Programming the Transmitter
Do not use the transmitter with any garage door opener
that does not have the ªstop and reverseº feature. This
includes any garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982.
Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage
door you are programming.
Your vehicle's engine should be turned off while
programming the transmitter. Follow these steps to
program up to three channels.
1. 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 release 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 universal 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 you see the red light
on the universal 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 flashing 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 GM 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
being transmitted.
The effective transmission range of the universal
transmitter may differ from the hand
-held transmitter
and from one channel to another.
Erasing Channels
To erase all three programmed channels, hold down the
two outside buttons until the red light begins to flash.
Individual channels cannot be erased, but can be
reprogrammed using the procedure for programming the
transmitter explained earlier.

2-66 Training a Garage Door Opener with a
ªRolling Codeº Feature
If you programmed the universal transmitter, but the
garage door will not open, and if your garage door
opener was manufactured after 1995, your garage door
may have a security feature that changes the ªcodeº of
your garage door opener every time it is opened
or closed.
To determine if your garage door opener has this
ªrolling codeº feature, press the appropriate button on
the universal transmitter that was programmed. If the
red light flashes rapidly for one to two seconds, then
turns solid, your garage door opener has this feature.
To program a garage door opener with the rolling code
feature, do the following:
1. Program your hand
-held transmitter to the universal
transmitter by following the steps provided under
ªProgramming the Transmitterº earlier in
this section.2. Remove the cover panel from the garage door
opener receiver. It is located near the garage door
opener motor.
3. Locate the training button on the garage door opener
receiver. The exact location and color will vary
among brands.
4. Press the training button on the garage door opener
receiver for one to two seconds.
5. Return to your vehicle and press the programmed
button on the universal transmitter until the red light
flashes rapidly (about two seconds).
6. Release the button, then press it again to confirm
that it was programmed to the garage door
opener receiver.
You may now use either the universal transmitter or the
hand-held transmitter to open your garage door. If you
still have difficulty in programming and require
assistance, please call 1
-800-355-3515.

Warning Lights, Gages
and Indicators
This part describes the warning lights and gages that
may be on your vehicle. The pictures will help you
locate them.
Warning lights and gages can signal that something is
wrong before it becomes serious enough to cause an
expensive repair or replacement. Paying attention to
your warning lights and gages could also save you or
others from injury.
Warning lights come on when there may be or is a
problem with one of your vehicle's functions. As you
will see in the details on the next few pages, some
warning lights come on briefly when you start the
engine just to let you know they're working. If you are
familiar with this section, you should not be alarmed
when this happens.
Gages can indicate when there may be or is a problem
with one of your vehicle's functions. Often gages and
warning lights work together to let you know when
there's a problem with your vehicle.When one of the warning lights comes on and stays on
when you are driving, or when one of the gages shows
there may be a problem, check the section that tells you
what to do about it. Please follow this manual's advice.
Waiting to do repairs can be costly
-- and even
dangerous. So please get to know your warning lights
and gages. They're a big help.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the key is turned to RUN or START, a chime will
come on for about eight 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
about 20 seconds, then it will
flash for about 55 seconds. If
the driver's belt is already
buckled, neither the chime
nor the light will come on.
