Programming Universal Home Remote
Follow these steps to program up to three
channels:
1. Press and hold down the two outside
Universal Home Remote buttons, releasing
only when the Universal Home Remote
indicator light begins to ash, after
20 seconds. Do not hold down the buttons for
longer than 30 seconds and do not repeat
this step to program a second and/or
third hand-held transmitter to the remaining
two Universal Home Remote buttons.
2. Position the end of your 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.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both the
desired Universal Home Remote button
and the hand-held transmitter button. Do not
release the buttons 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 will ash 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,
programming is complete and your device
should activate when the Universal Home
Remote button is pressed and released.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 under
“Programming Universal Home Remote.”
Do not repeat Step 1 as this will erase all of
the programmed channels.
If the indicator light blinks rapidly for two
seconds and then turns to a constant light,
continue with Steps 6 through 8 following
to complete the programming of a rolling-code
equipped device, most commonly, a garage
door opener.

6. Locate in the garage, the garage door opener
receiver (motor-head unit). Locate the “Learn”
or “Smart” button. This can usually be
found where the hanging antenna wire is
attached to the motor-head unit.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or
“Smart” button. The name and color of
the button may vary by manufacturer.
You will have 30 seconds to start Step 8.
8. Return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold
the programmed Universal Home Remote
button for two seconds, then release it.
Immediately press and hold the same button
a second time for two seconds, then
release it. Immediately, press and hold the
same button a third time for two seconds,
then release.
The Universal Home Remote should now
activate your rolling-code equipped device.
To program the remaining two Universal Home
Remote buttons, begin with Step 2 of
“Programming Universal Home Remote.” You do
not want to repeat Step 1, as this will erase
all previous programming from the Universal Home
Remote buttons.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.
139

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 training
(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.
Reprogramming a Single Universal

{CAUTION:
Cruise control can be dangerous where
you cannot drive safely at a steady speed.
So, do not use your cruise control on
winding roads or in heavy traffic.
Cruise control can be dangerous on
slippery roads. On such roads, fast
changes in tire traction can cause
excessive wheel slip, and you could lose
control. Do not use cruise control on
slippery roads.
If your vehicle is in cruise control when the
Traction Control System (TCS), if your vehicle
has this feature, begins to limit wheel spin,
the cruise control will automatically disengage.
SeeTraction Control System (TCS) on page 294.
When road conditions allow you to safely use
it again, the cruise control can be turned back on.The cruise control
buttons are located on
left side of the
steering wheel.
T(On/Off):Press this button to turn cruise
control on and off. The indicator will be lit
when cruise control is on.
+ RES (Resume/Accelerate):Press this button
to make the vehicle accelerate or resume to
a previously set speed.
SET–:Press this button to set the speed or make
the vehicle decelerate.
[(Cancel):Press this button to cancel
cruise control.

You can also select modes by using the
following buttons:
h(Recirculate):Press this button to recirculate
cabin air through the vehicle. It can be used to
help reduce the outside air and odors that
enter your vehicle or to help heat or cool the air
inside your vehicle quicker. An indicator light below
the button will come on in this mode. Operation
in this mode during periods of high humidity
and cool outside temperatures may result in
increased window fogging. If window fogging is
experienced, select the defrost mode. To prevent
the air inside the vehicle from becoming stale,
after ve minutes recirculate will allow some
outside air into the vehicle.
#(Air Conditioning):Press this button to turn
the air conditioning system on or off. When
this button is pressed, an indicator light below the
button will come on to let you know the air
conditioning is activated. Air conditioning can be
selected in any mode as long as the fan switch is
on. The indicator light will change with each
button press even when conditions prevent
operation.On hot days during the vehicle’s initial start-up,
open the windows to let hot inside air escape; then
close them. This helps to reduce the time it
takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps
the system to operate more efficiently.
For quicker cool down on hot days, do the
following:
1. Select the vent air mode.
2. Select the recirculation mode.
3. Select the air conditioner.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a
small amount of water dripping underneath your
vehicle while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.
Using these settings together for long periods
of time may cause the air inside the vehicle to
become too dry. To prevent this, after ve minutes
recirculate will allow some outside air into
the vehicle.
170

This control has four types of operation.
Automatic can set/change the temperature
only. AUTO and temperature only will
appear on the display.
Semi-Automatic Fan can set/change the
temperature and mode. The fan operates
automatically. The temperature and mode will
appear on the display.

temperature and fan speed. The mode
operates automatically. The fan speed and
temperature will appear on the display.
Manual can set/change the temperature,
mode and fan. The fan speed, temperature,
and mode will appear on the display.
If your vehicle has the remote start feature, the
climate control system will automatically regulate
the inside temperature of your vehicle when
the remote start system is activated. Normal
operation and the last setting of the climate control
system will return after the key is turned on.

Driver Information Center (DIC)
Your vehicle may have a Driver Information
Center (DIC).
All messages will appear in the DIC display
located in the instrument panel cluster, below the
speedometer. The DIC buttons are located on
the center of the instrument panel, below
the center outlets.
The DIC comes on when the ignition is on. After a
short delay, the DIC on the uplevel vehicle will
display the WELCOME DRIVER (1 or 2) if apersonalized key 1 or 2 is used, and then the
information that was last displayed before
the engine was turned off.
The DIC on the base level vehicle displays the
odometer and trip odometers only.
The DIC on the uplevel vehicle displays the
odometer, trip odometers, fuel economy, trip
computer, vehicle system, and compass display
information. It also displays warning messages if a
system problem is detected. In addition, the DIC
on the uplevel vehicle displays phone numbers
that are called using the OnStar
®system, if
equipped. SeeOnStar®System on page 126.
The outside air temperature automatically appears
in the bottom right corner of the uplevel DIC
display when viewing the trip/odometer screens,
fuel screens and some of the gages screens. If the
outside air temperature is at or below 37°F
(3°C), the temperature reading will toggle between
displaying the outside temperature and the
word ICE for two minutes. If there is a problem
with the system that controls the temperature
display, the letters OC (open circuit) or SC (short
circuit) will appear on the display. If this occurs,
have the vehicle serviced by your dealer.
