and hold the Universal Home Remote button,
chosen in Step 3 to control the garage door,
for two seconds, and then release it. If the garage
door does not move, press and hold the same
button a second time for two seconds, and then
release it. Again, if the door does not move,
press and hold the same button a third time
for two seconds, and then release.
The Universal Home Remote should now
activate the garage door.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of “Programming
the Universal Home Remote System.” Do not repeat
Step 1, as this will erase all previous programming
from the Universal Home Remote buttons.Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
If you have questions or need help programming the
Universal Home Remote System, call 1-800-355-3515
or go to www.homelink.com.
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.

Buttons

terminate your lease.
To erase all programmed buttons on the Universal
Home Remote device:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons until
the indicator light begins to ash, after 20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
Reprogramming a Single Universal

Turn Signal/Multifunction Lever
The lever on the left side of the steering column
includes:
GTurn and Lane-Change Signals. SeeTurn and
Lane-Change Signals on page 3-7.
3Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer. See
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on page 3-8.
Flash-to-Pass Feature. SeeFlash-to-Pass on
page 3-8.
Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has one upward (for right) and one
downward (for left) positions, which allow you to signal
a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or down.
When the turn is nished, the lever returns automatically
to the original position.
An arrow on the instrument
panel cluster ashes in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, slightly raise or lower the lever
until the arrow starts to ash and release the lever.
The turn signal ashes automatically three times.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
ash rapidly, a signal bulb may be burned out and other
drivers will not see your turn signal.
If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows do not go on at all when you
signal a turn, check the fuse, seeFuses and Circuit
Breakers on page 5-97and for burned-out bulbs.

Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low beam to high or
high beam to low, push the turn signal lever all the way
towards the instrument panel and release it.
This indicator light turns on
in the instrument panel
cluster when the high
beams are on.
Flash-to-Pass
This feature lets you use your high-beam headlamps to
signal a driver in front of you that you want to pass.
To ash the high beams from low beam, pull the turn
signal/multifunction lever all the way towards you.
Then release it.
Windshield Wipers
Clear ice and snow from the wiper blades before using
them. If the wiper blades are frozen to the windshield,
gently loosen or thaw them. If the blades do become
damaged, install new blades or blade inserts. See
Windshield Wiper Blade Replacement on page 5-50.
Heavy snow or ice can overload the wiper motor.
A circuit breaker will stop the motor until it cools down.
Clear away snow or ice to prevent an overload.
The lever on the right side of the steering column
operates the windshield wipers. Push up or pull down
on the lever to place it in one of the following positions.

Setting Cruise Control
{CAUTION:
If you leave your cruise control on when you
are not using cruise, you might hit a button
and go into cruise when you do not want to.
You could be startled and even lose control.
Keep the cruise control switch off until you
want to use cruise control.
The cruise control buttons
are located on the left side
of the steering wheel.
E(On/Off):Press this button to turn the cruise control
system on and off. An indicator light comes on.
RES+ (Resume/Accel):Press the thumbwheel up to
resume a set speed or to accelerate to a higher speed.
−SET (Set/Coast):Press the thumbwheel down to
set a speed or to decrease the speed.
To set a speed do the following:
1. Press the on/off symbol to turn cruise control on.
The indicator light on the button comes on.
2. Get to the speed desired.
3. Press the thumbwheel toward−SET and release it.
4. Take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
When the brakes are applied, the cruise control
shuts off.
Resuming a Set Speed
If the cruise control is set at a desired speed and then
the brakes are applied, the cruise control is disengaged.
The indicator light on the instrument panel cluster goes
out when the cruise is no longer engaged. To return to
the previously set speed, press the thumbwheel up
toward RES+ briey when the vehicle has reached a
speed of about 25 mph (40 km/h) or more.
This accelerates your vehicle to the previously selected
speed.

ProCarManuals.com

Increasing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
There are two ways to go to a higher speed.
Disengage the cruise control, but do not turn it off.
If the cruise control system is already engaged,
press the thumbwheel up toward RES+ and hold it
until your vehicle accelerates to the desired speed,
and then release the switch. To increase the speed
in very small amounts, press the thumbwheel up
toward RES+ briey and then release it. Each
time this is done, the vehicle will go about 1 mph
(1.6 km/h) faster.
Reducing Speed While Using Cruise
Control
If the cruise control system is already engaged,
Push the thumbwheel toward−SET and hold until
the desired lower speed is reached, then release it.
To slow down in very small amounts, push the
thumbwheel toward−SET briey. Each time this is
done, the vehicle goes about 1 mph (1.6 km/h)
slower.
Passing Another Vehicle While Using
Cruise Control
Use the accelerator pedal to increase the vehicle’s
speed. When you take your foot off the pedal, the
vehicle will slow down to the previously set cruise
control speed.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well the cruise control works on hills depends upon
the vehicle’s speed, load, and the steepness of the
hills. When going up steep hills, you might have to
step on the accelerator pedal to maintain the vehicle’s
speed. When going downhill, you might have to brake
or shift to a lower gear to maintain the vehicle’s
speed. Of course, applying the brakes ends cruise
control. Many drivers nd this to be too much trouble
and do not use cruise control on steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are three ways to disengage the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal or clutch; when
cruise control disengages, the indicator light on
the instrument panel cluster goes out.
Press the on/off button, this will turn off the cruise
control system.
