Immobilizer See Radio Frequency Statement on page 8‑18 for information regarding Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules and RSS-210/211 of Industry and Science Canada. Immobilizer Operation The vehicle has a passive theft-deterrent system. The system is automatically armed when the ignition is turned off. The immobilization system is disarmed when the ignition is turned to OFF/ACCESSORY or START and a valid transmitter is found in the vehicle. You do not have to manually arm or disarm the system. The security light comes on if there is a problem with arming or disarming the theft-deterrent system. The system has one or more keyless access transmitters that are matched to an immobilizer control unit in the vehicle. Only a correctly matched keyless access transmitter starts the vehicle. The vehicle may not start if the keyless access transmitter is damaged. If the engine does not start and the security light comes on, there may be a problem with the immobilizer system. Press the START button again.


If the vehicle does not start and the keyless access transmitter appears to be undamaged, try another keyless access transmitter. Or, place the transmitter in the transmitter pocket. See “NO FOBS DETECTED” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑76 for additional information. Check the fuse. See Fuses and Circuit Breakers on page 6‑117. If the engine still does not start with the other transmitter, the vehicle needs service. If the engine does start, the first transmitter may be faulty. See your dealer/retailer or have a new keyless access transmitter programmed to the vehicle. The immobilizer system can learn new or replacement keyless access transmitters. Up to four keyless access transmitters can be programmed for the vehicle. To program additional transmitters, see “Matching transmitter(s) to Your Vehicle” under Keyless Access System Operation on page 3‑5. Do not leave the key or device that disarms or deactivates the theft deterrent system in the vehicle.


Starting and Operating Your Vehicle


New Vehicle Break-In Notice: The vehicle does not need an elaborate break-in. But it will perform better in the long run if you follow these guidelines:


. Do not drive at any one constant speed,


fast or slow, for the first 500 miles (805 km). Do not make full-throttle starts. Avoid downshifting to brake or slow the vehicle.


. Avoid making hard stops for the first


200 miles (322 km) or so. During this time the new brake linings are not yet broken in. Hard stops with new linings can mean premature wear and earlier replacement. Follow this breaking-in guideline every time you get new brake linings.


. Do not tow a trailer during break-in. See


Towing a Trailer on page 5‑31 for the trailer towing capabilities of your vehicle and more information.


Following break‐in, engine speed and load can be gradually increased.

Ignition Positions


The vehicle has an electronic keyless ignition with pushbutton start.


To shift out of P (Park), the vehicle must be running or in ACCESSORY mode and the regular brake pedal must be applied. / (START) : Press to start the engine with your foot on the brake pedal. The shifter must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) and the keyless access transmitter must be in the vehicle. If the start button does not work, the vehicle may be near a strong radio antenna signal causing interference to the keyless access system. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑76 for more information.


3-26


9/Acc. (OFF/ACCESSORY) : Press to turn the engine off in any gear. If the shifter is in P (Park), RAP will engage if all doors are closed. RAP will turn off when a front door is opened. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) on page 3‑26 for more information. If the engine is off, press this button to turn on the accessory mode. ACCESSORY ACTIVE will display on the Driver Information Center (DIC). Accessory mode allows use of the audio system and windshield wipers. Accessory mode must be used if the vehicle must be towed or in motion when the engine is not running. After the vehicle has been in accessory mode for more than 20 minutes, the vehicle will enter RAP or turn off, depending on if the doors are opened or closed. Retained Accessory Power (RAP) These vehicle accessories can be used for up to 20 minutes after the engine is turned off:


. Audio System . Audio Steering Wheel Controls . Power Windows


Power to these accessories will work up to 20 minutes or until one of the front doors is opened. For an additional 20 minutes of operation, close all the doors and press Acc. to place the vehicle in accessory mode. Press the button again to return to RAP.


Starting the Engine To place the transmission in the proper gear: Move the shift lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral). To restart the engine when the vehicle is already moving, use N (Neutral). Notice: Do not try to shift to P (Park) if the vehicle is moving. If you do, you could damage the transmission. Shift to P (Park) only when the vehicle is stopped. The keyless access transmitter must be inside the vehicle for the ignition to work. Cell phone chargers can interfere with the operation of the Keyless Access System. Battery chargers should not be plugged in when starting or turning off the engine. To start the vehicle, do the following: Starting Procedure


1. With your foot on the brake pedal, press the


START button located on the instrument panel. If there is not a keyless access transmitter in the vehicle or if there is something causing interference with it, the DIC will display NO FOBS DETECTED. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑76 for more information.


