home automation devices. These instructions refer to a garage door opener, but can be used for other devices. Do not use the Universal Remote system with any garage door opener that does not have the stop and reverse feature. This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982. Read these instructions completely before programming the Universal Remote system. It may help to have another person assist with the programming process. Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future programming. Erase the programming when vehicle ownership is terminated. See “Erasing Universal Remote System Buttons” later in this section.


To program a garage door opener, park outside directly in line with and facing the garage door opener receiver. Clear all people and objects near the garage door. Make sure the hand-held transmitter has a new battery for quick and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. Programming the Universal Remote System For questions or help programming the Universal Remote system, call 1-800-355-3515 or see www.homelink.com. Programming involves time-sensitive actions, and may time out causing the procedure to be repeated. To program up to three devices: 1. Hold the end of the hand-held


transmitter about 3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) away from the Universal Remote system buttons with the indicator light in view. The


hand-held transmitter was supplied by the manufacturer of the garage door opener receiver.


2. At the same time, press and


hold both the hand-held transmitter button and one of the three Universal Remote system buttons to be used to operate the garage door. Do not release either button until the indicator light changes from a slow to a rapid flash. Then release both buttons. Some garage door openers may require substitution of Step 2
with the procedure under in “Radio Signals for Canada and Some Gate Operators” later in this section.


3. Press and hold the newly


programmed Universal Remote system button for five seconds while watching the indicator light and garage door activation.


If the indicator light stays on continuously or the garage door moves when the

button is pressed, then programming is complete. There is no need to complete Steps 4–6. If the indicator light does not come on or the garage door does not move, a second button press may be required. For a second time, press and hold the newly programmed button for five seconds. If the light stays on or the garage door moves, programming is complete. If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two seconds, then changes to a solid light and the garage door does not move, continue with programming Steps 4–6.


does not flash, press and hold the same button a second time for two seconds, then release it. Again, if the door does not move or the garage door lamp does not flash, press and hold the same button a third time for two seconds, then release it.


The Universal Remote system should now activate the garage door. Repeat the process for programming the two remaining buttons. Radio Signals for Canada and Some Gate Operators For questions or programming help call 1-800-355-3515 or see www.homelink.com. Canadian radio-frequency laws and some U.S. gate operators require transmitter signals to time out or quit after several seconds of transmission. This may not be long

enough for the Universal Remote system to pick up the signal during programming. If the programming did not work, replace Step 2 under “Programming the Universal Remote System” with the following: Press and hold the Universal Remote system button while pressing and releasing the hand-held transmitter button every two seconds until the signal has been successfully accepted by the Universal Remote system. The Universal Remote system indicator light will flash slowly at first and then rapidly. Proceed with Step 3 under “Programming the Universal Remote System” to complete.


Universal Remote System Operation


Using the Universal Remote System Press and hold the appropriate Universal Remote system button for at least one-half second. The indicator light will come on while the signal is being transmitted. Erasing Universal Remote System Buttons Erase all programmed buttons when vehicle ownership is terminated. To erase: 1. Press and hold the two outside buttons until the indicator light begins to flash. This should take about 10 seconds.


2. Release both buttons.


Reprogramming a Single Universal Remote System Button To reprogram any of the system buttons: 1. Press and hold any one of the


buttons. Do not release the button.


2. The indicator light will begin to flash after 20 seconds. Without releasing the button, proceed with Step 1 under “Programming the Universal Remote System.”

; (Parking Lamps): Turns on the parking lamps including all lamps, except the headlamps. 2 (Headlamps): Turns on the headlamps together with the parking lamps and instrument panel lights. IntelliBeam® System If equipped, this system turns the vehicle's high-beam headlamps on and off according to surrounding traffic conditions. The system turns the high-beam headlamps on when it is dark enough and there is no other traffic present.


This light comes on in the instrument cluster when the IntelliBeam system is enabled.


Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam To enable the IntelliBeam system, with the turn signal lever in the neutral position, turn the exterior lamp control to AUTO. The blue high-beam on light appears on the instrument cluster when the high beams are on.


Driving with IntelliBeam The system only activates the high beams when driving over 40 km/h (25 mph). There is a sensor near the top center of the windshield, which automatically controls the system. Keep this area of the windshield clear of debris to allow for best system performance. The high-beam headlamps remain on, under the automatic control, until one of the following situations occurs:


The system detects an approaching vehicle's headlamps.


The system detects a preceding vehicle's taillamps. The outside light is bright enough that high-beam headlamps are not required. The vehicle's speed drops below 20 km/h (12 mph). The turn signal lever is moved forward to the high-beam position or the Flash-to-Pass feature is used. See Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 6-3 and Flash-to-Pass on page 6-3. The IntelliBeam system can be disabled by the High/Low-Beam Changer or the Flash-to-Pass feature. If this happens, the High/Low-Beam Changer must be activated two times within two seconds to reactivate the IntelliBeam system. The instrument cluster light will come on to indicate the IntelliBeam is reactivated.

The high beams may not turn off automatically if the system cannot detect other vehicle's lamps because of any of the following:


The other vehicle's lamp(s) are missing, damaged, obstructed from view, or otherwise undetected. The other vehicle's lamp(s) are covered with dirt, snow, and/or road spray. The other vehicle's lamp(s) cannot be detected due to dense exhaust, smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist, or other airborne obstructions.


. Your vehicle's windshield is dirty,


cracked, or obstructed by something that blocks the view of the light sensor.


. Your vehicle's windshield is covered with ice, dirt, haze, or other obstructions.


. Your vehicle is loaded such that


the front end points upward, causing the light sensor to aim high and not detect headlamps and taillamps.


. You are driving on winding or


hilly roads.


You may need to manually disable or cancel the high-beam headlamps by turning the low-beam headlamps on, if any of the above conditions exist. This feature can be turned on or off. See Vehicle Personalization on page 5-47.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) DRL can make it easier for others to see the front of your vehicle during the day. Fully functional DRL are required on all vehicles first sold in Canada. The dedicated DRL will come on when all of the following conditions are met:


The ignition is on.


The exterior lamp control is in AUTO. The light sensor determines it is daytime. The parking brake is released or the vehicle is not in P (Park). The taillamps, instrument panel lights, and other lamps will not be on. The DRL turn off when the headlamps are turned to O or the ignition is off.


Automatic Headlamp System When the exterior lamp control is set to AUTO and it is dark enough outside, the headlamps come on automatically.


If equipped, the light sensor is on top of the instrument panel or on the windshield near the rearview mirror. Do not cover the sensor, otherwise the headlamps will come on when they are not needed. The system may also turn on the headlamps when driving through a parking garage or tunnel. When it is bright enough outside, the headlamps will turn off or may change to Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).
