blind hooked in and the side windows opened simultaneously. The roller sunblind can jump
out of the retainers and spring back suddenly
when driving at high speeds, e.g. when driving on the motorway. This could damage the iner-
tia reel. Therefore, either close the side win-
dow or retract the roller sunblind before driv- ing at high speeds. X
To extend: pull the roller sunblind out by
tab :and hook it onto retainer ;at the rear
of the window. The roller sunblind can be hooked back into
place should it pop out from the top of the guide
rail.

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.
The garage door opener is only available for cer- tain countries. Observe the legal requirements
for each individual country.

Important safety notes G
WARNING
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. G
WARNING
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.

Press and hold button Bon remote control
A until indicator lamp :lights up green.
When indicator lamp :lights up green: pro-
gramming is finished.
When indicator lamp :flashes green: pro-
gramming was successful. The next step is to synchronise the rolling code (Y page 327).
X Release 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 may be required. You
should test every position for at least
25 seconds before trying another position.
Synchronising the rolling code
Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 326).
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronise 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 but-
ton may be placed at different locations depend- ing on the manufacturer. It is usually located on
the door drive unit on the garage ceiling.
Familiarise yourself with the garage door drive
operating instructions, e.g. under "Program-
ming of additional remote controls", before car-
rying out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within range 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.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y page 148).
X Get out of the vehicle.
X Press the programming button on the door
drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to initiate
the next step. X
Get into the vehicle.
X Press previously programmed button ;,=
or ? of the integrated garage door opener
until the door closes.
The rolling code synchronisation is then com- plete.
Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated garage door opener, please note the following:
R Check 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
remote control Afor the garage door drive.
R Replace the batteries in garage door remote
control A. This increases the likelihood that
garage door remote control Awill transmit a
strong and precise signal to the integrated
garage door opener in the rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold remote control A
at varying distances and angles from but-
tons ;to? which you are programming. Try
various angles at a distance between 5and
20 cm or at the same angle but at varying
distances.
R If another remote control Ais available for
the same garage door drive, perform the pro-
gramming steps again using this remote con- trol A. Before performing these steps, make
sure that new batteries have been fitted in
garage door drive remote control A.
R Note that some remote controls transmit only
for a limited period (the indicator lamp on theremote control goes out). Press button Bon
remote control Aagain before transmission
ends.
R Align the aerial cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.
Opening or closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated garage door
opener will assume the function of the garage
door system's remote control. Please also read
the operating instructions for the garage door
system. Features
