the radio-frequency signal.
Programming the Universal
Home Remote System
For questions or help programming
the Universal Home 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. From inside the vehicle, press
and hold down the two outside
buttons at the same time,
releasing only when the
Universal Home Remote
indicator light begins to flash,
after 20 seconds. This step will
erase the factory settings or all
previously programmed buttons.
Do not hold down the buttons for
longer than 30 seconds and do
not repeat this step to program
the remaining two Universal
Home Remote buttons. 2. Hold the end of your hand-held
transmitter about 3 to 8 cm
(1 to 3 inches) away from the
Universal Home Remote buttons
while keeping the indicator
light in view. The hand-held
transmitter was supplied by the
manufacturer of your garage
door opener receiver (motor
head unit).
3. At the same time, press and hold both the Universal Home
Remote button to be used to
control the garage door and the
hand-held transmitter button.
Do not release the Universal
Home Remote button or the
hand-held transmitter button until
Step 4 has been completed.
Some entry gates and garage
door openers may require
substitution of Step 3 with the
procedure noted in “Gate
Operator and Canadian
Programming” later in this
section.

4. The indicator light on theUniversal Home Remote will
flash slowly at first and then
rapidly after Universal Home
Remote successfully receives
the frequency signal from the
hand-held transmitter. Release
both buttons.
5. Press and hold the newly-trained Universal Home Remote button
and observe the indicator light.
.If the indicator light stays
on continuously, the
programming is complete
and the garage door should
move when the Universal
Home Remote button is
pressed and released.
There is no need to
continue programming
Steps 6 through 8.
.If the Universal Home
Remote indicator light
blinks rapidly for
two seconds and then
turns to a constant
light, continue with the
programming Steps 6
through 8.
It may be helpful to have
another person assist with
the remaining steps.
6. After Steps 1 through 5 havebeen completed, locate inside
the garage the garage door
opener receiver (motor-head
unit). Locate the “Learn”or
“Smart” button. The name and
color of the button may vary by
manufacturer.
7. Firmly press and release the “Learn” or“Smart” button. After
you press this button, you will
have 30 seconds to complete
Step 8.

8. Immediately return to thevehicle. Firmly press and hold
the Universal Home Remote
button, selected in Step 3 to
control the garage door, for
two seconds, and then release
it. If the garage door does not
move, press and hold the
same button a second time for
two seconds, and then release
it. Again, if the door does not
move, press and hold the
same button a third time for
two seconds, and then release.
The Universal Home Remote
should now activate the
garage door.
To program the remaining
two Universal Home Remote
buttons, begin with Step 2 of
“Programming the Universal Home
Remote System.” Do not repeat
Step 1, as this will erase all
previous programming from the
Universal Home Remote buttons.Gate Operator and Canadian
Programming
If you have questions or need
help programming the Universal
Home 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 Universal Home
Remote 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 Universal
Home Remote” procedures,
regardless of where you live,
replace Step 3 under “Programming
Universal Home Remote” with the
following:
Continue to press and hold the
Universal Home Remote 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 Home Remote. The
Universal Home Remote indicator
light will flash slowly at first and then
rapidly. Proceed with Step 4 under
“Programming Universal Home
Remote” to complete the training
procedure.

the lease ends.To erase all programmed buttons on
the Universal Remote device:
1. Press and hold down the
two outside buttons until the
indicator light begins to flash,
after 20 seconds.

Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can
make it easier for others to see the
front of your vehicle during the day.
Fully functional daytime running
lamps are required on all vehicles
first sold in Canada.
Page 148 of 410

