2001 Acura RL light

HomeLink Universal Transmitter
Canadian Owners:

The remote control you are training from may stop transmitting after twoseconds. This is not long enough for
the HomeLink transmitter to learn
the code. Release and press the
button on the remote control every
two seconds until the transmitter has
learned the code.
5. The red light in the transmitter should begin flashing. It will flash
slowly at first, then rapidly.
6. When the red light flashes rapidly, release both buttons. The
transmitter should have learned
the code from the remote control.
7. Plug in the garage door opener motor, then test the transmitter
button by pushing it. It shouldoperate the garage door.
If the button does not work, repeat
this procedure to train it again. If it still does not work, you may have a
variable or rolling code garage door opener. Test this by pressing
and holding the HomeLink
transmitter button you just trained. If the red light blinks for two
seconds, then stays on, you have a
rolling code garage door opener.
You may be able to verify this with the manufacturer's documentation. Go to 'Training With a Rolling
Code System."
8. Repeat these steps to train the other two transmitter buttons to
operate any other remotely-
controlled devices around your
home (lighting, automatic gate, security system, etc.).
Training With a Rolling Code
System

For security purposes, newer garagedoor opening systems use a "rolling"
or variable code. Information from
the remote control and the garage door opener are needed before the
HomeLink transmitter can operate
the garage door opener.
The "Training the Transmitter" procedure trains the HomeLink
transmitter to the proper garagedoor opener code. The following
procedure synchronizes the
HomeLink transmitter to the garage door opener so they send and
receive the correct codes.

Driving Position Memory System

Your Acura has a memory feature for the steering wheel, driver's seat, and outside mirror positions.
Two seat, steering wheel, and outside mirror positions for different
drivers or driving conditions can be
stored in separate memories. You

pushing the appropriate button.
Storing a Driving Position in Memory

Store a driving position as explained
in this section only when the car is
parked.
1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II). You cannot add a new drivingposition in the memory unless the
ignition switch is ON (II). You canrecall a memorized position with
the ignition switch in any position.
2. Adjust the seat to a comfortable position (see page 94). Adjust
the steering wheel to acomfortable position (see page
71).

Adjust the outside mirrors for best visibility (see page 99). 3. Press and release the MEMO

MEMO BUTTON

Driving Position Memory System

Doing any of the following after
pressing the MEMO button will cancel the storing procedure. Not pressing a memory button
within 5 seconds. Readjusting the seat or steering
position. Readjusting the outside mirror
position.
Each memory button stores only one driving position. Storing a new
position erases the previous setting stored in that button's memory. If
you want to add a new position while retaining the current one, use the
other memory button.
All stored driving positions will be lost if your car's battery goes dead or
is disconnected.
Selecting a Memorized Position

You can select memorized positions as follows.
1. Make sure the parking brake is set and the shift lever is in Park.
2. Insert the key in the ignition switch. If you do not insert the key
in the ignition switch, the steering
wheel will not adjust to the memorized position until you do. 3. Press the desired memory button
(1 or 2) until you hear a beep, then
release the button.
The system will move the seat, steering wheel and outside mirrors
to the memorized positions. The indicator light in the selected
memory button will flash during
movement. When the adjustments
are complete, you will hear two
beeps and the indicator light will remain on.

Seat Heaters, Ski Sleeve

The HI or LO indicator lights and remains lit until you turn it off by
pushing the opposite side of theswitch lightly. The indicator will turn

off.
In HI, the heater turns off when the

seat gets warm, and turns back on
after the seat's temperature drops. It
continues to cycle as long as you
leave it set on HI. The HI indicator
remains lit as a reminder that you
have the heater on.
In LO, the heater runs continuously.It does not cycle with temperature

changes.

Because of the sensors for the side
airbag system, there is no heater in
the passenger's seat-back. Follow these precautions whenever
you use the seat heaters: Use the HI setting only to heat the
seats quickly. Select the LO
setting when the seats feel warm.
The HI setting draws large amounts of current from the
battery. Do not use the seat heaters, even
on the LO setting, if the engine is
left idling for an extended period.
They can weaken the battery, causing hard starting.
Ski Sleeve

The ski sleeve allows you to carry skis or other long objects safely
without soiling or damaging the
interior of your car. It attaches to the
trunk pass-through.
KNOB
To use the ski sleeve: 1. Pull down the rear seat armrest. Open the trunk pass-through
cover by sliding the knob down-
ward and pulling on the cover.
