Programming the transmitter
Applies to: vehicles with garage door opener (Homelink)
Fig. 26 Distance betwee n the radia tor grille and t he re
mote control transmitter
Programming the button: step 1 on the
control panel
1. Switch the ignition on.
2. Press both of the outer buttons on the con
trol unit
c:, page 30, fig. 25 unt il the yellow
LED @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 .
3. Briefly press the button in the control panel
that you want to program.
4. Wait until the yellow LED@blinks. The pro
gramming mode is active for five minutes.
S. 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 .
7. Now press the remote control transmitter
until the turn signals on your vehicle blink.
This can take up to 30 seconds.
8 . 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 .
Opening and closing
9. If the garage door or other systems do not
open with the Home link buttons even if the
programming was successful, the system
may use a ro lling code instead of a fixed
code. You must also then perform
rolling
code programming
c:, page 32 .
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

Id enti fying a roll in g cod e
~ Press the button in the control un it that is al
ready programmed again and hold it down.
~ Watch the green LED (D ¢ page 30, fig. 25. If
the green LED blinks quickly, the system (such as a garage door) has a rolling code .

Acti vating the s ystem motor unit
~ Locate the programming button on the system
motor unit. The exact locat ion and color of the
button may vary depend ing on the brand .
~ Press the programm ing button on the system
motor un it (usually th is wi ll act ivate a "d isplay"

Power top
Power top
General information
The power top opens and closes automat ica lly .
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 (SO km/h).
Under normal conditions , the power top is wind
and waterproof. In rare cases, small droplets of
water may form under ext reme weather condi
tions such as torrential or prolonged rain. That is normal and no cause for conc ern .
F ollow the care instruct ions to keep the power
top free of leaks and to maintain its appearance
9 page 266, 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 if it is left
that way for long periods of time, mi ldew and
other damage can fo rm . T o prevent scratch ing
or damaging the power top, do not use any
sharp-edged objects to remove ice and snow .
The rear window may be cleared w ith a stand
ard 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 elast icity in s ub-zero tempe ra
tu res .
