Transceiver

Hand-held transmitter
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.

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).

Accessory Installation – Important Warning
•We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine,
Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory installations be
performed only by the factory-trained technicians at your authorized
Volvo retailer.
•Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the
performance, safety, and emission systems in your car. Additionally,
your authorized Volvo retailer knows where accessories may and may
not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult your
authorized Volvo retailer before installing any accessory in or on your
car.
•Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be
specifically tested for compatibility with your car. Additionally, an
inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car’s
systems.
•Any of your car’s performance and safety systems could be adversely
affected if you install accessories that Volvo has not tested, or if you
allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your car.
•Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories
may not be covered by your new car warranty. See your Warranty
and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty informa-
tion. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses
that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.
Driver Distraction
•Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly
related to controlling the car in the driving environment. Your new
Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment
and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular
telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems.
You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own
convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving
experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.
•For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning
that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your safety:
•Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that
distracts you from the task of driving safely. Distraction can lead to a
serious accident.
•In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance
regarding specific newer features that may be found in your vehicle:
•Never use a hand-held cellular telephone while driving. Some
jurisdictions prohibit cellular telephone use by a driver while the
vehicle is moving.
•If your car is equipped with a navigation system, set and make
changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle parked.
•Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving.
Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and use your pro-
grammed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.
•Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the
vehicle is moving.
A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or\
her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and others
sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.
