This system can replace up to three remote control transmitters used to activate devices such as garage door openers, security systems, and 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

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.

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 “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.

Smart button. Step 6 must be completed within 30 seconds of pressing this button. Inside the vehicle, press and hold the newly programmed Universal Remote system button for two seconds and then release it. If the garage door does not move or the lamp on the garage door opener receiver 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 to program 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.

Instruments and Controls

139

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.”

Flash-to-Pass To use the flash-to-pass feature, briefly pull the turn signal lever toward you. The high-beam indicator flashes to indicate to the other driver that you intend to pass.

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

It is still daylight and the ignition is on.

. The exterior lamp control is in

the AUTO position.

. The transmission is not in

P (Park) or the parking brake is off.

When DRL are on, only the front lamps will be on. The parking lamps, taillamps, instrument panel lights, or other exterior lamps will not be on when the DRL are being used. When it is dark enough outside, the front lamps dim to parking lamps and the normal low-beam headlamps turn on.

Lighting

141

When it is bright enough outside, the regular lamps go off, and the front DRL will take over. If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system comes on immediately. Once the vehicle leaves the garage, it takes approximately one minute for the automatic headlamp system to change to DRL if it is light outside. During that delay, the instrument cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness knob is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Illumination Control 0 144. If it is dark enough outside and the exterior lamp control is off, a Driver Information Center (DIC) message may display. See Lamp Messages 0 125. Turning the exterior lamp control to off a second time, or turning on the headlamps will remove the DIC message. If the parking lamps were turned on instead, the DIC message will continue to be displayed. The regular headlamp system should be turned on when needed.

Lighting

To turn off the DRL, turn the exterior lamp control to the off position or shift into P (Park). The DRL will stay off until the control is toggled again or the vehicle is shifted out of P (Park). This procedure applies only to vehicles first sold in the United States.

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

There is a light sensor on top of the instrument panel. Do not cover the sensor, otherwise the headlamps will come on when they are not needed. The system may also turn on the headlamps and parking lamps when driving through a parking garage or tunnel. If the vehicle is started in a dark garage, the automatic headlamp system comes on immediately. If it is light outside when the vehicle leaves the garage, there is a slight delay before the automatic headlamp system changes to the DRL. During that delay, the instrument cluster may not be as bright as usual. Make sure the instrument panel brightness control is in the full bright position. See Instrument Panel Illumination Control 0 144. When it is bright enough outside, the headlamps and parking lamps will turn off or may change to Daytime Running Lamps (DRL).

The automatic headlamp system turns off when the exterior lamp control is turned to O or the ignition is off. To turn automatic headlamp system back on, turn the band to O again, then release it. If the automatic headlamp system has the headlamps turned on and you turn the ignition off, the headlamps will turn off.

The climate control system uses the sensor information to adjust the temperature, fan speed, recirculation, and air delivery mode for best comfort. The humidity and windshield temperature sensor is on the windshield glass inside surface near the rearview mirror. The automatic climate control system uses this sensor to receive information to determine the need for defogging. If any of these sensors are blocked or covered, the automatic climate control system may not work properly. There is also a sensor behind the front bumper. This sensor reads the outside air temperature and helps to maintain the temperature inside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the vehicle could give a false reading in the temperature.

Air Vents Use the tab on the air outlets to change the direction of the airflow.

Operation Tips . Clear away any ice, snow,

or leaves from the air inlets at the base of the windshield that may block the flow of air into the vehicle.

. Use of non-GM approved hood deflectors may adversely affect the performance of the system. . Keep the area around the base of the instrument panel console and air path under the seats clear of objects to help circulate the air inside of the vehicle more effectively.

Maintenance

Passenger Compartment Air Filter The passenger compartment air filter reduces dust, pollen, and other airborne irritants from outside air that is pulled into the vehicle. Reductions in airflow, which may occur more often in dusty areas, indicate that the filter may need to be replaced. See Maintenance Schedule 0 298.

Caution

Driving without a passenger compartment air filter in place can cause water and small particles, like paper and leaves, to be pulled into your climate control system which may cause damage to it. Make sure you always replace the old filter with a new one.

The passenger compartment air filter is on the passenger side of the engine compartment near the coolant surge tank. See Engine Compartment Overview 0 218. To check or replace the air filter:

1. Release the retainer clips from the passenger compartment air filter cover. The PVC hoses may need to be held out of the way briefly to access the air filter cover.

2. Remove the cover.
