batteries in garage door remote control
A of your garage door drive before
programming.

remote control A towards the transmitter
buttons on the rear-view mirror from a
distance of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 20 cm).i The distance between garage door
remote control A and the integrated
garage door opener depends on the system
of the garage door drive. You might require
several attempts. You should test every
position for at least 20 seconds before
trying another position.XKeep transmitter button B on garage door
remote control A pressed until indicator
lamp : starts to flash rapidly.

transmitter buttons. When doing so, vary
the distance between the garage door's
remote control and the transmitter buttons
in the rear-view mirror.
i If the garage door system works with a
rolling code, you must synchronize the
remote control integrated into the rear-
view mirror with the garage door system
receiver after programming.
You will find further information in the
garage door opening system's operating
instructions, e.g. the sections on
"Synchronizing the transmitter" or
"Registering a new transmitter". You can

Notes on programming the remote
control
Canadian radio frequency laws require
transmitter signals to "time-out" (or quit) after
several seconds of transmission. This may
Features233Loading, stowing and featuresBA 204 USA, CA Edition A 2011; 1; 5, en-UShereepeVersion: 3.0.3.62010-05-20T09:17:30+02:00 - Seite 233Z

not be long enough for the integrated signal
transmitter to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian law,
some U.S. gate operators are designed to
"time-out" in the same manner.
If you live in Canada or have difficulties
programming the garage door opener
(regardless of where you live) when using the
programming steps (see above), proceed as
follows:XPress transmitter button ( ;, = or ?) and
hold it down during the following steps until
the setup has been completed
successfully.XAt the same time, press transmitter button
B of the garage door remote control for
two seconds, then release it for two
seconds, then press it again for two
seconds.XRepeat this sequence on transmitter
button B of the garage door remote
control until the frequency signal has been
learned.XIf the setup procedure is successful,
indicator lamp : flashes once slowly and
goes out after a few seconds.XContinue with the other programming
steps (see above).
Problems when programming
If you have problems when programming the
integrated remote control, please note the
following:
R check the transmitter frequency of garage
door remote control A (which can usually
be found on the rear of the remote control).
The integrated remote control is
compatible with equipment that operates
in the frequency range 280 to 390 MHz.
R replace the batteries in garage door remote
control A. This increases the likelihood of
garage door remote control A sending a
strong and precise signal to the integrated
remote control on the rear-view mirror.
R When aiming the garage door remote
control at the transmitter buttons on the
rear-view mirror, hold garage door remote
control A at differing distances and angles
from the transmitter button that you are
programming. Try different angles from a
distance of 2 to 12 inches (5 to 30 cm) or
the same angle from differing distances.
R If there is another garage door remote
control for the same device, perform the
programming steps again using the remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
installed in the garage door remote control.
R Align the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.
Opening or closing the garage door
Once programmed, the integrated remote
control will assume the function of the garage
door system's remote control. Please also
read the operating instructions for the garage
door system.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2 in the
ignition lock.XPress transmitter button ;, = or ? in the
overhead control panel that you have
programmed to operate the garage door.
Garage door system with fixed code:
indicator lamp : lights up continuously.
Garage door system with rolling code:
indicator lamp : flashes briefly and then
lights up for approximately two seconds.
This is repeated for up to 20 seconds.
i The transmitter will transmit a signal for
as long as the transmitter button is being
pressed. The transmission will be halted
after a maximum of 20 seconds and
indicator lamp : will flash. Press the
transmitter button again, if necessary.
