OnStar service cannot work unless
the vehicle is in a place where
OnStar has an agreement with a
wireless service provider for service
in that area. OnStar service also
cannot work unless the vehicle is in
a place where the wireless service
provider OnStar has hired for
that area has coverage, network
capacity and reception when
the service is needed, and
technology that is compatible
with the OnStar service. Not all
services are available everywhere,
particularly in remote or enclosed
areas, or at all times.
Location information about the
vehicle is only available if the GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed
and available.
The vehicle must have a working
electrical system, including adequate
battery power, for the OnStar
equipment to operate. There are
other problems OnStar cannotcontrol that may prevent OnStar
from providing OnStar service at
any particular time or place.
Some examples are damage to
important parts of the vehicle in a
crash, hills, tall buildings, tunnels,
weather or wireless phone network
congestion.
Your Responsibility
Increase the volume of the radio
if the OnStar advisor cannot
be heard. If the light next to the
OnStar buttons is red, the system
may not be functioning properly.
Press the OnStar button and request
a vehicle diagnostic. If the light
appears clear (no light is appearing),
your OnStar subscription has

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.

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 ashes 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 comes on while
the signal is being transmitted.

you sell or 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.
