HomeLink(Applies to certain markets)
HomeLink (HomeLink and the HomeLink house symbol are registered trademarks of Gentex Corporation) is a programmable remote control integrated into the car’s electrical system. It can control up to three different devices remotely, e.g. a garage door opener or alarm system, and hence replace the remote controls for these.
The figure is schematic – the version may vary.
- Programmable buttons
- Indicator lamp
HomeLink is built into the interior rearview mirror and consists of three programmable buttons and one indicator lamp in the mirror glass.
Note
Save the original remote controls for future reprogramming (e.g. when changing to another car or for use in another vehicle).It is also recommended that the programming for the buttons should be deleted when the car is sold.

Using HomeLink(Option/accessory)
When HomeLink® is fully programmed it can be used in place of the separate original remote controls. Depress the programmed button. The garage door, gate, alarm system, or similar is activated (may take a few seconds). If the button is depressed for more than 20 seconds then the reprogramming is started. The indicator lamp illuminates or flashes when the button has been depressed. Naturally, the original remote controls can still be used in parallel with HomeLink® if required.
Note
When the ignition has been switched off, HomeLink® works for at least 7 minutes. HomeLink® cannot be used if the car is locked and the alarm is armed from the outside.
