Radio Data System (RDS, also referred to as RBDS) - HU-801 only
The HU -801 radio in your car is equipped with an advanced system allowing information from broadcasters to be
transmitted visually, as text, together with the audio signal. This information is then decoded by the radio and made
available for several new and unique features. The RDS or Radio Data System operates in the FM band only, and
the information transmitted is supplied exclusively by participating broadcasters. Volvo has no control over the
accuracy of the data or information. Please refer to the following pages regarding specific descriptions and operation
of these functions.
Volvo was among the first to pioneer this technology throughout Europe and it is slowly making its way to North
America. Coverage by local broadcasters may be limited at this time, but as the technology and benefits grow, you will
find the radio in your car is equipped to take advantage of this system.

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
pg. 151 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
HomeLink® Universal Transceiver
HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-
devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). HomeLink®'s sun visor-mounted transceiver,
powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your hand -held remote controls.
NOTE: As a security precaution, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if the car has
been locked from the outside .
Programming the transceiver
1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the HomeLink® Universal
Transceiver.
2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the
illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink®'s indicator light begins
to flash. Then release the buttons.
3. Hold your hand -held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the
HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-
800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand -held transmitter's button and the transceiver button you wish to
program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing tells you the HomeLink® button has
been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.
5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock), refer to
"Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process.
ProCarManuals.com

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons.
If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn your
hand -held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
pg. 152 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
WARNING!
If you use HomeLink® to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and
"reverse" features as required by federal safety standards. (This includes any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982) A garage door opener that cannot "detect" an object, signalling the door to
"stop" and "reverse" does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these
features increases the risk of serious injury or death. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355-
3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
NOTE - Canadian residents:
During programming, your hand -held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train
HomeLink®, continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your hand -held
transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink®
indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.
Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code
Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after
1996:
Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification.
If your hand -held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the programmed button
does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.
Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the HomeLink®
indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.
To train a rolling code garage door opener , follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver
button according to "Programming the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit . The location and color of the training button
may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.com
).
2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.
3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button a
second time to complete the training process.
Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.
The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener. The
original hand -held transmitter can also be used, as desired, to operate the garage door.
The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in
