Oil pressure can vary with enginespeed, outside temperature, and oilviscosity. On some models, the oil
pump will vary engine oil pressureaccording to engine needs. Oilpressure may change quickly as theengine speed or load varies. This isnormal. If the oil pressure warninglight or Driver Information Center(DIC) message indicates oilpressure outside the normaloperating range, check the vehicle'soil as soon as possible. SeeEngineOil Messages0141.

instructions refer to a garage dooropener, but can be used for otherdevices.
Do not use the Universal Remotesystem with any garage door openerthat does not have the stop andreverse feature. This includes anygarage door opener modelmanufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read these instructions completelybefore programming the UniversalRemote system. It may help to haveanother person assist with theprogramming process.
Keep the original hand-heldtransmitter for use in other vehiclesas well as for future programming.Erase the programming whenvehicle ownership is terminated.See“Erasing Universal RemoteSystem Buttons”later in thissection.
To p r o g r a m a g a r a g e d o o r o p e n e r ,park outside directly in line with andfacing the garage door openerreceiver. Clear all people andobjects near the garage door.
Make sure the hand-held transmitterhas a new battery for quick andaccurate transmission of theradio-frequency signal.
Programming the Universal
Remote System
For questions or help programmingthe Universal Remote system, call1-800-355-3515 or seewww.homelink.com.
Programming involvestime-sensitive actions, and may timeout causing the procedure to berepeated.
To p r o g r a m u p t o t h r e e d e v i c e s :
1. Hold the end of the hand-heldtransmitter about 3 to 8 cm (1to 3 in) away from theUniversal Remote systembuttons with the indicator lightin view. The hand-heldtransmitter was supplied by themanufacturer of the garagedoor opener receiver.
2. At the same time, press andhold both the hand-heldtransmitter button and one ofthe three Universal Remote
system buttons to be used tooperate the garage door. Donot release either button untilthe indicator light changes fromaslowtoarapidflash.Thenrelease both buttons.
Some garage door openersmay require substitution ofStep 2 with the procedureunder“Radio Signals forCanada and Some GateOperators”later in this section.
3. Press and hold the newlyprogrammed Universal Remotesystem button for five secondswhile watching the indicatorlight and garage dooractivation.
.If the indicator light stays oncontinuously or the garagedoor moves when thebutton is pressed, thenprogramming is complete.There is no need tocomplete Steps 4–6.
.If the indicator light doesnot come on or the garagedoor does not move, asecond button press may

be required. For a secondtime, press and hold thenewly programmed buttonfor five seconds. If the lightstays on or the garage doormoves, programming iscomplete.
.If the indicator light blinksrapidly for two seconds,then changes to a solid lightand the garage door doesnot move, continue withprogramming Steps 4–6.
Learn or Smart Button
4. After completing Steps 1–3,locate the Learn or Smartbutton inside garage on thegarage door opener receiver.
The name and color of thebutton may vary bymanufacturer.
5. Press and release the Learn orSmart button. Step 6 must becompleted within 30 seconds ofpressing this button.
6. Inside the vehicle, press andhold the newly programmedUniversal Remote systembutton for two seconds andthen release it. If the garagedoor does not move or thelamp on the garage dooropener receiver does not flash,press and hold the samebutton a second time fortwo seconds, then release it.Again, if the door does notmove or the garage door lampdoes not flash, press and holdthe same button a third time fortwo seconds, then release it.
The Universal Remote systemshould now activate thegarage door.
Repeat the process forprogramming the two remainingbuttons.
Radio Signals for Canada and
Some Gate Operators
For questions or programming helpcall 1-800-355-3515 or seewww.homelink.com.
Canadian radio-frequency laws andsome U.S. gate operators requiretransmitter signals to time out or quitafter several seconds oftransmission. This may not be longenough for the Universal Remotesystem to pick up the signal duringprogramming.
If the programming did not work,replace Step 2 under“Programmingthe Universal Remote System”withthe following:
Press and hold the UniversalRemote system button whilepressing and releasing thehand-held transmitter button everytwo seconds until the signal hasbeen successfully accepted by theUniversal Remote system. TheUniversal Remote system indicatorlight will flash slowly at first and thenrapidly. Proceed with Step 3 under“Programming the Universal RemoteSystem”to complete.
