On vehicles with this feature 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 assist with programming the transmitter.
Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles, as well as, for future programming. Only the original remote control transmitter is needed for Fixed Code programming. The programmed buttons should be erased when the vehicle is sold or the lease ends. See "Erasing Universal Home Remote Buttons" later in this section.
Park the vehicle outside of the garage when programming a garage door. Be sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or gate that is being programmed.

Most garage door openers sold after 1996 are Rolling Code units.
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:
Programming can only occur when the vehicle is running or in accessory mode.
To program another Rolling Code device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device, or home automation device, repeat Steps 1-6, choosing a different function button in Step 4 than what was used for the garage door opener.
If these instructions do not work, the garage door opener is probably a Fixed Code unit. Follow the Programming instructions that follow for a Fixed Code garage door opener.

The hand held transmitter can have between eight to 12 dip switches depending on the brand of transmitter.
The garage door opener receiver (motor head unit) could 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 the Universal Home Remote. The motor head dip switch settings can also be used when the original hand held transmitter is not available.
The switch positions on the hand-held transmitter could be labeled, as follows:
• | A switch in the up position could be labeled as "Up," "+," or "On." |
• | A switch in the down position could be labeled as "Down," "-," or "Off." |
• | A switch in the middle position could 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 written down in Step 3 now become the button strokes to be entered into the Universal Home Remote in Step 5. Be sure to enter the switch settings written down in Step 3, in order from left to right, into the Universal Home Remote, when completing Step 5. |
• | 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 1-9, choosing a different button in Step 7 than what was 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 in 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. |
Any of the three buttons can be reprogrammed by repeating the instructions.
The programmed buttons should be erased when the vehicle is sold or the lease ends.
