Laminated glassThe glass is reinforced which pro-
vides better protection against
break-ins and improved sound insu-
lation in the passenger compartment.
The windscreen and other windows* have lami-
nated glass.
Water and dirt-repellent coating*Windows are treated with a coating
that improves the view in difficult
weather conditions. Maintenance, see
page 345.
IMPORTANT
Do not use a metal ice scraper to remove ice
from the windows. Use the defroster to
remove ice from the mirrors, see
page 103.
Heat-reflecting windscreen*
Areas where IR film is not applied.

The windscreen is equipped with a heat-
reflecting film (IR) that reduces the solar heat
radiation into the passenger compartment.
The positioning of electronic equipment, such
as a transponder, behind a glass surface with
heat-reflecting film may affect its function and
performance.
For the optimal function of electronic equip-
ment, it should be positioned on the part of thewindscreen with no heat-reflecting film (see the
highlighted area in the above illustration).

HomeLinkŸŸ *

* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.137 General
HomeLinkŸ is a programmable remote control
which can control up to three different devices
(e.g. garage door, alarm system, outdoor light-
ing and indoor lighting etc.) and in doing so
replace their remote controls. HomeLink
Ÿ is
supplied built into the left-hand sun visor.
The HomeLink
Ÿ panel consists of three pro-
grammable buttons and one indicator lamp.
NOTE
HomeLinkŸ is designed not to work if the car
is locked from the outside.
Save the original remote controls for future
programming (e.g. when switching to
another car).
Delete the button programming when the
car is to be sold.
Metallic sun visors should not be used in
cars fitted with HomeLink
Ÿ. This may have
an adverse effect on its function.
Operation
When HomeLinkŸ is fully programmed it can be
used in place of the separate original remote
controls.
Depress the programmed button to activate
the garage door, alarm system etc. The indi-
cator lamp illuminates for the time that the but-
ton is kept depressed.
NOTE
If the ignition is not activated, HomeLinkŸ
will work for 30 minutes after the driver's
door has been opened.
The original remote controls can of course be
used in parallel with HomeLinkŸ.
WARNING
If HomeLinkŸ is used to operate a garage
door or gate, ensure that nobody is in the
vicinity of the door or gate while it is in
motion.
Do not use the HomeLink
Ÿ remote control
for any garage door that does not have
safety stop and safety reverse. The garage
door must react immediately when it
detects that something is preventing its
movement, and stop directly and reverse. A
garage door without these characteristics
could cause personal injury. For further
information - contact the supplier via the
Internet: www.homelink.com.
Programming for the first timeThe first step erases the memory in
HomeLinkŸ and must not be carried out when
only one individual button is being reprogram-
med.
1. Depress the two outer buttons and do not
release until the indicator lamp starts to
flash after approx. 20 seconds. The flash-
ing indicates that HomeLink
Ÿ is set in
"learn mode" and is ready to be pro-
grammed.
2. Position the original remote control
5-30 cm from HomeLink
Ÿ. Monitor the indi-
cator lamp.

138* Option/accessory, for more information, see Introduction.
The particular distance that is required
between the original remote control and
HomeLink
Ÿ depends on the programming
of the device in question. Perhaps several
attempts will be required at different dis-
tances. Maintain each position for approx.
15 seconds before trying a new one.
3. Depress the button for the original remote
control and the button to be programmed
on HomeLink
Ÿ simultaneously. Do not
release the buttons until the indicator lamp
has changed over from slow to rapid flash-
ing. The rapid flashing indicates successful
programming.
4. Test the programming by depressing the
programmed button on HomeLink
Ÿ and
watching the indicator lamp:
•Constant glow: The indicator lamp illu-
minates with a constant glow when the
button is kept depressed, this indicates
that the programming is complete. The
garage door, gate or similar should now
be activated when the programmed
HomeLink
Ÿ button is depressed.
•Glow not constant: The indicator lamp
flashes quickly for approx. 2 seconds
and then changes over to a constant
glow for approx. 3 seconds. This proc-ess is repeated for approx. 20 seconds
and indicates that the device has a "roll-
ing code". The garage door, gate or sim-
ilar is not activated when the pro-
grammed HomeLink
Ÿ button is
depressed. Continue the programming
in accordance with the following.
5.
Locate the "programming button
1" on the
receiver for the garage door for example,
normally located close to the antenna's
bracket on the receiver. If you have diffi-
culty in finding the button - consult the
supplier's manual, or contact the supplier
via the Internet: www.homelink.com.
6. Depress and release the "programming
button". The button flashes for
approx. 30 seconds and the next step must
be carried out within this period.
7. Depress the programmed button on
HomeLink
Ÿ, while the "programming but-
ton" is still flashing, keep it depressed for
approx. 3 seconds and then release.
Repeat the press/hold/release sequence
up to 3 times to conclude the program-
ming.
Programming individual buttonsTo reprogram an individual button, proceed in
accordance with the following:
1. Depress the required button on
HomeLink
Ÿ and do not release until step 3
has been completed.
2.
When the indicator lamp on HomeLink
Ÿ
starts to flash, after approx. 20 seconds,
position the original remote control
5-30 cm from HomeLink
Ÿ. Monitor the indi-
cator lamp.
The particular distance that is required
between the original remote control and
HomeLink depends on the programming of
the device in question. Perhaps several
attempts will be required at different dis-
tances. Maintain each position for approx.
15 seconds before trying a new one.
3. Depress the button on the original remote
control. The indicator lamp will start to
flash. When the flashing has changed over
from a slow to a rapid flashing - release
both buttons. The rapid flashing indicates
successful programming.
4. Test the programming by depressing the
programmed button on HomeLink and
watching the indicator lamp:
