Automatic High Beams
The Automatic High Beams system provides in-
creased forward lighting at night by automating
high beam control through the use of a digital
camera mounted on the inside rearview mirror.
This camera detects vehicle specific light and automatically switches from high beams to low beams
until the approaching vehicle is out of view. This feature is programmable through the Uconnect®
system. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings ” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's
Manual on the DVD for further details.

Before You Begin Programming HomeLink®
Ensure that your vehicle is parked outside of the garage before you begin programming.
For efficient programming and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal, it is recom-
mended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device that is being
programmed to the HomeLink® system.
Erase all channels before you begin programming. To erase the channels, place the ignition switch
into the ON/RUN position, then press and hold the two outside HomeLink® buttons (I and III) for
up to 20 seconds or until the red indicator flashes.
NOTE:
Erasing all channels should only be performed when programming HomeLink® for the first time.
Do not erase channels when programming additional buttons.
If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 or, on the
Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance.
Programming A Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers that were manufactured after 1995. These Garage
Door Openers can be identified by the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the hanging
antenna is attached to the Garage Door Opener. It is NOT the button that is normally used to
open and close the door. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer.
1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button you wishto program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and the hand-held transmitter button.
4.
Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink® indicator will
flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the frequency signal from the
hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to rapid.
5. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage
door opener motor. Firmly press and release the “LEARN” or “TRAINING” button.
NOTE:
You have 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the LEARN button has been pressed.
6.
Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLink® button twice (holding the button for
two seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is complete.
NOTE:
If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete the
training.
7. To program the remaining two HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.

Programming A Non-Rolling Code
NOTE:
For programming Garage Door Openers manufactured before 1995.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.
2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the HomeLink® button youwish to program while keeping the HomeLink® indicator light in view.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the HomeLink® button you want to program and the hand-held transmitter button.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the indicator light. The HomeLink® indicator will flash slowly and then rapidly after HomeLink® has received the frequency signal from the
hand-held transmitter. Release both buttons after the indicator light changes from slow to
rapid.
5. Press and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the indicator light. If the indicator light stays on constantly, programming is complete and the garage door (or device)
should activate when the HomeLink® button is pressed.
6. To program the two remaining HomeLink® buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels.
Using HomeLink®
• To operate, press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Activation will now occurfor the programmed device (e.g., garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry
door lock, home/office lighting, etc.,). The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be
used at any time.
WARNING!
• Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are programming the universal
transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if people or pets are in the path of the door or
gate.
• Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or confined area while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is poisonous when inhaled and can cause you
and others to be severely injured or killed.
