system but of a HomeLink®-compatible
device.
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.

rage door opener or other device.
Make sure that people and objects
are out of the way of the garage

standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features in-
creases risk of serious injury or
death. For more information, con-
