Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter
signals to time out or quit after several seconds
of transmission. This may not be long enough
for 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.
If you live in Canada, or you are having difficulty
programming a gate operator or garage door
opener by using the “Programming Universal
Home Remote” procedures, regardless of where
you live, replace Step 3 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” with the following:
Continue to press and hold the Universal Home
Remote button while you press and release every
two seconds (cycle) the hand-held transmitter
button until the frequency signal has been
successfully accepted by the Universal Home
Remote. The Universal Home Remote indicator
light will ash slowly at rst and then rapidly.
Proceed with Step 4 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” to complete.
Using Universal Home Remote
Press and hold the appropriate Universal Home
Remote button for at least half of a second.
The indicator light will come on while the signal
is being transmitted.
Erasing Universal Home Remote
Buttons
To erase programming from the three Universal
Home Remote buttons do the following:
1. Press and hold down the two outside buttons
until the indicator light begins to ash, after
20 seconds. Do not hold the two outside
buttons for longer than 30 seconds.
2. Release both buttons.
The Universal Home Remote is now in the training
(learning) mode and can be programmed at any
time beginning with Step 2 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” shown earlier in
this section.
Individual buttons cannot be erased, but they can
be reprogrammed. See “Reprogramming a Single
Universal Home Remote Button” following this
section.

Universal Home Remote System
Operation (With Three Round LED)
Your vehicle may have the Universal Home
Remote System. If there are three round Light
Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lights above
the Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the
instructions below.
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 this system 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.

2. Write down the eight to 12 switch settings
from left to right as follows:
When a switch is in the up position,
write “Left.”
When a switch is in the down position,
write “Right.”
If a switch is set between the up and down
position, write “Middle.”
The switch settings that you wrote down in
Step 2 will now become the button strokes
you enter into the Universal Home Remote in
Step 4. Be sure to enter the switch settings
that you wrote down in Step 2, in order from
left to right, into the Universal Home Remote,
when completing Step 4.
3. From inside your vehicle, rst rmly press
all three buttons at the same time for about
three seconds. Release the buttons to put
the Universal Home Remote into
programming mode.4. The indicator lights will blink slowly. Enter
each switch setting from Step 2 into your
vehicle’s Universal Home Remote. You will
have two and one-half minutes to complete
Step 4. Now press one button on the Universal
Home Remote for each switch setting as
follows:

Automatic Operation
AUTO (Automatic):Press the AUTO button to
place the entire system in the automatic mode.
When automatic operation is active, the system will
automatically control the inside temperature, the
air delivery mode, and the fan speed.
After a ten second display of the current settings,
the word AUTO, the driver’s temperature setting
and the outside temperature will be shown. The
system will operate to achieve your comfort set
temperature as quickly as possible. The AUTO
control system works best with the windows up
and the removable roof installed or the convertible
top up.
1. Press the AUTO button.
2. Adjust the temperature to a comfortable
setting between 60°F (16°C) and 90°F (32°C).
Choosing the coldest or warmest temperature
setting will not cause the system to heat or
cool any faster. A setting of 73°F (23°C)
is suggested.In cold weather, the system will start at
reduced fan speeds to avoid blowing cold air
into your vehicle until warmer air is available.
The system will start out blowing air at
the oor but may change modes automatically
as the vehicle warms up to maintain the
chosen temperature setting. The length of
time needed for warm up will depend on the
outside temperature and the length of time
that has elapsed since your vehicle was
last driven.
3. Wait for the system to regulate. This may
take from 10 to 30 minutes. Then adjust
the temperature, if necessary.
Do not cover the solar sensor located in the
center of the instrument panel, near the
windshield. For more information on the solar
sensor, see “Sensor” later in this section.

Pressing the arrows will delete AUTO from the
digital display. The fan graphics with the fan speed
bars will be shown. To increase the fan speed
so that more air ows into the vehicle, press the
up arrow on the fan switch. To decrease the
fan speed and airow, press the down arrow.
The AUTO button must be pressed to return to the
automatic fan control.
If the airow seems low when the fan speed is at
the highest setting, the passenger compartment
air lter may need to be replaced. For more
information, seePassenger Compartment Air Filter
on page 186andScheduled Maintenance on
page 433.
?(Recirculation):Press this button to turn the
recirculation mode on or off. When the climate
control system is in recirculation mode an indicator
light will come on. This mode prevents outside
air from entering your vehicle. It can be used
to prevent outside air and odors from entering
your vehicle and to help cool the air inside your
vehicle more quickly. Recirculation mode is
not available in defrost or defog mode.
^(Air Conditioning Off):Press this button
to turn the air conditioning compressor off.
Press AUTO to return to automatic operation.
When in AUTO, the air conditioning compressor
will come on automatically, as needed.
Air conditioning does not operate at temperatures
below about 35°F to 40°F (2°C to 4°C).
In temperatures above 40°F (4°C), the air
conditioning cannot be turned off in defrost and
defog, as it helps to remove moisture from the
vehicle. It also helps to keep the windows clear.
You may notice a slight change in engine
performance when the air-conditioning compressor
shuts off and turns on again. This is normal.
The system is designed to make adjustments to
help with fuel economy while still maintaining
the selected temperature.
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside
air escape; then close them. This helps to reduce
the time it takes for your vehicle to cool down.
It also helps the system to operate more efficiently.
182