6-4 Lighting
The DRL system comes on when
the following conditions are met:
.The ignition is on.
.The exterior lamps control is
in AUTO.
.The transmission is not in
P (Park), if the vehicle has an
automatic transmission.
.The light sensor determines it is
daytime.
When the DRL are on, no other
lamps are on. The instrument panel
will not be lit up either. For vehicles
first sold in Canada, if parking lamps
are manually turned on, DRL will
stay on.
When it begins to get dark, the
automatic headlamp system
changes from DRL to the
headlamps.
The regular headlamp system
should be turned on when needed.
To turn off the DRL, see Exterior
Lamp Controls
on page 6‑1. Vehicles first sold in Canada
cannot turn off DRL unless certain
conditions are met. See
Exterior
Lamp Controls on page 6‑1.
Automatic Headlamp
System
When it is dark enough outside, the
automatic headlamp system turns
on after the transmission has been
shifted from P (Park) to D (Drive).
The headlamps, taillamps,
sidemarker, parking lamps, roof
marker lamps, and the instrument
panel lights turn on at normal
brightness. The radio lights will
become dimmer when the
headlights are off compared to
when the headlights are on.
The vehicle has a light sensor
located on the top of the instrument
panel. Do not cover the sensor,
or the system will be on whenever
the ignition is on. The system can turn on the
headlamps when driving in a
parking garage, through a tunnel or
when there is overcast weather.
This is normal.
There is a delay in the transition
between the daytime and nighttime
operation of the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL) and the automatic
headlamp system so that driving
under bridges or bright overhead
street lights does not affect the
system. The DRL and automatic
headlamp system will only be
affected when the light sensor
detects a change in lighting lasting
longer than the delay.
If the vehicle is started in a dark
garage, the automatic headlamp
system comes on immediately.
Once the vehicle leaves the garage,
it takes about one minute for the
automatic headlamp system to
change to DRL if it is light outside.

Lighting 6-5
During that delay, the instrument
panel cluster may not be as bright
as usual. Make sure the instrument
panel brightness control is in the
full bright position. SeeInstrument
Panel Illumination Control
on
page 6‑7.
Hazard Warning Flashers
|
(Hazard Warning Flasher):
Press this button located on the
instrument panel, to make the front
and rear turn signal lamps flash on
and off. This warns others that you
are having trouble.
Press
|again to turn the
flashers off.
Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
An arrow on the instrument panel
cluster flashes in the direction of the
turn or lane change.
Move the lever all the way up or
down to signal a turn.
Raise or lower the lever until the
arrow starts to flash to signal a
lane change. Hold it there until the
change is completed. The lever returns to its starting
position whenever it is released.
If after signaling a turn or a lane
change the arrow flashes rapidly or
does not come on, a signal bulb
may be burned out.
Have the bulbs replaced. If the bulb
is not burned out, check the fuse.
For bulb replacement, see
Bulb
Replacement
on page 10‑35. For a
blown fuse or circuit breaker, see
Fuses and Circuit Breakers
on
page 10‑39.
Turn Signal On Chime
If a turn signal is left on for more
than 3/4 of a mile (1.2 km), a chime
sounds at each flash of the turn
signal and the message TURN
SIGNAL will also appear in the DIC.
To turn the chime and message off,
move the turn signal lever to the off
position.
See “TURN SIGNAL” underLamp
Messages on page 5‑24.

Fog Lamps
The fog lamp button is located in the
exterior lamps control.
#(Fog Lamps):The headlamps
or parking lamps must be on for the
fog lamps to work. Press
#to turn
the fog lamps on or off. An indicator
light turns on when the fog lamps
are on.
Never use the fog lamps in the dark
without turning on the headlamps.
When the high-beam headlamps
are turned on, the fog lamps turn off
automatically. When the high-beam
headlamps are turned off, the fog
lamps come on again.
Some localities have laws that
require the headlamps to be on
along with the fog lamps.
Off-Road Lamps
For vehicles with off-road lamps,
they provide auxiliary lighting when
the vehicle is used off road. These
lamps are not intended to be used
in place of existing vehicle lighting.
They are not to be used on any
public street or highway and are to
be covered when not in use. Check
your state and local laws before
installing or using any auxiliary
lighting. In some states it may be
necessary to remove the roof lamps
when operating the vehicle on the
highway.
The off-road lamps button is located
on the instrument panel below the
climate controls.
Remove the covers from the lamps
and press the button to turn them
on or off. An indicator light turns on
when the lamps are on.
