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 Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control A.This increases the like-
lihood that garage door remote control A
will transmit a strong and precise signal to
the integrated garage door opener in the
rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold remote control
A at varying distances and angles from the
button which you are programming. Try var-
ious angles at a distance between 5and
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.

opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.

Do not park up the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleaning it, particularly
after having cleaned the wheels with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you
should drive for a few minutes after clean-
ing. Braking heats the brake discs and the
brake pads/linings, thus drying them. The
vehicle can then be parked up.
