For questions or programming
help, see www.homelink.com/
gm or call 1-800-355-3515.
For calls placed outside the
U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico, international rates will apply
and may differ based on

or other airborne
obstructions.
.The vehicle's windshield is
dirty, cracked, or obstructed
by something that blocks the
view of the light sensor.
.The vehicle is loaded such
that the front end points
upward, causing the light
sensor to aim high and not
detect headlamps and
