Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible (2005 year). Manual — part 7

WARNING!

Your motorized door or gate will open and close
while you are training the Universal Transceiver. Do
not train the transceiver if people or pets are in the
path of the door or gate. A moving door or gate can
cause serious injury or death to people and pets or
damage to objects.

2. Erase the factory test codes by pressing the two
outside buttons. Release the buttons when the light in the
Universal Transceiver begins to flash (about 20 seconds).

NOTE:

Step 2 does not have to be followed to program

additional hand held transmitters.

3. Choose one of the three Universal Transceiver buttons
to program. Place the hand held controller one to three
inches from the Universal Transceiver while keeping its
indicator light in view.

4. Using both hands, press the hand held transmitter
button and the desired Universal Transceiver button. Do
not release the buttons until step 5 has been completed.

NOTE:

Some entry gates and garage door openers may

require you to replace step 4 with the procedures listed
under Canadian Programming.

5. The indicator light in the Universal Transceiver will
begin to flash, first slowly and then rapidly. The rapid
flashing indicates successful programming. If after 90
seconds the indicator light does not flash rapidly or goes
out, return to step 1 and repeat the procedure. To train the
other buttons, repeat steps 3 and 4. Be sure to keep your
hand held transmitters in case you need to retrain the
Universal Transceiver.

NOTE:

If you do not successfully program the Uni-

versal Transceiver to learn the signal of your hand held
transmitter, refer to the Rolling Code Paragraph, or call
toll free for customer assistance at 1–800–355–3515, or
on the internet at www.homelink.com.

“Rolling Code” Programming

NOTE:

If your hand held transmitter appears to pro-

gram the Universal Transceiver, but your garage door or
other device does not operate, and your device was

manufactured after 1996, your garage door opener or
other device may have a “Rolling Code” system.

On garage door openers with the “Rolling Code” feature,
the transmitter code changes after each use to prevent the
copying of your code.

To check if your device is protected by a “Rolling Code”
system:

• Check the owner’s manual for the device for mention

of “Rolling Codes”.

• Press and hold the programmed button on the Univer-

sal Transceiver. If the Universal Transceiver indicator
light flashes rapidly and then stays on after 2 seconds,
the device has the “Rolling Code” feature.

To train a garage door opener (or other rolling code
equipped devices) with the rolling code feature, follow
these instructions after completing the Programming
portion of this text:

NOTE:

The assistance of a second person may make the

following programming procedure quicker and easier.

1. Locate the training button on the garage door motor
head unit. The exact location and color of the button may
vary by garage door opener manufacturer. If you have
difficulty in locating the training button, check your
garage door opener manual, or call 1-800-355-3515 or, on
the Internet, at www.homelink.com.

2. Press and hold the training button on the garage door
opener head unit. This will activate the “training” light.

NOTE:

After completing step 2, you have 30 seconds to

start step 3.

3. Return to the Universal Transceiver in the vehicle and
firmly press and release the garage door button. Press
and release the button a second time to complete the

training process. Some garage door openers may require
you to do this procedure a third time to complete the
training.

Your garage door opener should now recognize your
Universal Transceiver. The remaining two buttons may
now be programmed if this has not previously been
done. Refer to the Programming instructions. You may
use either your Universal Transceiver or your original
hand-held transmitter to open you garage door.

Canadian Programming/Gate Programming
Canadian frequency laws, and the technology of some
entry gates, require you to press and release the hand
held transmitter button every two seconds during pro-
gramming.

Continue to press and hold the Universal Transceiver
button while you press and release the hand held trans-
mitter button until the frequency signal has been learned.

110

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

The Universal Transceiver light will flash slowly and
then rapidly when the programming is successful.

NOTE:

When programming such a garage door opener

or gate, unplug the device to prevent possible damage to
the garage door or gate motor.

Operation
Press and hold the desired button on the Universal
Transceiver until the garage door or other device begins
to operate. The light in the display shows that the signal
is being transmitted. The hand held transmitter may also
be used at any time.

Reprogramming A Single Button

1. Press and hold the Universal Transceiver button to be
reprogrammed. Do not release until step 4 has been
completed.

2. When the indicator light begins to flash slowly (after
20 seconds) position the hand held transmitter one to
three inches away from the button to be trained.

3. Press and hold the hand held transmitter button.

4. The Universal Transceiver indicator light will begin to
flash, first slowly, then rapidly. When the indicator lights
begin to flash rapidly, release both buttons.

Security
If you sell your vehicle, be sure to erase the frequencies.

To erase all of the previously trained frequencies, hold
down both outside buttons until the indicator light
begins to flash.

This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules and with
RS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the

ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLETS
These three outlets include tethered caps, labeled with a
key symbol or battery symbol, indicating power source.
All outlets are protected by a single 20 Amp fuse.

The outlet that is located in the front of the center floor
console is a conventional cigar lighter outlet.

It will accept a cigar lighter unit, which is part of the
optional Smokers Package. To preserve the heating ele-
ment of the cigar lighter unit, do not hold the lighter in
the heating position. As a child safety precaution, this
outlet is powered by the ignition switch, only when the
switch is in the

⬙ON⬙ or ⬙ACCESSORY⬙ positions.

Power Outlet

112

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Another of the outlets is in the Accessory Switch Bank, in
the center of the instrument panel.

This outlet is powered directly by the battery, regardless
of the ignition switch position. All accessories connected
to this outlet should be removed or turned off when the
vehicle is not in use, to protect the battery against
discharge.

The third outlet is located in the right rear cargo area.

Power Outlet

Since this outlet is remote from the driver, it is powered
by the ignition switch, only when it is in the

⬙ON⬙ or

⬙ACCESSORY⬙ positions, to protect the battery against
discharge. Note: Neither of the power outlets will accept
a cigar lighter unit. They are intended only for accessory
usage.

Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off

CAUTION!

• Many accessories that can be plugged in draw

power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not
in use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent engine starting.

• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e. coolers,

vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.), will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently and with greater caution.

• After the use of high power draw accessories, or

long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.

CONSOLE FEATURES
The console has two front cup holders, a coin holder, 12
volt power outlet, and front and rear storage trays. There
are additional cup holders; one is molded in the center of
the console to hold large cups and the other is at the rear
of the console to serve passengers in the rear seat. The
floor console power outlet will also operate a conven-
tional cigar lighter unit (if equipped with an optional
Smoker’s Package).

CAUTION!

• Many accessories that can be plugged into the 12

volt power outlet, draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use; i.e. cellular phones,
etc. Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to
degrade battery life and/or prevent engine start-
ing.

• Accessories that draw higher power such as cool-

ers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc., will discharge
the battery even more quickly. Only use these
intermittently and with greater caution.

• After the use of high power draw accessories, or

long periods of the vehicle not being started,
(with accessories still plugged in), the vehicle
must be driven a sufficient length of time to allow
the generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.
