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 simultaneously press and hold the
LOCK
and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter for not more
than five seconds. The door locks should cycle to
confirm synchronization.
If the locks do not cycle, see
your retailer for service.
Liftgate
It can be dangerous to drive with the rear
window or liftgate 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 rear window or liftgate
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal between
the body and the rear window or liftgate:
0 Make sure all windows are shut.

system to its highest speed with the setting

Driver Information System
This system displays the outside air temperature, compass
direction and trip information in the overhead console.
The USNET (United States/metric) button allows you to
switch the display between the English and metric system.
The MODE button can be used to toggle between three
modes of operation:
OFF, COMPREMP and TRIP.
OFF: This 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 COMPmEMP 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:

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
COMPITEMP mode.

MODE button
will step you through the following
TRIP functions:

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.
To reset the trip computer, press the
MODE and USMET
buttons simultaneously for at least two seconds.
All
functions will be displayed for a half a second once the
system is reset. Reset can only be performed
in the AVG
ECON, FUEL USED and AVG SPEED modes. All three
modes are reset simultaneously.

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 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 Oldsmobile retailer.
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.
Note that 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.
Training a Garage Opener with a “Rolling
Code” Feature
If you programmed the universal transmitter, but the
garage door will not open, and
if your garage door opener
was manufactured after 1995,
YOLK garage door may have
a security feature that changes the “code” of your garage
door opener every time
it is opened or closed.
To determine if your garage door opener has this
“rolling code” 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
“Programming the Transmitter” earlier
in this section.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Remove the cover panel from the garage door opener
receiver.
It is located near the garage door opener motor.
Locate the training button on the garage door opener
receiver. The exact location and color will vary
among brands.
Press the training button on the garage door opener
receiver for one to two seconds.
Return to your vehicle and press the programmed
button on the universal transmitter
until the red light
flashes rapidly (about two seconds).
Release the button, then repress
it to confirm 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 1-800-355-35 15.
Accessories
Accessories for the universal transmitter are available
from the manufacturer of the
unit. If you would like
