HomeLink® Wireless Control System

The HomeLink® Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to three hand-held radio-frequency remotes used to activate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security systems, and even home lighting. The below steps are generic programming instructions; for Genie and Sommer garage door openers, please go directly to the HomeLink website. Additional information and programming videos can be found at www.HomeLink.com and www.youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex.

CAUTION

• Before programming HomeLink to a garage door opener or gate operator, make sure that people and objects are out of the way of the device to prevent potential harm or damage.
• When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park outside of the garage.
• Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features, as required by U.S. federal safety standards (this includes any gar-age door opener model manufac-tured before April 1, 1982). A garage door that cannot detect an object signaling the door to stop and reverse does not meet current U.S. federal safety stan-dards.
• It is also recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held remote (garage door opener remote) of the device for quicker and more accurate training.
• Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the “ON” or “ACC” position for pro-gramming and/or operation of HomeLink.

Using HomeLink

To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLink button. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e. garage door opener, gate operator, secur-ity system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.). For convenience, the hand-held remote of the device may also be used at any time.

Erasing HomeLink Buttons

To erase programming from the three buttons (individual buttons cannot be erased but can be “reprogrammed” as outlined below), follow the step noted: Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons for at least 10 seconds. The LED indicator will change from continuously lit to rapidly flashing. Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than 20 seconds. HomeLink is now ready to be programmed at any time beginning with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” step 1.

Reprogramming a Single HomeLink Button

To program a previously trained button, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to slowly flash orange after 20 seconds. The HomeLink button can be released at this point. Proceed with “Programming a New HomeLink Button” step 3.
3. If you do not complete the programming of a new device to the button, it will revert to the previously stored programming.

Garage Door Two-Way Communication

WARNING

• When programming the HomeLink® Wireless Control System, you may be operating a garage door opener or another device. Make sure that people and objects are out of the way of the garage door or other device to prevent potential harm or damage.
• Do not use the HomeLink® Wireless Control System with a gar-age door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by applicable safety standards. A garage door opener that cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse, does not meet these safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these features increases risk of serious injury or death. For more information, consult the HomeLink® website at www.HomeLink.com/Subaru or call 1-800-355-3515.

2. Select the language using the center button and press the left button.

NOTE

• If the button is not touched for 30 seconds, the language setting menu will exit.

Outside mirrors

Convex mirror (passenger side)

WARNING

Objects look smaller in a convex mirror and farther away than when viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use the convex mirror to judge the distance of vehicles behind you when changing lanes. Use the inside mirror (or glance backwards) to determine the actual size and distance of objects that you view in a convex mirror.

Remote control mirror switch

• : Select the side to adjust
• : Direction control

The remote control mirrors operate only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position.

1. Turn the control switch to the side that you want to adjust. “L” is for the left mirror, “R” is for the right mirror.
2. Move the control switch in the direction you want to move the mirror.
3. Return the control switch to the neutral position to prevent unintentional operation.

The mirrors can also be adjusted manually.

Power folding mirror switch (if equipped)

The power-folding mirror switch operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” or “ACC” position. To fold the outside mirrors, press the power folding mirror switch. To unfold the mirrors, press the switch again.

NOTE

• If the outside mirrors have been operated (folded or unfolded) manually, when you turn the ignition switch from the “LOCK/OFF” position to the “ACC” or “ON” position, the outside mirrors may be adjusted automatically depending on the status of the power-folding mirror switch.
• If the outside mirrors have been manually folded slightly forward of the regularly unfolded position, when you turn the ignition switch from the “LOCK/OFF” position to the “ACC” or “ON” position, the outside mirrors may automatically fold further forward depending on the status of the power-folding mirror switch. When this happens, press the power folding mirror switch. By doing so, the outside mirrors which have been folded to the furthest forward position will extend to the regularly unfolded position and then fold rearward in the usual way. In order to unfold the outside mirrors, press the switch again.
• When you unfold the outside mirrors manually, the mirrors may become wobbly. Be sure to unfold the mirrors by switch operation. If the outside mirrors are still wobbly, fold the mirrors again and then unfold them by switch operation.
• When the temperature is low, the outside mirrors may stop during switch operation. If that occurs, push the switch again. When the outside mirrors do not work by switch operation, move them several times manually. This makes it possible to operate them by switch operation.
• When you operate the power folding mirror switch continuously, it may not work. This is not a malfunction. Operate the switch again after waiting for a short period of time.
