ENGINE POWER IS
REDUCED
This message displays when
the vehicle's propulsion power
is reduced. A reduction in
propulsion power can affect
the vehicle's ability to
accelerate. If this message is
on, but there is no observed
reduction in performance,
proceed to your destination.
Under certain conditions the
performance may be reduced
the next time the vehicle is
driven. The vehicle may be
driven while this message is
on, but maximum acceleration
and speed may be reduced.
Anytime this message stays
on, or displays repeatedly, the
vehicle should be taken to
your dealer for service as

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.
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 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.

IntelliBeam System
If equipped, this system turns
the vehicle's high-beam
headlamps on and off
according to surrounding
traffic conditions.
The system turns the
high-beam headlamps on when
it is dark enough and there is
no other traffic present.
This light
bcomes on in the
instrument cluster when the
IntelliBeam system is enabled. 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
2position.
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.
