Car2UHome Automation System (if equipped) The Car2UHome Automation System is a universal transmitter located in the driver’s visor that includes two primary features – a garage door opener and a platform for remote activation of devices within the home. The Car2U system’s garage door opener function replaces the common hand-held garage door opener with a three-button transmitter that is integrated into the interior of your vehicle. After being programmed for garage doors, the Car2Usystem transmitter can be programmed to operate security devices and home lighting systems. WARNING:Make sure that people and objects are clear of the garage door or security device you are programming. Do not program the Car2Usystem with the vehicle in the garage. Do not use the Car2Usystem with any garage door opener that lacks safety stop and reverse features as required by U.S. Federal Safety Standards (this includes any garage door opener manufactured before April 1, 1982). Be sure to keep the original remote control transmitter for use in other vehicles as well as for future Car2Usystem programming. It is also recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the programmed Car2Usystem buttons should be erased for security reasons. Refer toErasing the Car2UHome Automation System buttonslater in this section. Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the Car2Usystem. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have another person assist you in programming the transmitter. Additional Car2Usystem information can be found on-line at www.learcar2U.com or by calling the toll-free Car2Usystem help line at 1-866-572-2728. Types of garage door openers (rolling code and fixed code) The Car2UHome Automation System may be programmed to operate rolling code and fixed code garage door openers. •Rolling code garage door openers were produced after 1996 and are code protected. Rolling code means the coded signal is changed every time your remote control garage door opener is used. Driver Controls 102 2010 Taurus(500) Owners Guide(own2002), 1st Printing USA(fus)
•Fixed code garage door openers were produced prior to 1996. Fixed code uses the same coded signal every time. It is manually programmed by setting DIP switches for a unique personal code. If you do not know if your garage door opener is a rolling code or fixed code device, open your garage door opener’s remote control battery cover. If a panel of DIP switches is present your garage door opener is a fixed code device. If not, your garage door opener is a rolling code device. Rolling code programming Note:Programming the rolling code garage door opener involves time-sensitive actions. Read the entire procedure prior to beginning so you will know which actions are time-sensitive. If you do not follow the time-sensitive actions, the device will time out and you will have to repeat the procedure. Note:Do not program the Car2Usystem with the vehicle in the garage. Make sure that your key is on and engine off while programming the transmitter. 1. Firmly press the two outer Car2Usystem buttons for 1–2 seconds, then release. 12 34 5 6789 1 01 1 1 2 C TS 20 6-12 T 124 O N Driver Controls 103 2010 Taurus(500) Owners Guide(own2002), 1st Printing USA(fus)
2. Go to the garage to locate the garage door opener motor and its “learn” button. You may need a ladder to reach the unit and you may need to remove the unit’s cover or light lens to locate the “learn” button. Press the “learn” button, after which you will have 10–30 seconds to return to your vehicle and complete the following steps. If you cannot locate the “learn” button, refer to the Owner’s Guide of your garage door opener or call the toll-free Car2Usystem help line at 1-866-57Car2U (1-866-572-2728). 3. Return to your vehicle. Press and hold the Car2Usystem button you would like to use to control the garage door. You may need to hold the button from 5–20 seconds, during which time the selected button indicator light will blink slowly. Immediately (within 1 second) release the button once the garage door moves. When the button is released, the indicator light will begin to blink rapidly until programming is complete. 4. Press and release the button again. The garage door should move, confirming that programming is successful. If your garage door does not operate, repeat the previous steps in this section. After successful programming, you will be able to operate your Car2U system by pressing the button you programmed to activate the opener. The indicator light above the selected button will turn on to confirm that the Car2Usystem is responding to the button command. To program another rolling code device such as an additional garage door opener, a security device or home lighting, repeat Steps 1 through 4 substituting a different function button in Step 3 than what you used for the garage door opener. For example, you could assign the left-most button to the garage door, the center button to a security device, and the right-most button to another garage door opener.
