Programming the HomeLink^®Universal Transmitter

Operating the HomeLink^®Universal Transmitter

Depending on vehicle equipment, the vehicle may be equipped with a

Homelink^®Universal Transmitter.

The HomeLink^®Universal Transmitter in your vehicle can be used to

open/close an automatic garage door or gate, activate a house alarm,

or control a lighting system or other devices. Such devices usually

come with a hand-held remote control that sends a signal to a control-

ler to operate the device.

These instructions will help you program the HomeLink^®Universal

Transmitter in your vehicle so that you will not have to use the hand-

held remote control that was supplied with the garage door opener or

other device, inside your vehicle.

Fixed code or rolling code

The garage door opener or other device may work with either a fixed

or rolling code. For garage door openers or other devices with rolling

codes, the HomeLink^®Universal Transmitter must be synchronized

after programming the device ⇒ꢀProgramming the HomeLink® Uni-

versal Transmitter.

Compatibility

Volkswagen recommends that you consult an authorized Volkswagen

dealer or authorized Volkswagen Service Facility about compatible

devices before you buy a garage door opener or other device that

you want to control with the HomeLink^®Universal Transmitter.

The HomeLink^®Universal Transmitter can be programmed to the

radio frequency codes of most current hand-held remote controls.

Safety switches are mandatory for garage door openers.

A Declaration of Compliance with the United States FCC and Industry

Canada regulations is found on ⇒ꢀDeclaration of Compliance, Tele-

communications and Electronic Systems.

DANGER

20 mm button cells and other lithium batteries will cause seri-

ous personal injury and even death within a short time if swal-

lowed.

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 bat-

tery 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 open-

er 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 gar-

age 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 infor-

mation from the manufacturer when using the remote-

controlled garage door opener or electrical drive.