2. When the engine begins cranking, let go of the button and the engine cranks automatically until it starts. If the battery in the keyless access transmitter is weak, the DIC displays KEY FOB BATTERY LOW. You can still drive the vehicle. See “Battery Replacement” under Keyless Access System Operation on page 3‑5 for more information. If the fob battery is dead, you need to insert the fob into the fob slot to enable engine starting. See “No Fobs Detected” under DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑76.


3. Do not race the engine immediately after starting it.


4.


Operate the engine and transmission gently until the oil warms up and lubricates all moving parts. If the engine does not start and no DIC message is displayed, wait 15 seconds before trying again to let the cranking motor cool down. If the engine does not start after 5-10 seconds, especially in very cold weather (below 0°F or −18°C), it could be flooded with too much gasoline. Try pushing the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor while cranking for up to 15 seconds maximum.


3-27


Notice: Cranking the engine for long periods of time, by pressing the START button immediately after cranking has ended, can overheat and damage the cranking motor, and drain the battery. Wait at least 15 seconds between each try, to allow the cranking motor to cool down. When the engine starts, let go of the accelerator. If the vehicle starts briefly but then stops again, do the same thing. This clears the extra gasoline from the engine. The vehicle has a Computer-Controlled Cranking System. This feature assists in starting the engine and protects components. Once cranking has been initiated, the engine continues cranking for a few seconds or until the vehicle starts. If the engine does not start, cranking automatically stops after 15 seconds to prevent cranking motor damage. To prevent gear damage, this system also prevents cranking if the engine is already running.


Notice: The engine is designed to work with the electronics in the vehicle. If you add electrical parts or accessories, you could change the way the engine operates. Before adding electrical equipment, check with your dealer/retailer. If you do not, the engine might not perform properly. Any resulting damage would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Stopping the Engine Move the shift lever to P (Park) and press the Acc. button located on the instrument panel. If the shifter is not in P (Park), the engine shuts off and the vehicle goes into the Accessory Mode. The DIC displays SHIFT TO PARK. Once the shifter is moved to P (Park), the vehicle turns off. The DIC displays NO FOB, OFF OR RUN?, if the keyless access transmitter is not detected inside the vehicle when it is turned off. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑76 for more information.


3-28


Engine Coolant Heater The engine coolant heater can provide easier starting and better fuel economy during engine warm‐up in cold weather conditions at or below −18°C (0°F). Vehicles with an engine coolant heater should be plugged in at least four hours before starting. Some models have an internal thermostat in the cord which will prevent engine coolant heater operation at temperatures above −18°C (0°F). To Use the Engine Coolant Heater 1. Turn off the engine. 2. Open the hood and unwrap the electrical cord.


For the 3.6L V6 engine, the cord is located in the front of the engine compartment, on the passenger side of the vehicle. For the 4.6L V8 engine, the cord is located in the engine compartment on the driver side of the vehicle near the inner fender and above the strut.


3. You must remove the plastic cap to access


the plug.


4. Plug it into a normal, grounded 110-volt AC outlet.


{ WARNING:


Plugging the cord into an ungrounded outlet could cause an electrical shock. Also, the wrong kind of extension cord could overheat and cause a fire. You could be seriously injured. Plug the cord into a properly grounded three-prong 110-volt AC outlet. If the cord will not reach, use a heavy-duty three-prong extension cord rated for at least 15 amps.


5. Before starting the engine, be sure to unplug and


store the cord as it was before to keep it away from moving engine parts. If you do not, it could be damaged.


The length of time the heater should remain plugged in depends on several factors. Ask a dealer/retailer in the area where you will be parking the vehicle for the best advice on this.

Automatic Transmission Operation


There are several different positions for the shift lever.


P (Park) : This position locks the rear wheels. It is the best position to use when you start the engine because the vehicle cannot move easily.


3-30


{ WARNING:


It is dangerous to get out of the vehicle if the shift lever is not fully in P (Park) with the parking brake firmly set. The vehicle can roll. Do not leave the vehicle when the engine is running unless you have to. If you have left the engine running, the vehicle can move suddenly. You or others could be injured. To be sure the vehicle will not move, even when you are on fairly level ground, always set the parking brake and move the shift lever to P (Park). See Shifting Into Park on page 3‑34 . If you are pulling a trailer, see Towing a Trailer on page 5‑31.


