2010 CADILLAC DTS garage door opener

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

Programming a garage door opener involvestime-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedurebefore starting. Otherwise, the device will time out andthe procedure will have to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. From inside the vehicle, press the two outsidebuttons at the same time for one to two seconds,and immediately release them.2. Locate in the garage, the garage door openerreceiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn”or “Smart” button. It can usually be found where thehanging antenna wire is attached to the motor-headunit and may be a colored button. Press thisbutton. After pressing this button, complete thefollowing steps in less than 30 seconds.
3. Immediately return to the vehicle. Press and holdthe Universal Home Remote button that will beused to control the garage door until the garagedoor moves. The indicator light, above the selectedbutton, should slowly blink. This button mayneed to be held for up to 20 seconds.
3-50

4. Immediately, within one second, release the buttonwhen the garage door moves. The indicator lightwill blink rapidly until programming is complete.
5. Press and release the same button again. Thegarage door should move, confirming thatprogramming is successful and complete.
To program another Rolling Code device such as anadditional garage door opener, a security device,or home automation device, repeat Steps 1 through 5,choosing a different function button in Step 3 thanwhat was used for the garage door opener.
If these instructions do not work, the garage dooropener is probably a Fixed Code unit. Follow theProgramming instructions that follow for a Fixed Codegarage door opener.
Programming Universal Home
Remote — Fixed Code
For questions or help programming the Universal HomeRemote System, call 1-866-572-2728 or go tolearcar2u.com.
Most garage door openers sold before 1996 are FixedCode units.
Programming a garage door opener involvestime-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedurebefore starting. Otherwise, the device will time out andthe procedure will have to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. To verify that the garage door opener is a FixedCode unit, remove the battery cover on the handheld transmitter supplied by the manufacturer of thegarage door opener motor. If there are a row ofdip switches similar to the graphic above, thegarage door opener is a Fixed Code unit. If you donot see a row of dip switches, return to theprevious section for Programming Universal HomeRemote – Rolling Code.
Your hand held transmitter can have betweeneight to 12 dip switches depending on the brandof transmitter.
3-51

The garage door opener receiver (motor head unit)could also have a row of dip switches that canbe used when programming the Universal HomeRemote. If the total number of switches on the motorhead and hand held transmitter are different, or ifthe dip switch settings are different, use thedip switch settings on the motor head unit toprogram the Universal Home Remote. The motorhead dip switch settings can also be used when theoriginal hand held transmitter is not available.
The panel of switches might not appear exactly asthey do in the examples above, but they shouldbe similar.
The switch positions on the hand-held transmittercould 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.”

5. After entering all of the switch positions, again,firmly press and release all three buttons at thesame time. The indicator lights will turn on.
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
Any of the three buttons can be reprogrammed byrepeating the instructions.
Erasing Universal Home Remote
Buttons
The programmed buttons should be erased when thevehicle is sold or the lease ends.
To erase either Rolling Code or Fixed Code on theUniversal Home Remote device:
1. Press and hold the two outside buttons at the sametime for approximately 20 seconds, until theindicator lights, located directly above the buttons,begin to blink rapidly.
2. Once the indicator lights begin to blink, release bothbuttons. The codes from all buttons will be erased.

Electric Power Management
The vehicle has Electric Power Management (EPM) thatestimates the battery’s temperature and state ofcharge. It then adjusts the voltage for best performanceand extended life of the battery.
When the battery’s state of charge is low, the voltage israised slightly to quickly bring the charge back up.When the state of charge is high, the voltage is loweredslightly to prevent overcharging. If the vehicle has avoltmeter gage or a voltage display on the DriverInformation Center (DIC), you may see the voltage moveup or down. This is normal. If there is a problem, analert will be displayed.
The battery can be discharged at idle if the electricalloads are very high. This is true for all vehicles. This isbecause the generator (alternator) may not bespinning fast enough at idle to produce all the powerthat is needed for very high electrical loads.
A high electrical load occurs when several of thefollowing are on, such as: headlamps, high beams, foglamps, rear window defogger, climate control fan athigh speed, heated seats, engine cooling fans, trailerloads, and loads plugged into accessory power outlets.
EPM works to prevent excessive discharge of thebattery. It does this by balancing the generator’s outputand the vehicle’s electrical needs. It can increase
engine idle speed to generate more power, wheneverneeded. It can temporarily reduce the power demands ofsome accessories.
Normally, these actions occur in steps or levels, withoutbeing noticeable. In rare cases at the highest levelsof corrective action, this action may be noticeable to thedriver. If so, a Driver Information Center (DIC)message might be displayed, such as BATTERYSAVER ACTIVE, BATTERY VOLTAGE LOW, orLOW BATTERY. If this message is displayed, it isrecommended that the driver reduce the electrical loadsas much as possible. SeeDIC Warnings and Messageson page 4-67.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s batteryagainst drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,glove box lamp, or the garage door opener. When theignition is turned off, the power to these features willautomatically turn off after 10 minutes. Power willbe restored for an additional 10 minutes if any door ortrunk is opened, or the courtesy lamp switch isturned on.
