Home Remote Transmitter.
166

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 586.
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.Programming Universal Home Remote
Follow these steps to program up to three
channels:
1. Press and hold down the two outside Universal
Home Remote buttons, releasing only when
the Universal Home Remote indicator light
begins to ash, after 20 seconds. Do not hold
down the buttons for longer than 30 seconds
and do not repeat this step to program a
second and/or third hand-held transmitter to
the remaining two Universal Home Remote
buttons.
2. Position the end of your hand-held transmitter
about 1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from
the Universal Home Remote buttons
while keeping the indicator light in view.

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 Universal Home Remote 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 or garage door
opener by using the “Programming Universal
Home Remote” procedures, regardless of where
you live, replace Step 3 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” with the following:
Continue to press and hold the Universal Home
Remote button while you press and release every
two seconds (cycle) the hand-held transmitter
button until the frequency signal has been
successfully accepted by the Universal Home
Remote. The Universal Home Remote indicator
light will ash slowly at rst and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step 4 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” to complete.
Using Universal Home Remote
Press and hold the appropriate Universal Home
Remote button for at least half of a second.
The indicator light will come on while the signal
is being transmitted.
Erasing Universal Home Remote
Buttons
To erase programming from the three Universal
Home Remote 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.
The Universal Home Remote is now in the training
(learning) mode and can be programmed at any
time beginning with Step 2 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” shown earlier in
this section.
Individual buttons cannot be erased, but they
can be reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming
a Single Universal Home Remote Button”
following this section.

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.
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 402.
171

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.
