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:

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.

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.

GWAR NING
Many cleaning products can behazardous.
So me are poisonous, others are flammable.
Alwa ys follow the instructions on the particu-
lar container. Always open your veh icle's
doors or windows when cleaning the ins ide.
Never use fluids or solvents that are not
designed for cleaning your veh icle.
Always lock away cleaning products and keep

!For cleaning your vehicle, donot use any of
the following:
Rdry, rough or hard cloths
Rabrasive cleaning agents
Rsolvents
Rcleaning agents containing solvents
Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective films
wit h hard objects, e.g. a ring or ice scraper.
You could otherwise scratch or damage the
surfaces and protective film.
!Do not park the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleaning it, particularly
after having cleaned the wheels with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you
should drive for a few minutes after cleaning.
Braking heats the brake discs and the brake
pads/linings, thus drying them. The vehicle
can then beparked.

cloths in an environmentally responsible man-
ner.
Regular care of your vehicle isa condition for
retaining the quality in the long term.

Battery (vehicle)
Important safety notes
Special tools and expert knowledge are required
when working on the battery, e.g. removal and
installation. You should therefore have all work
involving the battery carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
GWARNING
Work carried out incorrectly on the battery
can lead, for example, to a short circuit and
thus damage the vehicle electronics. This can
lead to function restrictions applying to
safety-relevant systems, e.g the lighting sys-
tem, the ABS (anti-lock braking system) or the
ESP
®(Electronic Stability Program). The oper-
ating safety of your vehicle may be restricted.
You could lose control of the vehicle, for
example:
Rwhen braking
Rin the event of abrupt steering maneuvers
and/or when the vehicle's speed is not
adapted to the road conditions
There is a risk of an accident.
In the event of a short circuit or a similar inci-
dent, contact a qualified specialist workshop
immediately. Do not drive any further. You
