To be able to operate systems using the garage door opener, the buttons in the control unit must
first be programmed .
A WARNING
When operating or programming the garage
door opener, make sure that no people or ob
jects are in the area immediately surrounding
the equipment . People can be injured or prop
erty can be damaged if struck when closing.
Open ing and closing
(D Tips
-For security reasons, we recommend that
you clear the programmed buttons before selling the vehicle.
- For add itiona l information about Homelink,
visit
www.homelink.com.
- For the Declaration of Conformity with the
provisions from the FCC in the United States
and Industry Canada, see ¢
page 304.
Operation
Applies to: vehicles with garage door opener (Home Link)
Fig. 28 Control pane l above the interior rearview mirror
Requirement: the button in the control panel
must be programmed ¢
page 34 and the vehi
cle must be located within range of the system,
such as the garage door.

Opening and closing
Programming the transmitter
Applies to: vehicles with garage door opener (Homelink)
Fig. 29 Distance between t he rad iator grille and the re
mote control transmitter
Programming the button : step 1 on the
control panel
1. Switch on the ignit ion.
2. Press both of the outside buttons on the con
trol unit¢
page 33, fig. 28 until the yellow
LED @turns off and the green LED@ blinks.
This procedure clears the standard codes that
were set at the factory and does
not need to
be repeated again to program the other but
tons.
3. Briefly press the button in the control panel
that you want to program.
4. Wait until the yellow LED@blinks. The pro
gramming mode is active for 5 minutes.
5. Go in front of the vehicle with the original re
mote control transmitter for the system that
you are programming to the control panel
button.
Programming the button: step 2 at the
radiator grille
6. Ho ld the remote control transmitter at the
vehicle radiator grille¢
fig. 29.
7. Now press the remote control transmitter
until the turn signals on your vehicle blink.
This can take up to 30 seconds.
8. If the emergency flashers blink three times,
the programming was successful.
If the
emergency flashers only b link one t ime, the
five-minute time limit for programming has
expired or the programming was unsuccess
ful. Repeat the programming starting from
the third step or change the distance to the
radiator grille.
34
9. If the garage door or other systems do not
open with the Homelink buttons even if the
programming was successfu l, the system
may use a rolling code instead of a fixed
code. You must also then perform
rolling
code programming
c:, page 35.
The other two buttons in the control panel can be
programmed using the instructions given above.
Start with step 3.
Deleting button programming
The programmed buttons cannot be deleted indi
vidually. They must be deleted all at once. Repro

(D Tips
- The distance needed between the remote
control transmitter and the Homelink mod
ule in the radiator grille
¢fig. 29 depends
on the system you are programming.
- Depending on the system model, you may
need to release the button on the remote
control transmitter while it is programming

Move the windshield wiper lever to the corre
sponding position:
@ -windshield w ipers off
@ -interval mode. To increase/decrease the wip
er intervals, move the switch ® to the left/right.
In vehicles with a rain sensor*, the wipers turn on in the rain once the vehicle speed exceeds ap
proximately 2 mph (4 km/h). The higher the sen
sitivity of the rain sensor* is set (switch ® to the
right), the earlier the windsh ield wipers react to
mo isture on the windsh ield. You can deact ivate
the rain sensor mode* in the Infotainment sys
tem, which switches the intermi ttent mode on.

to fast w iping.
® -clean the windshield To eliminate water
droplets, the windshield wipers perform one af
terwipe after several seconds while driving in
temperatures above 39 °F (4 °C). You can switch
this function off by moving the lever to position
@ within 10 seconds of the afterwipe . The after
wipe function is reactivated the next t ime you

® ·
A WARNING
--
- The rain sensor* is only intended to assist
the driver. The driver may still be responsi
ble for manually sw itch ing the w ipers on
based on visibility cond itions.
- The windsh ield may not be treated w ith wa
ter-repelling w indshield coating agents. Un
favorable condit ions, such as wetness, dark
ness, and when the sun is low, can cause in
creased glare, wh ich increases the risk of an
accident. Wiper blade chatter is also possi
b le.
- Properly functioning windshield wiper
b lad es are required for a cl ear v iew and safe
driving
<:::> page 42, Replacing windshield
wiper blades .
(D Note
-If there is frost, make sure the windshield
w iper blades are not frozen to the wind
shield. Switching on the windshield w ipers
when the blades are frozen to the wind
shield can damage the wiper blades.
- Prior to using a car wash, the w indshield
wiper system must be switched off (lever in
position 0). This prevents the wipers from
switching on unintentionally and caus ing
damage to the windsh ield wiper system.
(D Tips
- The windshie ld wipers switch off when the
ignition is switched off. You can activate the
w indshield wipers after the ignition is
switched back on by moving the w indshield
w iper lever to any position.
- Wor n or dirty windshield w iper blades result
in streaking. This can affect the rain sensor*
function . Check your w indshield w iper
blades regularly .
- The washer f luid nozzles in the windsh ield