Make sure the shift lever is fully in P (Park) before starting the engine. The vehicle has an automatic transmission shift lock control system. You must fully apply your regular brakes first and then press the shift lever button before you can shift from P (Park) when the vehicle is running. If you cannot shift out of P (Park), ease pressure on the shift lever and push the shift lever all the way into P (Park) as you maintain brake application. Then press the shift lever button and move the shift lever into another gear. See Shifting Out of Park on page 3‑35.


Notice: Shifting to R (Reverse) while the vehicle is moving forward could damage the transmission. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Shift to R (Reverse) only after the vehicle is stopped. R (Reverse) : Use this gear to back up. At low vehicle speeds, you can also use R (Reverse) to rock your vehicle back and forth to get out of snow, ice, or sand without damaging the transmission. See If Your Vehicle is Stuck in Sand, Mud, Ice, or Snow on page 5‑22 for additional information. N (Neutral) : connect with the wheels. To restart the engine when the vehicle is already moving, use N (Neutral) only. You can also use N (Neutral) when the vehicle is being towed.


In this position, the engine does not


{ WARNING:


Notice: Shifting out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) with the engine running at high speed may damage the transmission. The repairs would not be covered by the vehicle warranty. Be sure the engine is not running at high speed when shifting the vehicle. D (Drive) : This position is for normal driving. It provides the best fuel economy. If you need more power for passing, and you are:


. Going less than 35 mph (55 km/h), push the


accelerator pedal about halfway down.


. Going about 35 mph (55 km/h) or more, push the


accelerator all the way down. The transmission will shift down to a lower gear and have more power.


Downshifting the transmission in slippery road conditions could result in skidding, see “Skidding” under Loss of Control on page 5‑14.


Shifting into a drive gear while the engine is running at high speed is dangerous. Unless your foot is firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could move very rapidly. You could lose control and hit people or objects. Do not shift into a drive gear while the engine is running at high speed.


3-31


Driver Shift Control (DSC) Notice: If you drive the vehicle at high RPMs without upshifting while using Driver Shift Control (DSC), you could damage the vehicle. Always upshift when necessary while using DSC. Driver Shift Control (DSC) allows you shift an automatic transmission similar to a manual transmission. To use the DSC feature:


1. Move the shift lever to the right from D (Drive) into


the DSC area.


When in DSC mode, the sport symbol will appear in the Driver Information Center (DIC).


The vehicle will remain in sport mode if the shift lever is not moved. Sport mode will shift automatically but remain in a gear longer then it would in normal driving mode based on braking and acceleration.


3-32


2. Press the shift lever forward to upshift or rearward


to downshift.


When using the DSC mode, the number displayed on the Driver Information Center (DIC) indicates the gear that the transmission is in. See Driver Information Center (DIC) on page 4‑69 for more information on the DIC.


When starting the vehicle from a stopped condition, only 1 (First) and 2 (Second) gear may be used. While using the DSC feature the vehicle will have firmer shifting and increased performance. You can use this for sport driving or when climbing/descending hills to stay in gear longer or to down shift for more power or engine braking. The transmission will only allow you to shift into gears appropriate for the vehicle speed and engine Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). The transmission will not automatically shift to the next higher gear if the engine RPM is too high.


If shifting is prevented for any reason, the selected gear will flash multiple times, indicating that the transmission has not shifted gears. The transmission will allow you to shift to the gear selected and will automatically downshift when the vehicle comes to a stop. This will allow for more power during take-off and passing. Parking Brake


The parking brake pedal is located on the lower portion of the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel.


If the ignition is on, the brake system warning light on the instrument panel cluster should come on. If it does not, you need to have the vehicle serviced. See Brake System Warning Light on page 4‑58 for more information. To release the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down, then push the parking brake pedal. When you release the park brake pedal, the parking brake releases. Notice: Driving with the parking brake on can overheat the brake system and cause premature wear or damage to brake system parts. Make sure that the parking brake is fully released and the brake warning light is off before driving. A warning chime will sound if the parking brake is set, the ignition is on and the vehicle begins to move. To stop the chime, fully release the parking brake. If you are towing a trailer and parking on a hill, see Towing a Trailer on page 5‑31 for more information.


The vehicle has a push-to-release parking brake pedal. To set the parking brake, hold the brake pedal down, then push the parking brake pedal down.

