signal cancels automatically.
Lane change signal
Move the lever up or down until the turn signal

the lever does not latch, and release the lever.
The turn signal will automatically flash threetimes. Choose the appropriate method to signal
a lane change based on road and traffic condi-
tions.
High beam headlights
To switch on the high beam headlights:
•Turn the ignition switch to the ON position or
start the engine.
•Turn the light switch toor
•Press the combination switch beyond the

ADAPTIVE FRONT LIGHTING SYSTEM
(LED HEADLIGHT ONLY) (IF EQUIPPED)
The Adaptive Front Lighting System is a system
that adjusts the headlights automatically to suit
the prevailing driving and weather conditions. It
offers advanced functions for improved illumi-
nation of the road surface, e.g. depending on
the vehicle speed or weather conditions. The
system includes the active light function, cor-
nering light function and freeway mode. The
system is only active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the “Adaptive
Front Lighting System” function using the ve-
hicle information display (see Switching the
Adaptive Front Lighting System on/off earlier in
this section)
NIC2618
Instruments and controls2-65
Active light function
The active light function is a system that moves
the headlights according to the steering move-
ments of the front wheels. In this way relevant
areas remain illuminated while you are driving.
This helps you to recognize pedestrians, cy-
clists and animals. It is active when the lights
are switched on.
Cornering light function
The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only be
activated when the low-beam headlights are
switched on. It is active if you are driving at
speeds below 25 MPH (40 km/h) and switch on
the turn signal or turn the steering wheel.
The cornering light function may remain lit for a
short time, but is automatically switched off
after no longer than three minutes.
Freeway mode
Freeway mode adjusts the light beam to reduce
the amount of light that shines on the opposite
lane of the freeway, and oncoming traffic.
Freeway mode is active if you are driving at a
speed above 68 MPH (110 km/h) and do not
make any large steering movements for at least
3300 ft (1000 m) or if you are driving at a speed
above 81 MPH (130 km/h).
It is not active if you are driving at speeds below
50 MPH (80 km/h) following activation.

so, vary the distance between the hand held
transmitter
5and the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between the hand
held transmitter
5and the integrated ga-
rage door opener depends on the garage
door drive system. Several attempts might
be necessary. You should test every position
for at least 25 seconds before trying another
position.
Synchronizing the rolling code
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronize the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this you
will need to use the programing button on the
door drive control panel. The programing button
may be positioned at different locations de-
pending on the manufacturer. It is usually lo-
cated on the door drive unit on the garage
ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door drive
operating instructions before carrying out the
following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach of the garage
door or gate opener drive. Make sure that
neither your vehicle nor any persons/ objects
are present within the sweep of the door or
gate.
1. Turn the ignition key to the ON position.
2. Get out of the vehicle.
3. Press the programing button on the door drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to initiate
the next step.
4. Get into the vehicle. 5. Press previously programed button
2,3or4on the HomeLink® until the door
closes.
The rolling code synchronization is then com-
plete.
If you live in Canada
Canadian radio frequency laws require a break
(or interruption) of the transmission signals
after broadcasting for a few seconds. Therefore,
these signals may not last long enough for the
integrated garage door opener. The signal is not
recognized during programing. Comparable
with Canadian law, some U.S. garage door
openers also feature a break.
Proceed as follows:
•If you live in Canada
•If you have difficulties programing the ga-
rage door opener (regardless of where you
live) when using the programing steps.

Several attempts might be necessary. You

seconds before trying another position.
PROGRAMMING TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
If the HomeLink® does not quickly learn the
hand-held transmitter information:
•Check the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive hand-held transmitter
5and whether it is supported. The transmitter
frequency can usually be found on the back
of the garage door drive hand-held transmit-
ter. HomeLink® is compatible with devices
that have units which operate in the fre-
quency range of 280 to 433 MHz.
•Replace the hand-held transmitter5batter-
ies with new batteries.
This increases the likelihood that the hand-
held transmitter
5will transmit a strong
and precise signal to the HomeLink®.
•When programing, hold the hand-held trans-
mitter
5at varying distances and angles
from the button which you are programing.
Try various angles at a distance between 2
and 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) or at the same
angle but at varying distances.
•If another hand-held transmitter is available
for the same garage door drive, repeat the
same programing steps with this hand-held
transmitter
5. Before performing these
steps, make sure that new batteries have been installed in the hand-held transmitter
5.
•Note that some hand-held transmitters only
transmit for a limited amount of time (the
indicator lamp on the hand-held transmitter
goes out). Press button
6on remote hand-
held transmitter
5again before transmis-
sion ends.
•Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/ transmission.

culty programming your HomeLink® buttons,

www.homelink.com or 1-800-355-3515.

When the doors are locked using one of the
following methods, the doors cannot be opened
using the inside or outside door handles. The
doors must be unlocked to open the doors.
WARNING
•Before opening any door, always look for
and avoid oncoming traffic.
•Do not leave children unattended inside the
vehicle. They could unknowingly activate
