The required distance between remote con-
trol Aand the integrated garage door opener
depends on the garage door drive system.
Several attemptsm ight be necessary. You
should test every position for at least
25 seconds before trying another position.
Synchronizing the rolling code
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Ypage 228).
If the garage door system uses arolling 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 manufact

urer. 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-
ther your vehicle nor any persons/objects are
present within the sweep of the door or gate.

The rolling code synchronization is then com-
plete.
Notes on programming the remote con-
trol
Canadianr adio frequency laws require a"break"
(or interruption) of the transmission signals
after broadcasting for afew seconds. Therefore,
these signals may not last long enough for the
integrated garage door opener. The signal is not
recognized during programming. Comparable

Example
XPark the vehicle on alevel surface.
Only check the coolant level when the vehicle
is on alevel surface and the engine has cooled
down.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the igni-
tion lock (Ypage 116).
On vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, press the
Start/Stop button twice (

GWARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance. Damaged tires and atire
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is arisk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact aqualified
specialist workshop.
Tire pressure reached
GWARNING
At ire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitabl efor higher speeds. There is arisk of
accident.
You should thereforea dapt yourdriving style
accordingly and drive carefully .Donot exceed
the specified maximu mspeedw ithatire that
has beenr epaired using tire sealant.
The maximu mspeedf oratire sealed with tire
sealant is 50 mph (80 km/h). The upper part of
the TIREFIT sticker must be affixed to the instru-
ment cluster in the driver's fieldofv ision.
!Residuefrom the tire sealant may come out
