garage door BUICK LUCERNE 2007 Owner's Manual

OnStar®service that involves location information
about your vehicle cannot work unless GPS
satellite signals are unobstructed and available in
that place as well.
Your vehicle must have a working electrical
system (including adequate battery power) for the
OnStar
®equipment to operate. There are other
problems OnStar®cannot control that may prevent
OnStar®from providing OnStar®service to you
at any particular time or place. Some examples are
damage to important parts of your vehicle in an
accident, hills, tall buildings, tunnels, weather
or wireless phone network congestion.
Your Responsibility
You may need to increase the volume of your radio
to hear the OnStar®advisor. If the light next to the
OnStar®buttons is red, this means that your system
is not functioning properly and should be checked
by a dealer. If the light appears clear (no light is
appearing), your OnStar
®subscription has expired.
You can always press the OnStar®button to
conrm that your OnStar®equipment is active.

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.If you do not know if your garage door opener is a
xed code or rolling code device, open your garage
door opener’s remote control battery cover. Your
garage door opener is a xed code device if there is
a panel of switches. If not, your garage door opener
is a rolling code device.

Programming Universal Home
Remote — Fixed Code
Fixed Code garage door openers are used for
garage doors produced prior to 1996. Fixed code
uses the same coded signal every time, which
is manually programmed by setting DIP switches
for a unique personal code.
Follow these steps to program up to
three channels:
1. Remove the battery cover of the hand-held
transmitter.
2. Write down the eight to 12 coding switch
settings from left to right. When the switch
is in the up position, write “on,” and when a
switch is in the down position, write “off”.
If a switch is set between the up and down
position, write “middle”.
3. Enter these positions into the Universal Home
Remote System as follows.
Press and release all three buttons at the same
time to put the device into programming mode.
Example of Switch Settings

4. The indicator light will blink slowly. In
order from left to right, and within two
and one-half minutes, enter each switch
setting into the Universal Home Remote
System. Push one button for each switch
as follows:
Left button = “on” switch position.
Right button = “off” switch position.
Middle button = “middle” switch position.5. After entering the switch settings, 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 button again. The
garage door should move, conrming that
programming is successful and complete.
To program another device such as an additional
garage door opener, a security device, or home
lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 8, choosing a
different function button in Step 7 than what you
used for the garage door opener.

Programming Universal Home
Remote — Rolling Code
Rolling code garage door openers are used for
garage doors produced after 1996 and are
code protected. Rolling code means the coded
signal is changed every time your remote control
garage door opener is used.
Programming a rolling code 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
channels:
1. Press the two outside buttons at the same
time for one to two seconds, and immediately
release them.2. Go to the garage. Locate the garage door
motor head and press and release the
“learn” button.
After pressing the “learn” button, you have
10 to 30 seconds to complete Step 4 depending
on your garage control unit. If you cannot locate
the “learn” button, refer to the owner’s guide for
your garage door opener.
3. 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 20 seconds.
145

4. Immediately release the button when the
garage door moves. The indicator light will
blink rapidly until programming is complete.
5. Press and release the button again. The
garage door should move, conrming that
programming is successful and complete.
To program another device such as an additional
garage door opener, a security device, or home
lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 6, choosing a
different function button in Step 4 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 the vehicle or terminate your lease.
To erase either rolling code or xed code on the
Universal Home Remote device, do the following:
1. Press and hold the two outside buttons at
the same time for about 20 seconds, until
the indicator lights, located directly above

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
