Garage door opener
General notes
The HomeLink®garage door opener integrated
in the rear-view mirror allows you to operate up
to three different door and gate systems.
Use the integrated garage door opener only on
garage doors that:
Rhave safety stop and reverse features and
Rmeet current U.S. federal safety standards
Once programed, the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror will assume the
function of the garage door system's remote
control. Please also read the operating instruc-
tions for the garage door system.
When programming a garage door opener, park
the vehicle outside the garage. Do not run the
engine while programming.
Certain garage door drives are incompatible
with the integrated garage door opener. If you
have difficulty programing the integrated garage

Important safety notes
GWARNING
When you operate or program the garage door
with the integrated garage door opener, per-
sons in the range of movement of the garage
door can become trapped or struck by the
garage door. There is a risk of injury.
When using the integrated garage door
opener, always make sure that nobody is
within the range of movement of the garage
door.
GWARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases leads to poisoning. There
is a risk of fatal injury. Therefore never leave
the engine running in enclosed spaces with-
out sufficient ventilation.

Several attempts might be necessary. You
should test every position for at least
25 seconds before trying another position.
Synchronizing the rolling code
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Ypage 327).
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronize the garage
door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this you will
need to use the programming button on the door
drive control panel. The programming button
may be located in different places depending on
the manufacturer. It is usually located on the
door drive unit on the garage ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door drive
operating instructions, e.g. under "Program-
ming additional remote controls", before carry-
ing out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach of the garage
door or gate opener drive. Make sure that nei-
ther your vehicle nor any persons/objects are
present within the sweep of the door or gate.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the ignition
lock (Ypage 146).
XGet out of the vehicle.
XPress the programming button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to initiate
the next step.
XGet into the vehicle.
XPress previously programmed button ;,=
or ? on the integrated garage door opener
repeatedly and in quick succession until the
door closes.
The rolling code synchronization is then com- plete.
Notes on programming the remote con-
trol
Canadian radio frequency laws require a "break"(or interruption) of the transmission signals
after broadcasting for a few seconds. Therefore,
these signals may not last long enough for the
integrated garage door opener. The signal is not recognized during programming. Comparable
with Canadian law, some U.S. garage door open-
ers also feature a "break". Proceed as follows:
Rif you live in Canada
Rif you have difficulties programming the
garage door opener (regardless of where you
live) when using the programming steps
XPress and hold one of buttons

integrated garage door opener.
After a short time, indicator lamp :lights up
yellow.
XRelease the button.
Indicator lamp :flashes yellow.
XPress button Bof garage door remote con-
trol Afor two seconds, then release it for two

XPress button Bagain for two seconds.
XRepeat this sequence on button Bof remote

When indicator lamp :lights up green: pro-
gra mming i

When indicator lamp :flashes green: pro-
gramming was successful. The next step is to
synchronize the rolling code.
XRelease button Bof remote control Aof the
garage door drive.
If indicator lamp :lights up red: repeat the
programming process for the corresponding
button on the rear-view mirror. When doing
so, vary the distance between remote control
A and the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between remote con-
trol Aand the integrated garage door opener
depends on the garage door drive system.
Several attempts might be necessary. You
should test every position for at least
25 seconds before trying another position.
Problems when programming
If you are experiencing problems programing
the integrated garage door opener on the rear-
view mirror, take note of the following instruc-
tions:
RCheck the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive remote control Aand
whether it is supported. The transmitter fre-
quency can usually be found on the back of
the garage door drive remote control.
The integrated garage door opener is com-
patible with devices that have units which
328Features
Stowage and features

operate in the frequency range of 280 to
433 MHz.
RReplace the batteries in garage door remote
controlA. This increases the likelihood that
garage door remote control Awill transmit a
strong and precise signal to the integrated
garage door opener.
RWhen programming, hold remote control A
at varying distances and angles from the but-
ton which you are programming. Try various
angles at a distance between 2and 12 inches
(5to 30 cm) or at the same angle but at varying
distances.
RIf another remote control is available for the
same garage door drive, repeat the same pro-
gramming steps with this remote control.
Before performing these steps, make sure
that new batteries have been installed in
garage door drive remote control A.
RNote that some remote controls only transmit
for a limited amount of time (the indicator
lamp on the remote control goes out). Press
buttonBon remote control Aagain before
transmission ends.
RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.
Opening/closing the garage door
After it has been programmed, the integrated
garage door opener performs the function of the
garage door system remote control. Please also
read the operating instructions for the garage
door system.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the ignition
lock (Ypage 146).
XPress button ;,=or? which you have
programmed to operate the garage door.
Garage door system with a fixed code: indi-
cator lamp :lights up green.

The transmitter will transmit a signal as long
as the button is pressed. The transmission is
halted after a maximum of ten seconds and
indicator lamp :lights up yellow.
XPress button ;,=or? again if necessary.
Clearing the memory
Make sure that you clear the memory of the
integrated garage door opener before selling the
vehicle.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the ignition
lock (Ypage 146).
XPress and hold buttons ;and ?.
The indicator lamp initially lights up yellow
and then green.
XRelease buttons ;and ?.
The memory of the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror is cleared.
Floormats
GWARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can restrict the pedal travel or obstruct a depressed pedal.
The operating and road safety of the vehicle is
jeopardized. There is a risk of an accident.
Make sure that all objects in the vehicle are
stowed correctly, and that they cannot enter
the driver's footwell. Install the floormats
securely and as specified in order to ensure
sufficient clearance for the pedals. Do not use
loose floormats and do not place floormats on
top of one another.
XSlide the relevant seat back.
XTo install: place the floormat in the footwell.
XPress studs :onto retainers ;.
XTo remove:pull the floormat off retainers ;.
