& WARNING
Always make sure that the volume and frequency of the chimes is
adjusted so that you can easily hear the acoustic distance signal
even if the radio is playing, the air -conditioner blower is on High or
there is a high level of outside noise . Check the settings whenever
someone else has driven the vehicle before you. •

Homelink ®
Universal remote control
Applies to vehicles: w ith Home link® unive rsa l remo te cont rol
General information
The HomeLink® feature can learn up to three radio
frequency codes for most current transmitters used for
operating garage doors, estate gates, home or outdoor
lighting systems, and other devices.
You must first program the Homelink® transmitter before you can
use the
system=> page 191, "Programming the Homelink® trans­
mitter".
In order to program the Homelink® transmitter for devices utilizing
rolling code , a second person on a ladder who can safely reach the
garage door opener motor is recommended. It is also necessary to
locate the
"learn" button on your garage door opener motor . Refer
to the operating instructions for the opener, as the location and
color of this button may
vary by manufacturer.
You can still use the original remote control for the device at any
time.
& WARNING
• Never use the Homelink"" transmitter with any garage door
opener that does have not the safety stop and reverse feature as
required by federal safety standards. This includes any garage
door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
• A garage door opener which cannot detect an object, signaling
the door to stop and reverse does not meet current federal safety standards . Using a garage door opener without these features
increases risk of serious injury or death.
Controls and equip­ ment
& WARNING (continued)
• For safety reasons never release the parking brake or start the
engine while anyone is standing in front of the vehicle.
• A garage door or an estate gate may sometimes be set in
motion when the Homelink® remote control is being
programmed. If the device is repeatedly activated, this can over­
strain motor and damage its electrical components -an over­
heated motor is a fire hazard!
• To avoid possible injuries or property damage, please always
make absolutely certain that no persons or objects are located in
the range of motion of any equipment being operated. •

The transmitter is programmed in two phases. For rolling
code transmitters, a third phase is also necessary.

11 . Locate the "lea rn" button on the garage door opener
motor (refer to the operating instructio ns fo r the opener,
as the location of this button may vary by man ufacturer).
12 . Press and release the learn button on the garage door
opener motor .
-Not e: once the button is pressed, there are 30 sec ond s in
which to init iate the next step .
13. On the Homelink® keypad inside the vehicle, firmly press and hold the Home link® button previously
programmed in phases 1 and 2 for two seconds and
release . Repeat this sequence
twi ce.
- Some vehicles may require the press/ho ld/re lease
sequence up to three times to complete the training
process.
Homelink® should now activate your rolling code
equipped device.
If the 5 minute time limit is exceeded, the emer gen cy flas her s will
flas h one t im e to indicate that the process has been terminated. In
this case, repeat steps 4 through 9.
If the emergency flashers do not flash
three t imes (after about 15 -
60 seconds), programming was not successful. In this case, repeat
steps 4 through 9.
Remote control units for garage door openers in Canada are set to
stop transmitting radio frequency signa ls after two seconds. This
time may not be suffic ient for the Homelink® system to learn the
radio frequency signal. Perform a ll other steps as described
above. •

vidual components . It regulates consumption, so that more elec­
t rical energy is not be ing used than is be ing genera ted and ensures
an optimal state of charge for the battery .
[ i ] Tip s
• But even energy management cannot negate the limits of
physics. Consider that the power and life of a battery are limited.
• If starting ability is threatened, you are informed by a warning
~ page 275, "Driver notification in the instrument cluster
display" .•
What you should know
The highest priority is given to maintaining starting capa ­
bility.
T he battery is severely taxed in short -distance driving, in city traffic
and during t he co ld time of year . Abundant e lectrica l energy is
required, but on ly a little is generated . It is also critical if the engine
is not running and e lectrical components are turned on. In this
instance energy is being consumed but none is being generated .
I t is in precisely these situations that you wi ll notice energy manage ­
ment active ly regulating the d istr ibut ion of energy.
Vehicl e stands for an extended period
If you do not drive your vehicle over a per iod of several days or
weeks, electrica l components are gradually cut back or switched off.
This reduces energy consu mpt ion and maintains starting capability
over a longer period .
Be aware t hat when you unlock you r ve hicle, some o f the conve ­
nience functions may not operate, such as the Advanced Key, the
remote contro l or t he power seat adjustment. T he convenience
functions will be available again when you turn on the ignition and start the engine .
Controls and equip­
ment Safety first Vehicle operation With th
e engin e turned off
If you listen to the radio, for examp le, with t he engine tu rned off or
use other MMI functions, the battery is being discharged.
I f starting capabi lity is jeopardized due to energy consumption, the
f o llow ing warn ing appears in t he MMI display:
Ple ase start engine , other wise sy stem will s witch off in 3
minute s.
The warning indicates that the system wi ll be turned off au tomat i­
ca lly after 3 minutes. If you wish to continue using the functions,
you have to start the engine .
With the engine running
Although e lectrica l energy is generated when the vehic le is being
driven, the battery can become discharged. This happens mostly
when little energy is being generated and a great deal co nsumed
and the battery's state of charge is not optimal.
To br ing the ene rgy balance bac k into equi librium , cons umers
which require especially large amounts of energy are temporar ily
cu t back or switched off . Heating systems in part icu lar require a
great deal of energy. If you notice, for example, that the heated
seats* o r the heated rear w indow are not heating, they have been
temporari ly cut back or switc hed off. These systems wil l be avai lable
again as soon as the energy balance has been restored.
You wil l also notice t hat engi ne idle speed has been increase d
s lightly . This is norma l and not a cause for concern . By increasing
engine idle speed the addi tiona l energy required is ge nerated a nd
the battery is charged. •
