Compass Operation
PressOor AUTO3, depending on the vehicle, to
turn the compass on or off.
When the ignition and the compass feature are on, aftera few seconds, the mirror will display the compassheading. The compass automatically calibrates as thevehicle is driven.
Compass Calibration
If after a few seconds, the display does not show thecorrect direction, (for example, N for North), theremay be a strong magnetic field interfering with thecompass. Interference can be caused by a magneticantenna mount, magnetic note pad holder or asimilar magnetic item.
The compass can be placed in calibration mode
manually by pressing and holdingOor AUTO3,
depending on the vehicle, until a C is shown inthe compass display.
The compass can be calibrated by driving the vehicle incircles at 5 mph (8 km/h) or less until the displayreads a direction.

The front display is located on top of the instrumentpanel to the right of the driver. The front display will haveeither three or six lights to provide distance andsystem information. With Adaptive Cruise control (ACC),it will have three lights along with the ACC lights.Without ACC, it will have six lights. High-toned beepsfrom the front speakers are for objects detected near thefront bumper.
The rear display is located near the rear window andcan be seen by looking over your right shoulder.The rear display uses three color-coded lights to providedistance and system information. Low-toned beepsfrom the rear speakers are for the rear bumper.
How the System Works
UFRPA comes on automatically when the shift lever ismoved out of P (Park). The system does not work at aforward or reverse speed greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
To be detected, objects must be at least 25.4 cm (10 in.)off the ground and below hood or trunk level. Objectsmust also be within 1.2 m (4 ft.) in front of thevehicle and 2.5 m (8 ft.) from the rear bumper. Thisdistance may be less during warmer or humid weather.
When backing up, if objects are detected at thesame time near both the front and rear bumpers, bothcolor-coded light displays will notify you of objects closeto each bumper. If there are objects detected nearboth bumpers, the beeps will only be sounded to notifythat objects are close to the rear bumper. However,if while the vehicle is backing up and an object comeswithin 0.3 m (1 ft.) of the front bumper, and at the sametime there is another object further than 0.3 m (1 ft.)from the rear bumper, then the beeps will only besounded to notify you of the closer object that is nearthe front bumper.
The system can be disabled using the Driver InformationCenter (DIC). See “Parking Assist” underDIC Operationand Displays on page 4-62for more information.

Universal Home Remote System
Operation (With Three Round LED)
This vehicle may have the Universal Home RemoteSystem. If there are three round Light Emitting Diode(LED) indicator lights above the Universal Home Remotebuttons, follow the instructions below.
This system provides a way to replace up to three remotecontrol transmitters used to activate devices such asgarage door openers, security systems, and homeautomation devices.
Do not use this system with any garage door openerthat does not have the stop and reverse feature.This includes any garage door opener modelmanufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely before attempting toprogram the transmitter. Because of the steps involved,it may be helpful to have another person assist withprogramming the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitterfor use in other vehicles, as well as, for futureprogramming. Only the original remote controltransmitter is needed for Fixed Code programming. Theprogrammed buttons should be erased when thevehicle is sold or the lease ends. See “Erasing UniversalHome Remote Buttons” later in this section.
Park the vehicle outside of the garage whenprogramming a garage door. Be sure that people andobjects are clear of the garage door or gate that is beingprogrammed.
Programming Universal Home
Remote — Rolling Code
For questions or help programming the Universal HomeRemote System, call 1-866-572-2728 or go tolearcar2u.com.
Most garage door openers sold after 1996 are RollingCode units.

•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 nowbecome the button strokes to be entered into theUniversal Home Remote in Step 4. Be sure toenter the switch settings written down in Step 2, inorder from left to right, into the Universal HomeRemote, when completing Step 4.
3. From inside your vehicle, first firmly press all threebuttons at the same time for about three seconds.Release the buttons to put the Universal HomeRemote into programming mode.
4. The indicator lights will blink slowly. Enter eachswitch setting from Step 2 into your vehicle’sUniversal Home Remote. You will have two andone-half minutes to complete Step 4. Nowpress one button on the Universal Home Remotefor 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.

6. Press and hold the button that will be used tocontrol the garage door until the garage doormoves. The indicator light above the selected buttonshould slowly blink. This button may need to beheld for up to 55 seconds.
7. Immediately release the button when the garagedoor moves. The indicator light will blink rapidlyuntil programming is complete.
8. Press and release the same button again. Thegarage door should move, confirming thatprogramming is successful and complete.
To program another Fixed Code device such as anadditional garage door opener, a security device,or home automation device, repeat Steps 1-8, choosinga different button in Step 6 than what was used forthe garage door opener.
Using Universal Home Remote
Press and hold the appropriate button for at least half ofa second. The indicator light will come on while thesignal is being transmitted.
Reprogramming Universal Home
Remote Buttons
