2005 HUMMER H2 Owners Manual

Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals to “time out” or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long enough for
HomeLink
®to pick up the signal during programming.
Similarly, some U.S. gate operators are manufactured to
“time out” in the same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator by using the
“Programming HomeLink
®” procedures (regardless of
where you live), replace Step 3 under “Programming
HomeLink
®” with the following:
Continue to press and hold the HomeLink
®button while
you press and release every two seconds (cycle)
your hand-held transmitter until the frequency signal has
been successfully accepted by HomeLink
®. The
indicator light will ash slowly at rst and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step 4 under “Programming HomeLink
®”
to complete.
Using HomeLink®
Press and hold the appropriate HomeLink®button for at
least half of a second. The indicator light will come
on while the signal is being transmitted.
Erasing HomeLink®Buttons
To erase programming from the three buttons do the
following:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until
the indicator light begins to ash, after 20 seconds.
Do not hold the two outside buttons for longer
than 30 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
HomeLink
®is now in the train (learning) mode and can
be programmed at any time beginning with Step 2
under “Programming HomeLink
®” shown earlier in this
section.
Individual buttons can not be erased, but they can be
reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single
HomeLink
®Button” following this section.

Reprogramming a Single HomeLink®
Button
To program a device to HomeLink®using a HomeLink®
button previously trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired HomeLink
®button. Do
not release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to ash after
20 seconds. While still holding the HomeLink
®
button, proceed with Step 2 under “Programming
HomeLink®” shown earlier in this section.
Resetting Defaults
To reset HomeLink®to default settings do the following:
1. Hold down the two outside buttons for about
20 seconds until the indicator light begins to ash.
2. Continue to hold both buttons until the HomeLink
®
indicator light turns off.
3. Release both buttons.

Storage Areas
Glove Box
Open the glove box by pulling the bottom of the handle
upward. Close the glove box with a rm push.
Center Overhead Console
Your vehicle is equipped with either a short or long
overhead console.
2-54

To open a door on the console, push on the rear edge
of the door and let it swing open. Push the door up
until it latches to close the door.
The overhead consoles also includes reading lamps, the
HomeLink transmitter buttons and the sunroof switch
(if equipped).
Center Console Storage Area
Your vehicle has a console compartment between the
bucket seats.
To open it, press the button on the side of the console
and swing the console lid open.
Luggage Carrier
If your vehicle has this feature, you can load cargo on
your vehicle.
For the SUV the luggage carrier consists of siderails
attached to the roof. The crossrails attach into the
siderails and can be moved back and forth (fore and aft)
to accommodate securing various cargo sizes.For the SUT the luggage carrier consists of siderails
that run the length of the roof and the cargo area. The
crossrails attach into the siderails and can be moved
back and forth (fore and aft) to accommodate securing
various cargo sizes.
Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier that
weighs more than 300 lbs. (136 kg) or hangs
over the rear or sides of the vehicle may damage
your vehicle. Load cargo only on top of the
crossrails and tie the cargo down to the crossrail
support cargo tie-down loops, making sure to fasten
it securely.
Don’t exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading your vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, seeLoading Your Vehicle on
page 4-58.
2-55

Adjusting the Crossrails
Adjust the crossrails to t your load by doing the
following:
1. Loosen the lock knobs on the crossrail supports by
turning the knobs counterclockwise. Only loosen
them enough to allow the crossrails to slide easily.
2. Slide the crossrails to the desired position, being
sure to align the lines in the side rails with the
arrows on the crossrail supports.3. Tighten the lock knobs and then try to move the
crossrails back and forth to be sure that they do
not move.
4. Once you load the cargo onto the crossrails, secure
it by tying it down to the crossrail support cargo
tie-down loops. Do not load cargo directly on
the roof of your vehicle.
Be sure you do not cover the roof marker lamps or
the Center-High-Mounted Stoplamp (CHMSL)
(If equipped) with cargo.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo check now and
then to make sure the luggage and cargo are still
securely fastened and the crossrails are tight.
2-56

Stop Tabs
If your vehicle has a sunroof, it will have a crossrail
stop tab placed in the siderail in the spot labeled
SUN—ROOF STOP. This tab prevents you from moving
the crossrails past the opening of the sunroof and
loading cargo too far forward.
Your vehicle will also have a stop tab in the crossrail in
the spot labeled ON STAR STOP. This tab prevents
loading cargo too close to the OnStar antenna which will
cause the OnStar and navigation system (if equipped)
to function improperly or not at all.Vehicles with the off-road lamps will have additional
stop tabs placed in the siderails to prevent you
from moving the lamps too far rearward, causing them
to shine into the optional sunroof opening.
Crossrail Channels
Notice:If you drive your vehicle through an
automatic car wash that does not have enough
clearance for any roof-mounted accessories (such
as off-road lamps or a roof basket) on your vehicle,
you can damage your vehicle. To avoid damaging
your vehicle in a car wash, remove any
roof-mounted accessories if you can, and do not
use an automatic car wash while roof-mounted
accessories are on your vehicle. SeeWashing Your
Vehicle on page 5-96for more information.
The crossrails have built in channels to allow you to
attach other items designed for this system, such
as basket luggage carriers, bike racks, ski racks, etc.
2-57

To use the crossrail channels, do the following:
1. Use the included key to unlock the crossrail end
cap by turning it counterclockwise. If you ever
lose a key, your dealer will be able to help
you obtain a replacement.2. Pull the end cap
straight out from the
crossrail.
3. Peel back the rub strip from the crossrail.
4. Slide the accessory you are using into the crossrail
channel and secure it as the accessory instructions
direct.
5. Place the crossrail endcap back on and lock it with
the key.
You will not be using the rub strip when using crossrail
accessories. When you remove any crossrail
accessory, be sure to reinstall the rub strip. To do this,
press the rub strip in place until it seats into the
channel of the crossrail.
2-58

Rear Seat Armrest
Your vehicle is equipped with a rear armrest/cupholder.
To open it, pull up and then out on the tab, located at the
top center of the armrest, and pull the armrest down.
Cargo Tie Downs (SUT)
There are four oval shaped openings (A) in the cargo
bed that allow access to four tie downs. You can
use these tie downs to secure cargo.
All-Weather Cargo Area (SUT)
Your vehicle is equipped with features to help it resist
the elements and protect cargo inside the cargo area.
Even when the water management system is working
properly and the cover system is on, there may be some
instances (heavy rains, automated car washes, etc.)
when water may be present in the following areas:
A. Drain Hole
2-59

Removal and Cleaning
To ensure that the water management system performs
properly, be sure that the midgate, tailgate and cover
system are fully closed and that each element of
the water management system is clean and not blocked
with debris. Follow the instruction given next in this
section for the proper procedures on cleaning each item
of the water management system.
Side Rail Channels
The side rail channels are located on top of both sides
of the roof and the cargo area. You may want to
ush them out with clean water if you notice any debris
collecting inside of them.
When loading cargo into the cargo area, be careful not
to damage the rails.
For more information on this feature seeLuggage
Carrier on page 2-55
Cargo Area Floor Drains
Your vehicle also has four cargo-area oor drains (a)
located under the cargo mat, if equipped, near the sides
of the cargo area. These drains should be cleaned
periodically to allow water to exit the cargo area.
The cargo mat has cutouts for the drains. You can ush
the drains through the cutouts, but if the cargo area
is extremely dirty you can lift up the edges of the cargo
oor mat or take the whole mat out and ush the
drains with water.
