i If the indicator lamp flashes green after
successful programming, the garage door
system is using a rolling code. After pro-
gramming, you must synchronise the
garage door opener integrated in the rear-
view mirror with the receiver of the garage
door system.
Synchronising the rolling code
Your vehicle must be within reach of the
garage door or exterior gate drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
objects are present within the sweep of the
door or gate.
Observe the safety notes when performing
the rolling code synchronisation
(Y page 315).
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock.
X Press the programming button of the door
or gate drive (see the door or gate drive
operating instructions, e.g. under "Pro-
gramming of additional remote controls").
i Usually, you now have 30seconds to ini-
tiate the next step.
X Press previously programmed button ;,
= or? of the integrated garage door
opener until the door starts to move.
The rolling code synchronisation is then
complete. Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated garage door opener, please note
the following:
R
Check the transmitter frequency of garage
door drive remote control A.This can usu-
ally be found on the back of the remote
control.
R Change the batteries in garage door remote
control A.This increases the likelihood
that remote control Awill send a strong
and precise signal to the integrated garage
door opener.
R When programming, hold remote control
A at varying distances and angles from the
button that you are programming. Try vari-
ous angles at a distance of between
5 and 30 cm or at the same angle but at
varying distances.
R If there is another remote control for the
same garage door drive, perform the pro-
gramming steps again using this remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
fitted in garage door drive remote control
A.
R Note that some remote controls transmit
only for a limited period (the indicator lamp
on the remote control goes out). Press but-
ton Bon remote control Aagain before
transmission ends.
R Align the aerial cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.
Opening or closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated garage
door opener will assume the function of the
garage door system's remote control. Please
also read the operating instructions for the
garage door system. 316