{ WARNING:


Things that can burn could touch hot exhaust parts under the vehicle and ignite. Do not park over papers, leaves, dry grass, or other things that can burn.


Torque Lock Torque lock is when the weight of the vehicle puts too much force on the parking pawl in the transmission. This happens when parking on a hill and shifting the transmission into P (Park) is not done properly and then it is difficult to shift out of P (Park). To prevent torque lock, set the parking brake and then shift into P (Park). To find out how, see “Shifting Into P (Park)” listed previously. If torque lock does occur, your vehicle may need to be pushed uphill by another vehicle to relieve the parking pawl pressure, so you can shift out of P (Park). Shifting Out of Park Shift lock release prevents shifting out of P (Park) unless the vehicle is running or in Accessory mode and the brake pedal is applied. The shift lock release is always functional except in the case of an uncharged or low voltage (less than 9‐volt) battery. See Jump Starting on page 6‑40 for more information. To shift out of P (Park) use the following:


1. Apply the brake pedal. 2. Press the shift lever button. 3. Move the shift lever to the desired position.

Mirrors


Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror The vehicle may have an inside rearview mirror with automatic dimming and OnStar® controls; or it may have OnStar® and a compass display. See the OnStar® owner guide and/or Compass on page 3‑38 for more information. O (On/Off): Press to turn the dimming feature on or off. Automatic Dimming Mirror Operation Automatic dimming reduces the glare of lights from behind the vehicle. The dimming feature comes on and the indicator light illuminates each time the vehicle is started. Cleaning the Mirror Do not spray glass cleaner directly on the mirror. Use a soft towel dampened with water.


3-37


Compass Compass Operation Press O to turn the compass on or off. When the ignition and the compass feature are on, the mirror displays the compass heading after a few seconds. Compass Calibration If after few seconds, the display does not show a compass heading (for example, N for North), there may be a strong magnetic field interfering with the compass. Interference can be caused by a magnetic antenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or a similar magnetic item. If the letter C should ever appear in the compass window, the compass may need calibration. The mirror can be calibrated by driving the vehicle in circles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the display reads a direction. The compass can be placed in calibration mode manually by pressing and holding O until a C is shown in the compass display.


3-38


Compass Variance The mirror is set to zone eight. If you do not live in zone eight or drive out of the area, the compass variance needs to be changed to the appropriate zone. To adjust for compass variance:


1. Find the current location and variance zone


number on the following zone map.


2. Press and hold O until a zone number displays.


3. Once the zone number displays, press O


repeatedly until the correct zone number displays. Stop pressing the button and the mirror returns to normal operation. If C appears in the compass window, the compass may need calibration. See “Compass Calibration” listed previously.


Outside Power Mirrors


Controls for the outside power mirrors are located on the driver door.


To adjust the mirrors:


1. Move the selector switch left or right to choose the


driver side or passenger side mirror.


2. Press one of the four arrows located on the control


pad to move the mirror to the desired direction.


3. Adjust each outside mirror so that a little of the

This feature is controlled by the on and off settings on the automatic dimming inside rearview mirror. See Automatic Dimming Rearview Mirror on page 3‑37 for more information.


3-39


Park Tilt Mirrors This feature assists the driver by improving rear obstacle detection and is useful in viewing the curb when parallel parking. The passenger and/or driver mirror tilts to a preselected position when the vehicle is in R (Reverse). This feature lets the driver view the curb when parallel parking. If further adjustment is needed after the mirror is tilted, the mirror switch may be used. The mirror then returns to this new position when the vehicle is shifted into R (Reverse). When the vehicle is shifted out of R (Reverse), and a five-second delay has occurred, the mirror will return to its original position. The delay prevents movement of the mirror if multiple gear transitions R (Reverse) to D (Drive) to R (Reverse) occur during a parallel parking maneuver. If the outside mirror selector switch is in the middle position, neither outside mirror will move. Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) If the vehicle has the Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) system, see Side Blind Zone Alert (SBZA) on page 3‑44 for more information.


Outside Convex Mirror


{ WARNING:


A convex mirror can make things, like other vehicles, look farther away than they really are. If you cut too sharply into the right lane, you could hit a vehicle on the right. Check the inside mirror or glance over your shoulder before changing lanes.


The passenger side mirror is convex shaped. A convex mirror's surface is curved so more can be seen from the driver seat.

