Universal Remote System
Programming
If the vehicle has this feature,
you will see these buttons with one
LED indicator next to them in the
headliner. This system provides a way to
replace up to three remote control
transmitters used to activate
devices such as garage door
openers, security systems, and
home automation devices.
Do not use the Universal Home
Remote with any garage door
opener that does not have the stop
and reverse feature. This includes
any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely
before attempting to program
the Universal Home Remote.
Because of the steps involved, it
may be helpful to have another
person available to assist you with
programming the Universal Home
Remote.
Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other vehicles
as well as for future Universal
Home Remote programming. It is
also recommended that upon the
sale of the vehicle, the programmed
Universal Home Remote buttons
be erased for security purposes.
See
“Erasing Universal Home
Remote Buttons” later in this
section.
When programming a garage door,
park outside of the garage. Park
directly in line with and facing the
garage door opener motor-head
or gate motor-head. Be sure that
people and objects are clear of
the garage door or gate being
programmed.
It is recommended that a new
battery be installed in your
hand-held transmitter for quicker
and more accurate transmission
of the radio-frequency signal.

Programming the Universal
Home Remote System
For questions or help programming
the Universal Home Remote
System, call 1‐800‐355‐3515
or go to www.homelink.com.
Programming a garage door opener
involves time-sensitive actions, so
read the entire procedure before
starting. Otherwise, the device will
time out and the procedure will have
to be repeated.
To program up to three devices:
1. Hold the end of yourhand-held transmitter about
3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) away
from the Universal Home
Remote buttons while keeping
the indicator light in view.
The hand-held transmitter was
supplied by the manufacturer
of your garage door opener
receiver (motor-head unit). 2. At the same time, press
and hold both the hand-held
transmitter button and one
of the three Universal Home
Remote buttons to be used
to operate the garage door.
Do not release the Universal
Home Remote button or the
hand-held transmitter button
until the indicator light changes
from a slowly to a rapidly
flashing light. You now may
release both buttons.
Some entry gates and
garage door openers may
require substitution of Step 2
with the procedure noted in
“Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this
section.
3. Press and hold for five seconds the newly-trained Universal
Home Remote button (the button selected in Step 2)
while observing the indicator
light and garage door activation..If the indicator light stays
on continuously or the
garage door starts to move
when the Universal Home
Remote button is pressed
and released, then the
programming is complete.
There is no need to
continue programming
Steps 4 through 6.
.If the Universal Home
Remote indicator
light blinks rapidly for
two seconds, then turns
to a constant light and the
garage door does not
move, continue with the
programming Steps 4
through 6.
It may be helpful to have
another person assist with
the remaining Steps 4
through 6.

“Learn”or“Smart” Buttons
4. After Steps 1 through 3 have been completed, locate the
“Learn” or“Smart” button inside
the garage on the garage door
opener receiver (motor-head
unit). The name and color
of the button may vary by
manufacturer. 5. Firmly press and release the
“Learn” or“Smart” button. After
you press this button, you will
have 30 seconds to complete
Step 6.
6. Immediately return to the vehicle. Firmly press and hold
for two seconds the Universal
Home Remote button, selected
in Step 2 to control the garage
door, and then release it. If the
garage door does not move or
the lamp on the garage door
opener receiver (motor-head
unit) does not flash, press and
hold the same button a second
time for two seconds, and then
release it. Again, if the door
does not move or the garage
door lamp does not flash, press
and hold the same button a third
time for two seconds, and then
release. The Universal Home Remote should
now activate the garage door.
To program the remaining two
Universal Home Remote buttons,
begin with Step 1 of
“Programming
the Universal Home Remote
System.”
Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
If you have questions or need
help programming the Universal
Home Remote System, call
1‐800‐355‐3515 or go to
www.homelink.com.
Canadian radio-frequency laws
require transmitter signals to time
out or quit after several seconds of
transmission. This may not be long
enough for the Universal Home
Remote to pick up the signal during
programming. Similarly, some U.S.
gate operators are manufactured to
time out in the same manner.

Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running
lamps are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada.
A light sensor on top of the
instrument panel makes the DRL
work, so be sure it is not covered.
The DRL system makes the
low‐beam headlamps come on at a
reduced brightness or for vehicles
with High Intensity Discharge (HID)
headlamps, the DRL lights will come
on when the following conditions
are met:
.The ignition is in the
ON/RUN mode.
.The exterior lamps control is
in AUTO.
.The engine is running.When the DRL are on, only the
low‐beam headlamps, at a reduced
level of brightness, will be on.
The high‐beam headlamps,
taillamps, sidemarker, instrument
panel and other lamps will not
be on.
The headlamps automatically
change from DRL to the regular
headlamps depending on the
darkness of the surroundings.
The other lamps that come on with
the headlamps will also come on.
When it is bright enough outside,
the headlamps go off and the DRL
come on.
To turn the DRL lamps off or on
again, turn the exterior lamps
control to the off position and then
release. For vehicles first sold in
Canada, the DRL lamps cannot be
turned off.

position will deactivate the system.
AFL will operate when the vehicle
speed is greater than 3 km/h
(2 mph). AFL will not operate when
the transmission is in R (Reverse).
AFL is not immediately operable
after starting the vehicle; driving
a short distance is required to
calibrate the AFL. See
Exterior
Lamp Controls on page 6‑1.

AUTO position. See Exterior
Lamp Controls on page 6‑1. If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately.
If it is light outside when the vehicle
leaves the garage, there is a
slight delay before the automatic
headlamp system changes to
the DRL. During that delay, the
instrument panel cluster may not
be as bright as usual. Make sure
the instrument panel brightness
