HomeLink
HomeLink® lets you control other devices remotely, such as the garage door or an alarm system, and can be used instead of the original remote controls for these devices.
You can use the HomeLink app via the center display to remotely control other devices, such as garage doors, gates or an alarm system, from inside your vehicle.
Note
Save the original remotes
You can still use the original device remotes as well as HomeLink if you want to. Make sure that you keep the original remotes, since you need them if you want to reconnect the devices, such as in a new vehicle.
Selling the vehicle
If you sell your vehicle, it's recommended that you delete the connection between the vehicle and the connected devices. You can delete devices in the HomeLink app via the center display. All devices will be deleted if you do a factory reset.
Setting HomeLink up
You set HomeLink up in the center display. Press the app library symbol
in the bottom bar and open HomeLink. Press Begin and follow the instructions in the center display. Make sure to have the original remote control for your device on hand because you will need it during the setup.
Using HomeLink
When you have connected a device to the vehicle, you can use the center display instead of the device's original remote. Press the app library symbol
in the top bar and open HomeLink. Then simply press the connected device to activate it and wait a few seconds for it to respond.
You can find more information about a connected device by selecting it via the center display. You can also change the device's name and icon, reprogram the device or delete it.
Warning
If HomeLink is used to control a garage door or gate, make sure that nobody is near the door or gate while it is in motion.
Do not use HomeLink for any garage door that does not have safety stop and safety reverse.
Note
After reprogramming a device
If you start to reprogram a device, it will be deleted from the list even if HomeLink can't create a new connection.
Using HomeLink while the vehicle is locked
It is not possible to use HomeLink if the vehicle is locked from the outside and the alarm is active.
HomeLink only works for a few minutes after all occupants have left the vehicle and the vehicle is left unlocked. To use HomeLink again, you need to have the key inside the vehicle.Tip
