Automatic–Dimming Mirror with HomeLink®

Your new vehicle comes with an Automatic-Dimming Mirror with an Integrated

®

HomeLink

Wireless Control System. During nighttime driving, this safety feature will
automatically detect and eliminate dangerous rearview mirror glare while the
HomeLink

®

Universal Transceiver allows you to activate your garage door(s), estate
gate, home lighting, etc.

Automatic-Dimming Mirror

The Automatic-Dimming Mirror in your vehicle is the most advanced way to eliminate
dangerous and annoying glare in the rearview mirror during any driving situation. For
more information regarding Gentex Corporation mirrors and other applications, please
refer to the Gentex website:
www.gentex.com.

Precautions

The Automatic-Dimming Mirror automatically reduces glare during driving conditions
based upon light levels monitored in front of the vehicle and from the rear of the vehicle.
These light sensors are visible through openings in the front and rear of the mirror case.
Any object that would obstruct either light sensor will degrade the automatic dimming
control feature.

Automatic-Dimming Function

To protect your vision during nighttime driving, your mirror will automatically dim upon
detecting glare from the vehicles traveling behind you. The auto-dimming function is
active when the Ignition is “ON” and cannot be disabled.

Integrated HomeLink® Wireless Control System

The HomeLink® Wireless Control System provides a convenient way to replace up to
three hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters with a single built-in device. This
innovative feature will learn the radio frequency codes of most current transmitters to
operate devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, entry door locks, security
systems, even home lighting. Both standard and rolling code-equipped transmitters can
be programmed by following the outlined procedures. Additional HomeLink® information
can be found at: www.homelink.com or by calling 1-800-355-3515.

Precautions

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. Do not use HomeLink® with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop
and reverse features as required by U.S. 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. Using a garage door opener without these features
increases the risk of serious injury or death.

Retain the original transmitter of the RF device you are programming for use in other
vehicles as well as for future HomeLink® programming. It is also suggested that upon
the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink® buttons be erased for security
purposes.

Programming HomeLink®
Notes:

• When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park the vehicle outside of

the garage.

• It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the

®

device being programmed to HomeLink

for quicker training and accurate

transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

• Some vehicles may require the ignition switch to be turned to the second (or

“accessories”) position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink.

• In the event that there are still programming difficulties or questions after following

the programming steps listed below, contact HomeLink

®

at: www.homelink.com or

1–800–355–3515.

Standard Programming

To train most devices, follow these instructions:

®

1. For first-time programming, press and hold the two outside buttons, HomeLink

Channel 1 and Channel 3 Buttons, until the indicator light begins to flash (after 20
seconds). Release both buttons. Do not hold the buttons for longer than 30 seconds.

2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from the

HomeLink

®

buttons while keeping the indicator light in view.
