1, 2, 3 - Programmable buttons
A- Light-emitting diode for status identificationHomeLinkThe programmable HomeLink replaces up to three
original hand-held transmitters used to operate
various devices (e.g. garage door, gate to the
property, alarm system).
You can program buttons 1 to 3 with a frequency
of an original handheld transmitter.
Warning!
Risk of accident when using the HomeLink if
persons, animals or objects are within the
range of movement of the equipment that is
being operated.
fWhen using the HomeLink, ensure that no
persons, animals or objects are within the
range of movement of the equipment that is
being operated.
fObserve the safety notes for the original hand-held transmitter.
Preconditions for operating and
programming the HomeLink:
– Ignition is switched on.
– Fog lights are switched off.
To operate the respective device:
fPress the appropriate button (1, 2 or 3).
Light-emitting diode A lights up during signal
transfer.Note on operation
fAlways use the HomeLink opener in the
direction of travel.
Otherwise, range restrictions cannot be ruled
out.
fBefore selling the vehicle, delete the
programmed signals of the HomeLink.
fPlease read the instructions for the original
hand-held transmitter to find out whether the
original transmitter is equipped with fixed or
changeable code.

Allocating signals to the buttonsfPlease follow the operating instructions for the
original hand-held transmitter.
Prior to programming the HomeLink for the
first time
The following process deletes the standard codes
set at the factory. Do not repeat the process if you
program further buttons.
fKeep the two outer buttons 1 and 3
depressed for approx. 20 seconds until light-
emitting diode A begins to flash quickly.
All programmed signals of buttons 1 to 3 are
deleted.HomeLink with fixed code system
1. Press the desired button until the light-emitting
diode begins to flash slowly.
You then have approx. 5 minutes to perform
steps 2 and 3.
2. Hold the original hand-held transmitter approx.
0 to 12 in. (0 to 30 cm) in front of the marked
position (figure) on the vehicle.
3. Press the transmit button on the original hand-
held transmitter until the fog lights flash three
times (up to approx. 45 seconds).
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to allocate other buttons.
Note
Several attempts with different distances between
the vehicle and the original hand-held transmitter
might be necessary.
The fog lights will flash once the 5 minutes have
been exceeded. Programming must be repeated
from the beginning in this case.HomeLink with changeable code system
1. Allocate the required keys as for the systems
with fixed code (steps 1 to 3).
2. To synchronise the system:
Press the programming button on the receiver
for the garage door actuator.
Afterwards, you usually have approx.
30 seconds to initiate step 3.
3. Press the allocated HomeLink button twice.
(With some devices, the button to be allocated
must be pressed a third time in order to
complete the setting process.)
4. Repeat the programming steps to allocate
other buttons.

if you have not been able to program the
buttons successfully even though you have
carefully followed the instructions in this
chapter and the operating instructions for the
original hand-held transmitter.