Object Detection Systems


Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) For vehicles with the URPA system, it operates at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h), and assists the driver with parking and avoiding objects while in R (Reverse). The sensors on the rear bumper are used to detect the distance to an object up to 5 feet (1.5 m) behind the vehicle and at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) off the ground.


{ WARNING:


The Ultrasonic Rear Parking Assist (URPA) system does not replace driver vision. It cannot detect: . Objects that are below the bumper,


underneath the vehicle, or if they are too close or far from the vehicle


. Children, pedestrians, bicyclists, or pets.


(Continued)


WARNING: (Continued)


If you do not use proper care before and while backing; vehicle damage, injury, or death could occur. Even with URPA, always check behind the vehicle before backing up. While backing, be sure to look for objects and check the vehicle's mirrors.


The display is located in the dome lamp and can be seen by looking over your right shoulder.


URPA uses three color-coded lights to provide distance and system information.


3-41


How the System Works URPA comes on automatically when the shift lever is moved into R (Reverse). The rear display briefly illuminates to indicate the system is working. URPA operates only at speeds less than 3 mph (5 km/h). If the vehicle is above this speed, the red light on the rear display will flash. To be detected, objects must be at least 10 inches (25.4 cm) off the ground and below trunk level. Objects must also be within 5 feet (1.5 m) from the rear bumper. This distance may be less during warmer or humid weather. A single beep will sound the first time an object is detected between 20 inches (0.5 m) and 5 feet (1.5 m) away. Beeping will occur when the vehicle is closer than 20 inches (0.5 m) from the object.

{ WARNING:


SBZA is only a lane changing aid and does not replace driver vision. SBZA does not detect: . Vehicles outside the side blind zones which


may be rapidly approaching.


. Pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals. Failure to use proper care when changing lanes may result in damage to the vehicle, injury, or death. Always check the outside and rearview mirrors, glance over your shoulder, and use the turn signal before changing lanes.


The SBZA system is an aid that may help you avoid lane change crashes with vehicles in the side blind spots (zones). When the system detects a vehicle in the side blind zone, amber SBZA displays will light up in the side mirrors. This indicates that it may be unsafe to


3-44


SBZA Detection Zones The SBZA sensor covers a zone of approximately one lane over from both sides of the vehicle, 3.5 m (11 ft). This zone starts at each side mirror and goes back approximately 5.0 m (16 ft). The height of the zone is approximately between 0.5 m (1.5 ft) and 2.0 m (6 ft) off the ground.


The SBZA detection zones do not change if the vehicle is towing a trailer. So be extra careful when changing lanes while towing a trailer. How the System Works


Left Side Mirror Display Right Side Mirror Display


When the vehicle is started, both outside mirror displays will briefly come on to indicate that the system is operating. When the vehicle is moving forward, the left or right side mirror SBZA display will light up if a vehicle is detected in that blind zone. When the turn signal is used and a vehicle has been detected on the same side, the SBZA display will flash to give you extra warning not to change lanes. SBZA displays do not come on while the vehicle is approaching or passing other vehicles.


I (SBZA): To turn SBZA on or off, press the CONFIG hard key located on the navigation radio, then press I . See “Configure Menu” in the index of the Navigation System manual.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) If the vehicle has the LDW system. Read this entire section before using the system.


{ WARNING:


The Lane Departure Warning (LDW) system does not steer the vehicle and is only an aid to help you stay in your driving lane. The LDW system may not: . Provide you with enough time to avoid a lane


change collision.


. Be loud enough for you to hear the warning


beeps.


. Work properly under bad weather conditions


or if the windshield is not kept clean.


. Detect lane markings and will not detect road


edges.


. Warn you that your vehicle is crossing a lane


marking if the system does not detect the lane marking.


(Continued)


WARNING: (Continued)


LDW will indicate the system is working whenever it detects either the left or right lane marking. So if you depart on the side of the lane that LDW is not detecting, LDW will not warn you. If you do not carefully maintain your vehicle position within the lane, vehicle damage, injury, or death could occur. Even with LDW, always keep your attention on the road and maintain proper vehicle position within the lane. Always keep the windshield clean and do not use LDW in bad weather conditions.


When the vehicle crosses a detected lane marking, the LDW symbol will flash and you will hear three beeps. LDW will not warn you if the turn signal is on or if the vehicle makes a sharp maneuver. Before making a lane change, check the vehicle's mirrors, glance over your shoulder for vehicles and hazards, and turn on the turn signal before changing lanes.


