The vehicle may have the Universal Home Remote System. If there are three round Light Emitting Diode (LED) indicator lights above the Universal Home Remote buttons, follow the instructions below.
This system provides a way to replace up to three remote control transmitters used to activate devices such as garage door openers, security systems, and home automation devices.
Do not use this system with any garage door opener that does not have the stop and reverse feature. This includes any garage door opener model manufactured before April 1, 1982.
Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the transmitter. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person available to assist you in programming the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as, for future programming. You only need the original remote control transmitter for Fixed Code programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed buttons should be erased for security purposes. See "Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons" later in this section.
When programming a garage door, it is advised to park outside of the garage. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or security device you are programming.

To program another Rolling Code device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home automation device, repeat Steps 1-5, choosing a different function button in Step 3 than what you used for the garage door opener.

To program up to three devices:
Your hand held transmitter may have between eight to 12 dip switches depending on the brand of transmitter.
Your garage door opener receiver (motor head unit) may also have a row of dip switches that can be used when programming the Universal Home Remote. If the total number of switches on the motor head and hand held transmitter are different, or if the dip switch settings are different, use the dip switch settings on the motor head unit to program your Universal Home Remote. The motor head dip switch settings can also be used when you do not have the original hand held transmitter.
The switch positions on your hand-held transmitter may be labeled, as follows:
• | A switch in the up position may be labeled as "Up," "+," or "On." |
• | A switch in the down position may be labeled as "Down," "-," or "Off." |
• | A switch in the middle position may be labeled as "Middle," "0," or "Neutral." |
• | When a switch is in the up position, write "Left." |
• | When a switch is in the down position, write "Right." |
• | If a switch is set between the up and down position, write "Middle." |
• | The switch settings that you wrote down in Step 2 will now become the button strokes you enter into the Universal Home Remote in Step 4. Be sure to enter the switch settings that you wrote down in Step 2, in order from left to right, into the Universal Home Remote, when completing Step 4. |
• | If you wrote "Left," press the left button in the vehicle. |
• | If you wrote "Right," press the right button in the vehicle. |
• | If you wrote "Middle," press the middle button in the vehicle. |
To program another Fixed Code device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home automation device, repeat Steps 1-8, choosing a different button in Step 6 than what you used for the garage door opener.
Press and hold the appropriate button for at least half of a second. The indicator light comes on while the signal is being transmitted.
Operation can occur:
• | If the vehicle is in accessory mode. |
• | If the vehicle is running. |
• | If the vehicle is in Retained Accessory Mode (RAP). See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) for more information. |
• | Up to an additional 10 minutes after RAP finishes. |
• | Up to 10 minutes after any door is opened. |
You can reprogram any of the three buttons by repeating the instructions.
You should erase the programmed buttons when you sell or terminate your lease.
