Universal Remote System
Programming
If equipped, these buttons are in the
overhead console.
This system can replace up to three
remote control transmitters used to
activate devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and home
automation devices. These
instructions refer to a garage door
opener, but can be used for other
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 these instructions completely
before programming the Universal
Remote system. It may help to have
another person assist with the
programming process.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other vehicles
as well as for future programming.
Erase the programming when vehicle
ownership is terminated. See“Erasing
Universal Remote System Buttons”
later in this section.
To program a garage door opener,
park outside directly in line with and
facing the garage door opener receiver.
Clear all people and objects near the
garage door.
Make sure the hand-held transmitter
has a new battery for quicker and
more accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.Programming the Universal
Remote System
For questions or programming help,
see www.homelink.com/gm or call
1-800-355-3515. For calls placed
outside the U.S., Canada, or Puerto
Rico, international rates will apply and
may differ based on landline or mobile
phone.
Programming involves time-sensitive
actions, and may time out causing the
procedure to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter about 3 to 8 cm (1 to
3 in) away from the Universal
Remote system buttons with the
indicator light in view. The
hand-held transmitter was supplied
by the manufacturer of the garage
door opener receiver.
2. Press and release one of the three Universal Remote system buttons
to be programmed. Press and hold
the hand-held transmitter button.
Do not release the hand-held
transmitter button until the
indicator light changes from a slow to a rapid flash or continuous light.
Then release the hand-held
transmitter button.
Some garage door openers may
require substitution of Step 2 with
the procedure under
“Radio Signals
for Some Gate Operators ”later in
this section.
3. Press and hold the newly programmed Universal Remote
system button for five seconds
while watching the indicator light
and garage door activation.
.If the indicator light stays on
continuously or the garage door
moves when the button is
pressed, then programming is
complete. There is no need to
complete Steps 4–6.
.If the indicator light does not
come on or the garage door does
not move, a second button press
may be required. For a second
time, press and hold the newly
programmed button for
five seconds. If the indicator
light is continuously lit, or the
garage door moves,
programming is complete.

.If the indicator light flashes
rapidly and the garage door does
not move, continue with
programming Steps 4–6.
Learn or Smart Button
4. After completing Steps 1–3, locate the Learn or Smart button inside
the garage on the garage door
opener receiver. The name and
color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.
5. Press and release the Learn or Smart button. Step 6 must be
completed within 30 seconds of
pressing this button.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the trained
Universal Remote system button
for two seconds and release. Repeat the
“press/hold/release ”sequence
up to three times to complete the
training process.
The Universal Remote system should
now activate the garage door.

the two remaining buttons.
Radio Signals for Some Gate
Operators
For questions or programming help,
see www.homelink.com/gm or call
1-800-355-3515. For calls placed
outside the U.S., Canada, or Puerto
Rico, international rates will apply and
may differ based on landline or mobile
phone.
Some radio-frequency laws and gate
operators require transmitter signals
to time out or quit after several
seconds of transmission. This may not
be long enough for the Universal
Remote system to pick up the signal
during programming.
If the programming did not work,
replace Step 2 under “Programming
the Universal Remote System ”with
the following: Press and hold the Universal Remote
system button while pressing and
releasing the hand-held transmitter
button every two seconds until the
signal has been successfully accepted
by the Universal Remote system. The
Universal Remote system indicator
light will flash slowly at first and then
change to a rapid flash or continuous
solid-light. Proceed with Step 3 under
“Programming the Universal Remote
System
”to complete.

Turning On and Enabling IntelliBeam
To enable the IntelliBeam system,
press the button on the end of the
turn signal lever when the exterior
lamp control is in the AUTO or
2
position.
Driving with IntelliBeam
The system only activates the high
beams when driving over 40 km/h
(25 mph).
The blue high-beam on light appears
on the instrument cluster when the
high beams are on.
There is a sensor near the top center
of the windshield that automatically
controls the system. Keep this area of
the windshield clear of debris to allow
for best system performance.The high-beam headlamps remain on,
under the automatic control, until one
of the following situations occurs:
.The system detects an approaching
vehicle's headlamps.
.The system detects a preceding
vehicle's taillamps.
.The outside light is bright enough
that high-beam headlamps are not
required.
.The vehicle's speed drops below
20 km/h (12 mph).
.The IntelliBeam system is disabled
by the button on the turn signal
lever. If this happens, press the
button on the end of the turn signal
lever when the exterior lamp
control is in the AUTO or
2
position to reactivate the
IntelliBeam system. The instrument
cluster light will come on to
indicate the IntelliBeam is
reactivated.
The high beams may not turn off
automatically if the system cannot
detect another vehicle's lamps because
of any of the following:
.The other vehicle's lamps are
missing, damaged, obstructed from
view, or otherwise undetected.
.The other vehicle's lamps are
covered with dirt, snow, and/or road
spray.
.The other vehicle's lamps cannot be
detected due to dense exhaust,
smoke, fog, snow, road spray, mist,
or other airborne obstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is dirty,
cracked, or obstructed by something
that blocks the view of the light
sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such that the
front end points upward, causing
the light sensor to aim high and not
detect headlamps and taillamps.
.The vehicle is being driven on
winding or hilly roads.
The automatic high-beam headlamps
may need to be disabled if any of the
above conditions exist.
