will need to use the programming button on
the door drive control panel. The program-
ming button may be placed at different loca-
tions, depending on the manufacturer. It is
usually located on the door drive unit on the
garage ceiling.
Familiarise yourself with the garage door
drive operating instructions, e.g. under "Pro-
gramming of additional remote controls",
before carrying out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within range of the
garage door or gate opener drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
objects are present within the sweep of the
door or gate.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition
lock (Y page 159).
X Get out of the vehicle.
