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.

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 environmental-

ly 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.
