the following instructions:
R Check the transmitter frequenc yofgarage
door drive remot econtrol 001E.This can
usually be found on the back of the remote
control.
The integrated garage door opener is
compatible with devices that have units
which operate in the frequency range of
280to4 33MHz.
R Replace the batteries in garage door
remote control 001E.This increases the
likelihood that garage door remote control
001E will transmit astronga nd precis esignal
to the integrated garage door opene rinthe
rear-view mirror.
R When programming, hold remote control
001E at varying distances and angles from the
button that you are programming. Try
various angles at adistance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
R If another remote control for the same
garage door drive is available, repeat the same programming steps with this remote
control. Before performing these steps,
make sure that new batteries have been
installed in garage door drive remote
control
001E.
R Note that some remote controls only
transmit for alimited amount of time (the
indicator lamp on the remote control goes
out). Press button 0025on remote control
001E again before transmission ends.
R Align the antennac able of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal
reception/transmission.

over adistanc eof600 miles (1,000 km). The
oil consumption may be higher than this when
the vehicle is new or if you frequently drive at
high engin espeeds.
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstic kmay
be in adifferent location.
When checking th eoil level:
R park th evehicle on aleve lsurface.
R thee ngines hould be switched off for
approximately fiv eminute siftheengin eis

WARNING
Ad ischarged battery can freeze at
temperatures below freezin gpoint .When
jump-starting the vehicle or charging the
battery, gases can escape from the battery.
There is arisk of an explosion.
Allow the frozen battery to thaw out before
charging it or jump-starting.
! Only use battery chargers with a
maximum charging voltage of 14.8 V.
! Only charge the battery using the jump-
startingc onnection point.
The jump-starting connection point is in the
engine compartment( Ypage 326).
X Open the hood (Y page 306).
X Connect the battery charger to the positive
terminal and ground point in the same
order as when connecting the donor
battery in the jump-starting procedure
(Y page 326).
If, at low temperatures, the indicator lamps/
warning lamps in the instrumentc luster do
not light up, it is highly likely that the
discharged battery has frozen.Int his case,
you may neither charge the battery nor jump-
start the vehicle. The service life of athawed-
