Universal Remote System

If the vehicle has this feature, you
will see these buttons with one
LED indicator next to them in the
overhead console. 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 Remote
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 Universal Remote system.
Because of the steps involved, it
may be helpful to have another
person available to assist with
programming the Universal
Remote system.

.Long Flashing Green –Vehicle
is plugged in. Battery is not fully
charged. Battery charging is
delayed.
.Short Flashing Green –Vehicle
