WARNING
Do not use the system with any
garage door opener that does not
have the safety stop and reverse
feature as required by U.S. Federal Safety
Standards (this includes any garage door
opener manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door opener which cannot detect
an object, signaling the door to stop and
reverse, does not meet current federal
safety standards. Using a garage door
opener without these features increases
the risk of serious injury or death. Note:
Make sure that the garage door and
security device are free from obstruction
when you are programming. Do not program
the system with the vehicle in the garage.
Note: Make sure you keep the original
remote control transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future system
programming.
Note: We recommend that upon the sale
or lease termination of your vehicle, you
erase the programmed function buttons for
security reasons. See Erasing the function
button codes later in this section.
Note: You can program a maximum of
three devices. To change or replace any of
the three devices after it has been initially
programmed, you must first erase the
current settings. See Erasing the function
button codes later in this section. The universal garage door opener replaces
the common hand-held garage door
opener with a three-button transmitter
that is integrated into the driver
’s sun visor.
The system includes two primary features,
a garage door opener and a platform for
remote activation of devices within the
home. As well as being programmed for
garage doors, the system transmitter can
be programmed to operate entry gate
operators, security systems, entry door
locks and home or office lighting.
Additional system information can be
found online at www.homelink.com or by
calling the toll-free help line on
1-800-355-3515.
In-vehicle programming
This process is to program your hand-held
transmitter and your in-vehicle HomeLink
button.
Note: Put a new battery in the hand-held
transmitter. This will ensure quicker training
and accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal. 1.
With your vehicle parked outside of the
garage, turn your ignition to the
on
position, but do not start your vehicle.
2. Hold your hand-held garage door transmitter 1– 3 inches (2–8
centimeters) away from the HomeLink
button you want to program.

3. Using both hands, simultaneously,
press and hold the desired HomeLink
button and the hand-held transmitter
button. DO NOT release either one until
the HomeLink indicator light flashes
slowly and then rapidly. When the
indicator light flashes rapidly, both
buttons may be released. The rapid
flashing indicates successful training.
4. Press and hold the HomeLink button you programmed for five seconds, then
release. You may need to do this twice
to activate the door. If your garage door
does not operate, watch the HomeLink
indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on, the
programming is complete. See
Programming your garage door motor
later in this section.
If the indicator light flashes rapidly for 2
seconds and then turns to a constant light,
the HomeLink button is not programmed
yet. Do the following:
Press and hold the HomeLink button while
you press and release the hand-held
transmitter button every 2 seconds. The
HomeLink indicator light will flash slowly
and then rapidly once the HomeLink
function button recognizes and accepts
the hand-held transmitter ’s radio
frequency signal.
After programming the HomeLink button,
begin programming your garage door
opener motor.
Note: You may need a ladder to reach the
unit and you may need to remove the cover
or lamp lens on your garage door opener. To program additional buttons, repeat
Steps 1 – 4.
For questions or comments, please contact
HomeLink at www.homelink.com or
1-800-355-3515.
Programming your garage door opener
motor

Press the button. The touch screen
displays a message and a corresponding
graphic to indicate it's searching for a
parking space. Use the turn signal to
indicate which side of the vehicle you want
the system to search on.
Note:
If the turn signal is not on, the system
automatically searches on the vehicle's
passenger side. When a suitable space is found, the touch
screen displays a message and a chime
sounds. Slow down and stop at
approximately position (A), then follow
the instructions on the touch screen.
Note:
You must observe that the selected
space remains clear of obstructions at all
times in the maneuver.
Note: Vehicles with overhanging loads (e.g.
a bus or a truck), street furniture and other
items may not be detected by active park
assist. You must make sure the selected
space is suitable for parking.
Note: The vehicle should be driven as
parallel to other vehicles as possible while
passing a parking space.
Note: The system always offers the last
detected parking space (i.e. if the vehicle
detects multiple spaces while you are
driving, it offers the last one).
Note: If driven above approximately 20
mph (35 km/h), the touch screen shows a
message to alert you to reduce vehicle
speed. Automatic Steering into Parking
Space
Note:
If vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10
km/h), the system switches off and you
need to take full control of the vehicle.
Note: If a maneuver is interrupted before
completion, the system switches off. The
steering wheel position will not indicate the
actual position of the steering and you have
to full take control of the vehicle.
With your hands off the wheel (and
nothing obstructing its movement) and
the transmission in R (Reverse), the vehicle
steers itself as instructions to safely move
the vehicle back and forward in the space
are displayed in the touch screen. While
reversing, the touch screen displays a
message instructing you to check your
surroundings (for safety reasons) and to
back-up slowly, accompanied by a
corresponding graphic.

Reasons for messages displaying
Clean the fascia area in
front of the radar or remove the obstruction.
The radar
surface is dirty or
obstructed
Drive normally in traffic for
a few minutes to allow the radar to detect passing
vehicles so it can clear the blocked state.
The radar
surface is
not dirty or
obstructed
No action required. Thesystem automatically
resets to an unblocked
state once the rainfall or
snowfall rate decreases or stops. Do not use BLIS or
Cross Traffic Alert in these conditions.
Heavy rain-
fall or
snowfall
interferes with the radar
signals
System Limitations
The Blind Spot Information and Cross
Traffic Alert systems do have their
limitations; situations such as severe
weather conditions or debris build-up on
the sensor area may limit vehicle detection.
The following are other situations that may
limit the Blind Spot Information System:
• Certain maneuvering of vehicles
entering and exiting the blind zone.
• Vehicles passing through the blind zone
at very fast rates.
• When several vehicles forming a
convoy pass through the blind zone.
The following are other situations that may
limit the Cross Traffic Alert system:
• Adjacently parked vehicles or objects
obstructing the sensors.
• Approaching vehicles passing at
speeds greater than 15 mph (24 km/h). •
Driving in reverse faster than
3 mph
(5 km/h).
• Backing out of an angled parking spot.
False Alerts
Note: If your vehicle has a factory equipped
tow bar and it is towing a trailer, the sensors
detect the trailer and turn the Blind Spot
Information System off to avoid false alerts.
For non-factory equipped tow bars, you may
want to turn the Blind Spot Information
System off manually.
There may be certain instances when there
is a false alert by either the Blind Spot
Information or the Cross Traffic Alert
systems that illuminates the alert indicator
with no vehicle in the coverage zone. Some
amount of false alerts are normal; they are
temporary and self-correct.
System Errors
If either system senses a problem with the
left or right sensor, the Blind Spot
Information System telltale illuminates
and a message appears in the information
display. See
Information Messages
(page 93).
All other system faults display only with a
message in the information display.
Switching the Systems Off and On
You can temporarily switch off one or both
systems in the information display. See
(page 90). When you switch off the Blind
Spot Information System, you will not
receive alerts and the information display
will flash the yellow alert indicator twice.
The system switches back on whenever
you switch the ignition on.
