Vehicle theft is big business,
especially in some cities. This
vehicle has theft-deterrent features,

transmitter is pressed, but a door
is open, the doors lock, the lights
may ash and the horn may sound.

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 you are
programming.
It is recommended that a new
battery be installed in the hand-held
transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.
Programming the Universal
Home Remote System
If you have questions or need 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 you
begin. If you do not follow these
actions, the device times out and you
have to repeat the procedure.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 erases 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 the 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 the garage
door opener receiver (motor
head unit).
3. At the same time, press and hold
both the Universal Home Remote
button that you would like to
use 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 you to
substitute Step 3 with the
procedure noted in “Gate
Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this
section.
