door system with the integrated garage door
opener in the rear-view mirror. To do this you
will need to use the programming button on
the door drive control panel. The program-
ming button may be positioned in different
places depending on the manufacturer. It is
usually located on the door drive unit on the
garage ceiling.
Familiarize yourself with the garage door
drive operating instructions, e.g. under "Pro-
gramming of additional remote controls",
before carrying out the following steps.
Your vehicle must be within reach of the
garage door or gate opener drive. Make sure
that neither your vehicle nor any persons/
objects are present within the sweep of the
door or gate.
XTurn the SmartKey to position2in the igni-
tion lock (
Ypage 137).
XGet out of the vehicle.
XPress the programming button on the door drive unit.
Usually, you now have 30 seconds to ini-
tiate the next step.
XGet into the vehicle.
XPress previously programmed button ;,
= or? on the integrated garage door
opener until the door closes.
The rolling code synchronization is then
complete.
Notes on programming the remote con-
trol
Canadian radio frequency laws require a
"break" (or interruption) of the transmission
signals after broadcasting for a few seconds. Therefore, these signals may not last long
enough for the integrated garage door
opener. The signal is not recognized during
programming. Comparable with Canadian
law, some U.S. garage door openers also fea-
ture a "break". Proceed as follows:
Rif you live in Canada
Rif you have difficulties programming the
garage door opener (regardless of where
you live) when using the programming
steps.
XPress and hold one of buttons
;to? on
the integrated garage door opener.
After a short time, indicator lamp :lights
up yellow.
XRelease the button.
Indicator lamp :flashes yellow.
XPress button Bof garage door remote
control Afor two seconds, then release it
for t

wo seconds.
XPress button Bagain for two seconds.
XRepeat this sequence on button Bof
remote control Auntil indicator lamp :
lights up green.
When indicator lamp :lights up green:
programming is finished.
When indicator lamp :flashes green: pro-
gramming was successful. The next step is
to synchronize the rolling code.
XRelease button Bof remote control Aof
the garage door drive.
If indicator lamp :lights up red: repeat the
programming process for the correspond-
ing button on the rear-view mirror. When
doing so, vary the distance between remote
control Aand the rear-view mirror.
The required distance between remote
control Aand the integrated garage door
opener depends on the garage door drive
system. Several attempts might be neces-
sary. You should test every position for at
least 25 seconds before trying another
position.

Problems when programming
If you are experiencing problems programing
the integrated garage door opener on the
rear-view mirror, take note of the following
instructions:
RCheck the transmitter frequency used by
garage door drive remote controlAand
whether it is supported. The transmitter
frequency can usually be found on the back
of the garage door drive remote control.
The integrated garage door opener is com-
patible with devices that have units which
operate in the frequency range of 280 to
433 MHz.
RReplace the batteries in garage door
remote control A. This increases the like-
lihood that garage door remote control A
will transmit a strong and precise signal to
the integrated garage door opener.
RWhen programming, hold remote control
A at varying distances and angles from the
button which you are programming. Try var-
ious angles at a distance between 2and
12 inches (5to 30 cm) or at the same angle
but at varying distances.
RIf another remote control is available for the
same garage door drive, repeat the same
programming steps with this remote con-
trol. Before performing these steps, make
sure that new batteries have been installed
in garage door drive remote control A.
RNote that some remote controls only trans-
mit for a limited amount of time (the indi-
cator lamp on the remote control goes out).
Press buttonBon remote control Aagain
before transmission ends.
RAlign the antenna cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.
Opening/closing the garage door
After it has been programmed, the integrated
garage door opener performs the function of
the garage door system remote control. Please also read the operating instructions
