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.
3. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the
front surface of the universal transmitter
so that you
can still see the amber light.

button and the desired button on the universal
transmitter. Continue

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.
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
on
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
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.

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.
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 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 gage shows
approximately how much
fuel
is in the tank. It
works only when the
ignition is
in RUN.
Here are a few concerns some owners have had about
the fuel gage. All
of these situations are normal and do
not indicate that anything is wrong with the fuel gage.
0 At the gas station the gas pump shuts off before the
gage reads F.
It takes more (or less) gas to fill the tank than the
gage said. For example, the gage read
8 GALLONS
(30 L), but it took more (or less) than the tank’s
remaining capacity to fill it.

speed up.
