DANGER

20 mm button cells and other lithium batteries will cause serious personal injury and even

death within a short time if swallowed.

ꢀ Always keep hand-held remote control devices with batteries, spare batteries, as well as

dead button cell and larger 20 mm batteries out of the reach of children.

ꢀ

Get medical attention immediately if you suspect that a battery has been swallowed.

WARNING

Improper use of the HomeLink^®Universal Transmitter can cause serious or even fatal

personal injury.

ꢀ

Garage doors operate with enough force to cause serious personal injury.

Never let anyone get in the way of a garage door when it is opening or closing.

When programming the HomeLink^®Universal Transmitter, you may be operating a garage

door or estate gate. Always make sure that people and objects are out of the way to help

prevent serious personal injury or property damage.

ꢀ When operating the “training” button on a garage door opener with a rolling code, you will

need to stand on a ladder or step-stool. Always take extra precautions to prevent falls and

serious injury.

Never use the HomeLink^®Universal Transmitter with any garage door opener that does

ꢀ

not have the safety stop-and-reverse feature, as required by federal safety standards. This

includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.

ꢀ

A garage door opener that cannot detect an object, signaling the door to stop and reverse,

does not meet current federal safety standards. Using a garage door opener without these

features increases the risk of serious injury or death.

ꢀ Follow the installation manual and the included safety information from the manufacturer

when using the remote-controlled garage door opener or electrical drive.

NOTICE

The wrong batteries can damage the hand-held remote control. Replace a dead battery with

one that has the same voltage, size, and specifications.

Please dispose of old batteries properly and in an environmentally responsible manner. Always

keep them out of the reach of children.

Certain batteries used in hand-held remote controls are classified as Perchlorate Material.

Special handling may apply – see http://www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate. Obey all legal

requirements regarding proper disposal. Authorized Volkswagen dealers and authorized Volkswagen

Service Facilities are familiar with the requirements, and we recommend that you have them perform

this service for you.
