Universal Remote System
Programming
On vehicles with this feature there
are three round Light Emitting
Diode (LED) indicator lights above
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 this system 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
transmitter. Because of the steps
involved, it may be helpful to
have another person assist with
programming the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original
remote control transmitter for
use in other vehicles, as well as,
for future programming. Only the
original remote control transmitter
is needed for Fixed Code
programming. The programmed
buttons should be erased when the
vehicle is sold or the lease ends.
See
“Erasing Universal Home
Remote Buttons” in this section.

4. Immediately return to thevehicle. Press and hold the
Universal Home Remote button
that will be used to control the
garage door until the garage
door moves. The indicator light,
above the selected button,
should slowly blink. This button
may need to be held for up to
20 seconds.
5. Immediately, within one second, release the button when
the garage door moves.
The indicator light blinks rapidly
until programming is complete.
6. Press and release the same button again. The garage door
should move, confirming that
programming is successful and
complete. To program another Rolling Code
device such as an additional garage
door opener, a security device,
or home automation device, repeat
Steps 1-6, choosing a different
function button in Step 4 than
what was used for the garage
door opener.
If these instructions do not work,
the garage door opener is probably
a Fixed Code unit. Follow the
Programming instructions that follow
for a Fixed Code garage door
opener.
Programming Universal Home
Remote
—Fixed Code
For questions or help programming
the Universal Home Remote
System, call 1-866-572-2728
or go to learcar2u.com. Most garage door openers sold
before 1996 are Fixed Code units.
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. Press START or put the vehicle
in accessory mode. See Ignition
Positions on page 9‑20 for
additional information.
Programming can only occur
