    							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.

    							•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.

    							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.
