Accessory Power Outlets
With the accessory power outlets, you can plug in
auxiliary electrical equipment. There are four accessory
power outlets located throughout the vehicle. Two are

located in
the lower rear of the center console and the
other is located in
the rear of the vehicle in the air
inflator compartment. Follow the proper installation
instructions that are included with any electrical
equipment you install.
These circuits are protected by
a fuse and have
maximum current levels.
NOTICE:
When using the accessory power outlets,
maximum electrical load must not exceed
20 amps. Always turn off any electrical
equipment when not in use. Leaving electrical
equipment on for extended periods will drain
your battery.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a power sliding
sunroof. To open or close your sunroof, the ignition or

of the button to close the sunroof. Once the sunroof
is closed, press the forward side of the button to open
the sunroof to the vent position.

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 release the

4.
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.
Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal 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 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
GMC dealer. Be
sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
universal transmitter.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The red light comes on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range of the
universal transmitter may differ from the hand-held
transmitter and from one channel to another.

Training a Garage Opener with a “Rolling
Code” Feature
If you programmed the universal transmitter, but the
garage door will not open, and
if your garage door opener
was manufactured after
1995, your garage door may have
a security feature that changes the “code” of your garage
door opener every time it is opened or closed.
To determine if your garage door opener has this
“rolling code” feature, press the appropriate button on
the universal transmitter that was programmed.
If the
red light flashes rapidly for one to two seconds, then
turns solid, your garage door opener has this feature.
To program a garage door opener with the rolling code
feature, do the following:
1. Program your hand-held transmitter to the universal
transmitter by following the steps provided under
“Programming the Transmitter” earlier in
this section.
2.

receiver. The exact location and color will vary
among brands.
Press the training button on the garage door opener
receiver for one to two seconds.
Return to your vehicle and press the programmed
button on the universal transmitter
until the red light
flashes rapidly (about two seconds).
Release the button, then press it again to confirm it

to the garage door opener receiver.
You may now use either the universal transmitter or the
