HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)
Introduction
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.

® JCI, All rights reserved
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.

The defrost function switches off automatically after 12-20 minutes, depending on the outside temperature.
NOTE
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:
1. Press the knob once. The LED for one side of the car will light up. Turn the knob to adjust the temperature.
2. Press the knob a second time to set the temperature on the opposite side of the car.
3. 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.
