25 seconds before trying another position.
Synchronizing the rolling code Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
( Y
page 317).
If the garage door system uses a rolling code,
you will also have to synchronize 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 button
may be located in different places depending on
the manufacturer. It is usually located on the
door drive unit on the garage ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door drive
operating instructions, e.g. under "Program-
ming additional remote controls", before carry-
ing out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach of the garage
door or gate opener drive. Make sure that nei-

Infrared reflective windshield
The infrared reflecting glass prevents the vehi-
cle interior from becoming too hot. It also blocks
radio waves up into the gigahertz range.
To enable operation of radio-controlled equip-
ment, e.g. toll recording systems, areas on the
windshield are permeable to radio waves C . In
these areas, you can install radio-controlled sys-
tems.
These areas can best be seen from outside the
vehicle by observing the light reflected off the
windshield.320
