When programming a garage door,
park outside of the garage. Park
directly in line with and facing
the garage door opener motor-head
or gate motor-head. Be sure that
people and objects are clear of
the garage door or gate you are
programming.
It is recommended that a new
battery be installed in the hand-held
transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.
Programming the Universal
Home Remote System
If you have questions or need help
programming the Universal
Home Remote System, call
1-800-355-3515 or go to
www.homelink.com.
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 times out and you
have to repeat the procedure.To program up to three devices:
1. From inside the vehicle, press
and hold down the two outside
buttons at the same time,
releasing only when the Universal
Home Remote indicator light
begins to ash, after 20 seconds.
This step erases the factory
settings or all previously
programmed buttons.
Do not hold down the buttons for
longer than 30 seconds and
do not repeat this step to
program the remaining two
Universal Home Remote buttons.2. Hold the end of the hand-held
transmitter about 1 to 3 inches
(3 to 8 cm) away from the
Universal Home Remote buttons
while keeping the indicator
light in view. The hand-held
transmitter was supplied by the
manufacturer of the garage
door opener receiver (motor
head unit).
3. At the same time, press and hold
both the Universal Home Remote
button that you would like to
use to control the garage door
and the hand-held transmitter
button. Do not release the
Universal Home Remote button
or the hand-held transmitter
button until Step 4 has been
completed.
Some entry gates and garage
door openers may require you to
substitute Step 3 with the
procedure noted in “Gate
Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this
section.

4. The indicator light on the
Universal Home Remote ashes
slowly at rst and then rapidly
after Universal Home Remote
successfully receives the
frequency signal from the
hand-held transmitter. Release
both buttons.
5. Press and hold the newly-trained
Universal Home Remote button
and observe the indicator light.
If the indicator light stays on
continuously, the programming
is complete and the garage
door should move when
the Universal Home Remote
button is pressed and released.
You do not need to continue
the programming Steps 6
through 8 and can stop here.
If the Universal Home Remote
indicator light blinks rapidly
for two seconds and then
turns to a constant light,
continue with the programming
Steps 6 through 8.It may be helpful to have another
person available to assist with
the remaining steps.
6. After Steps 1 through 5 have
been completed, locate inside
the garage the garage door
opener receiver (motor-head
unit). Locate the “Learn” or
“Smart” button. The name and
color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.
7. Firmly press and release the
“Learn” or “Smart” button.
After you press this button,
you have 30 seconds to
complete Step 8.8. Immediately return to the vehicle.
Firmly press and hold the
Universal Home Remote button,
chosen in Step 3 to control
the garage door, for two seconds,
and then release it. If the
garage door does not move,
press and hold the same button
a second time for two seconds,
and then release it. Again, if
the door does not move, press
and hold the same button a
third time for two seconds, and
then release.
The Universal Home Remote
should now activate the
garage door.
To program the remaining two
Universal Home Remote buttons,
begin with Step 2 of “Programming
the Universal Home Remote
System.” Do not repeat Step 1,
as this erases all previous
programming from the Universal
Home Remote buttons.

Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
If you have questions or need help
programming the Universal
Home Remote System, call
1-800-355-3515 or go to
www.homelink.com.
Canadian radio-frequency laws
require transmitter signals to time
out or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be
long enough for Universal Home
Remote to pick up the signal
during programming. Similarly,
some U.S. gate operators are
manufactured to time out in the
same manner.
If you live in Canada, or you are
having difficulty programming a gate
operator or garage door opener
by using the “Programming
Universal Home Remote”procedures, regardless of where
you live, replace Step 3 under
“Programming Universal Home
Remote” with the following:
Continue to press and hold the
Universal Home Remote button
while you press and release every
two seconds (cycle) the hand-held
transmitter button until the frequency
signal has been successfully
accepted by the Universal Home
Remote. The Universal Home
Remote indicator light ashes slowly
at rst and then rapidly. Proceed
with Step 4 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” to
complete.
Using Universal Home Remote
Press and hold the appropriate
Universal Home Remote button
for at least half of a second.
The indicator light comes on while
the signal is being transmitted.
Erasing Universal Home
Remote Buttons
Erase the programmed buttons when
you sell or terminate your lease.
To erase all programmed buttons on
the Universal Home Remote device:
1. Press and hold down the
two outside buttons until the
indicator light begins to ash,
after 20 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.

A headlamp reminder chime will
sound if the following conditions
are met:
The driver door is open.
Parking lamps or headlamps are
manually turned on.
The key is either not in the
ignition switch, or it is in the
LOCK/OFF position of the ignition
switch.
The headlamp reminder cannot be
turned off if the conditions listed
above are met.
In the automatic mode, the
headlamps turn off once the ignition
is in ACC/ACCESSORY.
Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see
the front of your vehicle during the
day. Fully functional daytime
running lamps are required on all
vehicles rst sold in Canada.
The DRL system will come on when
the following conditions are met:
The ignition is on.
The exterior lamps control is
in AUTO.
The transmission is not in
P (Park), if the vehicle has
an automatic transmission.
The light sensor determines it is
daytime.When the DRL are on, no other
lamps are on. The instrument panel
will not be lit up either. For
vehicles rst sold in Canada, if
parking lamps are manually turned
on, DRL will stay on.
When it begins to get dark, the
automatic headlamp system will
switch from DRL to the headlamps.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
To turn off the DRL, seeExterior
Lamps on page 3-11.
Vehicles rst sold in Canada cannot
turn off DRL unless certain
conditions are met. SeeExterior

Instrument Panel 3-13

Automatic Headlamp
System
When it is dark enough outside,
the automatic headlamp system
will turn on after the transmission
has been shifted from P (Park) to
D (Drive). The headlamps, taillamps,
sidemarker, parking lamps, roof
marker lamps, and the instrument
panel lights turn on at normal
brightness. The radio lights will
become dimmer when the
headlights are off compared to
when the headlights are on.
The vehicle has a light sensor
located on the top of the instrument
panel. Do not cover the sensor,
or the system will be on whenever
the ignition is on.
The system can turn on the
headlamps when driving in a parking
garage, through a tunnel or when
there is overcast weather. This
is normal.There is a delay in the transition
between the daytime and nighttime
operation of the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) and the automatic
headlamp system so that driving
under bridges or bright overhead
street lights does not affect the
system. The DRL and automatic
headlamp system will only be
affected when the light sensor
detects a change in lighting lasting
longer than the delay.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system will come on immediately.
Once the vehicle leaves the garage,
it will take about one minute for
the automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light
outside. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster may not be
as bright as usual. Make sure the
instrument panel brightness
control is in the full bright position.
SeeInstrument Panel Brightness on
page 3-15.
Off-Road Lamps
The off-road lamps, if the vehicle
has them, provide auxiliary lighting
when the vehicle is used off
road. These lamps are not intended
to be used in place of existing
vehicle lighting. The lamps are not
to be used on any public street
or highway and are to be covered
when not in use. Check your
state and local laws before installing
or using any auxiliary lighting. In
some states it may be necessary to
remove the roof lamps when
operating the vehicle on the
highway.
