Car2U ா Home Automation System (if equipped)
The Car2U
௡ Home 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 Car2U
௡ system 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 Car2U
௡ system with the vehicle in the garage.
Do not use the Car2U
௡ system 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 Car2U
௡ system programming. It is also
recommended that upon the sale or lease termination of the vehicle, the
programmed Car2U
௡ system buttons should be erased for security
reasons. Refer to Erasing the Car2U
௡ Home Automation System
buttons later in this section.
Read the instructions completely before attempting to program the
Car2U
௡ system. Because of the steps involved, it may be helpful to have
another person assist you in programming the transmitter.
Additional Car2U
௡ system information can be found on-line at
www.learcar2U.com or by calling the toll-free Car2U
௡ system help line at
1-866-572-2728.
Types of garage door openers (rolling code and fixed code)
The Car2U
௡ Home 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.
