between remote control 001Eand the rear-
view mirror.
i If the indicator lamp flashes green after
successful programming, the garage door
system is using arolling code. After
programming, you must synchronize the
garage door opener integrated in the rear-
view mirror with the receiver of the garage
door system. Synchronizing the rolling code
Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y
page 299).

Notes on programming the remote
control
Canadia nradio frequency laws require a
"break "(or interruption )ofthetransmission
signals after broadcastin gfor afew seconds.
Therefore, these signals may no tlast long
enough for th eintegrate dgarag edoor
opener. The signal is no trecognized during
programming. Comparable with Canadian
law, some U.S.g arage door openers also
feature a"break".

Problems when programming
If you are experiencing problems
programmin gthe integrated garage door
opener on the rear-view mirror, take noteof
the following instructions:
R Check the transmitter frequenc yofgarage
door drive remot econtrol 001E.This can
usually be found on the back of the remote
control.
The integrated garage door opener is
compatible with devices that have units
which operate in the frequency range of
280to4 33MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control 001E.This increases the
likelihood that garage door remote control
001E will transmit astronga nd precis esignal
to the integrated garage door opene rinthe
rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold remote control
001E at varying distances and angles from the
button that you are programming. Try
various angles at adistance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
R If another remote control for the same
garage door drive is available, repeat the same programming steps with this remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
installed in garage door drive remote
control
001E.
R Note that some remote controls only
transmit for alimited amount of time (the
indicator lamp on the remote control goes
out). Press button 0025on remote control
001E again before transmission ends.
R Align the antennac able of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.

R Vehicles with aSmartKey: Care
311Maintenance and care Z

Do not remove the SmartKe
yfromt he
ignition lock. Do not open the driver's
door or front-passenge rdoor when the
