Subaru Forester: Mirrors / Gate Operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require
transmitter remote 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.
The indicator LED on the hand-held
remote will go off when the device times
out, indicating that it has finished transmitting.
If you live in Canada or you are having
difficulties programming a gate operator or
garage door opener by using the programming
procedures, replace “Programming a
New HomeLink Button” step 3 with the
following:
While the HomeLink indicator light is
flashing orange, press and release (“cycle”)
your device’s hand-held remote every
two seconds until the HomeLink indicator
light changes from orange to green. You
may now release the hand-held remote
button.
NOTE
If programming a garage door opener
or gate operator, it is advised to unplug
the device during the “cycling” process
to prevent possible overheating.
Proceed with “Programming a New
HomeLink Button” step 4 to complete.
To operate, simply press and release the
programmed HomeLink button. Activation
will now occur for the trained device (i.e.
garage door opener, gate operator, security
system, entry door lock, home/office
lighting, etc...
Other information:
The ECO gauge shows the difference
between the current rate of fuel consumption
and the average rate of fuel consumption
since the trip meter was last reset.
If the ECO gauge moves towards the +
side, this indicates better fuel efficiency.
NOTE
The ECO gauge shows only an
approximate indication of fuel efficiency...
