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”
30
on the motor unit). You now have approximate-
ly 30 seconds to program the button in the
control panel.
Programming the button in the control
panel
> Press and hold the previously programmed but-
ton in the control panel for two seconds.
> To complete rolling code programming, press
and hold the button again for two seconds.
> On some systems, the button might need to be
pressed a third time to end the programming
procedure.
After programming, the system should recognize
the signal and operate when the button in the
control panel is pressed. Now you may program
the other buttons as needed.
@ Tips
— The rolling code can be programmed more
quickly and more easily with the help of a
second person.
— If any difficulties occur when programming
the rolling code, it may be helpful to read
the system operating manual.

Power top
Power top
Automatic power top
(eT e @eleurlsela)
Applies to: vehicles with power top
The power top opens and closes automatically.
When open, the power top is stored completely
in the power top compartment. The power top
can be opened or closed at speeds up to 30 mph
(50 km/h). The power top will not open when the
temperature is below 5 °F (-15 °C).
Under normal conditions, the power top is wind-
and waterproof. In rare cases, small droplets of
water may form under extreme weather condi-
tions, such as torrential or prolonged rain. That is
normal and no cause for concern.
Follow
the care instructions to keep the power
top free of leaks and to maintain its appearance
=> page 236, Care and cleaning. Also observe the
following:
— Open and stow the power top only when it is
clean and dry. Stowing the power top when it is
damp can create imprints in it, and mildew and
other damage can result if it is left stowed
while damp for long periods of time.
— To prevent scratching or damaging the power
top, do not use any sharp-edged objects to re-
move ice and snow. The rear window may be
cleared of ice with a standard ice scraper.
— Do not leave the power top open for several
weeks or the creases in it may become discol-
ored.
— Do not open the power top when the tempera-
ture is below 32 °F (0 °C). The fabric in the
power top loses elasticity in sub-zero tempera-
tures.
