rior mirror has been programmed.
If the LED does not flash faster after at
least 60 seconds, change the distance bej
tween the interior mirror and the hand-held transmitter and repeat the step. Several
more attempts at different distances may be necessary. Wait at least 15 seconds bej
tween attempts.
