Subaru Forester: Using HomeLink / Garage Door Two-Way Communication
HomeLink has the capability of communicating
with your garage door opener.
HomeLink can receive and display “closing”
or “opening” status messages from
compatible garage door opener systems.
At any time, HomeLink can also recall and
display the last recorded status communicated
by the garage door opener to
indicate your garage door being “closed”
or “opened”.
HomeLink has the capability of receiving
this communication from the garage door
opener at a range up to 820 feet (250 m).
Range may be reduced by obstacles such
as houses or trees. You may have to slow
your vehicle speed to successfully receive
the garage door opener communication.
Status Indicators

new HomeLink button, both of HomeLink’s
