Audi Homelink ® Uni versal Transm itter*
-� ....... ..
The Audi Homelink ® Un iversal Transm itter
is located on the driver's side sun visor.
This innovative feature will learn the radio
frequency codes of most current transmit­
ters used to activate garage doors, entry
door locks, estate gates, security systems,
and home or office lighting.
The Homelink ® Universal Transmitter is ca­
pable of operating up to three separately
controlled devices. The
Homelink ® operates off the vehicles
battery and charging system and has non­
volatile memory. If the battery dies or is dis­
connected, Homelink® will retain all pro­
gramming.
�W ARNING
When programming the Audi
Homelink® Universal Transm itter,
you may be operating a garage
door or estate gate. Make sure that
people and objects are out of the
way to prevent potential harm or
damage. Note
Do not
use this Audi Homelink®
Universal Transmitter with any ga­
rage 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 without
these features increases risk of seri­
ous injury or death.
For more information, call toll-free:
1 (800) 355-3515.
