Features and Controls 2-47

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.
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 the Universal Home
Remote.
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.When programming a garage door,
park outside of the garage. Park
directly in line with and facing
the garage door opener motor-head
or gate motor-head. Be sure that
people and objects are clear of the
garage door or gate that is being
programmed.
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 the Universal
Home Remote System
For questions or help programming
the Universal Home Remote
System, call 1-800-355-3515 or
go to www.homelink.com.
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. From inside the vehicle, press
and hold down the two outside
buttons at the same time,
releasing only when the Universal
Home Remote indicator light
begins to ash, after 20 seconds.
This step will erase the factory
settings or all previously
programmed buttons.
Do not hold down the buttons for
longer than 30 seconds and
do not repeat this step to
program the remaining two
Universal Home Remote buttons.

2. Hold 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. The hand-held transmitter
was supplied by the manufacturer
of your garage door opener
receiver (motor head unit).
3. At the same time, press and hold
both the Universal Home Remote
button to be used to control the
garage door and the hand-held
transmitter button. Do not release
the Universal Home Remote
button or the hand-held
transmitter button until Step 4
has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage
door openers may require
substitution of Step 3 with the
procedure noted in “Gate
Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this
section.4. The indicator light on the
Universal Home Remote
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.
5. Press and hold the newly-trained
Universal Home Remote button
and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on
continuously, the programming is
complete and the garage door
should move when the Universal
Home Remote button is pressed
and released. There is no need to
continue programming Steps 6
through 8.
If the Universal Home Remote
indicator light blinks rapidly
for two seconds and then turns
to a constant light, continue
with the programming Steps 6
through 8.It may be helpful to have another
person assist with the remaining
steps.
6. After Steps 1 through 5 have
been completed, locate inside
the garage the garage door
opener receiver (motor-head
unit). Locate the “Learn” or
“Smart” button. The name and
color of the button may vary
by manufacturer.

you will have 30 seconds to
complete Step 8.
8. Immediately return to the vehicle.
Firmly press 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,

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 HomeRemote 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

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
The programmed buttons should be
erased when the vehicle is sold
or the lease ends.
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.

When a door is opened, the
courtesy lamps automatically
come on. They make it easier
when entering and exiting the
vehicle. The lamps can also be
turned on manually by fully turning
the instrument panel brightness
control clockwise.
The reading lamps, located on the
headliner above the rearview mirror,
can be turned on or off independent
of the automatic courtesy lamps,
when the doors are closed.
Dome Lamps
The dome lamps automatically
come on when a door is opened,
unless the dome lamp override
button is pressed in.
The lamps can also be turned on
and off by turning the instrument
panel brightness control clockwise
to the farthest position.
Dome Lamp Override
The dome lamp override button is
located next to the exterior lamps
control.
The dome lamp override sets the
dome lamps to remain off or come on
automatically when a door is opened.
E(Dome Lamp Override):Press
the button in and the dome lamps
remain off when a door is opened.
Press the button again to return it
to the extended position so that
the dome lamps come on when
a door is opened.
Entry Lighting
For vehicles with courtesy lamps,
they come on and stay on for a set
time whenever the unlock symbol
is pressed on the Remote Keyless
Entry (RKE) transmitter, if the
vehicle has one.If a door is opened, the lamps stay
on while it is open and then turn off
automatically about 20 seconds after
the door is closed. If the unlock
symbol is pressed and no door is
opened, the lamps turn off after
about 20 seconds.
Entry lighting includes a feature
called theater dimming. With theater
dimming, the lamps do not turn off
at the end of the delay time. Instead,
they slowly dim and then go out.
The delay time is canceled if the
ignition key is turned to ON/RUN
or the power door lock switch is
pressed. The lamps will dim
right away.
When the ignition is on, illuminated
entry is inactive, which means the
courtesy lamps will not come on
unless a door is opened.
