ing remote-controlled systems, e.g., the gaj
rage door, using the integrated universal rej mote control. There is a risk of injury or risk ofproperty damage. Make sure that the area ofmovement of the respective system is clear
during programming and operation. Also followthe safety instructions of the hand-held transj
mitter.'

proximately 20 seconds until the LED on
the interior mirror flashes. This erases all
programming of the buttons on the interior mirror.3.Hold the hand-held transmitter for the sysjtem to be controlled approx. 1 to 3 inj
ches/2.5 to 8 cm away from the buttons of
the interior mirror. The required distance
depends on the hand-held transmitter.4.Simultaneously press and hold the button
of the desired function on the hand-held transmitter and the button to be programj
med on the interior mirror. The LED on the
interior mirror will begin flashing slowly.5.Release both buttons as soon as the LED flashes more rapidly. The LED flashing
faster indicates that the button on the intej
rior mirror has been programmed.
If the LED does not flash faster after at
least 60 seconds, change the distance bej
tween the interior mirror and the hand-held transmitter and repeat the step. Several
more attempts at different distances may be necessary. Wait at least 15 seconds bej
tween attempts.
Canada: if programming with the hand- held transmitter was interrupted, hold
down the interior mirror button and repeatj
edly press and release the hand-held
transmitter button for 2 seconds.6.To program other functions on other butj
