Integrated universal remote 
control*
The concept
The integrated universal remote control can 
replace as many as three hand-held transmit-
ters for various remote -controlled accessories, 
such as garage and gate or lighting systems. 
The integrated universal remote control regis-
ters and stores signals from the original hand-
held transmitters.
The signal of an original hand-held transmitter 
can be programmed on one of the three mem-
ory buttons 1. Then with the ignition switched 
on, this programme d memory button1 can be 
used to operate the respective feature. The 
LED 2 flashes to confirm transmission of the 
signal.
Should you sell your vehicl e one day, be sure to 
delete the stored progra ms beforehand for your 
safety, refer to page 124.
To prevent possible damage or injury, 
before programming or using the inte-
grated universal remote  control, always inspect 
the immediate area to make certain that no peo-
ple, animals or objects  are within the travel 
range of the device. Also, comply with the 
safety precautions of  the original hand-held 
transmitter. <
Checking compatibility
If you see this symbol on the packaging

inal hand-held transmitter, it is safe to 
assume that it is compat ible with the integrated 
universal remote control.
