned to the “ACC” or “ON” mode for programming and/or oper-
ation of HomeLink.

Programming a New HomeLink Button
Press and release the HomeLink button that you would like to
program. The HomeLink indicator light will flash orange slowly
(if not, refer to “Erasing HomeLink Buttons” →P. 328).
Position the hand-held remote
(garage door opener remote) 1
to 3 in. (2 to 8 cm) away from the
HomeLink button that you would
like to program.
Some hand-held remotes (garage
door opener remotes) may actu-
ally train better at a distance of 6
to 12 in. (15 to 20 cm). Keep this
in mind if you have difficulty with
the programming process.
While the HomeLink indicator
light is flashing orange, press
and hold the hand-held remote
button. Continue pressing the
hand-held remote button until the
HomeLink indicator light
changes from orange to green.
You may now release the hand-
held remote button.
Some devices may require you to
replace this “Programming a New
HomeLink Button” with
procedures noted in the “Gate
Operator / Canadian Program-
ming” section. Refer to “Gate
Operator / Canadian Program-
ming”. ( →P. 327)

tions, additional HomeLink infor-

■ Gate Operator / Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter remote signals
to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission, which
may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate opera-
tors are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. The indicator
LED on the hand-held remote will go off when the device times out,
indicating that it has finished transmitting.
If you live in Canada or you are having difficulties programming a
gate operator or garage door opener by using the programming
procedures, replace “Programming a New HomeLink Button”
with the following:
While the HomeLink indicator light is flashing orange, press and
release (“cycle”) your device’s hand-held remote every two sec-
onds until the HomeLink indicator light changes from orange to
green. You may now release the hand-held remote button.
If programming a garage door opener or gate operator, it is advised to
unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent possible over-
heating.
Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” to com-
plete.

Using HomeLinkTo operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink but-
ton. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door
opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office
lighting, etc.). For convenience, the handheld remote of the device
may also be used at any time.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink ButtonTo program a previously trained button, follow these steps: Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT
release the button.
The indicator light will begin to slowly flash orange after 20
seconds. The HomeLink button can be released at this point.
Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” -.
If you do not complete the programming of a new device to
the button, it will revert to the previously stored programming.
Erasing HomeLink Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons (individual buttons can-
not be erased but can be “reprogrammed” as outlined below), follow
the step noted:
Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons for at least 10 sec-
onds. The LED indicator will change from continuously lit to rapidly
flashing. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than 20 sec-
onds. HomeLink is now ready to be programmed at any time begin-
ning with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” - .

Two-Way Communication
■ Garage Door Two-Way Communication
HomeLink has the capability of communicating with your garage door
opener. HomeLink can receive and display “closing” or “opening” sta-
tus messages from compatible garage door opener systems.
At any time, HomeLink can also recall and display the last recorded
status communicated by the garage door opener to indicate your
garage door being “closed” or “opened”.
HomeLink has the capability of receiving this communication from the
garage door opener at a range up to 820 ft. (250 m).Range may be
reduced by obstacles such as houses or trees. You may have to slow
your vehicle speed to successfully receive the garage door opener
communication.
■ Programming Two-Way Communication
Within five seconds after pro-
gramming a new HomeLink but-
ton, both of HomeLink’s garage
door status indicators will flash
rapidly green indicating that the
garage door two-way communi-
cation has been enabled. If your
garage door status indicators
flashed, two-way communica-
tion programming is complete.
If the garage door status indica-
tors do not flash, additional
HomeLink information and pro-
gramming videos can be found
online at www.HomeLink.com
and www.youtube.com/
HomeLinkGentex.
