When indicator lamp:flashes green: pro-
gramming was successful. The next step is to
synchronize the rolling code.
XRelease button Bof remotec ontrolAof the
garage door drive.
If indicator lamp :lights up red: repeat the
programmingp rocess for the corresponding
button on the rear-view mirror. When doing
so, vary the distanc ebetween remotec ontrol
A and the rear-view mirror.
The required distanc ebetween remotec on-
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 not eofthe following instruc-
tions:
RCheck the transmitter frequenc yused by
garage door drive remotec ontrolAand
whether it is supported. The transmitter fre-
quency can usually be found on the back of
remotec ontrolAfor the garage door drive.
The integrated garage door opener is com-
patible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequenc yrange of 280 to
433 MHz.
RReplace the batteries in garage door remote
control A.This increases the likelihood that
garage door remotec ontrolAwill transmit a
stron gand precise signal to the integrated
garage door opener.
RWhen programming, hold remotec ontrolA
at varying distances and angles and from but-
tons ;to? which you are programming. Try
various angles at adistanc ebetween 2and
8i nches (5to 20 cm) or at the same angle but
at varying distances.
RIf another remotec ontrolAis available for
the same garage door drive, repeat the same
programmings teps with this remotec ontrol
A.B eforep erforming these steps, make sure
that new batteries have been installed in
garage door drive remotec ontrolA.
RNote that some remotec ontrols only transmit
for alimited amount of time (the indicator
lamp on t
he remotec
ontrol goes out). Press button
Bon remotec ontrolAagain 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 performst he function of the
garage door system remotec ontrol. Please also
read the operating instruction sfor the garage

as the button is pressed. The transmission is
halted after amaximum of ten seconds and
indicator lamp :lights up yellow.

Clearing the memory
Make sure that you clear the memory of the
integrated garage door opener before selling the
vehicle.

The vehicle will then use very little energy, thus
conserving battery power.
If the power supply has been interrupted, e.g. ifyou reconnect the battery, you will have to:
Rreset the function for automatically folding
the exterior mirrors in/out by folding the mir-
rors out once (
Ypage 89)
Rset the clock (see the Digital Operator's Man-
ual)
On vehicles with amultimedia system, the
time is set automatically.
Charging the battery
GWARNING
During charging and jump-starting, explosive
gases can escape from the battery. There is a risk of an explosion.
Particularly avoid fire, open flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Ensure there is sufficient
ventilation while charging and jump-starting.
Do not lean over abattery.
GWARNING
Battery acid is caustic. There is arisk of injury.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing. Do
not inhale any battery gases. Do not lean over
the battery. Keep children away from batter-
ies. Wash away battery acid immediately with
plenty of clean water and seek medical atten-
tion.
GWARNING
Ad ischarged battery can freeze at tempera-
tures below freezin gpoint. When jump-start-
ing the vehicle or charging the battery, gases can escape from the battery. There is arisk of
an explosion.
Allow the frozen battery to thaw out before
charging it or jump-starting.
!Only use battery chargers with amaximum
charging voltage of 14.8 V.
!Only charge the battery using the jump-
starting connection point.
The jump-starting connection point is in the
engine compartment. If the indicator/warning lamps do not light up at
low temperatures, it is very likely that the dis-
charged battery has frozen. In this case, you
may neither charge the battery nor jump-start
the vehicle. The service life of
athawed-out bat-
tery may be shorter .The starting characteristics
can be impaired, particularly at low tempera-
tures. Have the thawed-out battery checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Read the battery charger's operating instruc-
tions before charging the battery.
XOpen the hood.
XConnectt he battery charger to the positive
terminal and ground point in the same order
as when connectin gthe donor battery in the
jump-starting procedure (
Ypage 249).
