~ To end rolling code programming, press and hold the button again for 2 seconds.
~ With some systems, the button may need to be
pressed a third time to end the programming
process .
After programming, the system should detect
the signal and beg in mov ing when the button in
the roof headliner is pressed . Now you may pro­
gram the other buttons as needed.
(D Tips
- The rolling code can be programmed more
quickly and more easily with the help of a
second person.
