NOTE
Some devices may require you to replace this Programming Step 2 with proceduresnoted in the “Gate Operator / CanadianProgramming” section. If the HomeLinkindicator light does not change to a rapidlyblinking light after performing these steps,contact HomeLink at www.homelink.comor by phoning the hotline at1–800–355–3515.
3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and
release the programmed HomeLink but-
ton up to two separate times to activate the door. If the door does not activate,press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkbutton and observe the indicator light.
• If the indicator light
stays on con-
stantly, programming is complete and your device should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed andreleased.
• If the indicator light blinks
rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to aconstant light continue with “Pro- gramming” steps 4-6 to complete the
programming of a rolling code equip- ped device (most commonly a garagedoor opener). 4. At the garage door opener receiver
(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate the “learn” or “smart” button. This canusually be found where the hangingantenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit.
5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “smart” button. (The name and color ofthe button may vary by manufacturer.)There are 30 seconds to initiate step 6.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press, hold for two seconds and release the pro-grammed HomeLink button. Repeat the“press/hold/release” sequence a secondtime, and, depending on the brand of thegarage door opener (or other rolling codeequipped device), repeat this sequence athird time to complete the programmingprocess.
HomeLink should now activate your rollingcode equipped device.
Gate Operator/Canadian ProgrammingCanadian radio-frequency laws require trans-mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after sev-eral seconds of transmission – which may notbe long enough for HomeLink to pick up thesignal during programming. Similar to thisCanadian law, some U.S. gate operators aredesigned to “time-out” in the same manner. If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-culties programming a gate operator orgarage door opener by using the “Program-ming” procedures,
replace “Programming
HomeLink” step 2 with the following :
• Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you
press and release -
every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-
held transmitter until the HomeLink indi-cator light changes from a slow to a rap-idly blinking light. Now you may releaseboth the HomeLink and hand-held trans-mitter buttons.
Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to com- plete.
Using HomeLink
To operate, simply press and hold the pro- grammed HomeLink button until the traineddevice begins to operate (this may take sev-eral seconds). Activation will now occur forthe trained device (i.e., garage door opener,gate operator, security system, entry doorlock, home/office lighting, etc.). For conven-ience, the hand-held transmitter of the devicemay also be used at any time. In the eventthat there are still programming difficulties orquestions, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com or by phoning the hotlineat 1–800–355–3515.

If the ignition is switched off, HomeLink will function for 30 minutes after the driv-er's door has been opened.
Resetting HomeLink Buttons
Use the following procedure to reset (erase programming) from the three HomeLink but-tons (individual buttons cannot be reset butcan be “reprogrammed” as outlined in the fol-lowing section):
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink
buttons until the indicator light begins to flash.
2. Release both buttons. > HomeLink is now in the training (orlearning) mode and can be pro-grammed at any time beginning with“Programming” - step 1.
Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button
To program a device to HomeLink using a HomeLink button previously trained, followthese steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the Home- Link button, proceed with “Programming”- step 1.

Attachment eyelet in front seat rail
If the vehicle is equipped with the cargo area cover, lift the cover out of the vehicle beforeinstalling the cargo net.
1. The upper and lower rods of the cargo net are hinged. Position the rods so that they are straight and lock in position.
2. Insert the end of the upper rod in one of the attachment brackets (see illustrationin the left column).
3. Insert the other end of the rod in the attachment bracket on the opposite sideof the vehicle.
NOTE
When using the net in the rear attachment brackets, be sure it is installed in front ofthe side armrests.
4. Attach the lower straps to the eyelets onthe floor if the net has been installed in the rear attachment brackets. Use theeyelets in the front seat rails if the net hasbeen installed in the forward attachmentbrackets.
5. Adjust the straps to pull the net taut.
Folding and storing the cargo netPress the release buttons on the hinges (1 in the illustration) and fold the net.
WARNING
• Be sure the cargo net is properly inserted in the attachment bracketsand the straps are correctly attachedto the eyelets and pulled taut.
• Do not use the net if it is damaged inany way.
• When it is not in use, store the net sothat it cannot be thrown forward in theevent of sudden braking, etc.

WARNING
Never use the transmitter to lock the doors from inside the vehicle.• Doing so would ACTIVATE:
• the break-in alarm, which would sound if one of the doors were opened
• the optional interior motion and incli-nation alarm sensors.
• Doing so would DEACTIVATE:
• the moonroof and interior courtesylight controls.
• the central locking buttons on the frontdoor armrests, although the interiordoor handles would still function toallow occupants to leave the vehicle.
• Disabled features would remain disa-bled until the remote is used again tounlock the vehicle.
• In addition, locking an occupied vehi-cle would hinder rapid access to theoccupants in an accident or emer-gency.
Replacing the battery in the remote keyIf the range of the transmitter is noticeably reduced, this indicates that the battery isweak and should be replaced.
To replace the battery:1. Carefully pry open the rear edge of the
cover with a small screwdriver.
2. Insert a new 3-volt, CR2032 battery, with the battery's plus side up. Avoid touching the contact surfaces of the battery withyour fingers.
3. Press the cover back into place. Ensure that the rubber seal is correctly posi-tioned to help keep out moisture.
NOTE
The old battery should be disposed of properly at a recycling center or at yourVolvo retailer.
