Resynchronization 
Pressing  the  transmitter  buttons  numerous  times 
(approximately 
250 times)  out  of the  vehicle’s  operating 
range  may  cause  the  transmitter  not 
to work.  Replacing 
the  battery  and  pressing  the  transmitter  buttons  out 
of 
range  will  also  cause  the  transmitter  not  to  work. If only 
the  fuel  door  button  works,  the  transmitter  needs  to  be 
resynchronized  to  the  receiver. 
Do this  by  pressing  and 
holding  both  the 
LOCK and UNLOCK buttons  on  the 
transmitter  for about  eight  seconds.  You  must  be  within 
range  of  the  vehicle. 
Once  the  transmitter  has  been  resynchronized,  the  horn 
will  chirp  and  the  exterior  lamps  will  flash  once.  The 
system  should  now  operate  properly.  See  your  dealer  for 
service  if  your  transmitter  still doesn’t  work  properly. 
Matching  Transmitter(s) To Your  Vehicle 
Each  remote  keyless  entry  transmitter  is  coded  to 
prevent  another  transmitter  from  unlocking  your  vehicle. 
If  a  transmitter 
is lost  or  stolen,  a  replacement  can  be 
purchased  through  your  dealer.  Once  your  dealer  has  coded  the  new  transmitter,  the  lost  transmitter  will  not 
unlock  your  vehicle.  Each  vehicle  can  have  only 
up to 
four  transmitters  matched  to  it. 
All  transmitters  must  be  present  when  replacement  or  additional  transmitters  are  being  programmed.

it  by  pressing  and  holding  the  lock  and  unlock 
buttons

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Programming the  Transmitter 
Do not  use the universal  transmitter  with  any  garage 
door  opener  that  does  not  have  the  “stop  and  reverse”  safety  feature.  This  includes  any  garage  door  opener 
model  manufactured  before  April 
1, 1982. 
Be  sure  that  people  and  objects 
are clear of the garage 
door  you  are  programming. 
Turn  the ignition 
off while  programming  the transmitter. 
Follow  these  steps to  program  up  to  three  channels: 
1. 
2. 
3. 
If you  have  previously  programmed  a  transmitter 
channel,  proceed  to  Step 
2. Otherwise,  hold  down 
the  two  outside  buttons  on  the  universal  transmitter 
until  the light  on  the transmitter  begins  to flash 
rapidly  (approximately 
20 seconds).  Then  release  the 
buttons.  This  procedure  initializes  the  memory  and  erases  any  previous  settings  for all  three  channels. 
Decide  which  one of the  three  channels  you  want 
to  program. 
Hold  the  end  of the  hand-held  transmitter  against  the 
front  surface  of the  universal  transmitter 
so that  you 
can  still see the  amber light. 
4. Using  both  hands,  press  the hand-held  transmitter 
button  and  the  desired  button  on  the universal 
transmitter.  Continue  to  press  both  buttons  through  Step 
5. 
5. Hold  down  both  buttons  until  you  see  the  light on 
the  universal  transmitter  flash  slowly  and  then 
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  sure  that  you  have  followed  the 
directions  exactly  as  described  and  that  the  battery  in  the 
hand-held  transmitter  is  not  dead. 
If you  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  dealer.

“Rolling  Codes” 
(If Equipped) 
If you have  not  previously  programmed  the hand-held 
transmitter  to  the universal  transmitter,  see 
“Programming  the Transmitter”  in  the Index.  If  you 
have  completed  this  programming, 
you need  to  train  the 
garage  door  opener  receiver  to  recognize  the  universal 
transmitter.  Refer  to 
your garage door  opener  owner’s 
manual  for the proper  transmitter  training  procedure  for 
your  garage  door  opener  brand. 
1. 
2. 
3.  Locate 
the  training  button 
on the garage  door  opener 
receiver.  The exact  location  and  color  of the  button 
may  vary  by  garage  door  opener  brand.  If  you  have  difficulty  locating  the training  button,  refer  to  your 
garage  door  opener  manual. 
Press  the  training  button  on  the  garage  door  opener 
receiver  for  one  or 
two seconds. A light  indicator  will 
begin  to 
flash when  the  receiver  enters  the  train  mode. 
Return  to  the universal  transmitter 
in your  vehicle 
and  press  the universal  transmitter  button  you  have 
already  programmed  for two  to  three  seconds.  Press 
the  button  again  to  make  sure  that  the  universal 
transmitter  has  been  trained  to  the  garage  door  opener  receiver.  Check  that  the train  was  successful. 
The  receiver  light  should  no  longer  be  flashing.  The 
garage  door  opener  should  now  recognize  the 
universal  transmitter. 
You may  either  use  the  universal 
transmitter 
or the  hand-held  transmitter  to  open  the 
garage  door. 
If  after  following  these  instructions  you  still have 
problems  training  the garage  door  opener,  consult 
your  dealer. 
Erasing  Chan-- 
To erase  all  three  programmed  channels,  hold  down  the 
two  outside  buttons  until  the  red  light  begins  to flash. 
Individual  channels  cannot  be  erased,  but  can  be 
reprogrammed  using  the  procedure  for programming  the 
transmitter  explained  earlier.

The  speedometer  lets  you see your speed  in  both  miles  per 
hour  (mph)  and  kilometers  per  hour 
(km/h). The odometer 
shows  how 
far your  vehicle  has  been  driven,  in  either  miles 
(used  in  the  United  States)  or  kilometers  (used  in  Canada).\
 
You  may  wonder  what  happens  if  a  vehicle  has 
to have  a 
new  odometer  installed.  The  new  one  may  read  the  correct 
mileage. 
This is  because  your  vehicle’s  computer  has 
stored  the  mileage  in  memory.
