Homelink ®
Universal remote
control
General information
The Homelink ® feature can learn up to three
radio frequency codes for most current trans­
mitters used for operating garage doors, es­ tate gates, home or outdoor lighting sys­
tems , and other devices.
You must first program the Homelink ® trans­
mitter before you can use the system
¢ page 95, Programming the HomeLink ®
transmitter.
In order to program the Home Link ® transmit­
ter 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" but­
ton 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.
A WARNING -
- Never use the Homelink® transmitter
with any garage door opener that does
have not the safety stop and reverse fea­
ture as requ ired by federal safety stand­
ards. This includes any garage door open­
er mode l manufactured before April 1,
1982.
- A garage door opener which cannot de­
tect an object, signaling the door to stop
and reverse does not meet current feder­
al safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
risk of serious injury or death.
- 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 pro­
grammed. If the device is repeatedly ac­
tivated, this can overstrain motor and
damage its electrical components -an
overheated motor is a fire hazard!
- To avoid possible injuries or property
damage, please always make absolutely
certain that no persons or objects are lo­
cated in the range of motion of any
equ ipment being operated.

Homelink®, where to purchase the

244 Consumer Information
Technical Modifications
Our guidelines must be complied with when technical modifications are made .
Always consult an authorized Audi dealer be­
fore starting work on any modifications.
This will help ensure that vehicle function,
performance and safety are not impaired

a substantial reduction in the operational
safety of your vehicle and an increased wear of
ve hicle parts ¢
A:,..
Author ized Audi dealers will perform th is
wo rk in a professiona l and competent manner
or, in special cases, refer you to a professional
company that specializes in such modifica­
tions .
A WARNING
Improper repairs and modifications can
change the way vehicle systems work and
cause damage to the veh icle and serious
personal injury.
If emergency repairs must be performed
elsewhere, have the vehicle examined by
an authorized Audi dealership as soon as
possible.
