4. Immediately, within one second, release the button
when the garage door moves. The indicator light
will blink rapidly until programming is complete.
5. Press and release the same button again. The
garage door should move, conrming that
programming is successful and complete.
To program another Rolling Code device such as an
additional garage door opener, a security device,
or home automation device, repeat Steps 1 through 5,
choosing a different function button in Step 3 than
what was used for the garage door opener.
If these instructions do not work, the garage door
opener is probably a Fixed Code unit. Follow the
Programming instructions that follow for a Fixed Code
garage door opener.
Programming Universal Home
Remote — Fixed Code
For questions or help programming the Universal Home
Remote System, call 1-866-572-2728 or go to
learcar2u.com.
Most garage door openers sold before 1996 are Fixed
Code units.
Programming a garage door opener involves
time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure
before starting. Otherwise, the device will time out and
the procedure will have to be repeated.To program up to three devices:
1. To verify that the garage door opener is a Fixed
Code unit, remove the battery cover on the hand
held transmitter supplied by the manufacturer of the
garage door opener motor. If there are a row of
dip switches similar to the graphic above, the
garage door opener is a Fixed Code unit. If you do
not see a row of dip switches, return to the
previous section for Programming Universal Home
Remote – Rolling Code.
Your hand held transmitter can have between eight
to 12 dip switches depending on the brand of
transmitter.
2-77

The garage door opener receiver (motor head unit)
could also have a row of dip switches that can
be used when programming the Universal Home
Remote. If the total number of switches on the motor
head and hand held transmitter are different, or if
the dip switch settings are different, use the
dip switch settings on the motor head unit to
program the Universal Home Remote. The motor
head dip switch settings can also be used when the
original hand held transmitter is not available.
The panel of switches might not appear exactly as
they do in the examples above, but they should
be similar.
The switch positions on the hand-held transmitter
could be labeled, as follows:
A switch in the up position could be labeled as
“Up,” “+,” or “On.”
A switch in the down position could be labeled
as “Down,” “−,” or “Off.”
A switch in the middle position could be labeled
as “Middle,” “0,” or “Neutral.” Example of Eight Dip Switches with Two Positions
Example of Eight Dip Switches with Three Positions
2-78

2. Write down the eight to 12 switch settings from left
to right as follows:
When a switch is in the up position, write “Left.”
When a switch is in the down position, write
“Right.”
If a switch is set between the up and down
position, write “Middle.”
The switch settings written down in Step 2 now
become the button strokes to be entered into the
Universal Home Remote in Step 4. Be sure to
enter the switch settings written down in Step 2, in
order from left to right, into the Universal Home
Remote, when completing Step 4.
3. From inside your vehicle, rst rmly press all three
buttons at the same time for about three seconds.
Release the buttons to put the Universal Home
Remote into programming mode.4. The indicator lights will blink slowly. Enter each
switch setting from Step 2 into your vehicle’s
Universal Home Remote. You will have two and
one-half minutes to complete Step 4. Now
press one button on the Universal Home Remote
for each switch setting as follows:
If you wrote “Left,” press the left button in the
vehicle.
If you wrote “Right,” press the right button in the
vehicle.
If you wrote “Middle,” press the middle button in
the vehicle.

5. After entering all of the switch positions, again,
rmly press and release all three buttons at the
same time. The indicator lights will turn on.
6. Press and hold the button that will be used to
control the garage door until the garage door
moves. The indicator light above the selected button
should slowly blink. This button may need to be
held for up to 55 seconds.
7. Immediately release the button when the garage
door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly
until programming is complete.
8. Press and release the same button again. The
garage door should move, conrming that
programming is successful and complete.
To program another Fixed Code device such as an
additional garage door opener, a security device,
or home automation device, repeat Steps 1-8, choosing
a different button in Step 6 than what was used for
the garage door opener.
Using Universal Home Remote
Press and hold the appropriate button for at least half of
a second. The indicator light will come on while the
signal is being transmitted.
Reprogramming Universal Home
Remote Buttons
Any of the three buttons can be reprogrammed by
repeating the instructions.
Erasing Universal Home Remote
Buttons
The programmed buttons should be erased when the
vehicle is sold or the lease ends.
To erase either Rolling Code or Fixed Code on the
Universal Home Remote device:
1. Press and hold the two outside buttons at the same
time for approximately 20 seconds, until the
indicator lights, located directly above the buttons,
begin to blink rapidly.

Luggage Carrier
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 can damage
the 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.
For vehicles with a luggage carrier, items can be loaded
on top of the vehicle.
The luggage carrier has siderails attached to the roof. It
can also have crossrails which can be moved back
and forth to help secure cargo. Tie the load to the
siderails or siderail supports.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading the vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, seeLoading the Vehicle on
page 4-32.
Make sure the cargo is properly loaded.
2-82

To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving,
periodically stop and check to make sure cargo is still
securely fastened.
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 and secure it to the crossrails or the
siderail supports. Use the crossrails only to keep
the load from sliding. To move a crossrail, lift
the release lever up, on both sides of the rail. Then
slide the crossrail to the desired position balancing
the force side to side. Press the release lever
down on both sides of the rail, down to tighten it.
Try to slide the crossrail back and forth slightly
to make sure it is tight.
To carry long items, move the crossrails as far
apart as possible. Tie the load to the crossrails and
the siderails or siderail supports. Also tie the
load to the bumpers, but 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.
A Center High-Mounted Stoplamp (CHMSL) is located
above the rear window glass.
Make sure items loaded on the roof of the vehicle do
not block or damage the CHMSL.
Rear Seat Armrest
Vehicles with a rear seat armrest, have two cupholders.
Pull the armrest down from the rear seatback to
access the cupholders.
Cargo Management System
For vehicles with a cargo management system, it is
located in the bed of the truck. The system contains
three rails located on the front and sides of the bed.
The system has four adjustable cargo tie-downs, that can
be placed on the upper and lower slides of the rail.
2-83

To adjust a tie-down, pull the locator pin out and move
the tie-down to another location making sure the
locator pin lines up with a locator hole on the rail. The
tie-down pin may not be installed correctly if the pin does
not line up, turn it over and reinstall. The tie-down will
not move when the pin is completely installed. The
maximum load for each rail is 500 lbs (227 kg).
The rails are notched at each end which allows the
tie-downs to be removed and placed on another rail. To
remove, pull the locator pin out and slide the tie-down
to the end of the rail and pull back.To remove or install cargo tie-downs at the front of the
bed, slide the corner cap towards the center of the
bed to expose the rail notches. To remove the corner
cap, pull either edge away from the rail.
To remove the system, loosen the toggle bolts on each
rail until they can be removed from the bed of the
truck. To replace the system, place the toggle bolts and
rails into their original locations and tighten them to a
torque setting of 12.5 ft lbs (17Y).
If the system is removed to install a bed liner, make
sure there is no bed liner material in the installation
points.
Notice:If cargo is tied down using the horizontal
slots on the top of the pickup box, the box could be
damaged. Using the horizontal slots on the top of
the pickup box for tie-down locations may cause
damage to the pickup box and would not be covered
by the vehicle warranty. Only use the tie-down
loops if the vehicle does not have the cargo
management system.
