Type 2When the headlights of the vehicles behind you are very bright,
the reflection factor of the rearview mirror is automatically
changed to reduce the glare.
Normally, use the automatic mode. When the switch (1) is
pressed, the indicator (2) illuminates and the reflection factor
of the mirror is automatically changed.
When the switch (4) is pressed, the reflection factor of the mir-
ror will not change.NOTE
Do not hang items on, or spray glass cleaner on the sensor
(3), as reduced sensitivity could result.

For HomeLink
® Wireless Control System, please refer to
“HomeLink

Outside rearview mirrors
N00512200189
Adjust the outside rearview mirrors only after making any seat
adjustments so you have a clear view to the rear of the vehicle.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not attempt to adjust the outside rearview mir-
rors while driving. This can be dangerous.
Be sure to adjust the mirrors before driving.
Your passenger’s side mirror is convex. The objects
you see in the mirror will look smaller and farther
away than they appear in a regular flat mirror.
Do not use this mirror to estimate the distance of
vehicles following you when changing lanes.

® Wireless Control System
(if so
equipped)N00554300030
HomeLink
® Wireless Control System is a registered trademark
of Johnson Controls Inc..
HomeLink® provides a convenient way to consolidate the
functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters into
one built-in device.
HomeLink® will operate most radio frequency devices such as
garage doors, gates, home and office lighting, entry door locks
and security systems.
NOTE
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while program-
ming HomeLink
®.

HomeLink
® is powered by your vehicle’s battery. No sep-
arate batteries are required. If the vehicle’s battery is dis-
charged or is disconnected, HomeLink
® will retain all
programming.

Once HomeLink
® is programmed, retain the original
transmitter for future programming procedures (for exam-
ple, new vehicle purchases). Upon sale of the vehicle, the
programmed HomeLink
® buttons should be erased for
security purposes.
WA R N I N G
!
Do not use HomeLink
® with any garage door opener
that lacks safety stop and reverse features as
required by U.S. Federal Regulations. A garage door
opener which cannot detect an object in the path of
a closing garage door and then automatically stop
and reverse, does not meet current U.S. Federal
Regulations. Using a garage door opener without
these features increases the risk of serious injury or
death.

During programming, your garage door or gate may
open or close. Make sure that people and objects are
clear of the garage door or gate that you are pro-
gramming.

Programming HomeLink
®
To program HomeLink
® to operate a garage door, gate, or
entry door opener, home or office lighting, you need to be at
the same location as the device.
NOTE
Some garage door openers manufactured after 1996 have
“rolling code protection”. To program a garage door
opener equipped with “rolling code protection”; you will
need to access the garage door opener motor to press the
motor’s learn buttons. For convenience, use a ladder and
another person to assist you.
1. Unplug the device during the “cycling” process to prevent
possible damage to the garage door opener components.2. Press and hold the 2 outer HomeLink
® buttons (A) (to
clear the memory) until the indicator light (B) blinks
slowly (after 20 seconds). Release both buttons.
3. Position the end of the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches
(25 to 75 mm) away from HomeLink
® surface.
4. Using both hands, simultaneously press and hold both
HomeLink
® button (C) you want to program and the
hand-held transmitter button (D). Do not release the but-
tons until step 5 has been completed.

5. Hold down both buttons until the indicator light on
HomeLink
® flashes, changing from a “slow blink” to a
“rapidly flashing blink”. This could take up to 90 seconds.
When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may
be released. The rapidly flashing light indicates successful
programming. Press and hold Homelink

with the next steps to train HomeLink® to complete the
programming.
7. Press and release the “smart” or “learn” program button
located on the garage door opener’s motor to activate the
“training mode”. This button is usually located near the
antenna wire that hangs down from the motor. If the wire
originates from under a light lens, you will need to
remove the lens to access the program button.
NOTE
Once you have pressed and released the program button
on the garage door opener’s motor and the “training light”
is on, you have 30 seconds in which to perform step 8.
Use the help of a second person for convenience to assist
when performing this step.
8. Quickly within 30 seconds of pressing and releasing the
garage door opener program button, firmly press and
release HomeLink
® button you’ve just programmed.
Press and release HomeLink
® button up to three times to
complete the training.9. To program the remaining HomeLink
® buttons for addi-
tional door or gate openers, follow steps 2-8 only.

ously programmed HomeLink
® buttons.
If you have any questions or are having difficulty programming
your HomeLink
® buttons, please refer to the HomeLink
® web
site at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-3515.
