seriously injured if the right front passenger’s air bag inflates. This
is because the back of a
rear-facing child restraint would be very close to
the inflating
air bag. Always secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the rear seat.

Universal Transmitter (Option)
This transmitter allows you to consolidate the functions of up to three individual hand-held transmitters. It will operate garage doors and gates, or with the
accessory package, other devices controlled
by radio
frequency such
as home/office lighting systems and
security systems. The transmitter will learn and transmit
the frequencies
of most current transmitters and is powered
by your
vehicle’s battery and charging system.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the universal transmitter with any garage
door opener that does not have the “stop and reverse”
safety feature. This includes any garage door opener
model manufactured before April
1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.
