Opening and closing
Garage door opener
Applies to: vehicles with garage door opener
TTA
Fig. 24 Garage door opener: examples of usage for differ-
ent systems
With the garage door opener, you can activate
systems such as the garage doors, security sys-
tems or house lights from inside your vehicle. Up
to three remote control functions can be pro-
grammed to the three buttons that are integrat-
ed in the control unit above the rearview mirror.
To be able to operate systems using the garage
door opener, the buttons in the control unit must
first be programmed.
ZX WARNING
When operating or programming the garage
door opener, make sure that no people or ob-
jects are in the area immediately surrounding
the equipment. People can be injured or prop-
erty can be damaged if struck when closing.
— For security reasons, we recommend that
you clear the programmed buttons before
selling the vehicle.
— For additional information about HomeLink,
visit www.homelink.com.
— For the Declaration of Conformity with the
provisions from the FCC in the United States
and Industry Canada, see > page 283.

Fig. 25 Control panel above the interior rearview mirror
Requirement: the button in the control panel
must be programmed > page 30 and the vehi-
cle must be located within range of the system,
such as the garage door.
> Press the button to open the garage door. The
green LED (@ blinks or turns on.
» Press the button again to close the garage
door.
@ Tips
To open or close the garage door, do not press
the button longer than 20 seconds or the ga-
rage door opener will switch to programming
mode.
Programming the transmitter
Applies to: vehicles with garage door opener
BFV-0204
Fig. 26 Distance between the radiator grille and the re-
mote control transmitter
Programming the button: step 1 on the
control panel
1. Switch the ignition on.
8S8012721BA
Opening and closing
Press both of the outer buttons on the con-
trol unit > page 30, fig. 25 until the yellow
LED (2) turns off and the green LED @ blinks.
This procedure clears the standard codes that
were set at the factory and does not need to
be repeated again to program the other but-
tons.
Briefly press the button in the control panel
that you want to program.
Wait until the yellow LED (2) blinks. The pro-
gramming mode is active for five minutes.
Go in front of the vehicle with the original re-
mote control transmitter for the system that
you are programming to the control panel
button.
Programming the button: step 2 at the
radiator grille
6. Hold the remote control transmitter at the
vehicle radiator grille > fig. 26.
Now press the remote control transmitter
until the turn signals on your vehicle blink.
This can take up to 30 seconds.
If the emergency flashers blink three times,
the programming was successful. If the
emergency flashers only blink one time, the
five-minute time limit for programming has
expired or the programming was unsuccess-
ful. Repeat the programming procedure
starting from the third step or change the
distance to the radiator grille.
If the garage door or other systems do not
open with the HomeLink buttons even if the
programming was successful, the system
may use a rolling code instead of a fixed
code. You must also then perform rolling
code programming > page 31.
The other two buttons in the control panel can be
programmed using the instructions given above.
Start with step 3.
Deleting button programming
The programmed buttons cannot be deleted indi-
vidually. They must be deleted all at once. Repro-
gram the buttons if necessary.
> Switch the ignition on.
> Press both of the outer buttons on the control
unit until the yellow LED (2) turns off and the
green LED (@ blinks.
Reprogramming buttons
> Switch the ignition on.
> To reprogram an individual button, press the
desired button until the green LED (@) turns off
and the yellow LED (2) starts to blink (after ap-
proximately 20 seconds). Release the button
immediately. The programming mode is active
for five minutes.
> Continue with step 5.
@ Tips
— The distance needed between the remote
control transmitter and the garage door
opener module in the radiator grille
=> fig. 26 depends on the system you are
programming.
— Depending on the system model, you may
need to release the button on the remote
control transmitter while it is programming
and press it again. Hold every position you
try when programming for at least 15 sec-
onds before trying a new position. Keep an
eye on the vehicle turn signals while doing
this.
Rolling code programming
Applies to: vehicles with garage door opener
On some systems, programming a rolling code is
also necessary.
Identifying a rolling code
> Press the button in the control unit that is al-
ready programmed again and hold it down.
>» Watch the green LED @) > page 30, fig. 25. If
the green LED blinks quickly, the system (such
as a garage door) has a rolling code.
> Program the rolling code as follows:
Activating the system motor unit
> Locate the programming button on the system
motor unit. The exact location and color of the
button may vary depending on the brand.
> Press the programming button on the system
motor unit (usually this will activate a “display” >
