Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program
up to three channels:
I, If you have not previously programmed a universal
channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold down the
two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
until
the red light begins to flash rapidly (approximately
20 seconds). Then rekase the buttons. This procedure
initializes the memory and erases any previous
settings for all three channels.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the ~~niversal transmitter
so that
you can still see the red
light.
3. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button on the
universal transmitter. Continue
to hold both buttons
through Step
4.
4.
Hold down both buttons until yo~r see the red light
on the Llniversal transmitter flash rapidly. The rapid
flashing, which could take up
to 90 seconds,
indicates that the universal transmitter has been
programmed. Release both buttons once the light
starts
to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make s~rre that you have followed the
directions exactly
as described and that the battery in the
hand-held transmitter is not dead.
If yo~t still cannot
program
it, rotate the hand-held transmitter end over end
and
try again. The universal transmitter may not work
with older garage door openers that do not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards.
If you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts. consult
your
GM dealer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter in case
you need
to erase and reprogram the universal transmitter.

Snow can trap exhaust gases under your vehicle.
This can cause deadly
CO (carbon monoxide) gas
to get inside.
CO could overcome you and kill
you. You can’t see it or smell it,
so you might not
know it is in your vehicle. Clear away snow from
around the base of your vehicle, especially any
that is blocking your exhaust pipe. And check
around again from time to time to be sure snow
doesn’t collect there.
Open a window just a little on the side of the
vehicle that’s away from the wind. This will help
keep
CO out.
Run your engine only as long as you must. This saves
fuel. When
you run the engine, make it go a little faster
than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly.
This
uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the
battery charged.
You will need a well-charged battery to
restart the vehicle. and possibly for signaling later on
with your headlamps. Let the heater run for a while.
Then, shut the engine
off and close the window almost
all the way
to preserve the heat. Start the engine again
and repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable
from the cold.
But do it as little as possible. Preserve the
fuel as long
as you can. To help keep warm, you can get
out of the vehicle and
do some hirly vigorous exercises
every half
hour or so until help comes.

7. Don't let the other end
touch metal. Contwct it to
the positive (+) terminal
8. Now connect the
black negative (-) cable
to the good battery's
negative
(-) terminal.
Don't let the other
end
touch anything until the
next step. The other end
of the negative cable
doesn't go to the dead
battery.
It pes to a heavy
unpainted metal ~U'I on
the engine of the vehicle
with the dead battery.
9. Attach the cable at least
18 inches (45 crn) away
from
the dead battery,
but
not near engine purts
that ITIOW.
The electrical
connection
is just as
good there, but the
chance
of sparks getting
back to
the battery is
much less.
10. Now start the vehicle with the good battery and run
the engine for ;1 while.
1 I. Try to start the vehicle with the dead battery. If it
won't start after a few tries make sure all
connections we good. If it still won't start. it
probably needs service.
A CAUTION:
I
Fans or other moving engine parts can injure you
badly. Keep your hands away from moving parts
once the engines arc running.
