Get Garage Door Opener Guide for Volkswagen Routan SUV First Generation (2009-2014)

GARAGE DOOR OPENER — IF EQUIPPED

HomeLink௡ replaces up to three remote controls (hand-

held transmitters) that operate devices such as garage

door openers, motorized gates, lighting or home security

systems. The HomeLink௡ unit operates off your vehicle’s

battery.

The HomeLink௡ buttons that are located in the headliner

or sun visor designate the three different HomeLink௡

channels.

Programming HomeLinkா

WARNING!

Before You Begin

If you have not trained any of the HomeLink௡ buttons,

erase all channels before you begin training.

•

Your motorized door or gate will open and close

while you are training the universal transceiver.

Do not train the transceiver if people, pets or other

objects are in the path of the door or gate. Only use

this transceiver with a garage door opener that has

a “stop and reverse” feature as required by Federal

safety standards. This includes most garage door

opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not

use a garage door opener without these safety

features. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the

Internet at www.HomeLink.com for safety infor-

mation or assistance.

To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for up

to 20 seconds until the red indicator flashes.

It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the

handheld transmitter of the device that is being copied to

HomeLink௡ for more efficient training and accurate

transmission of the radio-frequency signal.

Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage

when programming.

•

Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a dan-

gerous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage

while training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can

cause serious injury or death.

Begin Programming

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position.

2. Hold the battery side of the handheld transmitter

away from the HomeLink௡ button you wish to program.

Place the handheld transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) away

from the HomeLink௡ button you wish to program while

keeping the indicator light in view.

•

After training a HomeLink௡ channel, if the garage

door does not operate with HomeLink௡ and the ga-

rage door opener was manufactured after 1995, the

garage door opener may have a rolling code. If so,

proceed to Step 5 “Programming A Rolling Code

System.”
