Luggage Carrier
If you try to carry something on top of your
vehicle that is longer
or wider than the luggage
carrier
-- like paneling, plywood, a mattress, and
so forth -- the wind can catch it as you drive
along. This can cause you to lose control. What
you are carrying could be violently torn
off, and
this could cause you or other drivers to have
a
collision, and of course damage your vehicle. You
may be able to carry something like this inside.
But, never carry something longer or wider than
the luggage carrier on top
of your vehicle.
A luggage carrier allows you to load things on top of
your vehicle. The luggage carrier has slats and side rails
attached to
the roof, sliding crossrails and places to use
for tying things down. These let you load some other
things on top
of your vehicle, as long as they are not
wider or longer than the luggage carrier. To slide the
crossrails to where you want them, push
up
on the lever under each side of the crossrail. This will
release the crossrail and allow you to slide it. When the
crossrail
is where you want it, push down on the lever to
lock it into place.
NOTICE:
Loading cargo that weighs more than 200 Ibs.
(91 kg) on the luggage carrier may damage
your vehicle.
When
you carry cargo on the luggage carrier of a
proper size and weight, put
it on the slats, as far
forward as you can. Then slide the crossrail up
against the rear of the load, to help keep it from
moving. You can then tie it down.
Don’t exceed the lnaximum vehicle capacity when loading
your vehicle. For more information on vehicle capacity
and loading, see “Loading
YOLK Vehicle” in the Index.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you’re driving,
check now and then
to make sure the luggage carrier is
locked and cargo is
still securely fastened.

that does not have the “stop and reverse” feature. This
includes any garage door opener mode1 manufactured
before April
1. 1982.
Be s1.1~ thcrt people cmcl ol?jec.t.s u1-e dcwr ofthe g~[r~rge
cloor ~vrt (o-e /7t.oSI.Clrlllllirlg!
Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program
up to three channels:
1. If you have not previously programmed a universal
channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
~~ntil the red light 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.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the universal transmitter
so that
YOLI 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. Contin~le
to hold both buttons
through Step
4.
4. Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the ~~niversal transmitter flash rapidly. The rapid
flashing, which could take
LIP 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 Oldsmobile retailer.
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.
Erasing Channels
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.
Training a Garage Opener with a
“Rolling Code” Feature
If you programmed the universal transm-itter, 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.
