Important safety notes G
WARNING
When you operate or program the garage door with the integrated garage door opener, per-
sons in the range of movemen tofthe garage
door can become trapped or struck by the
garage door. There is arisk of injury.
When using the integrated garage door
opener, alway smake sure that nobody is
within the range of movemen tofthe garage
door. G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases leads to poisoning. There is ar isk of fatal injury. Therefore never leave
the engine runnin ginenclosed spaces with-
out sufficient ventilation.
Programming Programming buttons
Pay attention to the "Importan
tsafety notes"
(Y page 369). Garage door remot

lock (Y page 179).
X Select one of buttons ;to? to control
the garage door drive.
X To startp rogramming mode: press and
hold one of buttons ;to? of the inte-
grated garage door opener.
The garage door opener is now in program- ming mode. After ashort time, indicator

Indicator lamp :lights up yellow immedi-
ately the first time button ;,=or? is
programmed. If the selected button has
already been programmed, indicator

Yo us houl dteste very positio nfor at least
25 second sbefore trying another position.
Synchronising the rolling code
Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 369).
If the garage door system uses arolling code,
you will also have to synchronise the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror .Todothis you
will need to use the programming button on
the door drive control panel. The program-
ming button may be placed at differen tloca-
tion sdepending on the manufacturer. It is
usually located on the door drive unit on the
garage ceiling.
Familiarise yourself with the garage door
drive operatin ginstructions, e.g. under "Pro-
grammin gofadditional remot econtrols",
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 179).
X Get out of the vehicle.
X Press the programming button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to ini-
tiate the nexts tep. X
Get intot he vehicle.
X Press previously programmed button ;,
= or? of the integrated garage door
opener until the door closes.
The rolling code synchronisation is then
complete.
Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated garage door opener, please note
the following: R Check the transmitter frequenc yused by
garage door drive remot econtrol Aand
whether it is supported. The transmitter
frequenc ycan usually be found on the back
of the garage door drive remot econtrol.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remot econtrol A.This increases the like-
lihood that garage door remot econtrol A
will transmit astrong and precise signal to
the integrated garage door opener in the
rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold remot econtrol
A at varying distances and angles from the
button which you are programming. Try var- ious angles at adistanc ebetween 5and
30 cm or at the same angle but at varying
distances.
R If ther eisanother remot econtrol for the
same garage door drive, perform the pro-
grammin gsteps again using this remote
control. Befor eperforming these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
fitted in garage door drive remot econtrol
A.
R Note that some remot econtrols transmit
only for alimited period (the indicator lamp
on the remot econtrol goes out). Press but-
ton Bon remot econtrol Aagain before
transmission ends.
R Align the aerial cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission. 370
