Universal Home Remote System
Operation (With Three Round LED)
Your vehicle may have the Universal Home
Remote System. If there are three round
Light Emitting Diode (LED) above the Universal
Home Remote System buttons, follow the
instructions below. If there is one triangular LED
above the Universal Home Remote System
buttons, follow the instructions under Universal
Home Remote System Operation (with one
triangular LED).
This system provides a way to replace up to
three remote control transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door openers, security
systems, and home lighting.Do not use the this 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 the instructions completely before attempting
to program the transmitter. Because of the
steps involved, it may be helpful to have another
person available to assist you in programming
the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control
transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as,
for future programming. You only need the
original remote control transmitter for xed code
programming. It is also recommended that
upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle,
the programmed buttons should be erased for
security purposes. See “Erasing your Universal
Home Remote Buttons” later in this section.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of
the garage door or security device you are
programming. When programming a garage door,
it is advised to park outside of the garage.

Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
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 will ash 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 will come on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Erasing Universal Home Remote
Buttons
To erase programming from the three Universal
Home Remote buttons do the following:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons
until the indicator light begins to ash, after
20 seconds. Do not hold the two outside
buttons for longer than 30 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
The Universal Home Remote is now in the
train (learning) mode and can be programmed
at any time beginning with Step 2 under
“Programming Universal Home Remote” shown
earlier in this section.
Individual buttons cannot be erased, but they
can be reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a
Single Universal Home Remote Button” following
this section.

Time Elapsed
Press the information button until TIME
ELAPSED :00 displays. This mode is like a
stopwatch, in that you can clock the time it takes
to get from one point to another. Each of the
elds for the hours, minutes, and seconds are
two numeric digits.
Once TIME ELAPSED :00 is displayed, press the
set/reset button to start the timing feature.
Press the set/reset button again to stop it. If you
will be starting and stopping your vehicle, during a
trip for instance, the TIME ELAPSED feature
will automatically start timing where it left off when
you last stopped. To reset it, press and hold
the set/reset button for approximately 1.5 seconds.
The display will return to zero.
Average Speed
Press the information button until AVERAGE
SPEED displays. This mode shows the average
speed of the vehicle in miles per hour (mph)
or kilometers per hour (km/h). This average is
calculated based on the various vehicle speed
recorded since the last reset of this value. To reset
the value, press the information button to display
AVERAGE SPEED, then press and hold the
set/reset button. The display will return to zero.
Fuel Range
Press the information button until FUEL RANGE
displays. This mode shows the approximate
number of remaining miles or kilometers the
vehicle can be driven without refueling.
Fuel range is based on several factors, including
distance travelled, fuel used, fuel capacity,
etc. This estimate will change if driving conditions
change. For example, if driving in traffic and
making frequent stops, this mode may read
one number, but if the vehicle is driven on a
freeway, the number may change even though the
same amount of fuel is in the fuel tank. This is
because different driving conditions produce
different fuel economies. Generally, freeway
driving produces better fuel economy than city
driving. Fuel range cannot be reset.
If your vehicle is low on fuel, FUEL RANGE LOW
will display followed by the LOW FUEL message.
See “LOW FUEL” underDIC Warnings and
Messages on page 241for more information.

ProCarManuals.com

Average Fuel Economy
Press the information button until AVG ECONOMY
displays. This mode shows the approximate
average miles per gallon (mpg) or liters per
100 kilometers (L/100 km). This number is
calculated based on the number of mpg (L/100 km)
recorded since the last time this menu item was
reset. To reset AVG ECONOMY, press and hold
the set/reset button. The display will return to zero.
Battery
Press the information button until BATTERY
displays. This mode shows the current battery
voltage.
Your vehicle’s charging system regulates voltage
based on the state of the battery. The battery
voltage may uctuate when viewing this
information on the DIC. This is normal.
If there is a problem with the battery charging
system, a DIC message will display. See
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 241for
more information.
Oil Life
Press the information button until OIL LIFE
displays. This mode shows an estimate of the oil’s
remaining useful life. If you see OIL LIFE 99%
on the display, that means 99% of the current oil
life remains. The engine oil life system will
alert you to change your oil on a schedule
consistent with your driving conditions.
When the remaining oil life is low, the CHANGE
OIL SOON message will appear on the display.
You should change your oil as soon as possible.
SeeEngine Oil on page 423. In addition to the
engine oil life system monitoring the oil life,
additional maintenance is recommended in the
Maintenance Schedule in this manual. See
Scheduled Maintenance on page 522for more
information.
Remember, you must reset the OIL LIFE yourself
after each oil change. It will not reset itself.
Also, be careful not to reset the OIL LIFE
accidentally at any time other than when the oil
has just been changed. It cannot be reset
accurately until the next oil change. To reset the
engine oil life system, seeEngine Oil Life
System on page 426. The display will show 100%
when the system is reset.
