Programming or reprogramming the integrated 
remote control:
1. Turn key in starter switch to position 1 or 2.
2. Hold the end of the hand-held transmitter of the 
device you wish to train approximately 2 to 5 inches 
(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 flashes 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 through 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 activates the “training 
light”). 

133 Tele Aid
Te ch n i c a l

cluster displayPractical hints Car care Index Emergency calls
An emergency call is initiated automatically:
•following an accident in which the Emergency 
Tensioning Retractors (ETR’s) or airbags deploy,
•if the antitheft alarm or the tow away alarm stays on 
for more than 20 seconds, see pages 35 and 37.
An emergency call can also be initiated manually by 
opening the cover next to the inside rear view mirror 
labeled “SOS”, then briefly pressing the button located 
under the cover. See below for instructions on initiating 
an emergency call manually.
Once the emergency call is in progress, the indicator 
lamp in the “SOS” button will begin to flash. All 
information relevant to the emergency, such as the 
location of the vehicle (determined by the GPS satellite 
location system), vehicle model, identification number 
and color are generated.
A voice connection between the Response Center and 
the occupants of the vehicle will be established 
automatically soon after the emergency call has been 
initiated. When a voice connection is established the 
audio system mutes. The Response Center will attempt 
to determine more precisely the nature of the accident 
provided they can speak to an occupant of the vehicle.The Tele Aid system is available if:
•it has been activated and is operational. Activation 
requires a subscription for monitoring services and 
cellular air time
•the relevant cellular phone network and GPS signals 
are available and pass the information on to the 
Response Center.
Note:
Location of the vehicle on a map is possible if the 
vehicle is able to receive signals from the GPS satellite 
network and pass the information on to the Response 
Center.
Wa r n i n g !
If the indicator lamp in the “SOS” button is 
illuminated continuously and there was no voice 
connection to the Response Center established, 
then the Tele Aid system could not initiate an 
emergency call (e.g. the relevant cellular phone 
network is not available).Should this occur, assistance must be summoned 
by other means.
