Tachometer
The tachometer displays the
engine speed in revolutions
per minute (rpm).
For vehicles with the Stop/
Start system, when the
ignition is on, the tachometer
indicates the vehicle status.
When pointing to AUTO STOP
(Base Level) or the cluster
displays AUTO STOP text
(Uplevel), the engine is off but
the vehicle is on and can move.
The engine could auto start at
any time. When the indicator
points to OFF, the vehicle
is off.
The tachometer may vary by
several hundred rpm, during
Auto Stop mode, when the
engine is shutting off and
restarting.
Uplevel
The redline of the tachometer
adjusts dynamically based on
engine temperature. The
redline displays a lowerindication when the vehicles
odometer value is less than
805 kilometers (500 miles).
If equipped, the shift
indicators are displayed on
instrument cluster and
Head-Up Display (HUD). The
shift indicators are only
operational when the
automatic transmission is in
Manual mode, or the vehicle
has a manual transmission.
See Manual Mode
0282. When
the vehicle engine is less than
70°C (158°F) and the vehicle
odometer value is less than
805 kilometers (500 miles) the
shift indications are not
displayed.
A strong visual indicator is
displayed as the vehicle
approaches the red line. Tour
and Sport themes feature
shift rings while the Track
theme features shift lights
accompanied by a numerical
tachometer display.

Do not use the Universal
Remote 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.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other
vehicles as well as for future
programming. Erase the
programming when vehicle
ownership is terminated. See
“Erasing Universal Remote
System Buttons”later in this
section.
To program a garage door
opener, park outside directly in
line with and facing the garage
door opener receiver. Clear all
people and objects near the
garage door.
Make sure the hand-held
transmitter has a new battery
for quick and accurate
transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.Programming the
Universal Remote System
Programming involves
time-sensitive actions and may
time out, requiring the
procedure to be repeated.
Read these instructions
completely before
programming the Universal
Remote system. It may help to
have another person assist
with the programming
process.
1. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter
about 3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in)
away from the Universal
Remote system buttons
with the indicator light in
view. The hand-held
transmitter was supplied
by the manufacturer of the
garage door opener
receiver.
2. Press and release one of the three Universal
Remote system buttons to
be programmed. Press and
hold the hand-held transmitter button. Do not
release the hand-held
transmitter button until
the indicator light changes
from a slow to a rapid flash
or continuous light. Then
release the hand-held
transmitter button.
Some garage door
openers may require
substitution of Step 2 with
the procedure under
“Radio Signals for Some
Gate Operators”
later in
this section.
3. Press and hold the newly programmed Universal
Remote system button for
five seconds while
watching the indicator light
and garage door
activation.
.If the indicator light
stays on continuously or
the garage door moves
when the button is
pressed, then
programming is

150 Instruments and Controls
complete. There is no
need to complete
Steps 4–6.
.If the indicator light does
not come on or the
garage door does not
move, a second button
press may be required.
For a second time, press
and hold the newly
programmed button for
five seconds. If the
indicator light stays on
continuously or the
garage door moves
when the button is
pressed, then
programming is
complete. There is no
need to complete
Steps 4–6.
.If the garage door does
not move, continue with
programming Steps 4–6.
Learn or Smart Button
4. After completing Steps 1– 3, locate the Learn or
Smart button inside
garage on the garage door
opener receiver. The name
and color of the button
may vary by manufacturer.
5. Press and release the Learn or Smart button.
Step 6 must be completed
within 30 seconds of
pressing this button.
6. Return to the vehicle and firmly press and hold the
trained Universal Remote
system button for
two seconds and release.
Repeat the “press/hold/ release”
sequence up to
three times to complete
the training process.
The Universal Remote system
should now activate the
garage door. Repeat the
process for programming the
remaining two buttons.
For questions or programming
help, see www.homelink.com/
gm or call 1-800-355-3515.
For calls placed outside the
U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico,
international rates will apply
and may differ based on
landline or mobile phone.
Radio Signals for Some
Gate Operators
Some gate operators and
radio-frequency laws require
transmitter signals to time out
or quit after several seconds
of transmission. This may not
be long enough for the
Universal Remote system to
pick up the signal during
programming.
