Trunk
It can be dangerous to drive with the trunk lid
open because carbon monoxide
(CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You can’t see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If you must drive with the trunk lid open or if
electrical wiring or other cable connections must
pass through the seal between the body and the
trunk lid:
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on
AUTO or ECON and the temperature
between
65” F (18” C) and 85” F (29” C).
That will force outside air into your vehicle.
See “Comfort Controls” in the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them all the
way.

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.
Your vehicle’s engine should
be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps
to
program up to three channels:
1. If you have previously programmed a transmitter
channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
until the amber light begins to flash rapidly
(approximately
20 seconds). Then release the
buttons. This procedure initializes the memory and erases any previous settings for all three channels.
2. Decide which one of the three channels you want
to program.

so that you
can still see the amber light.
Using both hands, press the hand-held transmitter button and the desired button on the universal
transmitter. Continue to. press both buttons through
Step
5.
Hold down both buttons until you see the amber light
on the universal transmitter flash slowly and then
rapidly. The rapid flashing, which could take up to
90 seconds, indicates that the universal transmitter
has been programmed. Release both buttons once the
light starts to flash rapidly.
If you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make sure that you have followed the
directions exactly as described and that the battery in the
hand-held transmitter is not dead.
If you still cannot
program it, rotate the hand-held transmitter end over end
and
try again. The universal transmitter may not work
with older garage door openers that do not meet current
Federal Consumer Safety Standards. If you cannot
program the transmitter after repeated attempts, consult
your dealer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case
you need to erase and reprogram the universal transmitter. on
Note to Canadian Owners: During programming, the
hand-held transmitter may stop transmitting after one or
two seconds. If
you are programming from one of these
transmitters, you should press and re-press the button
the hand-held transmitter every two seconds without
ever releasing the button on the universal transmitter.
Release both buttons
when the amber light on the
universal transmitter begins to flash rapidly.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The amber light comes on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the universal transmitter is disabled when the
valet button inside the glove
box is activated. For more
information, see “Valet Lockout Button” earlier
in
this section.
Also note that if the hand-held transmitter appears to
program the universal transmitter but does not open
your garage door, and if the garage door opener was
manufactured after
1995, the garage door opener may
have a “rolling code” system.
A rolling code system
changes the code
of the garage door opener every time
you open
or close the garage door.
To determine if you have this system, press the button
on the universal transmitter that you have programmed

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine already. If the amber light on the universal transmitter
flashes rapidly for one or two seconds and then stops
flashing, the garage door opener has a rolling code
system.
In a rolling code system, the garage door
receiver must be trained to the universal transmitter.
Training a Garage Door Opener with
“Rolling Codes”
(If Equipped)
If you have not previously programmed the hand-held
transmitter to the universal transmitter, see
“Programming the Transmitter” earlier in this section. If
you have completed this programming already, you now
need to’ train the garage door opener receiver to
recognize the universal transmitter. Refer to your garage
door opener owner’s manual for the proper transmitter
training procedure for your garage door opener brand.
1. Locate the training button on the garage door opener
receiver. The exact location and color of the button
may
vary by garage door opener brand. If you have
difficulty locating the training button, refer
to your
garage door opener manual.
2. Press the training button on the garage door opener
receiver for one or
two seconds. A light indicator will
begin to flash when the receiver enters the train mode.
3. Return to the universal transmitter in your vehicle and
press the universal transmitter button you have already
programmed for
two to three seconds. Press the button
again to make sure that the universal transmitter has
been trained to the garage door opener receiver. Check that the training was successful. The receiver light
should no longer be
flashing.
The garage door opener should now recognize the
universal transmitter. You may either use the universal
transmitter or the hand-held transmitter to open the
garage door.
If after following these instructions you still have problems
training the garage door opener, consult your dealer.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash.
Individual channels cannot be erased, but can
be
reprogrammed using the procedure for programming the
transmitter explained earlier.

The speedometer lets you see your speed in both miles
per hour (mph) and kilometers per hour
(km/h). The
odometer shows how far your vehicle has been driven,
in either miles (used in the United States) or kilometers
(used in Canada).
You may wonder what happens if a vehicle has to have a
new odometer installed. The new one may read the
correct mileage. This is because your vehicle’s computer
has stored the mileage in memory.

The fuel data panel tells you all you need to know about
the fuel economy and how far you can travel with the
he1 remaining. The
RANGE display shows how far the computer thinks
you can travel with the fuel that is in the tank. The
computer does not know what driving conditions will be
like for the rest of your trip,
so the range is estimated
based on the recent fuel economy. Therefore,
the range
reading may change as your driving habits change. Going from city to highway driving may increase the
range reading.
If the range display shows
LO, you should stop for fuel
as soon as possible.
