Your vehicle’s engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program
up to three channels:
I, 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 rekase 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 ~~niversal 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 yo~r see the red light
on the Llniversal 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.
If you have trouble programming the universal
transmitter, make s~rre that you have followed the
directions exactly
as described and that the battery in the
hand-held transmitter is not dead.
If yo~t 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.

Brake Pedal Travel
See your dealer if the brake pedal does not return to
nor~nal height, or
if there is a rapid increase in pedal
travel.
This could be a sign of brake trouble.
Brake Adjustment
Every time you make a brake stop, your disc brakes
adjust for wear.
If your brake pedal goes down farther than normal. your
rear drum brakes may need adjustment. Adjust them
by
backing up and firmly app1yin.g the brakes a lew times.
Replacing Brake System Parts
The braking system on a modern vehicle is complex. Its
many parts have to be of top quality and work well
together
if the vehicle is to have really good braking.
Your vehicle was designed and tested
with top-quality
GM brake parts. When
you replace parts of your braking system
-- for
example, when your brake linings wear down and you
haw to have new ones
put in -- be sure you get new
approved
GM replacement parts. If you don’t, your
brakes may
no longer work properly. For example, if
someone puts in brake linings that are wrong for your
vehicle, the balance between
your front and rear brakes
can change
-- for the worse. The braking performance
you’ve come to expect can change
in many other ways if
someone puts in the wrong replacement brake parts.
Battery
Every new vehicle has a Delco Freedom@ battery. You
never have to add water to one of these. When it’s time
for a new battery, we recomlnend a Delco Freedom
battery. Get one that has the replacement number shown
on the original battery‘s label.
