Subaru Legacy BN/BS (2015-2019) Owners Manual: Auto-dimming mirror with HomeLink (except U.S.-spec. models - if equipped)

1) HomeLink button 1
2) HomeLink button 2
3) LED
4) HomeLink button 3
5) Sensor
6) Automatic dimming on button
7) Automatic dimming off button

The auto-dimming mirror has an anti-glare feature which automatically reduces glare coming from headlights of vehicles behind you. It also contains a HomeLink wireless control system.

By pressing the automatic dimming on/off button, the automatic dimming function is turned on or off. When the automatic dimming function is on, the LED indicator will illuminate.

Even with the mirror in the automatic dimming mode, the mirror surface turns bright if the shift lever/select lever is shifted into the "R" (reverse) position. This is to ensure good rearward visibility during reversing.

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

Photosensors

The mirror has a photosensor attached on both the front and back sides. During nighttime driving, these sensors detect distracting glare from vehicle headlights behind you and automatically dim the mirror to eliminate glare and preserve your vision. For this reason, use care not to cover the sensors with stickers, or other similar items. Periodically wipe the sensors clean using a piece of dry soft cotton cloth or an applicator

HomeLink Wireless Control System

The HomeLink Wireless Control System can be used to activate remote control devices such as gate operators, garage door openers, door locks, home lighting and security systems.

There are three HomeLink buttons on the mirror, each of which can be programmed for operation of one desired device. For details on the device types which can be operated by this system, consult the HomeLink website at: www.homelink.com or call 1-800-355- 3515.

Garage door opener programming in the U.S.A.

NOTE When programming the HomeLink Wireless Control System for a garage door opener, it is suggested that you park the vehicle outside the garage.

1. Unplug the motor of the garage door opener from the outlet.

NOTE If any of the HomeLink buttons are already programmed for other devices, skip step 2 because it clears the memory of all three buttons.

1) HomeLink button 1
2) HomeLink button 2
3) HomeLink button 3

2. Press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons (button 1 and button 3) until the indicator light begins to flash (after approximately 20 seconds). Then release both buttons.
3.  Hold the end of the garage door opener's hand-held transmitter between 1 and 3 inches (25 and 76 mm) away from the HomeLink button you wish to program
4. Simultaneously press and hold both the hand-held transmitter button and the desired HomeLink button. DO NOT release the buttons until step 5 has been completed.

NOTE Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace this programming step 4 with procedures in "Programming for entrance gates and garage door openers in Canada" .

5. Hold down both buttons until the HomeLink indicator light flashes, first slowly then rapidly. When the indicator light flashes rapidly, both buttons may be released. (The rapidly flashing light indicates successful programming of the new frequency signal.)
6.  Press and hold the programmed button and check the HomeLink indicator light. If the indicator light stays on continuously, your garage door should activate and the programming is completed.

   If the indicator light flashes rapidly for 2 seconds and then stays on continuously, your garage door opener may be protected by a rolling code feature. In this case you need to perform the additional steps that are described in "Programming rolling-code-protected garage door openers in the U.S.A." .

Programming rolling-code-protected garage door openers in the U.S.A.

If your garage door opener has a rolling code feature, program the HomeLink Wireless Control System for it by following steps 1 through 5 in "Garage door opener programming in the U.S.A." . Then continue with the following steps.

NOTE The assistance of a second person may make the programming quicker and easier.

1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener motor head unit.

The exact location and color of the button may vary by brand of garage door opener.

If it is difficult to locate the training button, refer to your garage door opener's instruction manual.

NOTE Some garage door openers may require you to do the above press-holdrelease sequence a third time to complete the programming.

4. The garage door opener should now recognize the HomeLink Wireless Control System and your garage door opener should activate when the HomeLink button is pressed.
