Programming Universal Home
Remote — Fixed Code
Most garage door openers sold before 1996 are
Fixed Code units.
Programming a garage door opener involves
time-sensitive actions, so read the entire procedure
before you begin. If you do not follow these
actions, the device will time out and you will have
to repeat the procedure.Follow these steps to program up to three devices:
1. To verify if you have a Fixed Code garage
door opener, remove the battery cover on
your hand held transmitter supplied by
the manufacturer of your garage door opener
motor. If you see a row of dip switches
similar to the graphic above, you have a Fixed
Code garage door opener. If you do not see
a row of dip switches, return to the previous
section for Programming Universal Home
Remote – Rolling Code.
192

Your panel of switches may not appear
exactly as they do in the examples above, but
they should be similar.
The switch positions on your hand-held
transmitter may be labeled, as follows:
A switch in the up position may be labeled
as “Up,” “+,” or “On.”
A switch in the down position may be
labeled as “Down,” “−,” or “Off.”
A switch in the middle position may 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 that you wrote down in
Step 2 will now become the button
strokes you enter into the Universal Home
Remote in Step 4. Be sure to enter the
switch settings that you wrote down in
Step 2, in order from left to right, into the
Universal Home Remote, when completing
Step 4.
3. From inside your vehicle, rst rmly press
all three buttons at the same time for about
three seconds. Release the buttons to put the
Universal Home Remote into
programming mode.4. The indicator lights will blink slowly. Enter each
switch setting from Step 2 into your vehicle’s
Universal Home Remote. You will have
two and one-half minutes to complete Step 4.
Now press one button on the Universal Home
Remote for 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,
rmly press and release all three buttons at the
same time. The indicator lights will turn on.
6. Press and hold the button you would like to
use to control the garage door until the
garage door moves. The indicator light above
the selected button should slowly blink.
You may need to hold the button from
ve 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, conrming
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 you
used for the garage door opener.
Using Universal Home Remote
Press and hold the appropriate button for at least
half of a second. The indicator light will come
on while the signal is being transmitted.
Reprogramming Universal Home
Remote Buttons
You can reprogram any of the three buttons by
repeating the instructions.
Erasing Universal Home Remote
Buttons
You should erase the programmed buttons when
you sell or terminate your lease.
To erase either Rolling Code or Fixed Code on
the Universal Home Remote device, do the
following:
1. Press and hold the two outside buttons at the
same time for approximately 20 seconds, until
the indicator lights, located directly above
the buttons, begin to blink rapidly.
2. Once the indicator lights begin to blink,
release both buttons. The codes from all
buttons will be erased.

Luggage Carrier
The vehicle may have a luggage carrier that can
be used to load things on top of the vehicle.
The luggage carrier has siderails attached to the
roof. It may also have crossrails which can be
moved back and forth to help secure cargo. Tie the
load to the siderails or siderail supports.
Notice:Loading cargo on the luggage carrier
that weighs more than 200 lbs (91 kg) or
hangs over the rear or sides of the vehicle
may damage your vehicle. Load cargo so that
it rests on the slats as far forward as
possible and against the side rails, making
sure to fasten it securely.
Do not exceed the maximum vehicle capacity
when loading your vehicle. For more information
on vehicle capacity and loading, seeLoading Your
Vehicle on page 425.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while you are
driving, check to make sure the luggage and
cargo are still securely fastened.Be sure the cargo is properly loaded.If small heavy objects are placed on the roof,
cut a piece of 3/8 inch plywood to t inside
the crossrails and siderails to spread the load.
Tie the plywood to the siderail supports.
Tie the load 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, on both sides of the rail, up to
loosen it. Slide the crossrail to the desired
position balancing the force side to side. Press
the release lever on both sides of the rail, down
to tighten it. Try to slide the crossrail back and
forth slightly to be sure it is tight.
If you need to carry long items, move the
crossrails as far apart as they will go. Tie the
load to the crossrails and the siderails or
siderail supports. Also tie the load to the
bumpers. 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.
198

Your vehicle has a Center High-Mounted Stoplamp
(CHMSL) located above the rear glass.
If items are loaded on the roof of the vehicle, care
should be taken not to block or damage the
CHMSL unit.
Rear Seat Armrest
Your vehicle may have a rear seat armrest that
contains two cupholders. To access the
cupholders, pull the armrest down from the rear
seatback.
Cargo Management System
Your vehicle may have a cargo management
system. It is located in the bed of the truck. The
system contains three rails located on the front and
sides of the bed.
The system will include four adjustable cargo
tie-downs. The tie-downs can be placed on the
upper and lower slides of the rail.To adjust a tie-down, pull the locator pin out and
move the tie-down to another location making sure
the locator pin lines up with a locator hole on
the rail. If the locator pin does not line up with the
locator hole, the tie-down may be installed
incorrectly. Turn it over and reinstall. Once the pin
is inside the hole, the tie-down will not move
side to side. The maximum load for each rail is
500 lbs (227 kg).
199

The rails are notched at each end which allows
the tie-downs to be removed and placed on
another rail. To remove, pull the locator pin out
and slide the tie-down to the end of the rail
and pull back.
To remove or install cargo tie-downs at the front of
the bed, slide the corner cap towards the center of
the bed to expose the rail notches. To remove the
corner cap, pull either edge away from the rail.
To remove the system, loosen the toggle bolts
on each rail until they can be removed from the
bed of the truck. To replace the system, place the
toggle bolts and rails into their original locations
and tighten them to a torque setting of
12.5 ft-lbs (17
Y).
If the system is removed to install a bed liner,
make sure there is no bed liner material in
the installation points.
Notice:If you tie down cargo using the
horizontal slots on the top of the pickup box,
you may damage the box. Using the horizontal
slots on the top of the pickup box for tie-down
locations may cause damage to the pickup box
and would not be covered by your warranty.
Only use the tie-down loops if you do not have
the cargo management system.
Sunroof
If your vehicle has 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. SeeRetained Accessory
