Pre-programming the HomeLink
System
N O T E
It is recommended that a new battery be
placed in the hand-held transmitter of the
device being programmed to HomeLink
for quicker training and accurate
transmission of the radio-frequency signal.
 


y Verify that there is a remote control
transmitter available for the device you
would like to program.
 


y Disconnect the power to the device.
Programming the HomeLink
System
CAUTION
When programming a garage door
opener or a gate, disconnect the power
to these devices before performing
programming. Continuous operation
of the devices could damage the
motor.

The HomeLink system provides 3 buttons
which can be individually selected and
programmed using the transmitters for
current, on-market devices as follows:

1. Disconnect power to the device being
programmed.
2. Position the end of your hand-held
transmitter 2.5—7.5 cm (1—3 inches)
away from the HomeLink button you
wish to program while keeping the
indicator light in view. 3. Simultaneously press and hold both
the chosen HomeLink and hand-held
transmitter buttons. Do not release
the buttons until step 3 has been
completed.
N O T E
Some gate operators and garage door
openers may require you to replace this
Programming Step 2 with procedures
noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian
Programming” section.

4. After the HomeLink indicator light
changes from a slow to a rapidly
blinking light, release both the
HomeLink and hand-held transmitter
buttons.
N O T E
If the HomeLink indicator light does not
change to a rapidly blinking light, contact
HomeLink at www.homelink.com or call
1-800-355-3515 for assistance.

5. Connect power to the device being
programmed.

Gate operator/Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit)
after several seconds of transmission
— which may not be long enough for
HomeLink to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian
law, some U.S. gate operators are designed
to “time-out” in the same manner.

If you live in Canada or you are having
dif¿ culties programming a gate operator
by using the “Programming” procedures
(regardless of where you live), replace
“Programming HomeLink” step 3 with
the following:
N O T E
If programming a garage door opener or
gate operator, it is advised to unplug the
device during the “cycling” process to
prevent possible overheating.

Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
button while you press and release
— every two seconds (“cycle”) your
hand-held transmitter until the frequency
signal has successfully been accepted by
HomeLink. (The indicator light will À ash
slowly and then rapidly.)
Proceed with “Programming” step 4 to
complete.
Operating the HomeLink System
Press the programmed HomeLink button
to operate a programmed device. The
code will continue being transmitted for a
maximum of 20 seconds.
Reprogramming the HomeLink
system
To program a device to HomeLink using
a HomeLink button previously trained,
follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to À ash
after 20 seconds. Without releasing
the HomeLink button, proceed with
“Programming” - step 1.

Erasing Programmed HomeLink
Buttons
To erase the existing programming from
all three operating channels, press and
hold the two outside buttons (
, ) on
the auto-dimming mirror until the
HomeLink indicator light begins to À ash
after approximately 10 seconds.
Verify that the programming has been
erased when you resell the vehicle.

Camera and Sensors
F o r w a r d s e n s i n g c a m e r a ( F S C )
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) determines the conditions ahead of the vehicle while
traveling at night and detects traf¿ c lanes. The following systems also use the Forward
Sensing Camera (FSC).
 


y High Beam Control system (HBC)



y Lane-keep Assist System (LAS) & Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS)



y Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) is installed at the top of the windshield near the
rearview mirror.
Refer to Forward Sensing Camera (FSC) on page 4-137 .
Radar sensor (front)
The radar sensor (front) functions by detecting the radio waves reÀ ected off a vehicle ahead
sent from the radar sensor. The following systems also use the radar sensor (front).
 


y Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC)



y Distance Recognition Support System (DRSS)



y Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The radar sensor (front) is mounted behind the radiator grille.
Refer to Radar Sensor (Front) on page 4-140 .
Laser sensor (front)
The laser sensor (front) emits a near-infrared laser beam and receives the beam reÀ ected
off the reÀ ective surface of a vehicle in front, and the detected beam is then used for
measurement. The following systems also use the laser sensor (front).
 


y Smart City Brake Support (SCBS)



y Smart Brake Support (SBS)
The laser sensor (front) is installed at the top of the windshield near the rearview mirror.

Radar sensors (rear)
The radar sensors (rear) function by detecting the radio waves reÀ ected off a vehicle
approaching from the rear or an obstruction sent from the radar sensors. The following
systems also use the radar sensors (rear).
 


y Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM)



y Rear Cross Traf¿ c Alert (RCTA)
The radar sensors (rear) are installed inside the rear bumper, one each on the left and right
sides.

 y The radar sensors (rear) of the Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) may be regulated under
the radio wave related laws of the country where the vehicle is driven. The sensors
in this system are approved for use in the U.S.A. (including territories), Canada, and
Mexico. If a vehicle with a Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) is driven in a country other
than the U.S.A., Canada, or Mexico, the system has to be turned off using the Blind Spot
Monitoring (BSM) OFF switch.
 


y The system switches to the Rear Cross Traf¿ c Alert function when the selector lever is
shifted to the reverse (R) position.
  Refer to Rear Cross Traf¿ c Alert (RCTA) on page 4-102 .
