Outside Mirrors Folding Feature

All outside mirrors are designed to be able to be

manually folded both forward and rearward to

prevent damage.

Folding Mirror

WARNING!

Vehicles and other objects seen in the

passenger side convex mirror will look smaller

and farther away than they really are. Relying too

much on your passenger side convex mirror

could cause you to collide with another vehicle

or other object. Use your inside mirror when

judging the size or distance of a vehicle seen in

the passenger side convex mirror. Some vehicles

will not have a convex passenger side mirror.

CAUTION!

It is recommended to fold the mirrors into the

full rearward position to resist damage when

entering a car wash or a narrow location.

Before programming a device to one of your

HomeLink® buttons, you must determine whether

the device has a rolling code or non-rolling code.
Rolling Code Devices
To determine if your device has a rolling code, a

good indicator is its manufacturing date. Typically,

devices manufactured after 1995 have rolling

codes. A device with a rolling code will also have a

“LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the

antenna is attached to the device. The button may

not be immediately visible when looking at the

device. The name and color of the button may vary

slightly by manufacturer.
NOTE:

The “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button is not the button

you normally use to operate the device.
Non-rolling Code Devices
Most devices manufactured before 1995 will not

have a rolling code. These devices will also not

have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.

ROGRAMMING

For programming transmitters in Canada/United

States that require the transmitter signals to

“time-out” after several seconds of transmission.
Canadian radio frequency laws require transmitter

signals to time-out (or quit) after several seconds

of transmission – which may not be long enough

for HomeLink® to pick up the signal during

programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some

U.S. gate operators are designed to time-out in the

same manner.
It may be helpful to unplug the device during the

cycling process to prevent possible overheating of

the garage door or gate motor.

WARNING!



Your motorized door or gate will open and

close while you are programming the universal

transceiver. Do not program the transceiver if

people or pets are in the path of the door or

gate.



Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or

confined area while programming the trans

Intermittent Wipers
The intermittent feature of this system was

designed for use when weather conditions make a

single wiping cycle, with a variable pause between

cycles, desirable. For maximum delay between

cycles, rotate the control knob upward to the first

detent.
The delay interval decreases as you rotate the

knob until it enters the low continual speed

position. The delay can be regulated from a

maximum of about 18 seconds between cycles, to

a cycle every one second. The delay intervals will

double in duration when the vehicle speed is

10 mph (16 km/h) or less.
Windshield Washers
To use the windshield washer, push the washer

knob, located on the end of the multifunction lever,

inward and hold. Washer fluid will be sprayed and

the wiper will operate for two to three cycles after

the washer knob is released.
If the washer knob pushed while in the delay range,

the wiper will operate for several seconds after the

washer knob is released. It will then resume the

intermittent interval previously selected. If the

washer knob is pushed while in the off position, the

wiper will turn on and cycle approximately three

times after the wash knob is released.

To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer

system in cold weather, select a solution or mixture

that meets or exceeds the temperature range of

your climate. This rating information can be found

on most washer fluid containers.

Mist
When a single wipe to clear off road mist or spray

from a passing vehicle is needed, push the washer

knob, located on the end of the multifunction lever,

inward briefly and release. The wipers will cycle

one time and automatically shut off.
NOTE:

The mist feature does not activate the washer

pump; therefore, no washer fluid will be sprayed on

the windshield. The wash function must be used in

order to spray the windshield with washer fluid.

windshield and automatically activates the wipers.

Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of

five detent positions to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with

the multifunction lever. Wiper delay position 1 is

the least sensitive, and wiper delay position 5 is

the most sensitive. Position 3 should be used for

normal rain conditions. Positions 1 and 2 can be

used if the driver desires less wiper sensitivity.

Positions 4 and 5 can be used if the driver desires

more sensitivity. Place the wiper switch in the

O (off) position when not using the system.
