Resynchronization Resynchronization may be necessary due to the security
method used by this system. The transmitter does not
send the
same signal twice to the receiver. The receiver
will
not respond to a signal it has been sent previously.
This prevents anyone
from recording and playing back
the signal from the transmitter.
To resynchronize your transmitter, stand close to your
vehicle and press and hold the LOCK and UNLOCK
buttons on the transmitter at the same time for seven
seconds. The door locks should cycle to confirm
synchronization.
If the locks do not cycle. see your
dealer for service.
LiftgateLiftglass
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate or
liftglass open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas
can come into your vehicle. You can’t see or smell
CO. It can cause unconsciousness and even death.
If‘ you must drive with the liftgate or liftglass
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal between
the body and the liftgate
or liftglass:
Make sure all windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed with the setting
on any airflow selection except
RECIRCULATION. That will force outside
air into your vehicle. See “Comfort
Controls” in the Index.
If you have air outlets on or under the
instrument panel, open them
all the way.
See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.

lamp to turn the reading
lamps
on and off.

desired direction.
Driver Information System
This system displays the outside air temperature,
compass direction and trip information in the
overhead console.
USMET The USMET (United Statedmetric) button
allows you to switch the display between
the English
and metric system.
MODE: The MODE button can be used to toggle
between three modes
of operation: OFF, COMP/TEMP
and TRIP.
OFF: This button turns the system off.
COMP/TEMP: The display provides the outside
temperature and one
of eight compass readings to
indicate the direction the vehicle is facing.
Before you turn on the ignition and move
the vehicle,
the temperature indicated will be the last outside
temperature recorded with the ignition on. If the outside
temperature is
37°F (3°C) or lower, the display will
toggle between the word ICE and the current
temperature every eight seconds. This is a warning
to
the driver that road conditions may be icy, and that
appropriate precautions should be taken.
The compass is self-calibrating,
so it does not need to be
manually set. However, if C (Calibration) is displayed, the
compass will need
to be calibrated. You may also place the
compass in a noncalibrated mode by pressing and holding
the MODE and USMET buttons simultaneously while in
the COMPREMP mode. After about 10 seconds, the
compass will display
C and you can release the buttons.
Drive
the vehicle in a complete 360" circle three times at
a speed of less than 5 mph (8 km/h), and the compass will
function normally. Once the calibration is complete, the
display will return
to a compass reading.

Variance is the difference between magnetic north and
geographic north. In some areas, the difference between
the two can be great enough to cause false compass
readings. If this happens, follow these instructions to set
the variance for your particular location:
1. Find your location on the zone map earlier in this
section. Note your zone number.
2. Press and hold both the MODE and the USMET
buttons
in the COMP/TEMP mode.
3. After five seconds, the compass will acknowledge
the variation mode by displaying the current zone
number,
When it does, release both buttons.
4. Press US/MET until your zone number appears on
the display.
5. Press MODE to enter your zone number. Your
variance is now set and the display will return to the
COMP/TEMP mode.
TRIP: Once in the TRIP mode, pressing the MODE
button will step
you through the following
TRIP functions:
0 AVG ECON: The average fuel economy since the
last reset
is displayed.
INST ECON: Instantaneous fuel economy for the
last second of driving is displayed.
RANGE: The display indicates the estimated
distance that can be travelled with the remaining fuel
in the tank, based on the fuel economy for the last
few hours
of driving.
FUEL USED: The fuel used since the last reset
is displayed.
AVG SPEED: The average speed since the last reset
is displayed.

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

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

to flash rapidly.
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
GMC 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

SCV automatically increases the volume, as necessary,
to overcome noise at any particular speed. The volume
level should always sound the same to you as you drive.
If you don't want
to use SCV, turn the control all the
way down. Each notch on
the control ring allows for
more volume compensation at faster vehicle speeds.
