Universal Remote System
Programming
If the vehicle has this feature, you
will see these buttons with one
LED indicator next to them in the
overhead console. 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 Remote
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.
Read the instructions completely
before attempting to program
the Universal Remote system.
Because of the steps involved, it
may be helpful to have another
person available to assist with
programming the Universal
Remote system.

Keep the original hand-held
transmitter for use in other vehicles
as well as for future Universal
Remote system programming.
It is also recommended that
upon the sale of the vehicle, the
programmed Universal Remote
system buttons be erased for
security purposes. See“Erasing
Universal Remote System 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 the hand-held
transmitter for quicker and more
accurate transmission of the
radio-frequency signal.Programming the Universal
Remote System
For questions or help programming
the Universal 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 the hand-held transmitter about 3 to 8 cm
(1 to 3 in) away from the
Universal Remote system
buttons while keeping
the indicator light in view.
The hand-held transmitter was
supplied by the manufacturer
of the 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 Remote
system buttons to be used to
operate the garage door. Do not
release the Universal Remote
system 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.

does not move, continue
with 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
Remote system 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.

Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
If you have questions or need help
programming the Universal 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 Remote
system 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
the Universal Remote System”
procedures, regardless of where
you live, replace Step 2 under
“Programming the Universal Remote
System” with the following:
Continue to press and hold
the Universal Remote system
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 Remote system.
The Universal Remote system
indicator light will flash slowly at
first and then rapidly. Proceed with
Step 3 under “Programming the
Universal Remote System” to
complete.
Universal Remote System
