Your vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote
System. If there is one triangular LED above the
Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the
instructions below. If your vehicle has three round
LED above the Universal Home Remote buttons,
follow the instructions under Universal Home
Remote System Operation (with three round LED).
Do not use the Universal Home Remote with any
garage door opener that does not have the stop
and reverse feature. This includes any garage door
opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
If you have a newer garage door opener with rolling
codes, please be sure to follow Steps 6 through 8 to
complete the programming of your Universal Home
Remote Transmitter.Read the instructions completely before attempting
to program the Universal Home Remote.
Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to
have another person available to assist you in
the programming steps.
Keep the original hand-held transmitter for use in
other vehicles as well as for future Universal
Home Remote programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale of the vehicle,
the programmed Universal Home Remote buttons
should be erased for security purposes. See
“Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons” later in
this section or, for assistance, seeCustomer
Assistance Offices on page 546.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the
garage door or gate operator you are
programming. When programming a garage door,
it is advised to park outside of the garage.
It is recommended that a new battery be installed
in your hand-held transmitter for quicker and
more accurate transmission of the radio-frequency
signal.

upper and lower storage bin that can be opened
by lifting up on the latches located at the front
of the console lids. The console may have
an accessory power outlet inside, seeAccessory
Power Outlet(s) on page 217. The rear of the

the rear seat passengers to use.
Luggage Carrier
The vehicle may have a luggage carrier that can
be used to load things on top of the vehicle.
The luggage carrier has siderails attached to the
roof. It may also have crossrails which can be
moved back and forth to help secure cargo. Tie the
load to the siderails or siderail supports.
166

Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier
that weighs more than 200 lbs (91 kg) or
hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle
may damage your vehicle. Load cargo so that
it rests on the slats as far forward as
possible and against the side rails, making
sure to fasten it securely.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading your vehicle. For more information
on vehicle capacity and loading, seeLoading Your
Vehicle on page 372.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while you are
driving, check now and then to make sure the
luggage and cargo are still securely fastened.
Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.
If small heavy objects are placed on the roof,
cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to t inside
the crossrails and siderails to spread the load.
Tie the plywood to the siderail supports.
Tie the load to the crossrails or the siderail
supports. Use the crossrails only to keep
the load from sliding. To move a crossrail, turn
the release knobs, on both sides of the rail,
counterclockwise to loosen it. Slide the
crossrail to the desired position balancing the
force side to side. Turn the release knobs,
on both sides of the rail, clockwise to tighten
it. Try to slide the crossrail back and forth
slightly to be sure it is tight.
If you need to carry long items, move the
crossrails as far apart as they will go. Tie
the load to the crossrails and the siderails or
siderail supports. Also tie the load to the
bumpers. Do not tie the load so tightly that the
crossrails or siderails are damaged.
After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely
locked into the siderail.
Your vehicle has a Center High-Mounted Stoplamp
(CHMSL) located above the rear glass.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle, care
should be taken not to block or damage the
CHMSL unit.