For quick cool down on hot days press the AUTO
button and adjust the temperature to a cool,
comfortable setting. To achieve maximum cool
down, do the following:
1. Select the vent mode.
2. Select recirculation mode.
3. Select the A/C on.
4. Select the coolest temperature.
5. Select the highest fan speed.
Using these settings together for long periods
of time may cause the air inside of your vehicle to
become too dry. To prevent this from happening,
after the air in your vehicle has cooled, turn
the recirculation mode off.
The air conditioning system removes moisture
from the air, so you may sometimes notice a
small amount of water dripping underneath
your vehicle while idling or after turning off the
engine. This is normal.Sensors
The solar sensor on your vehicle monitors the
solar radiation and uses the information to
maintain the selected temperature when operating
in AUTO mode by initiating needed adjustments
to the temperature, the fan speed and the air
delivery system. The system may also supply
cooler air to the side of the vehicle facing the sun.
The recirculation mode will also be activated,
as necessary. Do not cover the solar sensor
located on the top of the instrument panel near
the windshield or the system will not work properly.
There is also a sensor located behind the front
bumper. This sensor reads the outside air
temperature and helps to maintain the temperature
inside the vehicle. Any cover on the front of the
vehicle could give a false reading in the
temperature.
If the outside temperature goes up, the displayed
temperature will not change until:
The vehicle’s speed is above
12 mph (19 km/h) for ve minutes.
The vehicle’s speed is above
32 mph (52 km/h) for two and a half minutes.

Instrument Panel Cluster
Your instrument panel cluster and Driver Information Center (DIC) are designed to let you know at a glance
how the vehicle is running. You will know how fast you are going, about how much fuel you have left and
many other things you will need to know to drive safely and economically. The instrument panel cluster
indicator warning lights, gages and DIC messages are explained on the following pages.

Speedometer and Odometer
Your speedometer lets you see your speed in
either miles per hour (mph) or kilometers per
hour (km/h). For more information see “Personal
Options” underDIC Vehicle Personalization
on page 234.
To read the odometer with the ignition off, turn
on the parking lamps.
You may wonder what happens if your vehicle
needs a new odometer installed. The mileage
total of the new odometer will be set to the original
miles (kilometers) of the old odometer. See your
dealer if the odometer must be replaced in
your vehicle.
Tachometer
The tachometer displays the engine speed in
thousands of revolutions per minute (rpm).
Notice:Fuel will shut off at about 6600 rpm
for the base model and 7100 rpm for the
Z06 model. If you continue to drive your vehicle
at the fuel shut off rpm, you could damage
your engine. Be sure to operate your vehicle
below the fuel shut off rpm or reduce your
rpm quickly when the fuel shuts off.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition is turned on, a chime will come
on for several 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 several seconds,
then it will ash for
several more.
This chime and light will be repeated if the driver
remains unbuckled and the vehicle is in motion.
If the driver’s belt is already buckled, neither
the chime nor the light will come on.

Emissions Inspection and
Maintenance Programs
Some state/provincial and local governments have
or may begin programs to inspect the emission
control equipment on your vehicle. Failure to pass
this inspection could prevent you from getting a
vehicle registration.
Here are some things you need to know to help
your vehicle pass an inspection:
Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the
check engine light is on or not working properly.
To perform a check engine light bulb check with the
keyless ignition, make sure the transmitter fob is in
the passenger compartment. SeeIgnition Positions
on page 90. Press the bottom of the Acc. button on
the instrument panel and hold the button down for
ve seconds. The instrument panel, including the
check engine light, will light up and the ignition will
be on, but the engine will not start — if you pressthe bottom of the Acc. button only briey, less than
ve seconds, the accessory power mode will be
turned on, but not the ignition. After the bulb check,
be sure to press and release the Acc. button again
to turn the ignition off and avoid draining the
vehicle’s battery.
Your vehicle will not pass this inspection if the
OBD (on-board diagnostic) system determines that
critical emission control systems have not been
completely diagnosed by the system. The vehicle
would be considered not ready for inspection.
This can happen if you have recently replaced
the battery or if the battery has run down.
The diagnostic system is designed to evaluate
critical emission control systems during normal
driving. This may take several days of routine
driving. If you have done this and your vehicle
still does not pass the inspection for lack of
OBD system readiness, your dealer can prepare
the vehicle for inspection.
203

If a problem is detected, a warning message will
appear on the DIC display. Be sure to take any
message that appears on the display seriously and
remember that clearing the message will only make
the message disappear, not correct the problem.
If your vehicle has the Head-Up Display (HUD) and
you use the Manual Paddle Shift feature, the gear
will display in the HUD, except if your vehicle has
the Navigation system and the HUD is displaying
turn-by-turn guidance information. If the HUD is
displaying turn-by-turn guidance information, the
gear instead displays in the DIC. See “Manual
Paddle Shift” underAutomatic Transmission
Operation on page 95and “Head-Up Display
(HUD)” in the index of the Navigation system
manual for more information.DIC Controls and Displays
The Driver Information Center (DIC) has different
modes which can be accessed by pressing
the following buttons located on the instrument
panel, to the right of the instrument panel cluster.
.4(Fuel):Press this button to display fuel
information such as fuel economy and range.
