80 02 Instruments and controls HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option) Introduction HomeLink 1 is a system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled-devices (for example, a garage door opener, remote lighting, entry gate). HomeLink's sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your handheld remote controls. The HomeLink transceiver consists of three programmable buttons and an indicator light. 1 HomeLink is a registered trademark Johnson Controls, Intl. ® JCI, All rights reserved NOTE For your security, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your car from the outside. Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (for example, if you purchase a new vehicle). For your own security, erase all programmed buttons on the HomeLink Universal Transceiver when you sell your vehicle. Metallic sun protection films should not be used on any windows in a vehicle equipped with HomeLink Universal Transceiver. This could interfere with the transceivers function. Operating the HomeLink Universal Transceiver Once programmed, the HomeLink Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your handheld transmitters. NOTE The HomeLink universal transceiver will function for 30 minutes after the driver's door has been opened without switching on the vehicle's ignition. Press the programmed HomeLink button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lightning, home security system etc. Your original hand-held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time. WARNING If you use HomeLink to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion.
