4. Press and release the button again. The garage door should move,
confirming that programming is successful. If your garage door does not
operate, repeat the previous steps in this section.
After successful programming, you will be able to operate your Car2U
system by pressing the button you programmed to activate the opener.
The indicator light above the selected button will turn on to confirm that
the Car2Usystem is responding to the button command.
To program another rolling code device such as an additional garage door
opener, a security device or home lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 4
substituting a different function button in Step 3 than what you used for
the garage door opener. For example, you could assign the left-most
button to the garage door, the center button to a security device, and
the right-most button to another garage door opener.
Note:The Car2Usystem allows for three devices to be programmed. If
you need to change or replace any of the three devices after it has been
initially programmed, it is necessary to erase the current settings using
theErasing the Car2UHome Automation System buttonsprocedure
and then programming all of the devices being used.

being used.
To erase programming on the Car2Usystem (individual buttons cannot
be erased), use the following procedure:
1. Firmly press the two outside
Car2Usystem buttons
simultaneously for approximately
20 seconds until the indicator lights
begin to blink rapidly. The indicator
lights are located directly above the
buttons.
2. Once the indicator lights begin to

buttons. The codes for all buttons
are erased.
If you sell your vehicle equipped with the Car2Usystem, it is
