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.

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.

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.

This gage indicates the
I NOTICE:
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer in
the red area or engine damage may occur.
Engine Speed Limiter
This feature prevents the engine from operating at too
many revolutions per minute (rpm). When the engine’s
rpm are critically high, the fuel supply to the engine is shu\
t
off. When the engine speed slows, the fuel supply will
come on again.
This helps prevent damage to the engine. This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on
your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be
or is a
problem with one of your vehicle’s functions.
As you
will see in the details
on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they’re working.
If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle’s functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there’s a problem with your vehicle.

still work and stop you. For good braking, though, you
need both parts working well.
If the warning light comes on, there is a brake problem.

take your vehicle to the dealer at once.
To save your
battery until you get there, turn off all accessories. This light should come
on briefly when you turn
the ignition key to RUN. If
it doesn’t come on then,

You may notice that the pedal is
harder to push. Or, the pedal may go closer to the floor.
It may take longer to stop. If the light is still on, have the
vehicle towed for service. (See “Towing
Your Vehicle”
in the Index.)
