Homelink ®
Universal remote
control
Description
Applies to vehicles: with Homelink
The HomeLink universal remote control can
be programmed with the remote control for
devices that are already present.
W ith Home Link, you can control devices such
as the garage door, security systems, house lights, etc. comfortably from the inside of you
vehicle.
Homelink makes it possible for you to replace
three d iffe rent remote controls from dev ices
in your home with one universal remote. This
feature works for most garage door and exte­
rior door motor signals. Programming the in­
div idual remote control for your remote con ­
trol takes place near the center of the radiator
grille. There is a control module attached at
this location .
A one -time programm ing of the sensor must
be performed before you are able to use sys­
tems with Home link. If the system does not
activate after performing the one-time pro­
gramm ing, check whether the system uses a
rolling code
q page 117 for vehicles without
the MMI*.
& WARNING
-
- Never use the Homelink ® transmitter
with any garage door opener that does
have not the safety stop and reverse fea­
ture as required by federa l safety stand­
ards. This includes any garage door open­
er model 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 e lectrical components - an
overheated motor is a fire hazard!
- To avo id possib le injuries or property
damage, please always make absolutely
certain that no persons or objects are lo­
cated in the range of motion of any
equipment being operated.
(D Tips
- If you would li ke more information on
Homel ink ®, where to purchase the
Homel ink ® compatib le products, or
would like to purchase the Homelink ®
Home Lighting Package, please call toll­
free: 1-800-355-3515.
- For Declaration of Compliance to United
States FCC and Industry Canada regula­
tions¢
page 267.
- For security reasons, we recommend that
you clear the programmed buttons be­
fore selling the vehicle.

Remote con tro l units fo r garage door opene rs
in Canada are se t to stop transmit ting radio
frequency signa ls after two seconds . This t ime
may not be sufficient for the Home Link sys­

descr ibed in version B ¢
page 116.
-The required distance betwee n the hand
transm itter and the Homelink module in
the radiator grille¢
fig. 132 depends on
the system that you are programm ing .
- Depend ing on the mode l of the garage
door opener, you may need to release the
button on the remote and press it again
when programming. When program­

engine) .
2. Press and hold both of the outer Home­
Link buttons
¢ page 114, fig. 131 unti l
the LED @turns off completely (about
20
seconds). Th is procedure clears the stand­
ard codes that were set at the factory and
does not need to be repeated again to
p rogram the other buttons .
3 . Briefly press the Homelink button that
you would like to prog ram .
4. Wai t unti l the LED @ beg ins to blin k
q uickly. The Homelink module wi ll now
remain in learning mode for

gr ille
6 . Hold the orig inal hand transmitter some­
what towa rds the center of your vehicle's
r adiato r grille ¢
fig. 133 .
7. Now activate (p ress) the hand transmit­
ter.
8 . Pay attention to the tu rn signals fo r your
vehicle when activating the hand trans­
mitter . If the emergency flashers blink
three times, the programming was suc­
cessful. If the emergency flasher only blinks one time, the S minute time limit for the adaptation has expired or the pro
­
gramming was unsuccessful. Repeat the
programming from step 3 on the controls
or select another distance from the radia­
tor grille.
9 . If the garage door or other devices still
fail to be activated w it h the HomeL ink
control buttons after programming is
comple ted, it is possib le tha t these sys ­
tems mig ht be work ing with a roll ing code
instead of the normal f ixed code .
A Roll­
ing code pro gramming must be per­
formed
¢ page 117 .
Program the remaining two buttons accord ing
to the instructions mentioned above . Begin
similarly with the 3rd step if the program ­
ming connection was successful for the first
button.
Remote contro l units for garage door openers
in Canada are set to stop transmitting radio
frequency signa ls after two seconds. This time
may not be suffic ient for the Homelink sys­
tem to learn the radio frequency signa l. Per­
form all other steps as described above.
E rasing the button s
.,. Switch on the ignition (do not start the en­
gine).
.,. Press and hold both of the outer buttons un­
til the LED @turns off completely (about
20 seconds) to erase all of the buttons si­
multaneously .
.. Programmed buttons cannot be erased ind i­
vidua lly. Reprogram the buttons if necessa­
ry .
Reprogramming the buttons
.. Switch on the ignition (do not start the en­
gine) .
.. To reprogram an individua l button, press
and hold the b utton until the L ED@starts
to f lash quickly (after abo ut ten seconds).
Release the button immedia tely. The Home­
Link module will now remain in learning
mode for 5 minutes.
.,. Continue with step 5.

@ Tips
-Programming using the Homelink but­
tons is not possible with all infotainment
systems. If this is the case, program Homelink as described in version A
<=> page 115.
-The required distance between the hand
transmitter and the Homelink module in
the radiator grille<=>
fig. 133 depends on
the system that you are programming.
- Depending on the model of the garage
door opener, you may need to release the
button on the remote and press it again
when programming. When program­
ming a new device, keep the button
pressed for at least 15 seconds before
trying again with the transmitter in a dif­
ferent position. Watch out for the emer­ gency flasher during that time.
Programming the rolling code
App lies to vehicles: with Home link
Additionally, a rolling code programming for
the Homelink universal remote control is re­
quired for some systems.
Identifying the rolling code
"'Press the previously programmed Homelink
button again and hold it down.
"'Look at the LED@<=>
page 114, fig. 131. If
the LED blinks quickly, the features, such as
the garage door opener, are equipped with
the rolling code.
"'Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating the garage door opener motor
unit
"'Locate the setting button on the garage
door opener motor unit. The exact location
and color of the button may vary depending
on the garage door opener manufacturer .
"'Press the setting button on the garage door
opener motor unit (usually this will activate
a "setting light display" on the motor unit).
Now you will have about
30 seconds time to
perform the HomeLink button programming
on the controls.
Homelink® 11 7
Programming on the controls
"'Press the Home Link button that was already
programmed and hold for two seconds.
"'To end rolling code programming , press and
hold the Home link button for two seconds
again.
"'The Homelink button may need to be press­
ed a third time to end the adjustment proce­
dure for some garage door openers .
After the controls have been programmed, the garage door opener should recognize the
Homelink signal and operate when the Home ­
Link button is pressed . Now you may program
the other buttons as needed .
(D Tips
- Programming the rolling code can be
performed quicker and more easily with
the help of a second person.
- If difficulties should arise when pro­
gramming the rolling code, consult the
operating instructions for the garage
door opener or other devices for possible
solutions.
