Component Tests and General Diagnostics
ELECTROCHROMIC INSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORINSPECTION
To determine if the EC mirror will dim, check it per the below procedure.
1. Turn the ignition key to the "ON" position.
2. Cover the front looking sensor.
3. Shine a flashlight into the rearward looking sensor.
4. The mirror should dim as soon as the rearward looking sensor detects the high light level.
NOTE: If this test is performed in a bright area, the mirror may darken as soon as the front looking sensor is covered.
5. Put the vehicle into reverse, the mirror should not dim.
6. Aim a flashlight at the front looking sensor and another flashlight at the rearward looking sensor. The mirror should not darken.
HOMELINK MIRROR (IF INSTALLED)
Your new vehicle comes equipped with a Gentex Night Vision Safety mirror. During nighttime driving, this safety feature will automatically detect and eliminate dangerous rearview mirror glare.
Your new mirror also 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.
AUTOMATIC-DIMMING FUNCTION
To protect your vision during nighttime driving, your mirror will automatically dim upon detecting glare from the vehicles traveling behind you.
Press the (2) button to turn the automatic-dimming function off. The mirror indicator light will turn off.
Press the (1) button to turn the automatic-dimming function on. The mirror indicator light will illuminate.
NOTE: The mirror defaults to the "on" position each time the vehicle is started.
HOMELINK PROGRAMMING
CAUTION
- Make sure people and/or objects are out of the way of any garage doors or gates you may be operating during the programming procedures.
- Do not use HomeLink with any garage door opener that lacks the safety stop and reverse feature as required by federal safety standards (includes garage doors manufactured before April 1, 1982), as these doors can increase the risk of serious injury or death. Call 1.800.355.3515 or visit www.homelink.com for more information.
- Keep original transmitters for potential future programming needs, or in case you sell the vehicle.
- In the event you do sell your vehicle, it's recommended you erase your programmed HomeLink mirror buttons.
PROGRAMMING
Your vehicles may require the ignition switch 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 radio-frequency.
Follow these steps to train your HomeLink mirror:
1. When programming the buttons for the first time, press and hold the two outside HomeLink buttons (1), (2) releasing when the indicator light begins to flash (approximately 20 seconds). This procedure erases the factory-set default codes. Do not perform this step when programming additional transmitters.
2. Hold the transmitter of the device you want to train 1 to 3 inches away from the bottom of the mirror. Simultaneously press the hand-held transmitter button and the HomeLink button you wish to train. The indicator light will flash slowly at first, then rapidly, indicating successful programming.
3. If the garage door opener or other device you wish to train is rolling-code equipped, proceed to the "Rolling Code Programming" section.
4. Repeat step 2 to program the remaining HomeLink buttons.
ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING FOR ROLLING CODE DEVICES
For any rolling-code-equipped device; follow the steps below after completing the "Programming" section. A second person may make the following steps easier.
1. Locate the "learn" or "smart" button on the device's motor head unit. The exact location and color of the button varies by product brand, but is usually referenced in the device's owner's manual. Contact HomeLink at 1.800.355.3515 or www.homelink.com for help.
2. Press and release the "learn" or "smart" button on the device's motor head unit.
NOTE: You now have 30 seconds to initiate step 3.
3. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and release the programmed HomeLink button. Press and release the same HomeLink button a second time to complete the training process. (Some devices may require you to press and release a third time to complete the training.)
4. Now your HomeLink mirror and the rolling-code-equipped device should be synchronized. The remaining HomeLink buttons may now be programmed if this has not been done previously.
OPERATING HOMELINK
Now your HomeLink mirror and the rolling-code-equipped device should be synchronized. The remaining HomeLink buttons may now be programmed if this has not been done previously.
ERASING PROGRAMMED BUTTONS
To erase the three HomeLink buttons, press and hold the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to flash (after 20 seconds). Release both buttons.
Individual buttons cannot be erased, but can be reprogrammed.
REPROGRAMMING SINGLE HOME LINK BUTTON
To program a device to HomeLink using a HomeLink button previously 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), hold the handheld transmitter 1 to 3 inches away from the bottom of the mirror.
3. Press and hold the transmitter button (or, if necessary, press and "cycle," as described in the '"Gate Operator & Canadian Programming" portion of this text).
4. The HomeLink indicator light will flash slowly at first, then rapidly, indicating successful programming. Release both buttons.
GATE OPERATOR PROGRAMMING & CANADIAN PROGRAMMING
During programming, your hand-held transmitter may automatically stop transmitting.
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink button while you press and repress ("cycle") your handheld transmitter every two seconds until the frequency signal has been learned. The indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly upon successful training.
NOTE: If programming a garage door opener or gate, it is advised to unplug the device during the "cycling" process to prevent possible motor burnout.
