Information button
Indicator lights
Pressing the information button provides cer- tain information about the vehicle with thehelp of the indicator lights.
Using the information button1. Press the information button .
2. All of the indicator lights will flash sequentially for approximately 7 seconds to indicate that the PCC is receiving infor-mation from the vehicle. If any of the but-tons are pressed during this 7-secondperiod, transmission of information to thePCC will be interrupted.
NOTE
If none of the indicator lights flash when the information button has been pressedseveral times from different places in rela-tion to the vehicle, contact an authorizedVolvo service technician.
The indicator lights provide information according to the illustration:
Steady green light: the vehicle is correctly locked.
Steady yellow light: the vehicle is not locked.
Steady red light: the alarm has been trig- gered since the vehicle was most recentlylocked.
Both red lights flash alternatively: the alarm was triggered less than 5 minutesago.
RangeThe PCC's lock and unlock functions have arange of approximately 60 ft. (20 m) from thevehicle.
NOTE
•The approach lighting, panic alarm, and the functions controlled by theinformation button have a range ofapproximately 300 ft (100 m) from thevehicle.
• Radio waves, buildings or other obsta-cles may interfere with the function ofthe PCC.
If the vehicle does not provide confirmation when a button has been pressed, try movingcloser and pressing the button again.
Outside of the PCC´s rangeIf the PCC is more than approximately 300 ft (100 m) from the vehicle when the informationbutton is pressed, no new information will bereceived. The PCC most recently used to lock

Introduction
The HomeLink 1
Wireless Control System pro-
vides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmittersused to activate devices such as gate opera-tors, garage door openers, entry door locks,security systems, even home lighting. Addi-tional HomeLink information can be found onthe Internet at www.homelink.com or byphoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.
WARNING
• If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is nearthe gate or door while it is in motion.
• When programming a garage dooropener, it is advised to park outside ofthe garage.
• Do not use HomeLink with any garagedoor opener that lacks safety stop andreverse features as required by U.S.federal safety standards (this includesany garage door opener model manu-factured before April 1, 1982). Agarage door that cannot detect anobject - signaling the door to stop andreverse - does not meet current U.S.federal safety standards. For moreinformation, contact HomeLink at:www.homelink.com.
Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in othervehicles as well as for future HomeLink pro-gramming. It is also suggested that upon thesale of the vehicle, the programmed Home-Link buttons be erased for security purposes.Refer to “Resetting HomeLink Buttons” onpage 123.
Programming HomeLink
NOTE
Some vehicles may require the ignition to be switched on or be in the “accessories”position for programming and/or operationof HomeLink. It is also recommended thata new battery be placed in the hand-heldtransmitter of the device being pro-grammed to HomeLink for quicker trainingand accurate transmission of the radio-fre-quency signal. The HomeLink buttonsmust be reset first. When this has beencompleted, Homelink is in learning modeso that you can perform programming.
1. Position the end of your hand-held trans-
mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to pro-gram while keeping the indicator light inview.
