If the ignition is switched off, HomeLink

will function for 30 minutes after the driv-

er's door has been opened.

HomeLink

Wireless Control System*

– programming

The HomeLink Wireless Control System pro-

vides a convenient way to replace up to three

hand-held radio-frequency (RF) transmitters

used to activate devices such as gate opera-

tors, garage door openers, entry door locks,

security systems, even home lighting. Addi-

tional information can be found on the Inter-

HomeLinkGentex or by phoning the hotline at

1–800–355–3515.

Some vehicles may require the ignition to

be switched on or be in the “accessories”

position for programming and/or operation

of HomeLink. It is also recommended that

a new battery be placed in the hand-held

transmitter of the device being pro-

grammed to HomeLink for quicker training

and accurate transmission of the radio-fre-

quency signal. The HomeLink buttons

must be reset first. When this has been

completed, Homelink is in learning mode

so that you can perform programming.

1. Position the end of your hand-held trans-

mitter 1–3 inches (5–14 cm) away from

the HomeLink button you wish to pro-

gram while keeping the indicator light in

view.

2. Simultaneously press and hold both the

chosen HomeLink and hand-held trans-

mitter buttons until the HomeLink indica-

tor light changes from a slow to a rapidly

blinking light. Now you may release both

the HomeLink and hand-held transmitter

buttons.

contact HomeLink at www.homelink.com/

Some devices may require you to replace

this Programming Step 2 with procedures

noted in the “Gate Operator / Canadian

Programming” section. If the HomeLink

indicator light does not change to a rapidly

blinking light after performing these steps,

phoning the hotline at 1–800–355–3515.

3. Firmly press, hold for five seconds and

release the programmed HomeLink but-

ton up to two separate times to activate

the door. If the door does not activate,

press and hold the just-trained HomeLink

button and observe the indicator light.

•

If the indicator light stays on con-

stantly, programming is complete

and your device should activate when

the HomeLink button is pressed and

released.

•

If the indicator light blinks rapidly for

two seconds and then turns to a

constant light continue with “Pro-

gramming” steps 4-6 to complete the

programming of a rolling code equip-

ped device (most commonly a garage

door opener).

4. At the garage door opener receiver

(motor-head unit) in the garage, locate

the “learn” or “smart” button. This can

usually be found where the hanging

antenna wire is attached to the motor-

head unit.

5. Firmly press and release the “learn” or

“smart” button. (The name and color of

the button may vary by manufacturer.)

There are 30 seconds to initiate step 6.

6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press,

hold for two seconds and release the pro-

grammed HomeLink button. Repeat the

“press/hold/release” sequence a second

time, and, depending on the brand of the

garage door opener (or other rolling code

equipped device), repeat this sequence a

third time to complete the programming

process.

HomeLink should now activate your rolling

code equipped device.

Gate Operator/Canadian Programming

Canadian radio-frequency laws require trans-

mitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after sev-

eral 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.
If you live in Canada or you are having diffi-

culties programming a gate operator or

garage door opener by using the “Program-

ming” procedures, replace “Programming

HomeLink” step 2 with the following:

•

Continue to press and hold the HomeLink

button while you press and release -

every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-

held transmitter until the HomeLink indi-

cator light changes from a slow to a rap-

idly blinking light. Now you may release

both the HomeLink and hand-held trans-

mitter buttons.

Proceed with “Programming” step 3 to com-

plete.

Resetting HomeLink Buttons
Use the following procedure to reset (erase

programming) from the three HomeLink but-

tons (individual buttons cannot be reset but

can be “reprogrammed” as outlined in the fol-

lowing section):
1. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink

buttons until the indicator light begins to

flash.

03 Instruments and controls

2. Release both buttons.

> HomeLink is now in the training (or

learning) mode and can be pro-

grammed at any time beginning with

“Programming” - step 1.

Reprogramming a Single HomeLink
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 the button.

2. The indicator light will begin to flash after

20 seconds. Without releasing the Home-

Link button, proceed with “Programming”

- step 1.

Trip computer – Supplementary

information

General information for both Analog and Digi-

tal trip computer functions.

Average fuel consumption
Fuel consumption since the last time this

function was reset.

Average speed
The vehicle's average speed since the last

time this function was reset.

Current fuel consumption
Current fuel consumption is calculated

approximately once a second. When the vehi-

cle is moving at low speed, fuel consumption

is displayed per unit of time. At higher

speeds, it is displayed in terms of distance.
Miles or kilometers can be displayed, see the

heading "Changing units".

Distance to empty
This function shows the approximate dis-

tance that can be driven on the fuel remaining

in the tank. When

Distance to empty

shows

"----", there is very little useable fuel remain-

ing in that tank; refuel as soon as possible.

The calculation is based on average fuel con-

sumption during the last 20 miles (30 km) of

driving and the amount of fuel remaining in

the tank (the accuracy of this figure may vary

if your driving style changes). An economical

driving style will generally increase this dis-

tance.
See Economical driving (p. 279) for informa-

tion about driving economically.

Digital speed display*
Speed is expressed in the unit not used by

the instrument panel's speedometer e.g., if

the normal speedometer is in mph, the trip

computer will display in the speed in km/h

and vice versa.

Air conditioning

Climate – sensors (p. 124)

•

The air conditioning can be switched

off, but to ensure the best possible cli-

mate comfort in the passenger com-

partment and to prevent the windows

from misting, it should always be on.

•

In warm weather, a small amount of

water may accumulate under the car

when it has been parked. This water is

condensation from the A/C system

and is normal.

Side windows and moonroof
To ensure that the air conditioning works

optimally, the side windows, and the optional

moonroof should be closed.

Fog on the inside of the windows
The defroster function (p. 132) should be

used to remove fog or mist from the inside of

the windows. Keeping the windows clean

with a commercially available window wash-

ing spray will also help prevent fogging or

misting.

Temporary shut-off of the air
conditioning
The air conditioning (p. 131) is momentarily

disengaged during full acceleration or when

driving uphill with a trailer. This may result in

a temporary increase in cabin temperature.

Ice and snow
Always keep the air intake grille at the base of

the windshield free of snow.

Climate system maintenance
Special tools and equipment are required to

maintain and carry out repairs on the climate

system. Work of this type should only be

done by a trained and qualified Volvo service

technician.

Refrigerant
Volvo cares about the environment. The air

conditioning system in your car contains a

CFC-free refrigerant – R134a. This substance

will not deplete the ozone layer. The air con-

ditioning system contains 1.76 lbs (800 g) of

R134a. The systems uses PAG oil.

humidity level in the passenger compartment.

Sensor location

•

The sunlight sensor is located on the top

side of the dashboard.

The sunlight sensor monitors which side of

the car that is most exposed to sunlight.

This can mean that the temperature may

differ between the right and left-side air

vents, even if the temperatures set for both

sides of the passenger compartment are

the same.

•

The temperature sensor for the passen-

ger compartment is located below the cli-

mate control panel.
