! HomeLink
®Wireless Control Sys-
tem
The HomeLink®Wireless Control System
can be used to activate remote control
devices such as gate operators, garage
door openers, door locks, home lighting
and security systems.
There are three HomeLink
®buttons on the
mirror, each of which can be programmed
for operation of one desired device. For
details on the device types which can be
operated by this system, consult the
HomeLink
®website at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355-
3515.
Note the following information about this
system.

WARNING
. When programming the
HomeLink
®Wireless Control Sys-
tem, you may be operating a
garage door opener or other
device. Make sure that people and objects are out of the way of
the garage door or other device
to prevent potential harm or
damage.

®Wire-
less Control System with a gar-
age door opener that lacks the
safety stop and reverse feature
as required by applicable safety
standards. A garage door opener
which cannot detect an object,
signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet these
safety standards. Using a garage
door opener without these fea-
tures increases risk of serious
injury or death. For more infor-
mation, consult the HomeLink
®
website at www.homelink.com or
call 1-800-355-3515.
CAUTION
When programming the HomeLink
®
Wireless Control System to operate
a garage door opener or an entrance
gate, unplug the device ’s motor
from the outlet during programming
to prevent motor burnout.
