Rolling code programming is also needed for
some systems .
Identifying a rolling c ode
.. Press and hold the button in the roof headliner
that was a lready programmed.
.,. Watch the LED@¢
page 40 , fig. 34. If the LED
blinks quickly, the systems (such as a garage
door) is equipped w ith a roll ing code .
.. Program the rolling code as follows:
Acti vating the moto r unit in a s ystem
.. Locate the programming button on the sys­
tem's motor un it. The exact locat ion and color
of the button may vary depending on the brand
of the system.
.. Press the programming button on the garage
door opener motor un it (th is w ill usually ac ti­

have app roxima tely
30 sec on ds to program the
button in the roof headliner .
Programming the button in the roof
headliner
.,. Press and hold the previous ly programmed but­
ton in the roof headliner for 2 seconds .
.. To end rol ling code programm ing, press and
hold the button again for 2 seconds.
.. With some systems, the button may need to be
pressed a third t ime to end the programming
process.
After programm ing, the system should detect
the signal and beg in moving when the button in
the roof headliner is pressed . Now you may pro ­
gram the other buttons as needed.
{D Tips
- The rolling code can be programmed more
quickly and mo re easily with the help of a
second person.
- If you have difficulty programming the roll­

fun ction *
To help you see the cu rb when backing into a
parking space, the surface of the mi rror tilts
slightly. For this to happen, the knob must be in
the position for the front passenger 's outside
mirror .
You can adj ust the ti lted mirror surface by turn ­
ing the knob in the desired direction . When you
move out of reverse and into another gear, the
new mirror position is stored and assigned to the
key you are using.
The mirror goes back into its origina l position
once you drive forward faster than 9 mph
(15 km/h) or turn the ignition
off.
A WARNING
Curved mirror surfaces (convex or spherical*)
increase your field of view. Remember that
vehicles or other objects will appear smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat mir­
ror .
If you use this mirro r to estimate distan­
ces of following veh icles when changing
lanes, you cou ld es timate incorrectly and
cause an accident .
(D Note
-If the mirror hous ing was moved by force
(fo r example, by running into an object
when maneuvering the vehicle), the m irror
must be folded all the way in using the pow­
er folding function. The mirror housing
must not be moved back into place by hand
because this would impair the function of
the mirror mechanism.
- If you wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash, you must fold the exterior mirrors in
Li ghts a nd Visio n
to reduce the risk of damage to the mirrors.
Never fold power fo lding exterior mirrors*
by hand . On ly fold them in and out us ing
the power controls.
@ Tips
- If the power adjusting function malfunc­
tions, the glass in both mirrors can be ad­
justed by pressing on the edge of it by hand.
