CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2010 2.G Owners Manual

Example of Eight Dip Switches with Three PositionsThe panel of switches might not appear exactly as
they do in the examples above, but they should be
similar.
The switch positions on the hand-held transmitter
could be labeled, as follows:
.A switch in the up position could be labeled as
“Up,” “+,” or“On.”
.A switch in the down position could be labeled
as “Down,” “−,” or“Off.”
.A switch in the middle position could be labeled
as “Middle,” “0,” or“Neutral.” 2. Write down the eight to 12 switch settings from left
to right as follows:
.When a switch is in the up position, write “Left.”
.When a switch is in the down position, write
“Right.”
.If a switch is set between the up and down
position, write“Middle.”
The switch settings written down in Step 2 now
become the button strokes to be entered into
the Universal Home Remote in Step 4. Be sure
to enter the switch settings written down in
Step 2, in order from left to right, into the
Universal Home Remote, when completing
Step 4.
3. From inside your vehicle, first firmly press all three buttons at the same time for about three seconds.
Release the buttons to put the Universal Home
Remote into programming mode.

each switch setting as follows:
.If you wrote “Left,”press the left button in the
vehicle.
.If you wrote “Right,”press the right button in
the vehicle.
.If you wrote “Middle,”press the middle button in
the vehicle. 5. After entering all of the switch positions, again,
firmly press and release all three buttons at the
same time. The indicator lights will turn on.
6. Press and hold the button that will be used to control the garage door until the garage door
moves. The indicator light above the selected
button should slowly blink. This button may need to
be held for up to 55 seconds.
7. Immediately release the button when the garage door moves. The indicator light will blink rapidly
until programming is complete.
8. Press and release the same button again. The garage door should move, confirming that
programming is successful and complete.
To program another Fixed Code device such as an
additional garage door opener, a security device,
or home automation device, repeat Steps 1-8, choosing
a different button in Step 6 than what was used for the
garage door opener.

3-76

Roof Rack System
{WARNING:
If something is carried on top of the vehicle that is
longer or wider than the roof rack—like paneling,
plywood, or a mattress— the wind can catch it
while the vehicle is being driven. The item being
carried could be violently torn off, and this could
cause a collision, and damage the vehicle. Never
carry something longer or wider than the roof rack
on top of the vehicle unless using a GM Certified
accessory carrier. For vehicles with a roof rack, the rack can be used to
load items. For roof racks that do not have crossrails
included, GM Certified crossrails can be purchased as
an accessory. See your dealer for additional
information.
Notice:
Loading cargo on the roof rack that weighs
more than 91 kg (200 lbs) or hangs over the rear or
sides of the vehicle may damage the vehicle. Load
cargo so that it rests evenly between the crossrails,
making sure to fasten cargo securely.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo when driving, check
to make sure crossrails and cargo are securely
fastened. Loading cargo on the roof rack will make the
vehicle’s center of gravity higher. Avoid high speeds,
sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt
maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control.
If driving for a long distance, on rough roads, or at high
speeds, occasionally stop the vehicle to make sure the
cargo remains in its place.
3-77

Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity when
loading the vehicle. For more information on vehicle
capacity and loading, seeLoading the Vehicle
on
page 5‑29.
.If small heavy objects are placed on the roof, cut a
piece of 3/8 inch plywood to fit inside the crossrails
and siderails to spread the load. Tie the plywood to
the siderail supports.
.Tie the load and secure it to the crossrails or the
siderail supports. Use the crossrails only to keep
the load from sliding. To move a crossrail, lift the
release lever up, on both sides of the rail. Then
slide the crossrail to the desired position balancing
the force side to side. Press the release lever
down on both sides of the rail, down to tighten it.
Try to slide the crossrail back and forth slightly to
make sure it is tight.
.To carry long items, move the crossrails as far
apart as possible. Tie the load to the crossrails and
the siderails or siderail supports. Also tie the load
to the bumpers, but do not tie the load so tightly
that the crossrails or siderails are damaged.
.After moving a crossrail, be sure it is securely
locked into the siderail.
A Center High-Mounted Stoplamp (CHMSL) is located
above the rear window glass.
Make sure items loaded on the roof of the vehicle do
not block or damage the CHMSL.
Rear Seat Armrest
Vehicles with a rear seat armrest have two cupholders.
Pull the armrest down from the rear seatback to access
the cupholders.
Sunroof
On vehicles with a power sliding sunroof, the ignition
needs to be turned to RUN, or the Retained Accessory
Power (RAP) must be activated to open or close the
sunroof. When RAP is active, the sunroof will work for
10 minutes after the ignition is turned off, or until the
driver's door is opened. See Retained Accessory Power
(RAP)
on page 3‑23for more information.
Do not leave the sunroof open for long periods of time
while the vehicle is not in use. Debris can collect in the
tracks and damage the sunroof operation and plug the
water draining system.

front of the driver's side switch. The sunroof will close
automatically. To stop the sunroof partway, press the
switch a second time.
The sunroof also has a sunshade which you can pull
forward to block sun rays. The sunshade must be
opened and closed manually. Anti-Pinch Feature (Crew Cab Only):
If an object is in
the path of the sunroof while it is closing, the anti-pinch
feature will detect the object and stop the sunroof from
closing at the point of the obstruction. The sunroof will
then open halfway, and the air deflector will raise. To
close the sunroof once it has re-opened, refer to the
Express-Close or Manual-Close functions described
previously. If the sunroof is in the vent position, and
there is an object in the path of the sunroof when it
closing, the anti-pinch feature will detect the object and
stop the sunroof. To close the sunroof once it has
stopped, refer to the Vent functions described
previously.
Do not leave the sunroof open for long periods of time
while the vehicle is not in use. Debris can collect in the
tracks and damage the sunroof operation and plug the
water draining system.
