Operation
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 575.
170

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.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the
desired Universal Home Remote button
and the hand-held transmitter button. Do not
release the buttons until Step 4 has been
completed.
Some entry gates and garage door openers
may require you to substitute Step 3 with
the procedure noted in “Gate Operator and
Canadian Programming” later in this section.
4. The indicator light will ash slowly at rst and
then rapidly after Universal Home Remote
successfully receives the frequency signal
from the hand-held transmitter. Release both
buttons.
171

5. Press and hold the newly-trained Universal
Home Remote button and observe the
indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on constantly,
programming is complete and your device
should activate when the Universal Home
Remote button is pressed and released.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 under
“Programming Universal Home Remote.”
Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of
the programmed channels.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then turns to a constant light,
continue with Steps 6 through 8 following to
complete the programming of a rolling-code
equipped device, most commonly, a garage
door opener.6. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener
receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn”
or “Smart” button. This can usually be
found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or “Smart”
button. The name and color of the button may
vary by manufacturer.
You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8.
8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold
the programmed Universal Home Remote
button for two seconds, then release. Repeat
the press/hold/release sequence a second
time, and depending on the brand of the
garage door opener, or other rolling code
device, repeat this sequence a third time to
complete the programming.
The Universal Home Remote should now
activate your rolling-code equipped device.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of
“Programming Universal Home Remote.”
You do not want to repeat Step 1, as this will
erase all previous programming from the Universal
Home Remote buttons.
172

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.
173

Reprogramming a Single Universal
Home Remote Button
To program a device to Universal Home Remote
using a Universal Home Remote button
previously trained, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the desired Universal Home
Remote button. Do not release the button.
2. The indicator light will begin to ash after
20 seconds. While still holding the Universal
Home Remote button, proceed with Step
2 under “Programming Universal Home
Remote” shown earlier in this section.

Storage Areas
Glove Box
Open the glove box by pulling the bottom of the
handle upward.
Cupholder(s)
Your vehicle may have cupholders located in the
front and rear of the oor console or in the fold
down armrest. The front cupholders can be
adjusted by moving the insert forward or rearward.
You may also have cupholders in the second and
third row seat armrest areas.
To access the cupholders in the rear oor console,

Luggage Carrier
If you have the luggage carrier, you can load
things on top of your vehicle.
The luggage carrier has siderails attached to the
roof and crossrails, if equipped, 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 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 390.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo as you are
leaving, 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,
place the load in the area over the rear wheels
(behind the rear side door on extended
models). If you need to, cut a piece of 3/8 inch
plywood to t inside the crossrails and siderails
to spread the load. If plywood is used, tie it 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 the crossrails, pull
out on the latch release handle at each end.
Slide the crossrail to the desired position
balancing the force side to side. Push the
release handle back into the latched position
and slide the crossrail back and forth slightly to
be sure the latch snaps securely into place.
175

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 glass or above the
rear load doors.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle, care
should be taken not to block or damage the
CHMSL unit.
Rear Storage Area
Your vehicle may have a storage compartment
located in the rear cargo area of the vehicle in the
driver’s side trim panel.
To open the utility compartment, turn the knobs
and swing the compartment door open. The
compartment door can be removed.
