2. Hold the end of your hand-heldtransmitter about 3 to 8 cm
(1 to 3 inches) away from the
Universal Home Remote buttons
while keeping the indicator light
in view. The hand-held
transmitter was supplied by the
manufacturer of your garage
door opener receiver (motor
head unit).
3. At the same time, press and hold both the Universal Home
Remote button to be used 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
substitution of 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 will
flash slowly at first 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.
There is no need to
continue programming
Steps 6 through 8.
.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 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 will
have 30 seconds to complete
Step 8.
8. Immediately return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold
the Universal Home Remote
button, selected 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 will erase 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 will flash slowly at first and then
rapidly. Proceed with Step 4 under
“Programming Universal Home
Remote” to complete the training
procedure.

Adaptive Forward
Lighting (AFL)
The Adaptive Forward Lighting
System (AFL) pivots the headlamps
horizontally to provide greater road
illumination while turning. To enable
AFL, set the exterior lamp switch on
the multifunction lever to the AUTO
position. Moving the switch out of
the AUTO position will deactivate
the system. AFL will operate when
the vehicle speed is greater than
3 km/h (2 mph). AFL will not operate
when the transmission is in
R (Reverse). AFL is not immediately
operable after starting the vehicle;
driving a short distance is required
to calibrate the AFL. SeeExterior
Lamp Controls on page 6‑1.
