ing faster, this indicates that the button on
the interior rearview mirror has been pro‐
grammed.
If the LED does not flash faster after at least
60 seconds, change the distance between
the interior rearview mirror and the hand-
held transmitter and repeat the step. Sev‐
eral more attempts at different distances
may be necessary. Wait at least 15 seconds
between attempts.

rearview mirror buttons.
Special feature of the alternating-code
wireless system
If you are unable to operate the system after
repeated programming, please check if the sys‐
tem to be controlled features an alternating-
code system.
Read the system's operating manual, or press
the programmed button on the interior rear‐
view mirror longer. If the LED on the interior
rearview mirror starts flashing rapidly and then
stays lit constantly for 2 seconds, the system
features an alternating-code system. Flashing
and continuous illumination of the LED will re‐
peat for approximately 20 seconds.
For systems with an alternating-code system,
the universal garage door opener and the sys‐
tem also have to be synchronized.
Please read the operating manual of the sys‐
tem being set up for information on how to
synchronize the system.
Synchronizing is easier with the aid of a second
person.
To synchronize:1.Park the vehicle within range of the re‐
mote-controlled system.2.Program the relevant button on the interior
rearview mirror as described.3.Locate and press the synchronizing button
on the system being programmed. You
have approx. 30 seconds for the next step.4.Hold down the programmed button on the
interior rearview mirror for approximately
3 seconds and then release it. If necessary,
repeat this work step up to three times in
order to finish synchronization. Once syn‐
chronization is complete, the programmed
function will be carried out.
Reprogramming individual buttons
1.Switch on the ignition.2.Press and hold the interior rearview mirror
button to be programmed.3.As soon as the interior rearview mirror LED
starts flashing slowly, hold the hand-held
transmitter for the system to be controlled
approx. 1 to 3 in/2.5 to 8 cm away from the
buttons on the interior rearview mirror. The
required distance depends on the manual
transmitter.Seite 111Interior equipmentControls111

4.Likewise, press and hold the button of the
desired function on the hand-held trans‐
mitter.5.Release both buttons as soon as the interior
rearview mirror LED flashes more rapidly.
When the LED is flashing faster, this indi‐
cates that the button on the interior rear‐
view mirror has been programmed. The
system can then be controlled by the but‐
ton on the interior rearview mirror.
If the LED does not flash faster after at least
60 seconds, change the distance and re‐
peat the step. Several more attempts at dif‐
ferent distances may be necessary. Wait at
least 15 seconds between attempts.
Canada: if programming with the hand-
held transmitter was interrupted, hold
down the interior rearview mirror button
and repeatedly press and release the hand-
held transmitter button for 2 seconds.
