trol.
RActivate climate control using theÃand

RSet the temperature to 72 ‡ (22 †).
ROnly use the defrosting function briefly until
the windshield is clear again.
ROnly use air-recirculation mode briefly, e.g. if
there are unpleasant outside odors or when in
a tunnel. The windows could otherwise fog up, since no fresh air is drawn into the vehicle in
air-recirculation mode.

gramming.
You will find further information in the garage

tions, e.g. the sections on "Synchronizing the

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 remote control to recognize the sig-
nal during programming. Comparable with
Canadian law, American garage door openers
also have a built-in "interruption".
If you live in Canada or have difficulties pro-
gramming the garage door opener (regardless of
where you live) when using the programming
steps, proceed as follows:

XKeep the transmitter button ( ;,=or?)
depressed until the integrated remote control
has been set up successfully.
XSimultaneously press transmitter button B
on the garage door remote control and hold
for 2 seconds. Then let go for 2 seconds,
press again and hold for 2 seconds.
XRepeat this sequence on transmitter button
B of the garage door remote control until the
frequency signal has been saved.
XIf the setup procedure is successful, indicator
lamp :flashes once slowly and goes out
after a few seconds.
XContinue with the other programming steps

If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the fol-
lowing:
RCheck the transmitter frequency of garage
door remote control A(which can usually be
found on the back of the remote control).
The integrated remote control is compatible
with devices that have units which operate in the frequency range of 280 to 390 MHz.
Rreplace the batteries in garage door remote
control A. This increases the probability of

strong and precise signal to the integrated
remote control on the rear-view mirror.
RWhen programming, hold garage door remote
control Aat varying distances and angles

from the transmitter button which you are
programming. Try various angles at a distance
between2and 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) or at the
same angle but at varying distances.
RIf there is another garage door remote control
for the same device, perform the program-
ming steps again using that garage door
opener. Before performing these steps, make
sure that new batteries have been installed in
the garage door remote control.
RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal trans-
mission.
