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.

carefully followed the instructions in this 
chapter and the operating instructions for the 
original hand-held transmitter.

WindstopfMake sure that all windstop parts are fastened 
securely, especially when driving with the 
convertible top open.

to permit good ventilation of the interior or for 
demisting the rear window.
This is particularly the case in cold, wet weather. 
Removing outer windstop partsfPress windstop parts to the rear and up out of 
the roll-over bar and take it out.Installing outer windstop partsfFirst insert the windstop parts in the roll-over 
bar from the rear, then push it up into the bar.
fMake sure that the three plastic tongues A fully 
engage in the roll-over bar.
Removing central section of windstop 
parts fPress release buttons B and take out the 
windstop toward the rear. Installing center section of windstopfFirst insert the windstop in receiver C from the 
rear, then, one after the other, press forward 
until both upper mounts B engage audibly.
