Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the transmitter 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.
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 not previously programmed a universal
channel, proceed to Step
2. Otherwise, hold down
the two outside buttons on the universal transmitter
until the red 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. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter against the
bottom surface of the universal transmitter
so that
you can still see the red light.
3. Decide which one of the three channels you want to
program. Using both hands, press the hand-held
transmitter button and the desired button on the
universal transmitter. Continue to hold both buttons
through Step
4.
4.
Hold down both buttons until you see the red light
on the universal transmitter flash rapidly. The rapid
flashing, which could take up to
90 seconds,
indicates that the universal transmitter has been
programmed. Release both buttons once the light
starts
to flash rapidly.

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
GM dealer.
Be sure to keep the original hand-held transmitter
in case you need to erase and reprogram the
universal transmitter.
Operating the Transmitter
Press and hold the appropriate button on the universal
transmitter. The red light comes on while the signal is
being transmitted.
Note that the effective transmission range of the
universal transmitter may differ from the hand-held
transmitter and from one channel to another.
Training a Garage Opener with a “Rolling
If you programmed the universal transmitter, but the
garage door will not open, and if your garage door opener
was manufactured after 1995, your garage door may have
a
security feature that changes the “code” of your garage
door opener every time it is opened or closed.
To determine if your garage door opener has this
“rolling code” feature, press the appropriate button
on
the universal transmitter that was programmed. If the
red light flashes rapidly for one to two seconds, then
turns solid, your garage door opener has this feature.
To program
a garage door opener with the rolling code
feature, do the following:
1.
2.
3.
Program your hand-held transmitter to the universal
transmitter by following the steps provided under “Programming the Transmitte?’ earlier
in this section.
Remove the cover panel from the garage door opener
receiver.
It is located near the garage door opener motor.
Locate the training button on the garage door opener
receiver. The exact location and color will vary
among brands.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Warning Lights, Gages and Indicators
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. When
one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you
are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about it. Please follow this manual’s advice.
Waiting
to do repairs can be costly -- and even
dangerous.
So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They’re a big help.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will
come
on for about eight seconds to remind people to
fasten their safety belts, unless the driver’s safety belt is
already buckled.
The safety belt light will
also come
on and stay on
for about
20 seconds,
then it will flash for about
55 seconds. If the driver’s
belt
is already buckled,
neither the chime nor the
light will come
on.
