The HOME LINK ® universal radio remote control gives you the convenience of using various devices such as garage/plot gates, security systems, home lighting, etc. without leaving your vehicle.
The HOME LINK ® universal radio remote control allows you to replace three different handheld transmitters of the respective devices with one (universal radio remote control). These devices most often include mechanisms for garage and exterior gates. Programming the bodypack transmitters for your radio remote control is done near the front bumper on the right. There is a control box.
To be able to control various devices with the HOME LINK ® universal radio remote control, you must first program the appropriate transmitter. If after the first programming the devices do not function, then these devices should be checked for the presence of a dynamic code.

Transmitter Programming
Programming of the HOME LINK ® universal radio remote control is carried out using the keys located in the driver's sun visor, as well as from the side of the front bumper.
From the sun visor
Driver sun visor
1. Turn on the ignition / engine is not running.
2. Press both outer keys of the HOME LINK ® universal remote control until the LED flashes (A) (after about 20 seconds).
3. Press the HOME LINK ® key you want to program.
4. Wait for the LED to flash (A). The five-minute programming phase of the HOME LINK ® module begins.
5. Get out of the car and stand in front of it with the original bodypack transmitter for the garage door opener or other device you want to program the HOME LINK ® key to.
From the front bumper
Right side of the front bumper
1. Hold the original bodypack transmitter approximately 0 - 30 cm away from under the right front headlight at the bumper of your car.
2. Press the power key of the original bodypack transmitter.
3. With the bodypack transmitter function enabled, observe the vehicle's direction indicators. A positive HOME LINK ® programming result is confirmed by the hazard warning light system flashing three times.
4. If the lights do not flash three times, repeat the programming process at a different distance from the bumper.
The distance between the bodypack transmitter and the HOME LINK ® module located in the bumper is determined by the device you wish to program. It may take several attempts to program.
Exceeding the five-minute programming step is confirmed by a single flash of the hazard warning light system. In this case, the programming step must be repeated on the sun visor side.
When programming the other two keys, follow the description above. Step 3 on the sun visor side should also be started if programming is carried out immediately after programming the first key.
If, after positive programming, however, the HOME LINK ® keys fail to open the garage door or other systems, then there is a possibility that a specific rolling code system is working. In this case, programming of dynamic code is necessary.
Dynamic Code Programming
Some devices require additional HOME LINK ® dynamic code programming.
Dynamic code identification
1. Press and hold down the HOME LINK ® key you previously programmed again.
2. Watch the HOME LINK® LED (A). If the diode flashes quickly at first and after 2 seconds it lights up continuously, this means that the dynamic code of the corresponding device is present, for example, a device for opening a garage door.
3. The dynamic code is programmed in the following sequence:
Enabling the function of the motor mechanism of the garage door opener
1. Find the setting key for the electric motor mechanism of the garage door opener. The exact location and color of the key depends on the brand of the device manufacturer.
2. Press the garage door opener motor mechanism setting key. (In this case, as a rule, the LED is on «settings» motor mechanism). You now have about 30 seconds to program the HOME LINK ® button located in the sun visor.
Programming from the sun visor
1. Press and release the HOME LINK ® key you previously programmed again.
2. To complete dynamic code programming, press the HOME LINK ® key again.
After programming the sun visor key, the garage door opener should recognize the HOME LINK ® signal and open the gate when the HOME LINK key is pressed. If necessary, other keys can now be programmed.
Warning: With the help of an assistant, the process of programming dynamic code can be simplified and accelerated. Some garage door openers require a third press of the HOME LINK ® key to complete the setup process.
If you have difficulty programming the dynamic code, it may be helpful to read the instruction manual for your garage door opener/other device.
Using HOME LINK
Programmed devices are accessed via the HOME LINK ® buttons located in the driver's sun visor.
1. Turn on the ignition / engine is not running.
2. Press the programmed HOME LINK ® key. The device programmed for this key is controlled (e.g. a garage door opener).
While the control keys are being manipulated, the HOME LINK® LED lights up.
Resetting programmed HOME LINK ® key data
With both outer control keys, it is possible to reset all programmed HOME LINK ® data.
1. Turn on the ignition / engine is not running.
2. Press both outer keys until the LED starts flashing.
3. Release the keys.
After resetting the HOME LINK ® universal radio key programming data, the device is back in setup mode and ready for new programming.
Warning: Separate reset of programmed keys is not possible.
Warning: For safety reasons, please reset your HOME LINK key programming before selling your vehicle.
Reprogramming one HOME LINK ® key
It is possible to reprogram one HOME LINK ® key without changing the programmed positions of other keys.
From the sun visor
1. Press the current HOME LINK ® key until the LED starts flashing slowly.
From the front bumper
1. Hold an original handheld garage door transmitter or other device about 0-30 cm away from the right front headlight at the bumper of your vehicle. The required distance is determined by the device you wish to program.
2. Press the power button on the original bodypack transmitter of the garage door opener or other device.
3. With the bodypack transmitter function enabled, observe the vehicle's direction indicators. A positive HOME LINK ® programming result is confirmed by the hazard warning light system flashing three times.
4. If the lights do not flash three times, repeat the programming process at a different distance from the bumper.
After the hazard warning light flashes three times, the previously programmed HOME LINK:® data is cleared and a new device is programmed. To use your new device, press the programmed HOME LINK ® key.
Warning: Programming may require several attempts. The duration of the installation process of each attempt must be at least 15 seconds. Only then can you move on to another position. Keep an eye on the direction indicator lights.
