HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
Introduction
ProCarManuals.com

HomeLink1 is a system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-devices (for
example, a garage door opener, remote lighting, entry gate). HomeLink's sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by
your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your handheld remote controls. The HomeLink transceiver
consists of three programmable buttons and an indicator light.

NOTE
For your security, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your car from the
outside.
Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (for example, if you purchase a new vehicle).
For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver when you sell your
vehicle.
Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a vehicle equipped with HomeLink Universal
Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceivers function.
Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver
Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your handheld transmitters.
NOTE
The HomeLink universal transceiver will function for 30 minutes after the driver's door has been opened without
switching on the vehicle's ignition.
Press the programmed HomeLink button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lightning, home security
system etc. Your original hand -held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.
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:

General information
Air conditioning - A/C
Your car is equipped with an Electronic Climate Control (ECC).
The air conditioning system can be switched off, but for optimal air quality in the passenger compartment and to
prevent the windows from fogging, the air conditioning should be left on - even in cool weather.
NOTE
In warm weather, a small amount of water may accumulate under the car when it has been parked. This water is
condensation from the A/C system and is normal.
Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of the windshield free of snow.
Fog on the inside of the windows
The defroster function should be used to remove fog or mist from the inside of the windows. Keeping the windows
clean with a commercially available window washing spray will also help prevent fogging or misting.

ECC functions
1. Auto - On/Off
The AUTO function automatically regulates climate control to maintain the desired temperature. The automatic
function controls heating, air conditioning, blower speed, recirculation, and air distribution.
If you select one or more manual functions, the remaining functions continue to be controlled automatically. All
manual settings are
83 03 Climate
Electronic Climate Control (ECC)
switched off when AUTO is switched on. AUTO CLIMATE is shown in the display.
2. Blower speed
The blower speed can be increased or decreased by turning the knob. The blower speed is regulated automatically if
AUTO is selected. The previously set blower speed is disconnected.
NOTE
If the knob is turned counterclockwise and the blower indication in the display goes out, the blower and the air
conditioning are switched off. The display shows the blower symbol and OFF.
3. Recirculation
This function can be used to shut out exhaust fumes, smoke, etc from the passenger compartment. The air in the
passenger compartment is then recirculated, i.e. no air from outside the car is taken into the car when this function is
activated.
If the air in the car recirculates for too long, there is a risk of condensation forming on the insides of the windows,
ProCarManuals.com

especially in winter.
Timer
The timer function minimizes the risk of fogging, or stale air when the recirculation function is selected. See page 72
for information on setting the recirculation timer.
NOTE
Recirculation is always disengaged if the defroster button is engaged to clear ice or condensation from the side
windows.
4. Defroster
Directs airflow to the windshield and side windows and increases blower speed.
When the defroster is activated:
Air flows to the windows at high blower speed.
The LED in the defroster button lights up when this function is activated. The air conditioning system is controlled
to provide maximum air dehumidification.
The air conditioning is automatically switched on (can be switched off by pressing button 5).
The air is not recirculated.
5. Airflow controls
Press one of the three buttons in the illustration to activate the selected airflow. A symbol in the display above the
climate control panel and a lit LED in the selected button indicate that the manual function has been selected. With
manually selected airflow both warm and cool air can be selected. See also the table on page 86
.
6. Air conditioning On/Off
ON: The air conditioning system is engaged when the ON light is lit and is controlled automatically by the system to
maintain the selected temperature.
OFF: The system is disengaged when the OFF lights up
When OFF is selected and the OFF LED is lit, the air conditioning system is deactivated.

Maximum heating : Press the button once - both LEDs light up.
Reduced heating : Press the button a second time - one LED lights up.
Seat heating off : Press the button a third time - no LEDs are lit.
9. Rear window and door mirror defrosters
Press to defrost the rear window and door mirrors.
The rear window and door mirrors are defrosted simultaneously if the switch is pressed once. The defrost function is
active if the LED in the switch is illuminated.
The function can be switched off manually by pressing the button.
The defrost function switches off automatically after 12-20 minutes, depending on the outside temperature.
NOTE
This function is automatically switched off when the power retractable hard top is down.
On certain markets, the defrost function may remain on longer than 20 minutes in cold weather to help keep the
rear window free from ice or condensation.
10. Temperature selector
The temperatures on the driver's and passenger's sides can be set separately using the knob (with the thermometer in
it). The temperature can be set for both sides of the car when the ignition is switched on (both LEDs will be on), which
means that a temperature setting will apply to both sides of the car.
To set the temperature on one side of the car:
Press the knob once. The LED for one side of the car will light up. Turn the knob to adjust the temperature.
Press the knob a second time to set the temperature on the opposite side of the car.
Press the knob a third time to set the temperature on both sides of the car at the same time.
NOTE
Selecting a temperature that is higher or lower than necessary will not heat or cool the passenger compartment faster.
