Inside rearview mirror

Adjust the rearview mirror so that the center view through the rear window is seen. Make this adjustment before you start driving.

Do not place objects in the rear seat or cargo area which would interfere with your vision through the rear window.

WARNING

Mirror adjustment

Do not adjust the rearview mirror while the vehicle is moving. This could result in loss of control.

NOTICE

Do not modify the inside mirror in any manner, including installing a wide mirror. Doing so could result in injury during an accident or deployment of the air bag.

CAUTION

Cleaning mirror

When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror. It may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

Day/night rearview mirror (if equipped)

Make this adjustment before you start driving and while the day/night lever is in the day position (1).

* (1): Day, (2): Night

Pull the day/night lever toward you (2) to reduce the glare from the headlights of the vehicles behind you when driving at night.

Remember that you lose some rearview clarity in the night position.

Electric Chromic Mirror (ECM) (if equipped)

The electric rearview mirror automatically controls the glare from the headlights of the vehicles behind you at night or in low-light driving conditions.

The sensor (3) mounted in the mirror senses the light level around the vehicle, and automatically controls the headlight glare from the vehicles behind you.

When the engine is running, the glare is automatically controlled by the sensor mounted in the rearview mirror. Whenever the shift lever is shifted into reverse (R), the mirror will automatically go to the brightest setting in order to improve the drivers view behind the vehicle.

CAUTION

Cleaning mirror

When cleaning the mirror, use a paper towel or similar material dampened with glass cleaner. Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror. It may cause the liquid cleaner to enter the mirror housing.

HomeLink® Wireless Control system

  1. Homelink buttons

  2. Indicator light

  3. Glare detection sensor

Your new mirror comes with an integrated HomeLink Universal Transceiver, which allows you to program the mirror to activate your garage door(s), estate gate, home lighting, etc. The mirror actually learns the codes from your various existing transmitters.

Retain the original transmitter for future programming procedures (i.e., new vehicle purchase). It is also suggested that upon the sale of the vehicle, the programmed HomeLink buttons be erased for security purposes (follow step More Details in More Details).

Programming HomeLink

Your vehicle may require the ENGINE START/STOP button to be turned to the ACC position for programming and/or operation of HomeLink. It is also recommended that a new battery be replaced in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLink for quicker training and accurate transmission of the radiofrequency.

Follow these steps to train your HomeLink mirror:

  1. When programming the buttons for the first time, press and hold the left and center buttons (, ) simultaneously until the indicator light begins to flash after approximately 20 seconds. (This procedure erases the factory-set default codes. Do not perform this step when programming the additional HomeLink buttons.)

    1. Flashing

    NOTICE

    For non-rolling code garage door openers, follow steps More Details- More Details.

    For rolling code garage door openers, follow steps More Details- More Details.

    For Canadian Programming, please follow the Canadian Programming section. For help with determining whether your garage door opener is non-rolling code or rolling code, please refer to the garage door openers owner's manual or contact HomeLink customer service at 1- 800-355-3515.

  2. Press and hold the button on the HomeLink system you wish to train and the button on the transmitter while the transmitter is approximately 1~3 inches (2~8 cm) away from the mirror. Do not release the buttons until step 3 has been completed.

    1. Flashing

    2. Transmitter

  3. The HomeLink indicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapid flashing light indicates successful programming of the new frequency signal.)

NOTICE

Some gate and garage door openers may require you to replace step More Details with the "cycling" procedure noted in the "Canadian Programming" section of this document.

Programming rolling code

To train a garage door opener (or other rolling code equipped devices) with the rolling code feature, follow these instructions after completing More Details. (A second person assisting may make the following training procedures quicker & easier.)

  1. Locate the "learn" or "smart" button on the device's motor head unit. Exact location and color of the button may vary by product brand. If there is difficulty locating the "learn" or "smart" button, reference the device's owner's manual or contact HomeLink at 1-800- 355-3515 or on the internet at www.homelink.com.

  2. Press and release the "learn" or "smart" button on the device's motor head unit. You have 30 seconds to complete step More Details.

  3. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and release the programmed HomeLink button up to three times. The rolling code equipped device should now recognize the HomeLink signal and activate when the HomeLink button is pressed. The remaining two buttons may now be programmed if they have not already been programmed. Refer to More Details.

Operating HomeLink

To operate, simply press the programmed HomeLink button.

Activation will now occur for the trained product (garage door, security system, entry door lock, estate gate, or home or office lighting). For convenience, the hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. The HomeLink Wireless Controls system (once programmed) or the original hand-held transmitter may be used to activate the device (e.g., garage door, entry door lock, etc.). In the event that there are still programming difficulties, contact HomeLink at 1-800-355-3515 or on the internet at www.homelink.com.

Erasing programmed HomeLink buttons

To erase the three programmed buttons (individual buttons cannot be erased):

  • Press and hold the left and center buttons simultaneously, until the indicator light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds). Release both buttons. Do not hold for longer than 30 seconds.

HomeLink is now in the train (or learning) mode and can be programmed at any time.

Reprogramming a single HomeLink button

To program a device to HomeLink using a HomeLink button that has already been trained, follow these steps:

1
Press and hold the desired HomeLink button. Do NOT release until step 4 has been completed.
2
When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after 20 seconds), position the hand-held transmitter 1~3 inches (2~8 cm) away from the HomeLink surface.
3
Press and hold the hand-held transmitter button (or press and "cycle" - as described in "Canadian Programming").
4
The HomeLink indicator light will flash, first slowly and then rapidly. When the indicator light begins to flash rapidly, release both buttons.

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

Canadian Programming Garage & gate openers

During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting. Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button (note steps More Details through More Details in More Details) while you press and re-press ("cycle") your handheld transmitter every two seconds until the frequency signal has been learned. Upon successful training, the indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly after several seconds.