3-47


How the System Works LDW uses a camera located between the inside rearview mirror and the windshield to detect the lane markings. @ (Lane Departure Warning): To turn LDW on or off, press the CONFIG hard key located on the navigation radio, then press @ . See “Configure Menu” in the index of the Navigation System manual. The symbol will be highlighted when the feature is active.


When the vehicle is started, the LDW symbol that is located in the instrument panel cluster will briefly come on to indicate that the light is operational.


3-48


LDW only operates at speeds of 35 mph (56 km) or greater. If LDW is turned on when traveling at these speeds, the LDW symbol will appear green if the system detects a left or right lane marking. This symbol will change to amber and flash and three beeps will sound if you cross a detected lane marking without using the turn signal. LDW is not currently operating and will not warn you if the LDW symbol does not appear. When the System Does Not Seem To Work Properly The LDW symbol will not appear when the system is having difficulty seeing the lines on the road or if the view of the camera on the windshield is blocked with mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush, if the windshield is damaged, or when weather limits visibility, such as while driving in fog, rain, or snow conditions. This is normal operation, the vehicle does not need service. For cleaning instructions, see Washing Your Vehicle on page 6‑111. LDW warnings may occasionally occur due to tar marks, shadows, cracks in the road, or other road imperfections. This is normal system operation, the vehicle does not need service.


LDW Error Message SERVICE LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM : This message may appear in the DIC to indicate that LDW is not working properly. If this message remains on after continued driving, the system needs service. Take the vehicle to your dealer/retailer. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑76 for more information. LANE DEPARTURE SYSTEM UNAVAILABLE : This message may appear in the DIC if LDW does not activate due to a temporary condition. See DIC Warnings and Messages on page 4‑76 for more information.

Universal Home Remote System Operation (With Three Round LED)


The vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote System. If there are three round Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lights above the Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the instructions below. This system provides a way to replace up to three remote control transmitters used to activate devices such as garage door openers, security systems, and home automation devices. Do not use this 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.


3-49


Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the transmitter. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you in programming the transmitter. Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as, for future programming. Only the original remote control transmitter is needed for Fixed Code programming. The programmed buttons should be erased when the vehicle is sold or the lease ends. See “Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons” later in this section. Park the vehicle outside of the garage when programming a garage door. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or gate that is being programmed.


Programming Universal Home Remote — Rolling Code For questions or help programming the Universal Home Remote System, call 1-866-572-2728 or go to learcar2u.com. Most garage door openers sold after 1996 are Rolling Code units. Programming a garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure before starting. Otherwise, the device will time out and the procedure will have to be repeated. To program up to three devices:


1. From inside the vehicle, press the two outside


buttons at the same time for one to two seconds, and immediately release them.


3-50


3.


4.


Immediately return to the vehicle. Press and hold the Universal Home Remote button that will be used to control the garage door until the garage door moves. The indicator light, above the selected button, should slowly blink. This button may need to be held for up to 20 seconds. Immediately, within one second, release the button when the garage door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly until programming is complete.


5. Press and release the same button again.


The garage door should move, confirming that programming is successful and complete.


To program another Rolling Code device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home automation device, repeat Steps 1-5, choosing a different function button in Step 3 than what was used for the garage door opener. If these instructions do not work, the garage door opener is probably a Fixed Code unit. Follow the Programming instructions that follow for a Fixed Code garage door opener.


3-51


2. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener


receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn” or “Smart” button. It can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-head unit and may be a colored button. Press this button. After pressing this button, complete the following steps in less than 30 seconds.


To program up to three devices:


Programming Universal Home Remote — Fixed Code For questions or help programming the Universal Home Remote System, call 1-866-572-2728 or go to learcar2u.com. Most garage door openers sold before 1996 are Fixed Code units. Programming a garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure before starting. Otherwise, the device will time out and the procedure will have to be repeated.


1. To verify that the garage door opener is a Fixed Code unit, remove the battery cover on the hand held transmitter supplied by the manufacturer of the garage door opener motor. If there are a row of dip switches similar to the graphic above, the garage door opener is a Fixed Code unit. If you do not see a row of dip switches, return to the previous section for Programming Universal Home Remote – Rolling Code.

If at least one keyless access transmitter has been removed from the interior of the vehicle, the doors will lock after 10 seconds. For example, if there are two keyless access transmitters in the vehicle and one is removed, the other will be locked in. The keyless access transmitter locked in the vehicle can still be used to start the vehicle or unlock the doors, if needed.
