with Part 15, Subpart C, Section 209 of the FCC Rules. 
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and 
(2) this device must accept any interference received, 
including interference that may cause undesired 
operation.
WARNING: Changes or modification not expressly 
a p pr ove d  by  pa rt y  r e s po n si b l e  f or  c o mpl ia n c e  c o u l d  vo i d  
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Programming or reprogramming the integrated 
remote control:
1. Turn electronic key in steering lock to position 1 
or 2.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter of the 
d evice you wish  to train approxim ately 2 to 5 inch es 
(5 cm to 12 cm) away from the surface of the 
integrated remote control located on the inside rear 
view mirror, keeping the indicator lamp in view.3. Using both hands, simultaneously push the hand-
held transmitter button and the desired integrated 
remote control button. Do not release the buttons 
until completing step 4.
4. The indicator lamp on the integrated remote control 
will flash, first slowly and then rapidly. When the 
indicator lamp f lashes rapidly, both buttons may be 
released (the rapid flashing lamp indicates 
successful programming of the new frequency 
signal). To program the remaining two buttons, 
follow steps 1 though 4.
Note: 
If after repeated attempts, you do not successfully 
program the integrated remote control device to learn 
the signal of the hand-held transmitter, the garage door 
opener could be equipped with the “rolling code 
feature”.

Rolling code programming:
To train a garage door opener (or other rolling code 
devices) with the rolling code feature, follow these 
instructions after completing the “Programming” 
portion of this text. (A second person may make the 
following training procedures quicker and easier.)
1. Locate training button on the garage door opener 
motor head unit. Exact location and color of the 
button may vary by garage door opener brand. If 
there is difficulty locating the transmitting button, 
reference to garage door opener operator’s manual. 
2. Press “training” button on the garage door opener 
motor head unit (which activated the “training 
light”).
Note:
Following step 2, there are 30 seconds to initiate 
step 3.3. Firmly press and release the programmed 
integrated remote control transmit button. Press 
and release same 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.)
4. Confirm the garage door operation by pressing the 
programmed button on the integrated remote 
control transmitter. 
Canadian programming:
During programming, your hand-held transmitter may 
automatically stop transmitting. Continue to press and 
hold the integrated remote control transmitter button 
(note steps 2 through 4 in the “Programming” portion) 
while you press and re-press (“cycle”) your hand-held 
transmitter every two seconds until the frequency 
signal has been learned. The indicator lamp will flash 
slowly and then rapidly after several seconds upon 
successful training.

or 2.
2. Simultaneously holding down the left and right side 
buttons for approximately 20 seconds, or until the
