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 quick and
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

INSTRUMENTS AND CONTROLS 137
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
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.
Repeat the process for programming
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 gate operators and
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 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.
Universal Remote System
Operation
Using the Universal Remote
System
Press and hold the appropriate
Universal Remote system button for at
least one-half second. The indicator
light will come on while the signal is
being transmitted.

extended attention to infotainment
tasks while driving. Limit your
glances at the vehicle displays and
focus your attention on driving. Use
voice commands whenever possible.
The infotainment system has built-in
features intended to help avoid
distraction by disabling some features
when driving. These features may gray
out when they are unavailable. Many
