Control
Concept
The Universal Integrated Remote Control can
operate up to 3 functions of remote-controlled
systems such as garage door drives or lighting
systems. The Universal Integrated Remote
Control replaces up to 3 different hand-held
transmitters. To operate the remote control,
the buttons on the interior mirror must be pro#j
grammed with the desired functions. The
hand-held transmitter for the particular system
is required in order to program the remote con#j
trol.
Before selling the vehicle, delete the stored
functions for the sake of security.
Safety
information WARNING
Body parts can be jammed when operat#j
ing remote-controlled systems, e.g., the ga#j
rage door, using the integrated universal re#j 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 trans#j
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 sys#jtem to be controlled approx. 1 to 3 in#j
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 program#j
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 inte#j
rior mirror has been programmed.
If the LED does not flash faster after at
least 60 seconds, change the distance be#j
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 be#j
tween attempts.
Canada: if programming with the hand- held transmitter was interrupted, hold
down the interior mirror button and repeat#j
edly press and release the hand-held
transmitter button for 2 seconds.6.To program other functions on other but#j

Special
feature
of
the
rolling
code
wireless
system
If you are unable to operate the system after
repeated programming, please check if the system to be controlled features a rolling coderadio system.
Read the system's owner's manual, or press the programmed button on the interior mirror longer. If the LED on the interior mirror starts
flashing rapidly and then stays lit constantly for
2 seconds, the system features a rolling code
radio system. Flashing and continuous illumi#j
nation of the LED will repeat for approximately
20 seconds.
For systems with a rolling code radio system,
the universal remote control and the system also have to be synchronized.
Please read the owner's manual to find out
how to synchronize the system.
Synchronizing is easier with the aid of a sec#j
ond person.
Synchronizing the universal remote control
with the system:1.Park the vehicle within range of the re#j mote-controlled system.2.Program the relevant button on the interior
mirror as described.3.Locate and press the synchronizing button
on the system being programmed. You
have approx. 30 seconds for the next step.4.Hold down the programmed button on the
interior mirror for approximately 3 seconds
and then release it. If necessary, repeat this step up to three times in order to finish
synchronization. Once synchronization is
complete, the programmed function will be carried out.
