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 yourhand-held transmitter about
3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) 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 slowly 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 (the button selected in 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 assist with
the remaining Steps 4
through 6.

“Learn”or“Smart” Buttons
4. After Steps 1 through 3 have been completed, locate the
“Learn” or“Smart” button inside
the garage on the garage door
opener receiver (motor-head
unit). 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 lamp on the garage door
opener receiver (motor-head
unit) 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 the 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.

Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running
lamps are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so be sure it is not covered.
The DRL system makes the
low‐beam headlamps come on at a
reduced brightness or for vehicles
with High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlamps, the DRL lights will come
on when the following conditions
are met:
.The ignition is in the
ON/RUN mode.
.The exterior lamps control is
in AUTO.
.The engine is running.When the DRL are on, only the
low‐beam headlamps, at a reduced
level of brightness, will be on.
The high‐beam headlamps,
taillamps, sidemarker, instrument
panel and other lamps will not
be on.
The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings.
The other lamps that come on with
the headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps go off and the DRL
come on.
To turn the DRL lamps off or on
again, turn the exterior lamps
control to the off position and then
release. For vehicles first sold in
Canada, the DRL lamps cannot be
turned off.
Adaptive Forward
Lighting (AFL)
For vehicles with Xenon
headlamps, the Adaptive Forward
Lighting System (AFL) adjusts
the headlamps to provide greater
road illumination in various driving
conditions.
To enable AFL, set the exterior
lamp control to the AUTO position.
Moving the control out of the AUTO
position will deactivate the system.
AFL will operate when the vehicle
speed is greater than 3 km/h
(2 mph). AFL will not operate when
the transmission is in R (Reverse).
AFL is not immediately operable
after starting the vehicle; driving
a short distance is required to
calibrate the AFL. See
Exterior
Lamp Controls on page 6‑1.

Black plate (4,1)Cadillac SRX Owner Manual - 2011
6-4 Lighting
Curve Lighting
The Xenon light beam pivots based
on the steering wheel position and
vehicle speed of at least 10 km/h
(6 mph). The headlamps shine at
an angle of up to 15 degrees to the
right or left of the direction of travel.
Highway Lighting
If the vehicle is traveling straight
continuously at high speeds, the
light beam automatically raises
slightly to increase the headlamp
range.
City Lighting
If the vehicle speed is less than
50 km/h (31 mph), the headlamp
range is automatically reduced.Twilight Sentinel
This feature automatically turns the
lamps on and off. A light sensor on
top of the instrument panel makes
the Twilight Sentinel
®work, so be
sure it is not covered.
With Twilight Sentinel the following
will happen:
.When it is dark enough outside,
and the exterior lamps control
is in the AUTO position, the
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
go off, and the headlamps and
parking lamps come on. The
other lamps that come on with
the headlamps also come on.
.When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps go off, and the
DRL come on, as long as the
exterior lamp switch is in the
AUTO position. See Exterior
Lamp Controls on page 6‑1. If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately.
If it is light outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there is a
slight delay before the automatic
headlamp system changes to
the DRL. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster may not
be as bright as usual. Make sure
the instrument panel brightness
control is in full bright position.
See
Instrument Panel Illumination
Control on page 6‑6 for more
information.
The vehicle can be idled with the
lamps off, even when it is dark
outside. After starting the vehicle,
turn the exterior lamp control to off,
then release it. The lamps will
remain off until the control is turned
to off again.
