~ locate the programming button on the sys­
tem's motor unit . The exact location and color
of the button may vary depending on the brand
of the system .
~ Press the programm ing button on the garage
doo r opener motor unit (this will us uall y acti­

~ To end rolling code programming, press and
ho ld the button aga in for 2 seconds.
~ With some systems, the button may need to be
pressed a th ird time to end the programming
process .
Opening and closing
After programming , the system should detect
the signal and begin moving when the button in
the roof head liner is pressed. Now you may pro­
gram the other buttons as needed.
{!) Tips
- The rolling code can be programmed more
quickly and more easily with the help of a

leaking and to maintain its appearance over time
¢ page 184, Care and cleaning . Also observe the
following:
- Only open and store the power top when it is
clean and dry. Sharp d irt part icles can cause
damage to the rear window and the power top .
If the power top is stored when damp, dents
can form. If left stored for a long period of
time, mildew and other damage can develop.
- Do not leave the power top open for several
weeks or the creases in it may become discol ­
ored .
- Remove ice and snow before opening the power
