The illuminated entry system turns on the courtesy
lamps and the backlighting to the door switches and to
the lamp control knob when a door is opened or
if you
press a remote keyless entry transmitter button. Since
the illuminated
entry system has a photocell, this means
that it must be dark outside in order for the courtesy
lamps or backlighting
to turn on. The courtesy lamps
turn off approximately
20 seconds after the last door is
closed
or after the ignition key is placed in the ignition.
Parade Dimming
This feature prohibits backlighting and the dimming
of the instrument panel lights during daylight while the
headlamps are
on. This feature operates with the light
sensor for the twilight sentinel and is fully automatic.
When
the light sensor reads darkness outside, the
instrument panel lights can be adjusted. Backlighting
to the instrument panel will also turn on.
Reading Lamps
The reading lamps are located in the roof. These lamps
and the interior courtesy lamps automatically come on
when either door
is opened and it is dark outside. For
manual operation, press the button
to turn them on.
Press it again to turn them off. If
the reading lamps are left
on. rney automatically shut
off IO minutes after the ignition has been turned off.
Inadvertent Power Battery Saver
This feature is designed to protect your vehicle’s battery
against drainage from the interior lamps, trunk lamp,
glove box lamp, cigarette lighters or the garage door
opener. When
the ignition is turned off, the power
to these features will automatically turn off after
10 minutes (three minutes
if a new car has I5 miles
(24 km) or less). Power will be restored for an additional
10 minutes if either door is opened, the trunk is opened
or the courtesy lamp switch is turned on.
Storage Mode Personalization
This feature is for long term use and must be
programmed through the Driver Information Center
(DIC) while the ignition is in RUN. Storage mode
personalization protects the battery by placing your
vehicle in a storage mode
so that the radio, amplifiers,
instrument cluster and remote keyless entry will
not drain the battery over a long period of time.
For programming information, see “Programmable,
Memory and Personalization Features” later
in
this section.

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.

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.
