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 expired and all
services have been deactivated.
Press the OnStar button to confirm
that the OnStar equipment is active.Universal Remote

Universal Remote
System Programming
If there is one square Light Emitting
Diode (LED) indicator light next to
the Universal Home Remote buttons,
follow the instructions below.This system provides a way to
replace up to three remote control
transmitters used to activate devices
such as garage door openers,
security systems, and home
automation devices.
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
with 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.
Instruments and Controls 4-45
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. Hold the end of your hand-held
transmitter about 3 to 8 cm
(1 to 3 inches) 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).2. At the same time, press and hold
both the hand-held transmitter
button and one of the three
Universal Home Remote buttons
to be used to operate the
garage door. Do not release
the Universal Home Remote
button or the hand-held
transmitter button until the
indicator light changes from
a slow to a rapidly flashing
light. You now may release
both buttons.
Some entry gates and garage
door openers may require
substitution of Step 2 with
the procedure noted in “Gate
Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this
section.

3. Press and hold for five seconds
the newly-trained Universal
Home Remote button (selected
button from Step 2) while
observing the indicator light
and garage door activation.
•If the indicator light stays on
continuously or the garage
door starts to move when
the Universal Home
Remote button is pressed
and released, then the
programming is complete.
There is no need to continue
programming Steps 4
through 6.
•If the Universal Home Remote
indicator light blinks rapidly
for two seconds, then turns to
a constant light and the garage
door does not move, continue
with the programming Steps 4
through 6.
It may be helpful to have
another person to assist
with the remaining Steps 4
through 6.4. After Steps 1 through 3 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.
5. Firmly press and release the
“Learn” or “Smart” button.
After you press this button,
you will have 30 seconds
to complete Step 6.6. Immediately return to the vehicle.
Firmly press and hold for
two seconds the Universal Home
Remote button, selected in
Step 2 to control the garage door,
and then release it. If the garage
door does not move or the garage
door lamp does not flash, press
and hold the same button a
second time for two seconds, and
then release it. Again, if the door
does not move or the garage door
lamp does not flash, 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, begin with Step 1 of
“Programming the Universal
Home Remote System”.

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 2 under
“Programming Universal Home
Remote” with the following:
2. 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 will flash
slowly at first and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step 3 under
“Programming Universal Home
Remote” to complete.
Universal Remote
System Operation
Using Universal Home Remote
Press and hold the appropriate
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
All 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
flash, after 10 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
