TORRANCE, Calif. - - The
updated 2011 Avalon now has a new version of the HomeLink® universal
garage door opener found an many current Toyota models. It allows for
easy programming of the HomeLink® system by taking advantage of the LCD
built into the rearview mirror for the standard backup camera.
Before
the HomeLink® system can operate an owner's garage door it must first
be programmed to work with a particular door opener. Instructions to do
this are provided in the Owner's Manual. Earlier models have required
owners to read the manual and then go through the programming steps.
With
the new version, if an owner pushes a HomeLink® system button without
having programmed the system, helpful step-by-step programming
instructions will appear in the rearview mirror LCD. The instructions
will guide the owner through the programming step quickly and
accurately. Should the owner not wish to program the system at that
time, the instructions will time-out after 15 seconds of inactivity.
The
HomeLink® universal garage door opener is a handy convenience feature
that allows the user to program it to operate up to three garage doors,
or power gates - using the HomeLink® system buttons located in the
vehicle. Owners who use this system will no longer need to carry
remotes for each power door in the vehicle. This also eliminates the
need to replace remote control batteries periodically.
Small enhancements such as the new LCD based instructions make using the many 2011 Avalon features even easier for the owner.
