HomeLink^®*²²

Recovery

WARNING

HomeLink^®23is a programmable remote con-

trol, integrated in the vehicle electrical sys-

tem, that can control up to three different

devices (e.g. garage door opener, alarm sys-

tem, outdoor and indoor lighting) and thereby

replace the remote controls for these.

This section refers to transporting the vehicle

with a tow truck or similar vehicle.

Call a professional towing service for assis-

tance.

No person or object should be behind the

tow truck when the vehicle is lifted onto

the bed of the truck.

In certain conditions, the towing eyelet can be

used to pull the vehicle onto a flatbed tow

truck.

CAUTION

The towing eyelet is only intended for tow-

ing on roads, and must not be used to pull

vehicles from ditches or any similar pur-

pose involving severe strain. Call a tow

truck for professional assistance.

General

For vehicles equipped with leveling con-

trol*: If the vehicle is equipped with pneumatic

suspension, this feature must be turned off

before the vehicle is lifted onto a tow truck.

Turning off the function in the center display.

CAUTION

Tap Settings in the Top view.

Note that the vehicle must always be

towed with the wheels rolling forward.

2. Tap My Car Parking Brake and

Suspension.

Select Disable Leveling Control.

The vehicle's location and ground clearance

determine if it can be lifted onto a tow truck. If

the incline of the tow truck is too steep or if

the ground clearance under the vehicle is

insufficient, attempting to pull it up may result

in damage. In this case, the vehicle should

only be lifted with the tow truck's lifting equip-

ment.

STARTING AND DRIVING

HomeLink^®is delivered integrated in the rear-

view mirror. The HomeLink^®panel consists of

three programmable buttons and an indicator

light in the mirror.

Programming HomeLink^®*²⁴

Follow these instructions to program

HomeLink^®, reset all programming, or pro-

gram individual buttons.

1. Point the remote control at the

HomeLink^®button to be programmed and

hold it about 2-8 cm (1-3 inches) from the

button. Do not obstruct the HomeLink^®

indicator light.

For more information about HomeLink^®,

please visit: www.HomeLink.com or call

1-800-355-3515.

NOTE

Note: Some remote controls are more

effective at programming HomeLink^®from

a distance of about 15-20 cm (6-12

inches). Keep this in mind if you experi-

ence any programming difficulties.

In some vehicles, the ignition must be on

or in the "accessory position" before

HomeLink^®can be programmed or used. It

can be a good idea to put new batteries in

the remote control being replaced by

HomeLink^®for faster programming and

better radio signal transmission. The

HomeLink^®buttons should be reset before

programming.

Save the original remote controls for future

programming (e.g. for use in another vehicle).

It is also advisable to delete the button pro-

gramming if the vehicle is sold.

2. Press and hold both the remote control

button and the HomeLink^®button to be

programmed.

Once HomeLink^®is programmed, it can be

used instead of the separate remote controls.

Press and hold the programming button. The

garage door, gate, alarm system, etc. will be

activated (this may take several seconds). If

the button is held down for more than 20 sec-

onds, reprogramming will begin. The indicator

light will glow steadily or flash when the but-

ton has been pressed. The original remote

controls may be used concurrently with

HomeLink^®if desired.

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.

Type approval for HomeLink^®* (p. 452)

Do not use HomeLink^®with any

garage door opener that lacks safety

stop and reverse features as required

by US federal safety standards (this

includes any garage door opener model

manufactured 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 standards. For more
