pg. 190 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

HomeLink® Universal Transceiver

HomeLink® is an advanced system that can be programmed to learn the codes of three different remote controlled- devices (e.g., garage door openers, remote lighting, entry door lock). HomeLink®'s sun visor-mounted transceiver, powered by your car's electrical system, may then be used in place of your hand-held remote controls.

NOTE: For your security, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver is designed to not function if you lock your car from the outside.

Programming the transceiver

1. The ignition switch must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) before programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver.

2. Begin by erasing all 3 factory default channels. Hold down the two outside buttons (buttons 1 and 3 in the illustration) on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink® 's indicator light begins to flash. Then release the buttons.

3. Hold your hand-held transmitter (garage door opener, for example) 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface, keeping the indicator light in view. For placement questions, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1- 800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

4. Using two hands, push and hold both your hand-held transmitter's button and the transceiver button you wish to program. The indicator light will flash first slowly, then rapidly. Rapid flashing tells you the HomeLink® button has been successfully programmed. Release both buttons.

5. If you are programming a rolling code-equipped device (e.g., garage door opener or entry door lock), refer to "Programming rolling codes" on the next page to complete the programming process.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 to program the other two transceiver buttons.

If, after several attempts, you are unable to successfully train the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver to learn your hand-held transmitter's signal, contact HomeLink® toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

WARNING!

If you use HomeLink® to open a garage door or gate, be sure no one is near the gate or door while it is in motion. Do not use the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver with any garage door opener that lacks safety "stop" and

"reverse" features 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, signalling 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. For more information on this matter, call toll-free 1-800-355- 3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

pg. 191 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

NOTE - Canadian residents:

During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. To successfully train HomeLink® , continue to hold the HomeLink® button. At the same time, repeatedly press and hold your hand-held transmitter's button at two-second intervals until HomeLink® has learned your transmitter's code. The HomeLink® indicator light will flash first slowly, and then rapidly to indicate that the button has been successfully programmed.

Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code

Determining if your garage door uses a rolling code Determine, in one of the following ways, if your garage door uses a rolling code system and is manufactured after 1996:

Refer to the garage door opener owner's manual for verification. If your hand-held transmitter appears to program the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver but the programmed button

does not activate the garage door, your garage door opener may have a rolling code.

Press the programmed HomeLink® button. If the garage door opener has the rolling code feature, the HomeLink®

indicator light flashes rapidly and then glows steadily after approximately 2 seconds.

To train a rolling code garage door opener , follow these instructions after programming the desired transceiver button according to "Programming the transceiver." The help of a second person may make training easier.

1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit. The location and color of the training button may vary. If you encounter difficulty, refer to the garage door opener owner's manual or call toll-free 1-800-355-3515
(Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

2. Press the "training" button on the garage door opener motor head unit until the "training" light comes on.

3. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button. Press and release the programmed HomeLink® button a second time to complete the training process. Some garage door openers may require you to do this procedure a third time to complete the training.

The programmed button on your HomeLink® Universal Transceiver should now operate your garage door opener. The original hand-held transmitter can also be used, as desired, to operate the garage door.

The remaining two HomeLink® buttons can be programmed in the same way. In the event of any problems in programming the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver, call toll-free 1-800-355-3515 (Internet: www.HomeLink.com).

Operating the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver Once programmed, the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver can be used in place of your hand-held transmitters.

To operate, the key must be turned to the "accessory" position (II) or the engine must be running. Press the programmed HomeLink® button to activate the garage door, driveway gate, security lighting, home security system, etc.

Your original hand-held transmitters may, of course, be used at any time.

Erasing programmed buttons

Individual buttons cannot be erased. To erase all three programmed buttons:

1. Turn the ignition key to the "accessory" position (II).

2. Hold down the two outside buttons on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver for about 20 seconds, until HomeLink® 's indicator light begins to flash.

3. Release both buttons.

The HomeLink® buttons can be reprogrammed using the procedures described on the previous page.

(HomeLink® information is continued on the next page)

pg. 192 HomeLink® Universal Transceiver (option)

Reprogramming a single HomeLink® button

1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink® button. Do not release the button until step 3 has been completed.

2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after approximately 20 seconds), position the hand-held transmitter 2 to 5 in. (5 to 12 cm) away from the HomeLink® surface.

3. Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button. The HomeLink® indicator light will begin to flash, first slowly then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, release both buttons.

The previously programmed device has now been erased and the new device can be activated by pressing the HomeLink® button that has just been programmed. This procedure will not affect any other programmed HomeLink® buttons.

NOTE:

Retain the original transmitter(s) for future programming procedures (i.e., if you purchase a new car). It is also suggested that if you sell your car, the programmed channels on the HomeLink® Universal Transceiver be

erased for security purposes.

Accessory Installation - Important Warning

We strongly recommend that Volvo owners install only genuine, Volvo-approved accessories, and that accessory

installations be performed only by the factory-trained technicians at your authorized Volvo retailer.

Genuine Volvo accessories are tested to ensure compatibility with the performance, safety, and emission systems in your car. Additionally, your authorized Volvo retailer knows where accessories may and may not be safely installed in your Volvo. In all cases, please consult your authorized Volvo retailer before installing any accessory in or on your car.

Accessories that have not been approved by Volvo may or may not be specifically tested for compatibility with your

car. Additionally, an inexperienced installer may not be familiar with some of your car's systems.

Any of your car's performance and safety systems could be adversely affected if you install accessories that Volvo

has not tested, or if you allow accessories to be installed by someone unfamiliar with your car.

Damage caused by unapproved or improperly installed accessories may not be covered by your new car warranty.

See your Warranty and Service Records Information booklet for more warranty information. Volvo assumes no responsibility for death, injury, or expenses that may result from the installation of non-genuine accessories.

Driver Distraction

Driver distraction results from driver activities that are not directly related to controlling the car in the driving environment. Your new Volvo is, or can be, equipped with many feature-rich entertainment and communication systems. These include hands-free cellular telephones, navigation systems, and multipurpose audio systems. You may also own other portable electronic devices for your own convenience. When used properly and safely, they enrich the driving experience. Improperly used, any of these could cause a distraction.

For all of these systems, we want to provide the following warning that reflects the strong Volvo concern for your

safety:

parked.

Never use these devices or any feature of your vehicle in a way that distracts you from the task of driving safely.

In addition to this general warning, we offer the following guidance regarding specific newer features that may be

If your car is equipped with a navigation system, set and make changes to your travel itinerary only with the vehicle

Never program your audio system while the vehicle is moving. Program radio presets with the vehicle parked, and

use your programmed presets to make radio use quicker and simpler.

Never use portable computers or personal digital assistants while the vehicle is moving.

A driver has a responsibility to do everything possible to ensure his or her own safety and the safety of passengers in the vehicle and others sharing the roadway. Avoiding distractions is part of that responsibility.

The following should be checked regularly: *

1 Washer fluid reservoir should be filled with water and solvent (wintertime: windshield washer anti-freeze). See page 119.

2 Coolant level should be between the expansion tank marks. Mixture: 50% anti-freeze and 50% water. See page 120.

3 Power steering - When cold, the level must not be above the COLD mark and when hot it must not be above the HOT mark. Top up if the level drops to the ADD mark with ATF fluid. See page 118.

4 Engine oil level should be between the dipstick marks. The distance between the marks represents approx. 1.6 US qts (1.5 liters). See page 116.

5 Brake fluid - check, without removing the cap, that the level is above the MIN mark. Use brake fluid DOT 4+. See page 118.

* Engine oil should be checked each time the car is refuelled.
