GWARNING
Before programming the integrated remote
control to a garage door opener or gate
Features273Stowing and featuresZ

operator, make sure people and objects are
out of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. When
programming a garage door opener, the door
moves up or down. When programming a gate
operator, the gate opens or closes.
Do not use the integrated remote control with
any garage door opener that lacks safety stop
and reverse features as required by U.S.
federal safety standards (this includes any
garage door opener model manufactured
before April 1, 1982). A garage door that
cannot detect an object - signaling the door
to stop and reverse - does not meet current
U.S. federal safety standards.
When programming a garage door opener,
park vehicle outside the garage.
Do not run the engine while programming the
integrated remote control. Inhalation of
exhaust gas is hazardous to your health. All
exhaust gas contains carbon monoxide (CO),
and inhaling it can cause unconsciousness
and possible death. All exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can
cause unconsciousness and possible death.

Programming
Integrated garage door opener on the rear-view
mirror
Garage door remote control A is not part of
the integrated garage door opener.
i To achieve the best result, insert new
batteries in garage door remote control
A before programming.
XThe first time before programming, clear
the integrated garage door opener memory
( Y page 276).XTurn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.XPress and hold one of transmitter
buttons ; to ? on the integrated garage
door opener.
After a short time, indicator lamp : will
start flashing. It flashes approximately
once per second.
i Indicator lamp : flashes immediately
the first time that the transmitter button is
programmed. If the transmitter button is
already programmed, indicator lamp :

flashes once per second only after
20 seconds.XContinue to hold the transmitter button.XPoint transmitter button B of garage door
remote control A towards the transmitter
buttons on the rear-view mirror at a
distance of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 20 cm).
i The distance required between garage
door remote control A and the integrated
garage door opener depends on the system
of the garage door drive. You might require
several attempts. You should test every
position for at least 20 seconds before
trying another position.
XPress and hold transmitter button B on
garage door remote control A until
indicator lamp : flashes rapidly.
Programming was successful if indicator
lamp : flashes rapidly.XRelease transmitter button ;, = or ? on
the integrated garage door opener and
transmitter button B on garage door
remote control A.
If indicator lamp : goes out after
approximately 20 seconds and did not flash
rapidly before this:
XRepeat the programming procedure for the
transmitter button. When doing so, vary the
distance between the garage door remote
control and the rear-view mirror.
i If the garage door system works with a
rolling code, you must synchronize the
integrated garage door opener on the rear-
view mirror with the receiver of the garage
door system after programming.
You will find further information in the
garage door opening system's operating
instructions, e.g. the sections on
"Synchronizing the transmitter" or
"Registering a new transmitter". You can
also call the hotline mentioned above.
Notes on programming the remote
control
Canadian radio frequency laws require a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals a few seconds after broadcasting.
These signals may not therefore last long
enough for the integrated garage door opener
to recognize the signal during programming.
Comparable with Canadian law, some U.S.
garage door openers also have a built-in
"interruption".
If you live in Canada or have difficulties
programming the garage door opener
(regardless of where you live) when using the
programming steps (see above), proceed as
follows:XPress transmitter button ;, = or ? and
hold it down during the following steps until
the setup has been completed
successfully.XAdditionally, press transmitter button B
on the garage door remote control and hold
it for two seconds, then release for two
seconds, then press again and hold for two
seconds.XRepeat this sequence of steps on
transmitter button B remote control of the
garage door until the frequency signal has
been learned.XIf the setup procedure is successful,
indicator lamp : flashes once slowly and
goes out after a few seconds.XContinue with the other programming
steps (see above).
Problems when programming
If you are experiencing problems
programming the integrated garage door
opener on the rear-view mirror, take note of
the following instructions:
R check the transmission frequency of
garage door remote control A (usually
found on the reverse side of the remote
control).
Features275Stowing and featuresZ

The integrated garage door opener is
compatible with devices that operate at
frequencies between 280 and 390 MHz.
R change the batteries in garage door remote
control A. This increases the probability
that garage door remote control A will
send a strong and precise signal to the
integrated garage door opener on the rear-
view mirror.
R while programming, hold garage door
remote control A at different distances
and angles from the transmitter button that
you are programming. Try different angles
at distances between 2 and 12 inches (5 to
30 cm) or the same angle at different
distances.
R if another remote control for the same
garage door drive is available, repeat the
same programming steps with this remote
control. Before you perform the steps of the
operation, make sure that there are new
batteries in the garage door remote
control.
R align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.
Opening/closing the garage door
Once programmed, the integrated remote
control will assume the function of the garage
door system's remote control. Please also
read the operating instructions for the garage
door system.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.XPress transmitter button ;, = or ? in the
overhead control panel that you have
programmed to operate the garage door.
